This is my mandatory chess scene I made 4 years ago,
one of my first real scenes.  It has never been shown
on the Internet.  It contains the even more mandatory
reflective spheres, and a re-made lighting (my computer
at the time didn't really allowed me area lights).

Cheers,
Fabien.

I must say that I think this is one of the more interesting ideas in the
chess-set creation history. I like it.

This is truly great (okay, stop me before I go overboard).
A date with one of the queens, or both of them, would be especially
nice.
First character chess set I've seen I believe.

I don't really want to comment on the settings - a chess-set is not a very
original theme and there's supposed to be a background every time. The one thing
that I did want to say is that these are the best chess-pieces I've seen sofar.
Perhaps you could change some things in the size of the different pieces in
relation to each other. The pawns look very thin, the rooks perhaps a teensy bit
too small and the feet of the figures should give them a bit more support. Even
then, I like this set very much (matter of taste of course).

Truly a unique take on an overtroden field :) Inspiration that no theme
is truly dead ;) Well done!

Great chess set (especially the rooks)!!!  My only complaint is that the
board position isn't realistic.  It seems that the only moves black has made
are pawn moves.
