The piece-creator tool now produces reasobly good results. I created a number of pieces: Wizard, Champion, Gold & Silver General, Scout and Berolina Pawn:

The tool takes a list of measures, like this:

16
0.000 0.720
0.075 0.755
0.211 0.660
0.337 0.710
0.705 0.521
0.992 0.342
1.571 0.241
1.620 0.413
1.750 0.264
1.830 0.348
1.955 0.420
2.115 0.450
2.273 0.420
2.400 0.348
2.433 0.310
2.440 0.480: 0.75 0.165
2.520 0.320
2.710 0.360
2.711 0
out: gold
ridge: 0.700 -0.08 0.10
ridge: 0.800 -0.08 0.05
ridge: 0.384 0.15 -0.08
ridge: 0.384 -0.15 -0.108

and then produces the mesh file and the diffuse and normal maps. The diffusemap looks like this:

It can be post-edited, like I did here to paint the cap's overhang black, and inscribe a star on the top of it. The red/green markers indicate the various sections of the piece.

I replaced the Staunton set in the Jocly on my website by this. (But you might not be able to see it without directly refreshing all the /res/staunton/*/* files in the dist tree to flush the ordinary staunton pieces from the cache.)
