The one ring, my second one

[NemesisFIN]

Any c&c?

[Entangle]

bit small aint it?

[NemesisFIN]

Is't? I'm not sure.

[Commander Falk]

Maybe the pic is too small, but the ring is too big, or the ground is too small :p

[Tommi]

Yep, the relation between ground texture and ring object is not right. It looks like a giant ring.
I think, too, that the ring is too tall, but I do not know the original. I like it's surface though. Maybe you could add some caustics... would look cool

[NemesisFIN]

OK... thanks everybody... There is caustic, but some reasong it doesn't exist...

[NemesisFIN]

Here it is update:

It is now beter? Yes i know wood is too bumpy and image is crispy ( Antialising is low, reduce render time) still it takes hours to render with P3 450 mhz...

[Entangle]

I meant the image. The ring still looks big compared to the floorboards.

[NemesisFIN]

Ok.... but here is last night work.... I'm pretty disappointed of this render, because it doesn't look gold and its too dark and....
it takes to render something like 6 hours :)

i teaked it on PS7:

Look at your highlights. They are white.
I noticed that the ones from the movie is more yellow(gold). Maybe changing your light color to gold will help a bit?

[iNFERNiS]

looks good to me.
Remember that they adjusted the colors of the movie after it was shot. In this case, a yellow/orange tint.

[NemesisFIN]

Yes, of course did change colors at film, but it shows the way to go...

[lazorwolf]

i think your ring is too glossy, or wet looking. try turning down the glossyness.

[Fede]

Hey dude, that's looking fantastic.

Make a tut on how to make the ring from scratch it will be great.

later.

[Fingolfin]

DUDE!
I'm a big metal fan and am always trying to get it right.
Your gold is awesome! Great job.
My gold always looks like the ones that you did before too.
I hope you post a tutorial or something. I would really like to know how it was done.
I believe that credit should be given to those that deserve it. I'll always say I learned it from you if I ever use it.
Once again, good job!

[NemesisFIN]

Thanks man.... Should I make ring tutorial (include scene, lighting, modeling and material, rendering)?

[Fingolfin]

Up to you.
I'm more interested in the gold texture.
As you have shown in that gold skull...once you get the texture down, you can use it for anything.
Let us know where the tutorial is once you've made it.
Thanks.

[iNFERNiS]

looks great, tutorial! :buttrock:

scene, lighting, modeling and material, rendering

would greatly appriciate :)

[NemesisFIN]

Here it is... finaly.... but only how to make material

[JBoskma]

Looks great, the model/texture looks great, try to get some real photorealism in your final render. Would be great :]

[iNFERNiS]

[NemesisFIN]

I'm not sure.... I'm little bit tired/depressed right now... Maybe, but I promise nothing... Hope you find something help here
