GAME THEORY - A Blender Student Animation

Well here it is, my first collaborative project.

It's a short student project inspired by the infamous 1997 Game Six between Kasparov and IBM's Deep Blue. Chess experts out there should recognize the moves played in this game.

Took a bit of artistic licence and decided to call the game two moves before the end.

This project was challenging because it was my first time to work with a team mate and we set ourselves a deadline for New Year's Day. Looks like we barely made it!

We had to do some compromises to get to the end, and frankly I kind of regret jumping straight into this without studying Normal Maps, Displacement Mapping, and Hi-Res Sculpting.

Well, all in good time.
Hope you all find something to enjoy in this short subject.

The government probably has a computer/robot capable of this. Nice job on this. The computer/robot was kind of an ass YOU LOSE! But the guy was a sore loser, so, yeah. Funny he threw the chess piece, lol.

@SuperHappyFan Hey Thanks! It's really humbling this rush job finish still manages to have its fans. :) I don't know if it will surprise you but I'm not pro at all. Right now I'm really doing this as a hobby. Thanks again for commenting.

zero sum game...

@blazraidr Thanks. This really isn't the best I can produce and it's made me seek help in FX and lighting. Part of growing I believe is being able to see the limit. But there is also the discipline to work the deadline. And our personal deadline came up. So it's finished.

cool, but the overhead shot had too much white and it was blown out. good job though
