Update: Digitize that bottle!!!!

I'm having a lot of trouble with the bottle, actually. Between juggling other midterm projects and trying to figure out the weird truncated cone shape at the bottom I've been a little stuck. I feel like I'm on the edge of breaking through and completing the project but for now I'm stumped.

So, to sum up what I've achieved - I created the cap using extremely fine triangles and the extrude tools, and used the caliper to measure out the size of the bottom of the bottle.
I had to do a bunch of maths to figure out the size and number of triangles I need, finding the circumference and the arc length of the base of each triangle, then dividing the circumference by the arc length. I then used the rotate/copy tool to line the entire circumference of a circle with the triangles, and extruded it to form a cap. I also made a smaller cylinder inside and used boolean split to make the cap hollow.

For the bottle base, so far I've made the hollow shape on the bottom of the cylinder and will use boolean split to cut the shape out of the bottle.

That's all, I haven't had the chance to work much on the project but I definitely think I'll be able to push past this little block and finish it soon.
