Hey Folks,

As part of my University course. One class we have to do is CGI Film-making. To pass this class what you have to do is create your own 3D animation on a subject of your choice.

What I've done is taken the idea of a game of chess being like a war between two rival factions. Good vs Evil, Light vs Dark. Of course it would be pretty boring just watching a game of chess in 3D. So what I'm aiming to do is make it a bit comical. For example I've given one of the pawns a baseball bat which he used to knock the round head off of one of the opposing pawns.

I'm going to be doing this in Maya as I think I'm more proficient in that than the package the University is using, Lightwave. (Eugh >)

I've already completed the board already and now its onto the peices.
