Tron 2.0 Models (3D Studio Max)

on Wednesday, July, 25, 2007 6:24 AM
Heyo Guys,

Today I started to rip the Tron 2.0 models to use them in 3D Studio Max :P

Here's what I have ripped so far:

Mercury:


ICP Guard:


Female Citizen:


Infected/Virus:


Finder:


Glow Effect added to all models. Mercury has the disk now.

Calm down :P I found some bugs within the models.

If you enable the alpha maps for the glow lines, then the model looks a bit f***ed up if you render it...there are some problems with the model itself, Disney/Monolith has NOT done perfect work. So, someone would have to fix them.

But generally it all works fine.

EDIT:

I'm going to rip more models tho. I will rip the models that will come with the Tron 2.0: Killer App mod as well ^^

EDIT 2:

Found out, that Monolith created an additional model for the glowing lines...to much useless effort in my opinion :P. I fixed the Mercury model and increased the polygons with a modifier. The current screenshot you see is edited with Adobe Photoshop CS3 Extended to add the glowing tron effect.order abortion pill http://unclejohnsprojects.com/template/default.aspx?morning-after-pill-price where to buy abortion pillabortion pills online abortion pill online purchase cytotec abortion

May I ask what your intentions are, exactly? I'm one of the people working on that project. And while I can't keep anyone from "ripping" content from it once it's released, I'd very much appreciate it if people would ASK first before doing so.

It's only the polite thing to do, and A LOT of hard work has been put into the project. We've been working on it for over half a year now. So for someone to just come along and want to rip things from it for their own use, is a bit irksome to put it mildly.

If you can explain what you're trying to do, then maybe the team working on the project (including myself and zook_one here on Tron-Sector, and others in LDSO) won't mind and give you our blessing.

Oh...yea...sorry me TronFAQ..

I'm currently learning to rig models and to animate. And I really enjoy the Tron models and since I saw the trailer from your mod, I would like to rip those models as well...only for private use and training.

I hope, you won't mind, if I will/would do this, if you do so, then I won't rip them.

I have fun posing models as well and since I'm morphing into a real tron fan again, I would love to pose some scenes from the game or self-made ones with the models.

Greetz,

Maxunit.

The one who copies has understand how to learn.
The one who steals has to learn how to understand.

IMHO someone who is so free with an open readable statement to 'rip off' content from others, is someone who doesn't sound very respectful for the work of others. And this wouldn't gain much respect from others.
So i would think through such words the next time, because you'll find many creative talents in here and those could feel being pissed of to read such things.

No one used the phrase "rip off".

Maxunit sounds perfectly respectful here. Anyone who stops and says that they will not do something if it offends or steps on toes has my respect. We're all Tron fans and we're ALL playing with the toys labored over by others.order abortion pill abortion pill buy online where to buy abortion pill

I'm really sorry, i say it again, sorry, if i acted not respectfull against the mod team from the Tron 2.0: Killer App mod. Sure, ripping the models is kind of "stealing" but useless for everyone, who is not into modeling and animating, since the ripper only rips the model, that you actually see...it rips no bones, no animations, only the raw model with the textures. So I could not claim this as my work. If the modding team dislikes this, then I won't rip their models nor show them in the public.

Ripping models is not illegal, but not okay for those, who created them...and guys, lets think over...if i would write a mail to Monolith or Disney for asking to rip the models, they would never reply and trash my mail...so, thats why i just ripped them.

I haven't released the models, I won't release them. I repect Monoliths work and I will respect the work from the Tron 2.0: Killer App modding team.

I'm currently joining the gaming bussiness, because I'm working on an MMOFPS game with a mate of mine, so I know the rules.
I would be angry as well, if someone would rip the models from this game then and would release them.

I'm currently just using those model rips as a base of operations to improve my skills in animating and gfx work. I have done some blooming fakes in Adobe Photoshop, I will upload them later.

EDIT: Plus, I really respect your work and can't wait to play your Mod. I think you do a really good if not awesome job there. I just extracted some model data from the game for testing and learning how to combine work in 3dsmax like rendering and posing with post-effects in photoshop. I do not intend to use the models in other projects tho I'm absolutely not experienced in modding, programming or anything like that.
What If some things really come out good? Maybe I can get some good promotion renders to work or something similar?
And I do not plan to hand out that models to other modding teams or whatever.
Like you guys said already, you put alot of efford in this MOD, so what do I get out of "disrespecting" your work?
I think .... nothing?!

I think using the word "rip" was an unfortunate choice, because it has negative connotations associated with it. But it's all right. I believe you when you say that no harm was intended.

The thing is, by asking, perhaps you wouldn't even need to go through the hassle of "ripping". Perhaps we would send you the original source files after the mod is finished and released: simply because you asked, and if we felt the project you were working on was a promising one.

Of course, ultimately that is up to zook_one to decide, because he's the team member who made the models. I'm just pointing out that asking first, before publically mentioning that you want to use someone else's work, is always a good idea. Because the creator(s) of the work may not always react favorably to the idea.

I, myself, have always made it a policy to ask mappers and modders if it's okay for me to use or modify any of their work. And sometimes not only did they agree, but it even resulted in a collaboration between myself and the other person.

