Hello! This is the accompanying README text for the rook task.


HOW TO SETUP
------------
Open mged, then:
draw render.c for the objects in rookrender.PNG
or
draw rook.r for the rook only.

THE .g FILE
------------
The database contains two notable combinations/regions -- render.c and rook.r.

rook.r contains only the rook
render.c includes rook.r and additionally a shape named tile.s. tile.s is a 57mm x 57mm square, that is slightly extruded. It is a visual reference to the standard chessboard square as specified in the task description.


HOW I MADE THIS MODEL
---------------------
I followed through the MGED tutorial, and then decided to do this task. I used rookreference.jpg as a reference image to model this.

WHY I MADE THE MODEL THE WAY I DID
----------------------------------
The design is largely from the reference image, with a few tweaks here and there.
