      Thanks all.

      Yes, Twilight is easier to use than Vray, at least for me it is. I cannot say that for other people but for me, yes.

        yeah twilight is sweeeeeeet!! the material editor is so easy to use and reliable!

        just reading the vray manual is a challenge in itself.

            yeah the concept and pieces are artwork themselves...and the image is great. it looks a bit muted though...probably because of the background. But twilight is looking more and more intriguing. I dont see myself switching from vray because of it multi-platform use but it is looking like a tempting solution for Sketchup renderings. Good work

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

                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.

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

                      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˜‰

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

                            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.

                                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.

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

                                        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˜„
