The black pieces are supposed to be silver, and the white pieces are supposed to be frosted glass, but I can't quite get the glass right. Tell me what you think.

Very nice. very very nice.

To be overly critical, I thought the contrast on the furthest white horse slighly lost the differentiation of pieces over there (nose in front of rook, bishop's 'coller' in front of horse), and the near white bishop's head-slit could be emphisied a bit, but talk about nit picking eh? Oh, and the head's of the white pawns seem more like clear glass c.f. the major pieces which are more obviouslt frosted.

The black pieces in deep shadow are very cool: I like the idea of white in the light, balck in shadow as it is structured.

Looks pretty good, but you should soften the edges of the spotlight.

Wow, cheers everybody! 😀

I was thinking of softening the edges of the spotlight, but I want to make the light seem obvious, as Toe said, the white in light, the black in dark... with the softened edges it just looks, well... not the same 😉

Oh, and kw72uk, have it! Art's for sharing not for copyrighting.

Thanks Dreamlax.

Your chess set would obviously cost a fair bit to make.

Does anyone know what the most expensive chess set in the world is? I don't but I'd be interested to know....

I've seen some amazing looking chess sets up in the thousands of dollars (US).

Plus, well, those HUGE sets at www.megachess.com are kind of pricey.
(edited to add - I have no affiliation with the MegaChess site, I just love their giant pieces)

Yeah, well, the black pieces would be the most expensive part. I already have a set of frosted glass pieces, I think. My brother has a set of abstract pieces, which look nothing like chess pieces at all. Whenever I use them I have to say which one is the queen and which one is the king.

I can't say I'm a big fan of novelty chess sets. I often forget what peices are what (unless it's well designed).

As others have said, nice work Dreamer!

If you ever to frost and glass this 'image' you should save this one out also... just incase it is better looking.

I like it!

I can re-render the whole thing in any resolution you want. Different angles, hell, if you want the Kings Gambit I can do that too!

Now taking requests 😛

Take the English out about 4 or 6 moves... I would like that background.

Tweek the lighting cool, and give me a nice angle.

Thanks.
