And under Tanks request, here it is without the cracks and with red and black squares.
Tell me which you like better.

Oops, I forgot the picture!

The wood is definitely better. About the colors I'm not sure; personally I prefer the shading on black and white version. Keep going the updates

Kvaalen · 27-01-2003, 08:41 PM

Thanks, I like the black and whitw better too.
Should I leave the cracks or not?

DigiMatt · 27-01-2003, 08:47 PM

Kvaalen: wow.. that definatly alot better, great progress.. I would go with the white/black squares bit its a matter of opinion I guess..
And you should by all means upload the preset..

Good work

I guess I should have explained what I meant by cracks.
If you look at the the black and white one, you'll see some wood(cracks) in between the squares.

Tank advised that I get rid of them so I did that in the red and black one. I was just wondering which looks bette.

I. L. C. (I Like Cracks :p )

Tank · 28-01-2003, 10:05 AM

I will disagree with myself and say stick with black and white

and no cracks is my vote

DigiMatt · 28-01-2003, 11:03 AM

I would go for b/w squares and no cracks.

Kvaalen · 28-01-2003, 03:28 PM

I guess the most of you say no cracks, and black and white.
So that is what it'll be.

BTW, I uploaded the wood texture for you guys.

RiGLEY · 30-01-2003, 11:17 AM

Looking cool, but its a bit too flat , and you should dirty up the Squares a bit.

Kvaalen · 30-01-2003, 02:42 PM

I agree the squares need dirtying up, but what do you mean by to flat?

RiGLEY · 30-01-2003, 02:59 PM

I mean you should model the chessboard, it seems , that its just a textured box. For example make some height-difference between the black-white and the wood area... or if you are crazy with lots of free time

, model each square separately, and place them manually, it should give it a realistic feel. And you should change the lightning, i really miss the shadows. And for example a little DoF will be great !
But it is for a model-competition, so these things are not really necessary...

Kvaalen · 30-01-2003, 03:56 PM

Oh, I see.
If you look at the earlier wips you'll see the there was detail between the squares, but people prefered it without.
About the shadows and DOF, I'll put them once it is nolonger a wip.
