As you saw in my last post, I attempted to make The One Ring from The Lord Of The Rings movies, well today I continued my attempt.
As you can see I have tried to give the ring an elvish quality by adding the material 'phong' and adjusting its qualities. The ring on the left is the purely the polygon shape and the ring on the right is the adjusted one. Clearly it doesn't look right, it is too translucent.
So I started again. Gave the new ring the same material and had a second attempt at colouring. At least this time it didn't end up red.
It is clear that this is much closer to the colour that I want. I went on to tweak the texture and give it a much more orange look without losing the gold.
This is much more like the look I'm going for.
Once I get the look right, I will open a picture of the inscription in photoshop, mess about and tweak that slightly, then import it into Maya, wrap it around the ring and parent the two of them together.
Finally I will add in light, shadow and reflection and hopefully it'll be finished.
I'll keep you posted.
