This was made for a class on 3d character modeling and we were tasked to create a loot box. I wanted to make something that wasn't in the form of a crate or tresure chest so I came up with this design. Although the file name is labled as 'Egg with Legs', I sometimes called it 'Rategg' or 'Eggrat'.

I thought it be fun if the loot box would be able to run around for the players to catch but not necessarily make it alive, hence its close resemblance to a toy egg.

Beginning with a quick sketch and making a mock-up with colors, I began modeling it. The first iternation was focused on sculpting the mesh and adding extraneous details. Then it got retopologized to make its simplified form.

It was thrown into another program to add in the textures and I created a simple base for the model to stand on. And finally making some renders it in a few different angles.
