Zantetsuken....your ring is bangtastic. What render engine did you use? Also is the design around the ring a self designed bump map?

Final render looks great.

Rendering was done in Zbrush (several passes) and composited, graded, and touched up in Photoshop.

The images around the outside of the ring are scenes from FFI:

The bridge crossing after Garland's first defeat -

Lich in possession of the earth crystal -

The raising of the Airship -

Around the backside is: Marilith with the Fire crystal, The meeting with Bahamut, Kraken with the Water crystal, the Mirage Tower, Tiamat with the Wind Crystal, and the Battle with Chaos.

These details are likely too small for the in-game model (perhaps just the 4 fiends could be featured), but I wanted to include them in my rendition~

This idea is new and for the Win! :D

So much detail and meaning. I'd be very sore if you didn't at least make the chosen 10. I'm just not sure how much detail can be put into such a small in-game item.

All Images updated on main Page

Keep images coming. id like the forum toget a Dev Reply.

Hopefully the stats carry the ring as much as the lore does.

Boosting Map discovery will be a nice bonus when we get to explore 2.0, and a bonus to 'Luck' (that is, increasing our RNG odds) would be a welcome addition to those doing events like hamlet, farming for HQ materials, or even multi-melding.

I do feel alot of images are good but they seem to miss a good design in some part of the ring or don't seem FF at all. There's only few here that will make it. None the less there's some that could be put ingame.

Nice 1. So thats how you managed the detail. I'm assuming they were custom brushes with the images you posted?

Mine was done in vray with 3dsmax. I didnt wanna overcomplicate my ring since it wouldnt be feasable in game (not making excuses lol). But i'm rooting for your ring to win. It deserves it with the thought process. I should learn zbrush when I have the time haha

I'd recommend you try it if you get the chance. It's certainly a different discipline in model creation. The UI can be a bit of a hurdle, but you can do some amazing stuff with it once you get comfortable with it.

BTW, Good choice on vray, it's a great renderer. the raytracing on refractions is very nice (as your ring shows).

Here's mine. I hate travel times. It's called the Chocoband :D

Stats: Run speed +5% in towns; Run speed +5% while riding Chocobos
