Remember the original Star Wars when they were playing chess. How complex is it to have something similar i.e. A grid Bunch of objects with positions Feed into the software movements from (x1,y1) to (x2,y2). Perhaps have some animation where an object moves from one position to another Can three…

[image] Robert_D: Can threejs do all that? Yes, it can. [image] Robert_D: Is it easy, ignoring the time it would take to create the models which might be very simple or look very good. Depends on your skill level. You should start reading some of the links on this page to get acquaint…

@marquizzo Kasparov vs Deep Blue. One of the games that ended in a draw (can’t remember which one). :slight_smile:

Looks amazing, very impressive. Was a it small thing to let someone move the camera around while the moves were going on ?

@Robert_D camera movement is simply cos and sin functions for x and z coordinates. camera.position.x = Math.cos( rotate ) * 200; camera.position.y = 75; camera.position.z = Math.sin( rotate ) * 200; camera.lookAt( scene.position );

[image] prisoner849: Two or three evenings (made it several years ago). Chess The time applies to a fast coder like @prisoner849 . I myself would have to multiply the time by a larger number! :confused: It also depends on how much practice you have with three.js. To get started: 📕 three.j…

How did you build the pieces? I need a chess knight for part of a university project, but just don’t know how to do it.

checkout splinetool which is easier to handle than blender. otherwise im sure you find tons and tons of models either paid for or free on sketchfab blendermarket and so on. Sketchfab Use Sketchfab to publish, share and embed interactive 3D files. Discover and download thousands of 3D m…

You can combine two geometries into one group: three.js docs . The base as LatheGeometry: three.js docs and then ExtrudeGeometry: three.js docs see Shapes [2022-07-07 20.25.29] from the Collection of examples from discourse.threejs.org

Most of them are LatheGeometry. The knights, built with LatherGeometry (bottom) and ExtrudeGeometry (top).