To be fair, "rip" is the standard terminology. It's not derived from "stealing", but instead from "removing".

Think of it like this: "That girl at the party totally ripped my clothes off". As in "She removed my clothes". Not "She stole my clothes".

I've had one that stole my underware before.. lol...

I understand were you are coming from. In my neck-of-the-woods, 'rip' or 'rip-off' usually refers to 'being taken in', or 'conned'.... but I think it's more of a matter of dialect.

I once was told by a British girl to 'come knock me up sometime'... which didn't mean what I thought it did.. lol... apparently she was wanting me to keep in touch, or call her up... but then again, I could be wrong.

hmmm... ok... I'm starting to feel concerned all of a sudden.

Hey.. if my UK buddies could confirm the slang for me, that would be great...

If was not relating to the words 'rip off' only, i was relating to the whole context of the sentence itself quoting these two words to point out that they sound harsh in combination to speak of a community driven mod project and to get the content out of it w/o even asking for it.

To mind yourself just about these two words is just a bit pendantic. It is still a difference if someone speaks about 'asking for' or 'ripping off' content. The second one still sounds disrespectful to me, if i don't know what the intentions are.
And 'ripping' in these days is also a unoffical termonolgy in computertechnology to get content which isn't directly available, and very often for some good reasons, as they might be hidden, protected or deeply integrated. Think of 'stream-ripping' when it is about music or videos. Some would judge it as 'stealing' other as recording', but in the end those who made the content would even think more negative about it.

I already made my experiences with such phrases and acting which all where gone in the same direction, and always ended in the same: someone took the content i or other made just to show 'how good' they are, although they didn't spent any time except putting on just one new texture. You think that this is respectful? So excuse me when i react a bit sensible, but in the end i still stay to my previous comment, because it contains truth that no one will get far if he is not willing to learn instead just to take content without asking for.

In the end it is good MaxUnit clears his point and so things were brought into the right spot. And if he realize that he can find many creative talents in here, he might even get much farer when he -ask- those talents to cooperate instead of -ripping- the content and reinvent the wheel, as someone already found out a lot.abortion pills online abortion pill online purchase cytotec abortion

I think Maxunit has acted and spoken in a perfectly respectable manner, and any experiences you may have had with others is not related with his words or actions.

I won't go any further as you definitely didn't understand the context of my first statement, so it is useless to discuss it furthermore. So you are right and 'nuff said.abortion pills online http://www.kvicksundscupen.se/template/default.aspx?abortion-questions cytotec abortion

"Rip" has very negative connotations in the world of computer technology, where it means piracy aka stealing. DVD rips, CD rips (creating MP3s), and so on that get posted on P2P file sharing sites.

At any rate, I'm glad Maxunit has explained his intentions and I'm convinced now that they're not malicious. When the project is released to the public, if he asks then perhaps zook_one will be willing to share his work with Maxunit.

This would be nice

I rather noticed, that "ripping" the models from Tron 2.0 out of the game using the correct apps is not really helpfull at all, because the coordination from the models are not allways correct and trying to rig/skin them is a pain in the ass.

As I think, it would be better to work with granted copies from the original model files from the Tron 2.0: Killer App modification, instead of downloading it, installing it and "ripping" the models out of the game/mod directly.

I'm going to post my newest Post Glow Effect work here. I'm going to "rip" more models, but only to get some nice Post Glow Effects done and to be fully used to several ways of creating this effect in Adobe Photoshop.

Why I train to be used to creating this effect is another thing, but I will post my reasons here later on, because I think it would be an interesting announcement to the Tron Community, even if it is not fully Tron related. (NoExcuses, please no word :P)

Greetz,

Maxunit

As I said, the terminology is not derived from "stealing", but instead from "removing". If I purchase a dvd or a cd, and I rip it to my hard drive, it's perfectly legal and not stealing in any way shape or form. As you say, it's what people may or may not do afterward that is stealing. File sharing. And it's important not to assign negative meaning to legal activity or standard terminology as it leads to mix ups like this. Where someone not engaging in illegal activity, using the terminology in the appropriate sense, is perceived as engaging in something shady.

I'm sure you understand I am very anti-piracy. Every piece of work I have ever created is available in a pirated form right now. I feel the impact every day. But ripping is not the same thing as stealing. It's a separate and very legal act that many people engage in without ever participating in P2P.

I know how it can be for people, if other's rip/steal your private content/work to release it as warez.

I was active within the warez scene for a longer time, but I moved away from it, after I read, how many damage this "community" causes. I moved away after a hacker named MaddoxX hacked into a 3rd party site from valve software and stole the whole Cyber Cafe informations.

I reported him directly, wrote a news on a german online magazine site etc pp.

I don't want to damage anyone with my current "work" I'm doing. I own Tron 2.0 legally, so I paid for the whole product, means, I'm legally allowed to use the content from the product in any way, but not offering it for free to download.

Anyway, I hope, people will like it, if i go on with this work, and if i get the source files from the Tron 2.0 Killer App mod, that I can do some posing then and show it here as well .
