Modeling a Chess Set That Works in 2D and 3D

In this video we'll explore an idea I've had for a while: A chess set that will work in 2D and 3D at the same time! We'll use the boolean modifier to intersect two different chess designs, and merge the two designs using forced perspective.

Thank you so much for all the kind comments on this video. I'm so glad you liked it! So here are some good news: Since the 2D chess elements used in this chess set are licensed under GPL 3.0, I have to release my 3D model under that same license. You can download the project file here (free download, no login required): patreon.com/posts/59047159 (This means if you use this design, you have to license it under GPL 3.0 too!) Thanks for watching!

if you wanted to make this physical you could have glass holding the floating pieces and making a better horseshape without compromising the illusion, for example the horse with a cut off nose, you could have a glass piece completing his nose and it wouldn't interfere with the illusion. or you could've made a set where the negative space (the cut parts) were glass, so you'd retain the physical shape of the initial meshes but keep the illusion (the illusion might not look perfect) but you'd at least keep the ergonomic shapes. another cool idea could be to make the cut parts glass, the and remainder parts a glow in the dark material thingy, could look cool. This was quite the 5head idea tbh, really nice video and you made the the sculpting look so darn easy, feels like you know the program in and out

@Zack_Zander 2 жыл бұрын

Speaking about glass, although this is most likely going to be too difficult, I would like to see the entire piece where the empty spaces is glass while the fill piece is the actual piece.

Because of how these were made they fill each others missing parts so in theory you could just slot these together for either easy cleanup or if you want a full black set. If you also have just like a thin transparent base so all of the piece is connected I think that this could actually be a really widely used chess set.

Can't really slot them together. They still share the same exterior outline (which is why all the Bishops and Kings have the same circles on top). What would be cool is to fill the bases with acryllic. Stays transparent from above AND gives the pieces weight at the base for that satisfying feel when moving them.

Amazing! I love it so much! What I would say, though, is that some of those pieces need those 'floating' parts to be recognisable in 3D, specifically the White Knight and the Kings. If you could find a way to join those pieces to the main model without breaking the visual accuracy of the 2D image, it would work so well

I cant express on how much this is so cool and amazing, im an artist but because of those kinds of videos where its so creative and its so wonderful and amazing, it makes me want to try 3D modeling at some point because its so astounding on what you can do with just a simple concept and how you can make it better

honestly, this. was. perfect. everything about this was amazing. and I wish I have owned a 3d printer to print this out, it looks so beautiful!

You can also use (shift r) to repeat an action in blender, instead of duplicating the pawn lots of times. That way it can be precise.

(Suri Studio) He knows that better than you! He used shift R in one of his previous videos!

@Ghudush 2 жыл бұрын

no you are wrong, to use shift r you need to know exact value of transform. in here it was easier to move it by hand

i literally watched the final results like 10 times and still in awe. that is sooooo awesomeeee. definetely gonna make it and btw how does that transition work i mean from white background to the room

@TKYTuwu 2 жыл бұрын

I'm guessing the white background (which is really the table) just slowly fades into the tables texture, the rest of the room comes into view while this is happening.

This is the way I need to be using blender. Maybe it's because I am more CAD oriented (Solidworks and Fusion 360), but the speed with which he models these pieces is mind blowing to me.

When I was playing chess as a kid I always remembered that line: "The queen is defending her color" it should help

@lost_gold 2 жыл бұрын

For me it was "The queen is camouflaging." Keeps it easy.

lmao I remember it as "queen same color"

Looking back it's pretty bad but I learned it as the queen is selfish and wants her color

Try adding like little un-noticeable strips to hold the floating pieces, and then 3D print them

Hi, it's been great binging all your tutorials after every new video Also, I have a suggestion at 17:17 instead of deleting the loose pieces, how about joining them with planes perpendicular to the 2D plane, that way it will get connected, without being noticable in 2D

@heliodorespecht6083 2 жыл бұрын

doing this without floating pieces would be an interesting challenge and could make a nice opportunity to make the chess set 3D printable
