Chess Anyone?

do u actually play chess boo? or you just like the board? haha

Don't know about boo, but at least in my case, I gave away the chess board and bought a set of Jenga.

I do play chess but on a recreational level. My nephew on the other hand just won his first open tournament this past weekend and got $175. He is 11.

I have a number of sets, one of which is quite nice.

I also made a couple chess sets for FF a while back. I may have a go at rendering them as well.

My chess set rendered in TW. still learning.

boofredlay

Cool. Did you model the set? Can I see the wires of the Knight?

Cyberdactyl

Very nice boofredlay.

Clean and innovative.

Although after a few glasses of scotch, the difference in the pieces could get 'subjective' after a mate to say the least.

Yeah. Quite while ago in my SU 3 days . . .

I don't see what you mean???

boofredlay

The mesh, the wire frame. Turn on hidden edges as I want to see how you created the knight.

Cyberdactyl

I think he means the wireframe. View/Facestyle/Wireframe

The "K-nig-it" (sorry . . little monty python gag there ) is just an extruded profile. I am really not that clever. I might have even scammed this from someone else. I don't remember.

EDIT::: oops. My bad.

boofredlay

Well David as much as you play down how you did it, it is still a nice chess piece, cheers.

And... "I fart in your general direction. Silly English types"

Thanks Boo.

Nice model (would be interesting in which way it would change your play), great render. Twilight amazes me with every new picture I see.

boofredlay

I did this Wobble Chess set a while back. I think it likes Twilight

Gaieus

Very cool, Eric. Great job both modelling and rendering!

I can imagine it's a good set for shiops and aeroplanes as the figures can fall off harder.

michaliszissiou

Thats an excellent render
There's one mistake in this model though, you know what it is?

massimo

The board is inverted. H1 square has to be white.

michaliszissiou

It was obvious massimo. So e2-e4 ...

massimo

Sure it was...e7-e5

boofredlay

Oops.

michaliszissiou

OK this thread is not about chess, maybe a Ruy Lopez was coming (I play this better as black). KT f3
Boofredlay you should render these positions. Is twilight fast enough?
