Thank you very much for visiting.

Since I am attempting to assemble a portfolio to show to potential employers, I was digging through my files and found this AutoCAD model that I had built after my initial Chess set. So, I quickly composed some scenery, lighting, and material effects and produced this rendering.

One of the significant drawing techniques demonstrated in this piece is the ARRAY command. The ARRAY command allows the user to create multiple instances of a piece of geometry. A rectangular array would create a grid of duplications based on a number of rows and columns as well as the desired offset. In this case, I used a polar array which created multiple instances of geometry around a common centerpoint.

This model is extremely complex, in fact too complex. I realize that no machine could reasonable replicate such details in real life. I might have saved file space had I saved a column of "bricks" as a BLOCK and created a polar array of that instead of merging all the geometry together into one mass.

Anyways, thank you for visiting.
