In this Instructable I will give a detailed overview of how I created a jewelry box in 3DS Max and Zbrush before having it printed by Shapeways. I designed the jewelry box with the intention of proposing to my girlfriend with the ring inside. The box was designed in the Art Nouveau style with flourishes reminiscent of the Elven scenery of Middle Earth. I wanted this to be very personal, so her face was sculpted onto the lid with the help of a friend from a series of candid profile images.

Signing UpStep 1: 3DS Max 1: Rough Shape
Work began in 3DS Max 2012 where I started by drawing a simple subdivided Plane. I applied a FFD 4x4x4 modifier and began to pull back the corners to give the front a rounded appearance. The Shell modifier was applied next to give the box some height with some subdivision segments. Lastly, I selected the front row of polys on the top of the box and performed a Hinge From Edge operation that created the rough rounded shape at the top of the box.
