For this project, I designed a tricky treasure chest. Source images below (link/credits at bottom).
For my chest, I used the poly modeling tools discussed in class to build the chest mold and outside straps faithfully from the source image. Here is a front view and a wireframe view of the model.
Here's a side view of the chest.
In particular, I'm proud of the black metal handles, spheres, and padlock, which I made using similar techniques. The lion handles were found online and are linked below.
Here are two videos of the chest in action:

Here are two full views of the insides, which are lit up and contain tons of gold. The statue is also solid gold... so it must be a pretty valuable treasure!
