TRON - SCENE - Joshua Stubbles
polycounter lvl 20
Starting clobbering some ideas together last night. I'll try to get something up here after work this evening.

I haven't seen Tron for like 22yrs, so I'm just tossin' shit out there.
The big fuckers in the background are what I'm calling grid writers. Their job is to expand the grid. They're huge. The light rail system is used to transport old and/or derezzed code and programs to the disposal area, essentially the wasteland.
Zerogun, the grid writers are like big, lumbering factories in a way. They just plug along slowly, writing new grid for the system expansion.
Got the color comp about as far as I want to take it. Feel free to critique it. Some things will definitely change along the way. Colors might not even be final (like the orange - was just playin' around). I need to get started on the scene though. =\
I've just been roughing in geometry to get a sense of scene scale. This weekend I should have time to create the real assets.
Just a super WIP of the roughing out stage.
I hope that you'll find some time to finish this scene.
Your rough looks good so far.
Once I get the scale entirely nailed with all this place holder geo, I'll start working on the real assets for it.
Here's the rough geo block:
The matte painting is just ripped from the concept right now, so it's not indiciative of final quality. Everything else is still very WIP.
Still messing with everything, all content still very WIP.
Here's another small update.
Really promising so far !
Did some work on a few of the writers and did some texture/mesh changes to the grid. Matte still untouched, FX still wip. Need to finish th writers tonight then move on to the guard tower.
Here's the mesh for the 3-man light jet:
I'm going to change the mesh of the passenger cabin just a bit, but this is pretty much it.
**EDIT**
Okay, made the changes (254 tris now):
Finished the UV's on the recognizer right now. Going to see Tron again in a few hours. Hopefully that and the OST will give me the final push I need to finish this by the deadline.
by the way did you add those glow pieces around the white lights trough an alpha mapped plane? Or is it just a litle bit of PS magic:)?
The engine exhaust is part of the model, yeah. Each exhaust bit is a single triangle. The only "post" effect here is some of the glow that extends past the mesh boundaries.
and the actual matte texture:
I'll make the changes once I'm done with the scene.
And thumbs up for finding that reference, once you notice something doesn't look right it just keeps drawing your eye to it doesn't it:poly142:
Good luck with finishing it up:thumbup:
I'll definitely have to tweak the Recognizer after I'm done with the other stuff.
Finished the mesh for the guard tower, working on the UVs now.
