If unusual pieces are required, I guess the only option is to create those yourself.

Since I don't know how to make 3D pieces, I can only use the ones others are making available. I just brought up some examples of other pieces it would be good to have 3D images of, and I used Cavalier Chess as a context for mentioning them.

I did make a dedicated Nightrider, as a Horse that seems to run rather than prance; it is also on a taller pedestal, and is available as fr-nightrider in the fairy-set-view.

I had a hard time telling it from Knights. I had to figure out which it was by clicking on pieces to see how they move.

That board also shows pieces fr-ferz-knight and fr-wazir-knight, where I made the shape of the pedestal indicate the enhancement. As these are diagonal and orthogonal enhancements, they could also be taken to hint at added Bishop and Rook motion. So you could use these instead of the Camaratta pieces.

I would rather not. The Camaratta pieces are easier to tell apart.
