Set Up the New Dynamic Ring Tokens + Advanced Tokens | FOUNDRY VTT V11 Tutorial

I learned a thing, so I'm sharing said thing. Hope that this helps you set up Dynamic tokens that were released with the Foundry VTT D&D version 3 update. I THINK (but don't quote me) this will be more available in V12 and will be innately in Foundry. (But I've been wrong before)
This video uses Tokenizer A LOT. It's one of the best modules to quickly make circle tokens for your game. Here's the link: foundryvtt.com...
I mention Gimp, Adobe and Affinity a lot. If you're wondering I have paid for and use Affinity for work, (which is a one time fee). I'm sorry I don't have a better tutorial for Gimp, but I hope showing how to do it in Tokenizer makes up for it!

I'm glad I'm not the only one confused on how this dynamic ring works! 😂 I use custom token frames and photoshop my players tokens to make them pop out se as you do. So it's sooo hard to see this dynamic ring! Hopefully they improve it with time because there's a lot of potential with it. Right now it's definitely a version 1 implementation - but still great for people overall 😊

[@CantripsMedia]

True. Who knows what it will look like when version 12 fully releases

[@drew_and_dragons]

Simple enough! thanks for the insight!

[@BuckoBear]

Thank you for doing this while my brain melted trying to figure it out myself!

[@CantripsMedia]

I know right? I was so confused and then released it's a simple sizing thing. I don't know why it's behind the tokens other than because they fill the ring with a little animation 🤷‍♀️ At least tokenizer makes it a bit easier to adjust

[@wade0004]

So much effort! I hope your players know how lucky they are to have you!

[@CantripsMedia]

Small details like this though sometimes takes things to the next level

[@Grimgariano]

Soooo, hello there! Finally did the update. Also, Tokenizer has a Mask perfect for making this dynamic ring work. That being said... I can't get the HP to flash when healing or getting damaged. Maybe is just due to the fact that it is a different system with a different attribute name (instead of hp it's PV). If anyone plays Tormenta20 and know how to do this, heeeelp :)

[@CantripsMedia]

Dynamic tokens will only work for d&d unless you update to version 12. And then I think it also depends on the system and there are still a few reported bugs. I haven't used tormenta20 but hopefully someone can help

[@Nexidal]

Thank you! This was very helpful, that template is going to make my life so much easier. I do have a question though, is there a way to keep the dynamic interior ring but change the exterior ring to something else? My ideal would be keeping the pulsing lights and damage flashing while using custom borders.

[@CantripsMedia]

I don't think so, but I haven't tried that.

[@pjmcbigguns9598]

thank this was super helpful

[@liquidsn8ke529]

Amazing Work!

[@CantripsMedia]

Thanks!

This is the Template. It's legit just a circle. And it's free! I figured this is the easiest way for me to share it: cantripsmedia.com/products/foundry-vtt-dynamic-ring-token-template Let me know if there's something else foundry related you struggle with! Maybe I can look into it and put together another video! (Thanks Justin for reminding me this was a thing I wanted to figure out haha)
