Digital Lighting and Compositing - Chessboard and Pieces

I've been fairly behind on posting work the last 6 months, but finally getting around to updating and compiling some of my half finished projects. This compositing project was originally created in 2018 as part of a class assessment, original chess piece models and holdout were created and rendered out in Maya 2018 using Renderman 21, and compositing completed in Nuke. I'd like to eventually come back to this an create an entire set. I think my favourite part of the project was defiantly getting the glass material as accurate as I could, I still didn't get the frosted glow quite correct but all in all I feel it came out quite well.
