Render of my 3D treasure chest

Treasure Chest Render:
This was my first proper 3D project and I’m still so proud of it. I built it in Autodesk MAYA but textured and painted it in Mudbox. I decided to go against the conventional colors and create a chest themed around where it would be found, be the sea on a beach. I was partially inspired by the ocean chest from Terraria, one of my favorite things in that game is the amount of detail they put into certain items that make them more unique. I also like the colors blue and gold, they go very well together. It has an opening animation, which I featured in a rendered video. It also has a coin particle generator that spews out coins. I found myself with extra time so scattered a few coins around the chest and on a later date added a small sandcastle, though this cannot be seen in this image.
