From an aerial view it looks like the #OneRing but at ground level, it looks like a #Stargate, a Porta Stellare, if you will, which isn't too far off from Astria Porta 🤓

Remember, don't use Budge in your translations #DoorwaytoHeaven 😛

One Ring

https://fed.brid.gy/r/https://warandpeas.com/2026/02/01/one-ring/

A bit more of painting this week. The difference is that I got to share the hobby with my wife this time!

Those here are the Dwarven heroes from our coming Moria campaign for One Ring.

Not ready yet, but almost there!

The #OneRing from #TheLordOfTheRings in #Blender. This actually took quite a lot of effort to get looking good. I tried a handful of different approaches, from boolean modifiers to normal maps, to actually sculpting the letters in (which did not go well).

Normal maps didn't get the look of depth I wanted. I wouldn't mind something like parallax maps, but that's not an easy thing to achieve in Blender. In order to get the displacement good enough, I had to crank subdivisions way up. This is 16.7 million triangles. I tried some approaches with some selective subdivision, but I couldn't get the seam between the high and low resolution looking just the way I wanted it to. My video card doesn't have nearly enough memory for this, so I had to do it on the CPU. This took about 2 hours to render. I added a simple glare via the compositor. I ran a 2.5 minute one first with denoising, and I have to say, not a lot of difference between the short and long version. Blender's denoiser is pretty good.

Imho the so far worst cloud vuln ever

The One Ring inscription (Part 2)

Image 1 shows the second One Ring inscription Tolkien sent to the printer. But he was still unhappy with it. So he asked to send another one.
Image 2 shows the well know inscription as printed in books. The original art sent by Tolkien to the printer is lost.

The inadvertently changed tengwa is circled in blue. Tolkien became later aware of his mistake (before publication) but accepted it.

The One Ring inscription (Part 1)

The inscription on the One Ring is perhaps the best-known piece of Tengwar art (along with the Doors of Moria) that Tolkien conceived, but did you know that he made a mistake in trying to find a better style of calligraphy for it after sending it to the printer and being urged by everyone to finish the job?

_look for part 2_
