Introducing Schachbier (…)

I like cylinders just as much as I love spheres, and the fictional beverage saga continues.

The project (envisioned at 12:08am and completed at 1:53am) is inspired by the following meme image, where each xiangqi / Chinese chess piece were tied to beer cans and the two “king” pieces are tied to Cephalosporin medications (can trigger lethal reactions if taken with alcohol). Anyway I gave it my own twist.

This first version … I couldn’t quite decide how to distinguish the two colours. The “black” cans, at least in the internal programming in the Blender file, actually are the ones with white pieces drawn on them…
