1. Final Exam
Chess Game

2. We will create a simple scene consisting of a chessboard, a few pawns and a few move of the chess games.
Creating a pawn
To create the pawn you need to use a technique called 'Spinning'. You will only need to draw an outline of the pawn Using Bezier Curve and use the Spinning technique to make the pawn.
Front View

3. Now switch to object mode and go to the side view
If the curve is not straight as shown in the next slide rotate it to look like what is shown in the picture.
Convert the curve to mesh
Move the center of the curve to be in the middle if it is not there already.
Side View

4. Move to edit mode and in the” Mesh tool” of the Editing Panel (F9) under Spin set Degr to 360 and steps to 21
This value determines the resolution of the resulting object
higher values increase the smoothness.

5. Now select all vertices
Locate the 3D courser at the left side of
pawn
Switch to the top view (you should see the object on top view similar to the picture)
Now Press the 'Spin' button.
LMB click anywhere in the Top View and Blender will “Spin” the vertices creating
The curve has been extruded and rotated, leaving behind a complete pawn as you see in the picture

6. select all vertices, press [W] to bring up the Specials menu, use the 'Remove Doubles' option to weld the double vertices together
After performing this operation, Blender reports on the amount of vertices that have been deleted. Just confirm it.
Click on 'Set smooth‘
Create a duplicate of the pawn
Make one copy black and the other copy white
Make 7 copies of the black and another 7 copies of the white
You should now have total of 8 pieces of black and 8 pieces of white

7. Creating the Chessboard
Front view
Top view

8. Before you give it any color, move to object mode and make a complete duplicate of the board
Now make the first copy red and the other one white or glassy white and put them on top of each other.
join them into one piece
white
Red

9. Placing the Pawns on the Board
Add a camera and make the camera to track the board to be able to see the board and pieces in camera view
Before we start playing chess, this is how the board should look like in all views
Side view
Camera view
Top view
Front view

Start from frame 1 and in the top view,
press A to select everything
press the I in the keyboard
select “LocRotScale” to set the starting keyframe

11. Animation sequences
Move to frame 10 and move the third black piece from the right two squares up as shown in the pictures on the right and record
Move back to frame 1, and move the black piece back to its original position, if it is not there already

12. Move to frame 20 and move the third white piece from the right two squares up as shown in the pictures.
Move back to frame 10, move the white piece back to its original position, if it is not there already

Move back to frame 20, move the black piece back to its original position, if it is not there already

14. Move to frame 40 and move the fourth white piece from the right one square up as shown in the pictures.
Move back to frame 30, move the white piece back to its original position, if it is not there already

15. Attacking time
Move to frame 50 and move the black piece on the top of the white as shown in the picture
Move back to frame 40, move the black piece back to its original position, if it is not there already

16. Move to frame 60 and move the attached white piece out of the game as shown in the picture
Move back to frame 50, move the white piece back to its original position, if it is not there already

17. White wants to revenge. So move to frame 70 and move the white piece on the top of the black piece as shown in the picture
Move back to frame 60, move the white piece back to its original position, if it is not there already

18. Move to frame 80 and move the attached black piece out of the game as shown in the picture
Move back to frame 70, move the black piece back to its original position, if it is not there already
You Are done. Now you can test your animation.
