Pump bottle

Week 3 bottle modelling.

1. Creating loft:
couldn't create loft because there is 2 open loop profiles. For whatever reason Solidworks do not let me choose closed loop even if I open up selection manager.  
 Somehow I was able to select closed loop after trying for N times, and then closing and reopen solidworks.
 2. Swept cut
The cut out shape is a bit weird.
 Adjusted the sketches and the loft shape for 2 hours to get to a shape that I am happy with.

 3. Swept cut the bottom
The shape of the cut is not what I expected....
 I changed the sketch from a trapezium to a curve.
 much better.
Mirrored everything, adding neck and threads and fillet.

I applied the decals to the model assembly at part level, but could not map it naturally on to the faces but when I tried applying decal on the parts (head and torso) I could map on "face" as I wanted. I applied the materials and colours and textures to the legoman minifigure and tried to use photoview 360 to create photorealistic renderings. Followed all the steps in the tutorial to edit scenes, add camera, adjust lightings and angles and all that, pressed preview window and then saw black lines on the head and hand. The lines appeared in integrated preview and final render too. To fix this I tried everything that I could think of: check for lines on image, Google for solutions, using decals provided in learnonline, render with another computer, shrinking the decal image size,...
