re : coup_royal_hr.jpg

My opinions :
The black counters need some work.  They definitely need some more 
"specular" in the texture.  The wood texture on the table needs to be scaled 
down and a normal added.  Otherwise great image, I absolutely love the white 
counters!  Something you might try is to recess the board and put a sheet of 
glass over it, so the counters rest on that.  Oh, and I love the way the 
reflections just appear on the white squares.

Don't checkerboards have eight squares per side, not ten?

Checkborards have 8.
But if you play spades, they have ten

French (i.e. international) draughts have ten ;-)

I'm currently building a wood box with a glass window on top, to try your
advice. See you maybe tomorrow.

That's what I get for learning on those cheap boxed sets that include 
plastic checkers and chess pieces all played on the same board!
