Back in highschool, this piece was by far my favorite. While today I look at it and could tear apart the lack of materials, bad foliage, weird lighting techniques, etc. this piece will always have a spot in my heart as a favorite.
Chess Set!
The very first chess set I ever rendered was one that I made in an engineering class. The class had us model chess sets using fasteners and bolts in Autodesk Inventor. I exported the assets as STL's, imported them into 3DS Max, and made this render. Unfortunately, past me didn't know that queens face queens and kings face kings!
