Coming to the Fourth medical equipment, i.e., The Thermometer. A thermometer is an instrument that measures temperature. It can measure the temperature of a solid such as food, a liquid such as water, or a gas such as air. The three most common units of measurement for temperature are Celsius, Fahrenheit, and Kelvin.
To begin with, I thought of modelling thermometer with basic shapes and surfaces. For which, I started by using a box to create the main body of the thermometer. I wanted to keep this model low poly and as simple as possible. Hence, i started by aligning the shape of the vertices and edge so that it resembles more and more to the real one. After that I beveled the outer edges so that I can get a ‘smooth’ effect. Beveling edge is a really effective technique to make sharp edges rounder.
After the main body, I started to model the components of the thermometer. As the screen of a thermometer is slightly inside, with the help of the beveled edges of a cube I got a smooth and easier void where the screen or the dial on which the temperature would be seen. Similarly, for the buttons, I took a cylinder and beveled it with the box so that the buttons can be allotted over there.
For buttons, I took a circle and beveled it along with the same beveled cube that I took for creating a dial, modified its scale, and created the gap in the circular handle. Following this, I used a copy of this beveled box to make the button.
For the end part, i.e., the Cap, I created a curve and extruded it to form a polygon. After that, I again beveled the sharp edges of the cap to get this desired shape.
For the frontal tip of the thermometer, I used a polygon sphere and manipulated its scale, and transformed a few of its faces so that I could get this smoother Tip.
For texturing, I used a Phong-e Material. It was much more simple for getting this rough but elegant texture. I used the same material for all the parts of this thermometer and it gave me an amazing result.
