Glass Chess
 

Here's a group of chess pieces i've made, sizes need to be corrected and maybe a little less reflection but this is the general idea

Great links! they really rock! 12h render!!!!! ahhh, on flay there is a great plug to seperate out a frame to 2 computers for rendering. I'd network and render out that way.

Well if I only had another machine...:)

Nice chess pieces there BlackClaw!
Do you mind sharing the glass properties of the pieces. I've been trying to make glass objects but i have failed.

Also are you going to model the whole board with everything on it?

-sure, i'll post the reflection map (a grey light pic) and settings when i get home - its based on a thick glass.pst on some website with slightly altered settings.

- ill prob model the whole board, but might make it into a UT 2003 level (make the rooks sniping spots - king as dom point etc) any quick way to export it with decent textures into UED 3.0 ?

Here's the settings (finally)

Colour 255 255 255
lum 0
dif 0

spec 85
gloss 55
ref 35

trans 75
ref 1.7
trans 0

colour highlights 30

Hope that helps !!

Thx Blackclaw
