hello…first time posting a 3d piece here.
i just finished this a today…had to make some adjustments (i really dont know what to do with the background). anyway, i used a black & white photo as a reference…first attempt at photorealism.
comments welcome. (suggestions too, which makes me ponder if i should have put this is WIP)
anyways…thanks in advance =)
The reflection of the white piece kind of clashes with the marble texture of the black piece. Other than that, it looks nice.
hey… nice piece of work. I love the reflections. i suggest you can change the table texture or to something else, other than that the chess piece set is very nice and well done 
very NICE :bounce: :applause: :bowdown:
This makes me wonder why everyone choose their first themes to be chess boards and the check mate . Big mystery.
It might be my screen, but it looks a bit dark to me…I would suggest brightening it up a bit, maybe a little more fill light or something. Just me 2c

The checker material IS a default one in maya
G’day,
Nice work, altho the reflectivity of the black piece (and the white as well, presumably) is too uniform - maybe you could try some roll-off on the edges?
oohhhh…replies how encouraging…
thanks for all the critics…i agree there’s just something not right with my texturing for both pieces…i’ll try to adjust it abit, especially now that i see the substantial difference in the white piece and the black one…
thanks again for the comments
ps: i dont know why i picked a chess theme…but i guess its because it wouldn’t be that difficult to model and i could concentrate on texturing and lighting (which i suck in) :bounce:
