Technical Quality (80 possible points)

Poor Animation: Does videography enhance the project? Does the 2 shot enhance the scene? Does the camera angle provide an opportunity to clearly see all the pieces? Lighting: Are proper and expected lighting techniques use? Modeling/objects: Are the modeling techniques used appropriate and do they add to the scene? How simple or complex objects? Knight King Materials: Do they complement each other? Accuracy: Are the pieces placed on the board accurately?

Comments:

ASSIGNMENT You will be creating a chess set with a board and all the pieces on top of it. You may make copies of the pieces instead of making multiple, unique pieces. Materials should be added to everything in the scene. Consider

unique environments, rather than inside on a standard table (though, this is okay if you sufficiently model it). The layout of a chessboard looks like this:

Reference the artist Beau Tudzarov and site inspiration from his body of work. You will be creating a series of 3 still images and a final animation for this project. The project will be due on November 19th. There are a few ways you can make your chess set pieces: 1. Bevel + Extrude (Edit Poly) 2. Lathe 3. Mesh (Knight)
