Fancy a Game of Chess [Commercial]

After being developed, tweaked, buried, resurrected, for over 12 months, I'm pleased to finally announce that it is in the store!

http://www.daz3d.com/new-releases/fancy-a-game-of-chess

It all started by getting together with Wee Dangerous John, and talking about chess. One conversation led to another, and this mega set was born. You get a lot for your money. Rather than list them all again, please have a look at the product page. For some reason the product page doesn't list the following morphs:

Arm Chair - Cushion: Sit, Left Arm and Right Arm: Crease.
Chess Table - Open Drawer.
Chess Clock - Pressable buttons (DUF only).

Khory then also got on board, and created these magnificent Shaders:

The Glass set in that product is a standalone chess board with pieces. And if that isn't enough, Khory also created poses:

Maybe in a few weeks time, I'll start a competition for the best Chess renders :)

    The product page doesn't state so are the shaders for http://www.daz3d.com/new-releases/glass-gambit-chess-set-and-shader-presets-for-daz-studio Shader Mixer or just the DS default shader?

    Oh and I could have done with the timer a few weeks ago and couldn't find a good one. The set looks good.

    Shaders presets use the ubershader. I really wanted them to be as easy to use and as fool proof as possible. There is also a PDF to help people get the best results with them because I know that many people struggle getting a decent render with glass.

    Thx Khory, Uber Surface is just fine for me thank you. Good to see more people making use of it.

    I really love the ubersurface. For one thing I think it is easier for users to learn from and grow with than shader mixer or even the new SSS shader.

    I agree it is often over looked and misunderstood.

    Something I want to highlight for Doc is the morphs in the chair. The seat morph is particularly handy.

    The chess set is gorgeous and takes other shaders nicely as well. It looks classy and you guys did a great job! :)
