My attempt at a realistic chess set

Early on, Mike mentioned that we could attempt a high-poly, photorealistic chess set if we were so inclined. So that’s what I did! The bishop and knight aren’t exactly how I wanted them to look, but other than that, I’m quite happy with how it turned out!

Edit: Adding the wireframe version, just for fun:

Very nicely done! Setting it up to look like the whole scene is outdoors is a nice touch, especially the lighting you used, as the board and pieces look as if they’re lit by sunshine. :slight_smile:
