From Game Modding to 3D-Printed Chess Pieces with RTX Spark

I trace how an early interest in customizing PCs and modifying games grew into creative work with 3D modeling and printing. Using a family chess set as an example, I describe how RTX Spark fits into a workflow involving image-to-mesh conversion, Blender, and a 3D printer.

- Early creative projects: PC customization, game modding, and making textures
- Family chess set project: recreating missing pieces with 3D models and prints
- RTX Spark workflow: running ComfyUI alongside Blender and connecting to a 3D printer

For viewers interested in digital making, 3D modeling, or practical creative workflows, this offers a personal example of how a project can connect childhood interests with current work. Consider exploring an image-to-3D workflow for a project of your own; the discussion focuses on this use case rather than providing a step-by-step technical tutorial.
