hi, i hope it works this time.
the game is Thief 4
my item is the "eye-holder" for garrett's retro-eletrical eye. since it draws power from his body, he usually does not wear it while not on mission. the eye recharches and can be used for a while more outside his body.
its a bag-type item that is worn around the neck. it is NOT an item in the game. is there just for show :). it does move when the hero is moving so it's animated. it is part of the clothes of garrett. i will do a rough sketch showing how it would look around his neck.
i started with a cylinder and a sphere of same radius and same numbers of segments. i joined them. and after some effects i got this
http://fanton.50webs.com/works2/screen1.jpgthis is my first attempt. here i created a cylinder, and a sphere, both having the same number of segments. i alligned them and then combined them with boolean.

then i added a cover, tried to spread it out like a piece of leather. originally i wanted something simmilard to a lid with a kind of border. but its harder to do, and looks uglier. the final version would have a piece of leather cut to size, bolted in the back instead of a hinge. is a primitive yet efficient device for holding something :)

i skipped a couple of steps.
as you can see i am using the MultiRes modifier wich is lazy-man's lowpoly. yesterday, i have recreated the container polygon by polygon.
this is my first big project, so i must excuse myslef for not being more advanced. i know basic modelling, an almost no rendering or texturizing.
this is the rendered version

i also have paper sketches as well.
this is but a sketch, not the lowpoly version. i'm still working on that. i made this quickly to use it as a model to understend how to make the good version.
also, on second thought, this container will hang from the belt. would look nicer and less annoyance.
this is part of garrett's clothing.
