Yeah they look good. You just need a good wood texture for the board.

they seem pretty hi poly at the moment. what are the counts?
especially seeing how theres
16 pawns
4 knights
4 bishops
4 rooks
2 queen
2 king

on the entire board at all times the fps in game may very well suffer.

The models do look like they may be too detailed, but it is chess. I doubt a framerate above something as low as 30 even would be hard to work around. And they do look quite good, but maybe you could try reducing the poly count and looking for a shader to that makes up for it.

Well not much affecting the game speed, since i just load 6 pieces and make clones, it's like 10 second loading only, and remember its a chess game, if i wont put detail in the pieces where would i put them? xD

( side question: how can i view the number of poly's of an object? ( using 3ds max ) )

woa! thanks alot!

polys:
King: 3.6k
Bishop: 4k
Queen: 5k
Pawn: 6.6k
Tower: 1.5k
knight: 2.5k

i was shocked when i saw the pawn's poly count, and it looks really bad,i think i'll remake it. ( the Queen's poly count is acceptable as it looks nice )

EDIT: remade it:




better look, much less poly, only 2.6k

TURBOSMOOTH: a modifier that is used to multiply your poly count by 10-100.

actually it times it by 4

just make sure that you account for all the calculations your game might do(animation,displaying 3d,special effects,and .etc)
but if all the computers the game will run on, run at a good fps then by all means. Its just good practice to not use polies that arent really adding to detail.


for example the sphere has 32 segments by default that counts around 900ish polies just for the sphere. just my 2cents though

good job and good luck. Keep it up

that is not a sphere for the pawn, i made it myself xD

and well, i tried running the game on a fail computer, ( dont even know it's graphics card ) and it was pretty fast, so yeah, i think thats not too much as those are the only things displayed in the game

EDIT: @ times it by four, i made a model which had 250~ polys before turbosmooth, went to 2050~ after it, like x8

hmm interesting because a 2 poly object becomes a 8 poly object and a 8 poly object became a 32 poly object. but your right a 250 poly object became a 2000 poly object. hmmm?


well anyways like I said if it works fast then the meshes are optimized enough.

Well if it works fast on his Pc doesnt mean it will work fast on others. Kind of like it happened to me. I made a game and it worked fast and smooth on My Pc and when i tried it on Other peoples Pc it was frkn Slow. like 100 times slower than it was on mine. I was like . So you should make sure that the program runs smoothly on low end hardware or something. =] Looks Good! Keep it up.

If you want something, You'll find a way; If you don't, you'll find an excuse.

Looks nice. The chess pieces would look great with Tron shading textures. Make the whole thing look like Tron.
