3D Chess Sets #577

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
I don't know how much of a demand there will be for 3D chess sets on FICS in 
the future, but it *could* be done in Raptor.

I would suggest doing 3D Chessmaster 8000 style, because it is light on 
resources. The perspective board is divided into 32, two-square sections (a1 
and b1 would be one section for example). Each of those 32 sections would have 
a slightly different piece graphic, giving the illusion of three dimensions. 
The set might have to be optimized on the end-user's computer otherwise it 
would take up the space of 32 sets on google.

Attached is a screen capture video of a chess set in Chessmaster 8000. I myself 
don't really care that much for 3D chess sets but I thought it might be good to 
point out that it *could* be done. Chessmaster 8000's graphics are a bit 
old-school, but try to imagine it with Raptor's crystal-clear chess pieces.

Sincerely, StrategyMaster.

Sorry, I got a little carried away here. The truth is I have no experience or 
knowledge in 3D rendering and development. In actuality I have no idea how 
feasible it actually is. I regret making it sound like I knew what I was 
talking about.

It is also possitble to get true 3d pieces and board using Java3d for example. 
There is already exists chess program http://jose-chess.sourceforge.net/ that 
implements 3d board. But this is really much work actually.

swt also supports opengl so you could use that as well. But I agree it would 
take some work.
