Description

This started as a test, hence the smallish size. I created the chess set ages ago with Bryce primitives(there's a version in my gallery), and while happy with the render, I wanted to try and create a more photorealistic render. So here it is. lit just with sunlight through a 100% transparent fake HDRI sphere. THe sun is lined up with the window in the photo and I've set the transparent map to be the same image. Rendered with high DOF and True Ambience. Took all day today and about 4 hours of yeserday to render. Might set it running on a full size version. (If I can be bothered) Thanks for looking. Hope I at least achieved a little photorealism.

Meant to mention this. No post at all. Just a slight crop, but that's all, nada, zip, nothing, zilch.

I think this is one of if not the most realistic render I've seen on Renderosity in the many months I've been here... V

Looks good! Nice models. What caught my eye is the board...it's not checkered...and I like it like that!
