From PGN data to a Fusion 3D scene
ChessInFusion is a research and development project created by Luca Giussani · DCVisuals. Its goal is to convert chess-game data into piece moves, captures, positions and 3D sequences that can be used directly in Fusion.

What the prototype explores
Fusion 3D
Chessboard, pieces, Merge3D, Renderer3D, cameras and lighting inside a Fusion composition.
Controllers
Drive pieces and parameters through centralized controls.
Expressions & scripting
Use expressions, Lua and Python to reduce repetitive manual work.
3D assets
Experiments with USD / FBX models and different chessboard representations.
Evolving workflow
Long-term goal: choose a PGN, piece set and environment, then generate the sequence more directly.

Video demonstration
The demonstration shows the R&D approach, the Fusion 3D scene and the first animation tools developed around ChessInFusion.
Prototype
Project status
ChessInFusion is currently an R&D prototype. It is not yet a finished product distributed as a ready-to-use application. Architecture, automation, usability and packaging are still evolving.
