Chessboard
The construction of a chessboard.
An example for the using of the "checker" pattern.
Objects: "box".
Methods: "#declare", "union", "checker" pattern.
|
|
We built the chessbord in a size of +/-1 POV-Ray units.
You can scale it with "scale 0.5" to 1 units width or whatever you need.
We start with a thin box and a checker patter in black and white:
box {<-1.00,0.01,-1.00>,<1.00,0.05,1.00>
texture{ pigment{ checker
color rgb<1,1,1>
color rgb<0,0,0>}
} // end of texture
} // end of box ----------------------
|
|
|
Then we scale the pattern down to get 8x8 fields:
box {<-1.00,0.01,-1.00>,<1.00,0.05,1.00>
texture{ pigment{ checker
color rgb<1,1,1>
color rgb<0,0,0>}
scale 0.25*4
} // end of texture
} // end of box ----------------------
|
|
|
Then we take a brown flat box a little bit more width and
a little bit more flat for a base:
box {<-1.01,0.00,-1.01>,<1.01,0.049,1.01>
texture{
pigment{
color rgb<0.75,0.5,0.3>*0.5}
scale 0.25*4
} // end of texture
} // end of box ----------------------
|
|
|
At least we have to put both together by a "union"
and define a new object by "#declare ":
#declare Chessboard =
union{
box {<-1.01,0.00,-1.01>,<1.01,0.049,1.01>
texture{
pigment{
color rgb<0.75,0.5,0.30>*0.5}
} // end of texture
} // end of box ----------------------
box {<-1.00,0.00,-1.00>,<1.00,0.050,1.00>
texture{
pigment{ checker
color rgb<1,1,1>
color rgb<0,0,0>
} // end pigment
scale 0.25
} // end of texture
} // end of box ----------------------
} // ---------------- end union Chessbord
// using:
//------------------------------
object{ Chessboard
translate<1,0,1>
scale 1
rotate<0,0,0>
} // ------------------
//------------------------------- |
