Parametric Bottle Design

English.
Hi all!
I created .ghx for Parametric Design of Bottle. I defined profile curves giving control points with slider, definition of hight, shifting, and offset　based on referenced circle. Then created surface with sweep and rotate them with number of division. Section curves of 2Railsweep is defined with 3 Point arc and shape is also controlable.
You can change shape by sliding 16 paramteters.
The definition is rather long, hope somebody can modify with more sphiscated manner.

パラメトリックにボトルデザインをする.ghxファイルを作成しました。ボトルのプロファイルカーブを、参照となる円に対して、高さ、シフト、オフセットでコントロールポイントの位置情報を与えて定義。次にスイープで分割数だけ回転コピーして作成。
スイープの断面、3点円弧で作成し、形状コントロールするようにしています。
ボトル形状は、16のパラメーターをスライドすることで定義出来ます。

I think to get the Panel on the right, you need to type: grasshopperpanel and hit enter... you will see this Panel Control somewhere on your screen.
Hope this helps.

I have not tried prototyping yet.
This is my first GH showing. My intention of making this is, simulating bottle shape with 5 degree NURBS curves as profile curve with sliders.
Control points of Profile curve is defined by division points on 9 circles, and circle radius can be ofsset then curve can be controled XYZ direction.
Created surface geometry controled by section curves also defined shape by sliders.
If you re-define each sliders you can create various shape of bottles.
Hope this could be answer.

thanks for sharing!
It looks very interresting, have you tried prototyping those bottles? it reminds me of those cardboard paper grip that some brand put on their take-away coffee :)
How did you get this control bar with sliders on the side of GH ?
