Description
this is the first time in a warg'load of renders that i don't have to say "70-200 f/4L"! here's what i can say though:
3d'smacks 7 + vray!!

there's nothing really special about this one. it's just a remake of my first chess render, "It Has Begun" ( [link] ).
i just wanted to make more use of space so i added some useless blocks.
otherwise, it's the same exact render as the first. the pieces and their materials are the same, the board is the same (actually, it's a completely different map but it looks the same), the perspective is virtually the same.

so why would i bother making the same render again? i just felt the need to do some 3d stuff. with all of the photography lately, 3d rendering is really much lighter in terms of weight than lugging around my camera.

i'm pretty satisfied. given the little amount of work i put into this, i must be satisfied. next time, if there is a next time, i will try to add some color and a little bit of hdri. yes i know it has its flaws, like the knight or the relative size, but it's the same render as the last one. nothing has changed! perhaps next time, again if there is a next time, i'll refine the modeling a bit more. maybe even add textures.

don't expect renders in the future. this was just something that i was missing. my passion lies with glass! real glass of course, UD and CaF2 glass, not fake 3d computer generated glass.

render time: less than one hour
