Project overview

This project for my Advanced 3D Modeling class uses the parametric modeling plugin Grasshopper inside of the CAD software Rhinoceros to make a chess set. A chess set poses the unique design challenge of having pieces look recognizable as the piece they're supposed to be, while still appearing to be a coherent set.
