This section was really cool. I feel like I learned a lot. Below you can find my chess pieces and final renders. The last 4 renders display a famous game between Garry Kasparov and Veselin Topalov.

Textures
I changed the texture of the chessboard. I initially went with adding a texture per square and duplicating that to all squares of the same colour and keeping the rosewood texture around that, like we did in the lecture. However, I found the squares to be quite repetitive, so I made the whole playing field from one piece of wood and changed the squares’ colour in GIMP. This way uses more memory for rendering and in game, but on the upside: there’s no texture repetition between all squares from the same colour, as the grooves carry on from one square to the next.
The wooden pieces use a seamless texture with settings “generated” and “tube” for mapping coordinates.
