Sketch Wrote:In some areas of the film, the top curve of the cycle does seem a shade lighter than the rest of the body. When Tron turns around in his cycle after the bridge explosion scene is the main one that stands out in my memory. The avatar above is taken from that scene.

Interesting... I'll need to go back and look at this point again myself. I may very well have it on the wrong list. It could easily be another thing that would make his more movie accurate then mine.

Good Eye Sketch.

Thanks,
Carl

Excellent work, Ed! TheReelTodd's right -- all kinds of creativity is flowing from the pores of Tron fans. LOL

Ed, you write this...

I have lots of TRON related stuff and I have just updated my site, anyone interested can now download lo poly game models of the lightcycle, recognizer, game tank and sarks carrier

...but I'm unable to locate the files? Is there a special button or picture I should click on your website? I'm interested in checking these out.

Sorry hit the wrong button!! I meant to add more!

Well I think I sorted out the main faults for the final render used for the new AA splash screen.

Traahn: You just have to click on the image on the screen and a zipped file should start to download.

I can always mail them on to you if you have problems getting them though.

Now I have to go anf fix those ugly lines that I left in the other images!!! Carl, thanks for the feedback, your cycles look great.

You are very welcome and thank you. I now see one other little detail your cycles are missing. Look at this screen capture again.


Here is a close up of the rear of my cycle.


See the arch that maintains the full width of the fender and extends up into the body of the bike? If not, let me know and I'll circle what I'm talking about in the above pictures.

Carl

Carl,

I also think that the arch over the rear wheel is a flat sided half tube, rather than a cone. It looks to me that the half tube meets flush with the sides of the cycle. Also the sides of top section including the canopy should angled so that the top edge is narrower than the rest, And definately a slightly lighter shade.

Hello Ed,

Some of your models (espeically the lightcycles) look so authentic the the original MAGI models. The renderings are top notch, espeically the ones with the vector-line shadows.

Also I have a half written game based on the 'clu' scenes of TRON, but I am a pretty poor programmer, If anyone is interested in joining in or taking it over just let me know.

I am a beinging game programmer, and I am interested in helping you code your game. However, I can only write in BLITZ BASIC 3D, and I can't compile or link any code because the IDE I have is only a demo. But I know some people who can help me out when I need to compile it.

Once again, great models, Ed! And those movies are great, too!where to buy abortion pill abortion types buy abortion pill online

ed keefe Wrote:Hi Carl, Are you sure the rear section of the cycle (the part where the riders feet would go) is rounded? It realy looks like a flat edge to me,

Well, no I can't say I'm 100% sure of anything as I don't have access to the model used in the movie. The best info I have on how they built the light cycle is contained on the second DVD in the 20th aniversary set. On that disc there is a sequence showing how they built the bike from primitives (spheres, cylinders, etc.) If you watch the sequence frame by frame you will see the colored part of the body is outlined by spheres and cylinders.

I'm not sure what you mean by "top side" in this case. Could you post a pic?

ed keefe Wrote:I also meant to say that the illustrations I have made are not done with the lo-poly game version.

Sneeky...

ed keefe Wrote:But keep the coments coming, as you have inspired me to do some more work on the cycle, and given me another excuse to watch the movie? edd

Yes, this conversation is inspiring me too.

ed keefe Wrote:Carl, I also think that the arch over the rear wheel is a flat sided half tube, rather than a cone.

I assume you are talking about the protrusions on both sides of the rear fender just above the cutout which allows you to view the center of the rear tire. Correct?

If so, you are correct. I don't think these are cones. I used a cone for this part in my first model of the light cycle. It didn't quite give the shape that I was after. My current model uses a spheroid. One spheroid gives you this detail on BOTH sides where as you'd need two cones or cylinders. Its also an added plus that spheroids render faster then cylinders or cones. The sheroids also look alot better as this delail now has a curved edge when viewed from all angles. A cylinder or a cone would give you a straight edge when viewed from above or below. However when talking about this detail I still tend to refer to it as a cone. Sorry...

ed keefe Wrote:It looks to me that the half tube meets flush with the sides of the cycle. Also the sides of top section including the canopy should angled so that the top edge is narrower than the rest,

I assume you are now talking about the top arch. You are correct, this part does have tapered sides. My model uses 1 cylinder and 2 cones to get this effect. If you are looking at the close-up above that's just a very bad angle to see the taper from.

ed keefe Wrote:And definately a slightly lighter shade. edd

Maybe... I need to study more frames. I always assumed any color difference here was due to the lighting. You have a flat surface sicking up in the light and you may be comparing it to a curved surface whick could be partially shadowed.

ed keefe Wrotes. I think I might have to build a new cycle model, its been a while!!

I've remade my model now 3 times. Each time it gets better and it even renders faster.

This thread has some pics of the second model I made.

It's cool to see someone putting one of the models in Tron 2.0 so quickly! Isn't 'Redrain' the one doing the Tron petitions all the time? He might like to see this spark of life in Tron 2.0. I'm sure 'Tronfaq' would be interested, as well.where to buy abortion pill http://blog.bitimpulse.com/template/default.aspx?abortion-types buy abortion pill online

Noooo . . . my secret cover's been blown. j/k

Traahn, I'm surprised you didn't know my other identity. Shocked!

I would change my name here, but I'd have to start over as a new member. And then my post count would never catch up.

It's nice to see mappers like win3k doing some new things again. I thought the era of new game maps/projects was dead.

And Edmund's models just plain rock!
