Posts: 90 | TRON's Crystal Cave scene on Oculus Quest!!
on Tuesday, September, 15, 2020 8:40 PM
Greetings, programs! One of my favorite scenes in TRON is when the gang finds their way into the Crystal Cave, a backdrop designed by Peter Lloyd. To me, the Crystal Cave is so calming, and embodies exactly what it must be like inside the computer at the silicon crystal level, at the very edge of the developed system.
I've always wanted to be in there, so I started work on creating the Crystal Cave on my Oculus Quest - that's right, in 3D Virtual Reality so we can ALL walk around and chill inside the computer!
The video above shows the reference scene from the movie along with my very "starter" model.
My user wants us all to go to the Crystal Cave in 3D virtual reality!

Greetings, programs! A 3D spin-through of my TRON Crystal Cave starter model, based on Peter Lloyd's gorgeous backdrops! Been programming Unity with tools, such as a "camera matcher" to dial in perspective lines from TRON stills, "prefab" to do line edging, and a "fourth point" plane solver to simplify "miter cuts" through crystal structures. Next time I'll post an Oculus Quest video!

Wow, so cool, davidmarchfleming! It's great to see someone so passionate about the original Tron and cranking out creative stuff like this. You kind've beat me to the punch with this, as I had it on my radar to try to do some  -inspired modeling of areas within this scene or others sooner rather than later
    
I'm getting out of here right now, and you guys are invited.   -----^

Thank you Traahn! There's so much art in TRON that we'll never run out of opportunities like this! :-)

Presenting first-ever Oculus Quest demo of TRON's Crystal Cave, a VR interpretation of Peter Lloyd's backdrop from TRON (1982). Project is in early stages, there is much work to do. But like the man says, only solutions! Please support me on Patreon and you'll get early access to this program, program!

Amazing work! Look forward to seeing it further evolve 
I have to ask: how does it feel to walk around in a world firsthand with VR??

Thank you Traahn and Boxleitnerfan1689! It's starting to feel great walking around in this in VR! I'm working on doing the audio glassy/bell-like sounds some too. The audio, along with the line sparkle effects and such as in the movie, will make it feel much more immersive!
