cool thanx, just a simple 1.5 language puter user here.

I did notice first board I posted was repeating texture, fixed it like this:



#macro board_sq(p)
     object { Round_Box_Union(<-1.01,-0.01,-1.01>, < 0.01,-.25,0.01>, .01)
      translate p }
#end
#macro boardwhite()
   #local i=0;#local j=0;
   #while (i<8)
      #local j=0;
      #while (j<8)
         #if (mod(i+j,2)) board_sq(<-3+j,0,-3+i>) #end
         #local j=j+1;
      #end
   #local i=i+1;
   #end
#end

#macro boardblack()
   #local i=0;#local j=0;
   #while (i<8)
      #local j=0;
      #while (j<8)
         #if (!mod(i+j,2)) board_sq(<-3+j,0,-3+i>) #end
         #local j=j+1;
      #end
   #local i=i+1;
   #end
#end
union {
  boardwhite()
  texture { lightwood }
}
union {
  boardblack()
  texture { darkwood }
}

no pic, waiting for a better one @ adaptive 0 but looks like adaptive 50
