      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. πŸ˜‰

        Cool. Did you model the set?

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

        Can I see the wires of the Knight?

        I don't see what you mean???

        If I make it look easy...It is probably easy

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

              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.

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

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

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

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

                          There's one mistake in this model though, you know what it is? πŸ˜„

                                    Boofredlay you should render these positions. Is twilight fast enough? πŸ˜†

                                          That is terrific. But Massimo is right. . .lower right H-1 should be white. but that is fussing. The design is awesome.

                                          It reminds me of Man Ray's 1926 chess set in the MoMA.
