YACS (chess set)

:stuck_out_tongue: work in progress (hence posting it here:)

  • this is my first attempt at a chess set

  • I am very new to blender, i have had it for a while just have not learned how to use it yet :slight_smile: so if you have any advice at all please be very specific and give detailed information on how to make the changes.

  • I use the glass settings: turn on raytrans, IOR= 1.5, Alpha= .200, spec= 0, turn on ray mir, raymir= .2 as i saw sugested on another thread.

  • I had to figure this out all on my own as I could not find a decent tutorial for making chess set that was not a video tutorial (im on dialup videos take way to long to download :frowning: )

hope you enjoy :slight_smile:

ok and here is the latest update:

and here is the latest update:

thanks a bunch more updates to come

For your glass, turn the alpha down to 0, spec = 1.4 hard = 240. Cool looking pawns!:slight_smile:

I’ll have to make those adjustments, but for the moment here is the latest update for my render… (ill put it in the orginal post)

oh my i tried it with those settings, way to clear/glass like not the effect im going for. I like the color’d or opaque glass look that I have here :slight_smile:

I will be using those settings for my next project which will call for realistic looking glass…

updated the set of pictures, the last one is a bit blurry/grainy when i brightened it in Paint Shop, that effect will be gone when i finish the set and work on lighting :slight_smile:

no thoughts huh?
