I am convinced this work is cursed. On every attempt I run in to the strangest problems, all the save files for the previous version have either been lost or have become corrupted. Not to mention the ridiculous number of problems and errors I encountered along the way. Everything from texture files not being recognised, fatal errors while rendering, geometry just plain disappearing and of course Maya crashing without warning.

On the up side I did learn a lot, in particular, command line rendering, polygon reduction, some finer points of lighting with final gather and the exact breaking strain of my keyboard.

This work has become a kind of gauge, having to rebuild it so many times has severed to remind me just how far I’ve come.

Update: Colour and contrast ajustment.
One of my moniters is dying, everything comes up too bright and slightly wrong colour. I didn't realise this at the time.

Daily DeviationChess Globe v3 by ~evilhomer145 shows one of the most innovative 3d pictures i've seen in a long time. the quality in details and the love that went into this idea make it an outstanding and classic piece of the 3d gallery. (Suggested by `bluespeed9 and Featured by `tigaer)

you certainly have come a long way since the first one. i love the texture on the globe and all of the chess pieces. thinking about it, i wonder if something like this could actually be made. great work! :)

Take Zer0 - Everything you need to know before take one.
wow, just took a look at v1, and it seems you've made great improvements. I really like this, the textures and designs of the globe and chesspieces are very nice. I think I'll use it as my wall for awhile. ;) :+fav:

This is a huge leap over v2 and 1. I'm glad you perservered as the details in this are awesome.

It's looking more real than ever and the world map on the globe is a nice subtle touch.
