Chess Set Project, From Start to Finish Design Phase: More detailed in previous blog posts. I wanted to create a chess set that was reminiscent of the classic design with some more interesting details. The goal was to have something instantly recognizable that had my own spin thrown in. For the board I decided to lean into the idea of games and activities that families may partake in together, the struggle was to find a idea that also used the idea of square; eventually my mind came up with the idea of a puzzle and the concept for the board was there. 3D Modelling Process: Detailed description of each step in previous blog posts! Creating the board: Detailed process in previous blog post! Renders: Detailed process in previous blog posts. Axometric Page: 3D print simulation: Final Products: After 3D printing the models, I painted them to match the board and brought everything into the photo documentation studio and took photos that capture the pieces in front view, side view and a few p...

 Step 17: Fixing Rook thickness I went back to make sure that the Rook would be able to be printed by selecting the base surface and extruding it 0.5mm and capping it. Step 18: basic board square curves I designed the curves for a simple puzzle piece themed chess board square. I would refine this design as problems popped up until I had a design that would easily fit together when 3d printed. step 19: basic board square surfaces I created a surface from the curves extruded it to give it thickness, and capped it. Step 20 and 21: I then copied the squares to create the proper board size, and sorted the squares into 2 separate layers to make assigning materials simple. Step 22 and 23: Creating the corner pieces of the border I designed the curves of the edge pieces so that they would fit properly around the board pieces, made and extruded surfaces and capped them. This took the longest as each corner is unique. step 24 to step 26: Creating the edge pieces, surfaces and assigning board...
