Chessboard

This is the first time I show my work here so, please, be honest. Actually it’s my first “big” work, as I have tendency to get bored very fast. Hmm…what else, it ain’t too great and I think at least the horse needs some tweaking. Oh yes, and the lightning sucks at the moment, but hey, it’s in progress =).

And this one is with “reflections”. I made the chessboard material transparent, and inverted the pieces. Anyone got a nice tutorial on envmapping with flat surfaces?

Reflection!

Thanks for your time.

Edit: Uploaded to a better place…

HI EP-

heh… my fisrt post was also a chess board… tough my envoirment was quite different… here is a free tip: put some stars in the background and name it “Chess In Space Redux” :stuck_out_tongue:

Actually, not bad.

The reflections are very inventive for a first time. One prob is the dark squares show no reflections but they would show at least the white peices. This may change when the lighting is finished.

Good job. I’m afraid there is not turning back for you now. :wink:

Thanks for all the feedback!

Here’s the new version. ( Should work this time, actually) I added some environment.

Chess!
