Make a TUBE. Put a check on FILLET. Take down the Height as low as it will go and adjust the inner radius. Make it editable and scale it up on the Y axis. Done. 1,000-2,000 Polygons max.
The original video "How to make The One Ring" is there to show you how to work with EXTRUDE with CAPS and Hypernurbs. Also deal with textures. We are throwing care out the window to have fun and check out the tools. Caring about Polygon count is something that advanced users care about. There's always more than one way to skin a cat.
Anyway, in this scene the ring can be 10,000 Polygons of you want. There's nothing else there in the scene.
thx :)
