3D Chess Set Project
Overview of Project (Video)
About Project
I got the inspiration to create chess models from a chess box that I had, In 2022 Feb I started working on this project and at that time I was new to Blender/ 3D Designing (Blender is a 3D tool) so I was trying to learn textures and lighting.
So I thought let's create something which is interesting I picked the chess box because I used to play chess (LoL, I am not good at it at all, Someone gifted it so that's why I used to play just for fun)
It was a Personal Project.
Process/ Behind the Scene
I will try to cover the process in the form of a story so it will be much better to read :)
The first step was to figure out what items and what things I needed to create I used to play chess early so I already knew what items I had to create mostly it was chess pieces and chess boards which needed to be created
After this I started drawing some rough sketches in these sketches I tried to create different forms of chess pieces.
After creating a lot of different sketches I finalized three mainly, then I did some refinement and selected two designs.
It was a personal project so I wasn't exactly following what I was doing in the drawing because sometimes you can better understand during creating things.
The next phase was the implementation phase during this phase I was creating sample actual samples over Blender, the picture above I shared was the first iteration.
After this, I did some iterative work and came up with the final designs.
Final Designs
For the final design, I created two styles — Wood and Marble.
Variation 1 — Wood
Variation 2 — Marble
Impact
This project helped me in improving my modeling skills, Due to this project I was also able to learn a lot about texture and lighting.
