It took a while to create the piece in Maya and getting it to work.
This is what I did in Maya to remind myself:
The first test I cancelled because the machine was missing the right leg completely.
I went back into Maya to put geometry right up to the leg with no gaps.
But it doesn't seem to want to make the edges very smooth.
Honestly I think this whole process was more hassle than what it's worth. I was happy with my pieces before and I think they'll work just fine.
I'm not sure about the scale. It is nice to have them to scale but I think the pieces might be a bit big for a board game.
Update:
I had some pretty positive responses from peers about the unique shaped piece. So I'm undecided to what I want to do :/
