Country: Australia
Software: LightWave 3D

Hello everyone.

For this piece I tried to create an original chess set. I went for the art-deco style. I also tried to incorporate the old goblet/two faces image for some figures.
All work is done woth lightwave and textured with modified presets. Some images use HDRI, all are rendered with fprime.

All critiques are most welcome.

Great Work!

Any chance that I could get a 1920x1200 version of this?

Put the camera at a higher angle...and the background scene is a bit too cluttered to see the chess pieces clearly, it camouflages a bit(is that supposed to be mirrors?).

Thanks for the replies everyone.

PhantomDesign: I wanted to have a bunch of boards in the background - the idea was for them to make the scene look clutterd. After all, it is the gameS we play - not A game. Although, a bit more DOF might look better.

For a less cluttered scene, check out the kb01 and 02. (links to imageshack)

l love it Avstral, good to see that even with the amount of chess based renders out there that there is no limit to variations to a subject matter you can have. My favourite part is the glowing rings on the pieces.
