[Setekh]

That's it... I'm doing your art gallery...

[Nico]

yeahouhiahy the Mordor doesn't use greek alphabet

btw, this ring is way too thick, look at a real one

[KillMeNow]

well strangely enough i dont have the fonts for the language of mordor as for the ring being to thick perhaps but it was innatially just a test of my gold texture cause i didn't think the lightwave preset was upto much

bah, you can find the "quote" everywhere, just make a search, and use the bmp as a map
I've even seen it in a thread in the HLP forum

I assume by this you mean the one in the movie (the same terribly accurate movie with Arwen Evenstar swinging a blade and no Tom Bombadil). As the movie is inaccurate, there are also no pictures of the One Ring. I'd say KMN's rendition of the ring (but not the script) is as accurate as any other.

[KillMeNow]

yes i noticed in the film that the script was on the outside - as i recall i think (been a while though) that in the book teh writing was on the inside

[Dark_4ce]

Nice Render! And I think that the movie was damn good! Ok, its not a FULL adaptation of the book, but come on you guys, don't tell me the average person who heasent read the books would not consider the whole Tom Bombadil event boring. A man with the power to stop trees from killing people by singing to them?

And if you people want heres a link to the Tengwar font that is used in the ring. I also suggest you get Tengwar Scribe, that allows you to convert messages into tengwar cursive and into the language of Mordor.

http://www.sci.fi/~alboin/tengwar.htm

That should have the font to allow you to write the message into the ring!

[KillMeNow]

thanks where can i get the scribe? and does anyone remember the exact wording of the ring?

[Dark_4ce]

That should have Tengwar Scribe. In the readme it should have the correct wording aswell casue thats what we all wanna write first right? The program works great too, cause if you write the "one ring to rule them all..." line it will translate it correctly to what it was in the ring. So its a fun little program.

In English or in Mordor?

BTW, hella cool render!

 Man, gotta love this smiley

[KillMeNow]

still haven't found the exact wording but here is somethign i made up that sounded slightly familiar in that font (not used the scripter yet though)

[an0n]

Make it shinier and put some fire behind the camera to reflect in the ring.

no, I meant KMN one
I'm a huge mfan of the books, and I must say I was terribly anxious about the movie, yet even with the large parts cut off and some changes ( Saruman is much more important in the movie than in the first book ), I can understand, and then accept those changes. the movie is already damn long, you could realisticly do more, and don't forget they have 2 other movies to complete. And for Saruman, well, the movie was also directed to non Tolkien reader audience, and so they needed a villain for the movie, and Sauron doesn't show up, never, so...

Sauron shows up a helluva lot more in the first movie than he does in the book already, heh.

i keep watching that mace effect

he shows only at the begining lol and it's not an original LOTR scene, it's a Silmarillion one . In the book, nobody never meets with him if I'm not mistaken, only Gandalf in The Hobbit, and the scene is not described :doh:

Btw, I wonder: how come Saruman feared him eventually, when he got to banish him once? One that can be beaten once can be beaten twice, he should know that, no?

[KillMeNow]

perhaps his power grows or he learns new stuff or something

Actually, I'm less concerned about Tom's absence (I considered him unnecessary, as he doesn't ever fit into the structure of the Middle Earth in any way. He wasn't man or elf or dwarf, nor Maiar nor Valar). I was much more concerned about the Arwen riding out on a horse to pick up the dying Frodo and waving a sword about. As I recall, in Lord of the Rings, there's only one warrior woman, and she was no elf. I can deal with them promoting Saruman, as they were basically recounting what was revealed in The Two Towers anyway (I'll not say how for those who don't already know, it'd be a truly evil spoiler).

All in all, I was well pleased by the movie, but by no means is it in any way accurate to the book, and thus should not be used as metrestick by which to judge KMN's Ring. As I said, there's no J.R.R Tolkien produced imagery, and no exhaustive description by which to go (so far as I know), and thus KMN's rendition is as accurate as any other they might be proffered. This was said in reaction to Venom asserting that KMN's Ring was too thick.

[Nico]

well, I said it was too thick, compared to a real one
I think many parts of the movie were quite accurate, the scene in the Moria, save for the beaffed up troll and a few details, was a real act of bravery if you ask me, and, honestly, I would never have expected the Balrog to look that close from how I was imagining it.
Btw, the female warior is Eowyn of Rohan, and yeah, ARwen picking up Frodo kindda pissed me off. Arwen is not a warrior at all. I kindda like Bombadil tho, he's probably the most powerful creature of middle earth, even if he doesn't look at all this way, but yeah, he could look kindda out of the place. I think he's a Maiar actually. There's no statement against that, and he's not powerful enough to be a Valar (and I think we know the names of all the Valars in the Silmarillion anyway). He's definitively not a wizard, and I don't see any other option. And I doubt he would be a one of a kind creature.
