I spent about 2 and half hours making this chess table. I saw somethin like it a few days back at starbucks and thought it was cool, so I made my own. It was hard makin cuz I had to invent a way to make a wood texture but I think it came out pretty well, surprisingly. So without further doodoo… ![](http://www.xxviii.net/disp/art/table.jpg) ---

This would really look good in Swift, you can do a great animation with this stuff, great work, the wood texture is very nice =) ---

I really wanna get swift… I want to get into 3D and that looks like a good place to start… when I find 100 bucks lyin around I should get it. If anyone wants to use this for a chess game in flash or something let me know :trout: haha, sorry, I’m really proud of this peice ---

I made the base color of the wood on a layer. Then I created another layer and fill the entire thing with a medium gray. I then applied a suitable amount of noise. Then I motion blurred it straight up at like 150 or so. Then I sheared it in a zig zag pattern. Then I sheared it with the zig zags going the opposite way. Then I selected the wood layer and inverted the selection and pressed delete. Then I set the grainy texture layer to hard light. I think thats it at least. Yeah, that should be it. I’m gonna write a tutorial on it and put it on my site eventually. ---

That is very good. 🙂 I was going to ask how you made the wood look, but got beaten to it. 🙂 ---

cool board, the would texture looks really nice indeed. i wonder how it would look if someone put it on a 3D table as a texture 🙂 ---

thanks electron :beam: i would have replied sooner, but I fainted Black\_Lightning… I have no idea how it would look, I don’t know how to do 3D-ness. If you wanna try it, go for it
