Annndd finished! After posting the initial render, I went back and made higher resolution versions of all the chess pieces. Afterward, I created a glass material and colored the pieces amber and silver. I really love this came out!
Here was the tutorial for creating glass in Blender Render: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VF-oH3EowSs
And I’ll also share the material I created here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1ELQFrqrDNF-1y6AQRkrqENU6XPstW9nJ/edit
When appending to your Blender Scene, open the Materials folder and you’ll find them inside.
