There are some unused sequences and materials/textures. Please go though all of them and optimize them.
I like these upgraded chests, especially the Sapphire and Legendary ones. Can be very useful for many 👍
I also find creative using the Arcane Eye texture for the Sapphire Chest when you hide the eye with the chest so that it looks like a new texture, I somehow didn’t even understood right away.

Here are a few things to consider:

The static rays could be billboarded and locked to Z axis thus always face the camera without any need to make X-crossed rays.

Seems like the glowing layers are not attached to the main bones of the chests so that their scaling is not synchronized during the 'Birth' making the chests glitch through.

Although the chests' lids are not fully covered by the glowing layer and it's invisible from above, the locks are almost not covered and reveal a glitch.

There's a way to use in-game textures for the Legendary Chest if provided that you use geoset with miltiple faces, in this way it will be possible to wrap the texture of the runes almost beyond recognition, creating a good variety of patterns.

I hope that my quibbles might be helpful, otherwise just ignore them 🙂

Fixed birth. They had the same scaling animation as the normal chest but their Z was not the same.

Added the orange chest which was missing from the screenshot.

The custom texture is used to clean the blue color and sharpen the edges. The other things I don't mind.

If there is enough demand, I could do some more of the enhanced chests. Perhaps one per color?

The default item model looks a bit strange in conjunction with these, as these are all semi-closed, while the default one is completely open. This might be a silly request, but any chance of a chest using the same model with no glow at all, to supplement as "common" items?

Very cool concept. I was looking for something similar to these less than a month ago, so this is a very welcome resource.
