With this model I to create a 5000 polygon venus fly trap, with this I decided to try an interesting take by making it look mechanical and trying to add gears to it, out of all the models I think this one was one of the hardest to do because of the mechanics behind it, however because I was so worried about the deadline for the assignment I think that this is one of my worst models for it, despite the interesting take.
Along with this the model adds up to nearly 5.5K polygons which means I went over the limit, however because of the 10% up or down I barely scraped the border and my model is technically within the limits.
