About done with the first pawn (unless someone points out something about it). The poly count is at 1098. It's weird working on something unsymmetrical, I keep taking it the cautious way, but then it doesn't look right. I'm not going to get too worried about the seams, just gonna hope that texturing covers it up a bit. user added image

Got a friend coming over tonight, but I'm gonna try to finish the other 2 (or just 1) before the night ends.

Though I have to be honest (and I think your know this) but the model is pretty sloppy. I mean no offense, but allot of the edges aren't straight, and your have tons of creases running up the model. Now like you said your not really bothered by it, so it doesn't matter.

Anyway, Looking forward to seeing the other pieces.

Good luck, and have fun user added image

Still, there was supposed to be a couple more details, but there's no way I can do them without ZB. user added image

Finished with the 3 pawns. Together, their total poly count is 3224. I think I might start working on the rooks (gonna make 2 different versions) tonight, as they should be very easy.

you didn't actually take the time to model all three of those, did you? i'd think taking one, duplicating it, and then manipulating them using a lattice would be the best way to do it.

Accept no substitutions.

Finished with the rook. I was looking at a couple of them, and they look exactly the same, so I'm just gonna stick with one model for now. The poly count for this one is 656.

I've got 2 weeks left with the modeling part of this project and Brawl comes out this Sunday, so I will most likely extend the deadline. user added image

I thought that the knight was going to be a lot harder, but I got it finished tonight. The poly count is at 1039.

The bishop, queen, and king are basically big pawns with some adjustments, so they shouldn't be too hard.

Seems like I'm going to finish this one early, so I'm thinking of modeling a chess table and a pair of chairs.

Sorry for the extremely slow update. Brawl is amazing and has been keeping me very busy. Finished off all the pieces in the last couple of days. The poly count on the bishop is at 1104, the queen is at 1726, and the king is at 1394.

Need to get this finished on Friday. I sure hope that a table and chairs aren't that hard. user added image

Looking pretty good.

Do the actual pieces have the edges in the up right areas (not the edges but the bits invbetween (hope that makes sense!)

Could you circle that part in something like PS for me?

Yeah, those are supposed to be there. I'm not too worried, as the texture should hide them, anyway.
