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?

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.

...Nc6. Be careful, I'm an expert of the Marshall gambit (especially the Steiner variation) in the Ruy Lopez...

Hey, Eric. If you replace the board with a flat one, you could render an animation of a Chess opening with cmd's Mover.rb.

No, no, thats not funny, we need this particular board, its (as our friend oli uses to say) its sexy. We just need Boofredlay to render positions. "chess anyone" is the name of this thread. It will take a month but this is not a problem for experienced players like massimo and me. A ray traced chess game...

Better yet, how about I post up a chess model (I can't do the Wobble because it is FF property) and you can download it, make your move then render it with whatever you want. Even straight SU output. The trick is you have to pick a side and never play for the other.

The other chess board I did here at the beginning of the tread is free and clear. I have others I want to model as well... Give me a day or so and I will have one up.

Eric,

The wobble board is great (other than the obvious). One thing that stands out is the repeating table wood texture. With such a close shot a higher res image is really needed. Maybe a bit of bump as well but this is ultra critical

Nice work!

This is a whole chess game (Kramnik-Topalov, 2003 blindfold) in a single image! I just love it. You can read about it here.

Sicilian defense now. Thats why its so beautiful.

massimo

Hmmm...biased like any true Sicilian's player is.

Ok, here is an update. I fixed the square positions, rounded some more edges, added a base to the board for more weight and changed the chair.

massimo

Now that's really nice.

I am affraid that you must make another render (deja vu)
Pieces are not on the good side
Right case is white that is good
In classical play King is always the bigger size and has the cross (so it's good)
And at the start the Queen is always on its color!
so your first play is E2 E4

But see your image it's D2 D4 !
It's very pertubating for a chess player (chees player)

You can answer that is a retrograde analysis problem but I doubt that is that you want make
And don't know if this position has a solution

ps I understand your error of the first post: original had the same

boofredlay

Thanks Frenchy. I have to keep you guys guessing...
