This is probably the most useless set of cards you will ever play with.It's a model I made in Maya for an assignment, which was to make something using simple shapes. A lot of the artists I follow on another website have ongoing projects of designing playing cards, so I decided to follow their lead and do some of my own. I only did the aces, however, because they are the most obvious cards in a deck.
The transparency was inspired by models I've seen around art websites that have dielectric materials. I really liked the look of it, so I wanted to try something with transparency myself. At the time, though, I had no idea what dielectric materials were, so I couldn't make the cards exactly as I wanted; I just messed with the transparency and hoped for the best. I'll probably go back at some point and change it, just to see how it looks.
I don't think that not knowing about that material hinders the model, though. As it is now, it has a an interesting texture and even some nice little reflections in it that I'm not sure I could manage as easily with a dielectric material. So I am satisfied with how it turned out, but I'm still open to experimenting with and improving it.
