Downloadable 3D chessboard for Chessbase

Hello,

I find that 3D chessboard are nice in Chessbase 12 and 13 (not in lichess, I have already posted that some time ago; this is interesting because I think this is the only area where lichess is lagging!) but they could be better as when I use them I do not feel like in front of a real chessboard, in particular the king has no cross which makes it difficult to differentiate with the queen.

So I am asking: do you know if there are "serious" 3D chessboard downloadable somewhere for Chessbase 12 or 13? (not 14 because with they don't work with this version)?

Thanks.
Thanks, but this is for lichess, no? and I tried it but it is still very far away from what is done on chess.com (the beta 3D chessboard) and on Chessbase (12, 13, 14): the quality is poor.

Maybe I am the only one interested to play with a "real" chessboard...
I thought lichess had really good 3d boards? They're the best I've seen, or up there. They not your favorite pieces?
To be clear, my message is about playing seriously with 3D chessboard (not at all for fun).

OK, lichess proposes 2D chessboard with 3D-like pieces but these pieces are not too ugly and not usable for a strong player: lichess is not serious in these 3D piece setups, they are for fun (As Botvinnik said: "I don't play chess for fun").

But I want to play with 3D chessboard online because I want to improve my REAL game, not my OTB game. So I am looking for SERIOUS 3D chessboards.

The add-on proposed by lovlas hereabove gives some extra pieces, but there is only one which is really useful (on the right-below), the other ones are ugly and badly designed for a strong player because too far away for reality.

=> So lichess with this add-on stylish is OK for 1 piece setup only. It could be improved because black pieces are too dark I find. If this black pieces could be put less dark, then yes this setup is seriously satisfying using lichess (but lichess should put it in his site, not with this add-on).

All in all, lichess is lagging as in other sites/softwares (chess.com, Chessbase, Fritz), real 3D chessboard are proposed and they are nice. So it is a pity lichess doesn't develop them, but as said above, it is no more critical with this stylish add-on...
I feel you, that's exactly what I want. I don't know any board though :/
Thank you. So we are at least 2 of being interested by this feature in the world, this is great! (;-)
