Flipping the board

A chessboard is flipped over, sending the pieces flying. A cup tips over in the background. A lit cigarette is resting in an ashtray. The camera focuses on the white queen with a low depth-of-field. The objects use mostly diffuse materials while the board, the ashtray, the cigeratte and the table have textures. Parts of the ashtray and board use mirror materials, while the cup uses a dielectric. The fluid in the cup is a mesh created from a fluid simulation in Blender.
