TITLE: dw_check COUNTRY: USA WEBPAGE: RENDERER USED: POV-Ray for Windows version 3.6 TOOLS USED: MS Paint for book cover image-map bmp2jpg RENDER TIME: 20 Minutes HARDWARE USED: Pentium 4 IMAGE DESCRIPTION: The first thing I though of when I read the topic was how many times has someone used a checker piece for that missing pawn. Like most things missing, it is in plain view. DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED: I coded the entire image using scene code. 1st, I created the chess board and chess and checker sets. The one piece I would like to work on more is the knight. Many years ago, I had started working on the chess set, but lost the code, but it was quickly redone in a day. I next modeled the table, walls and floor. First I made a wooden tabletop and floor, but that was just too much wood and it looked like the light colored squares of the chessboard were clear and showed the table. I then changed the floor to look like an old school lunchroom floor and the table to have a marble top. Next, I modeled the bookshelf and created a macro to make a random stack of books to place in each shelf. After this, I created the two chairs and the fireplace and other odds and ends.
