[@DanJackson1977]

One note: You changed the thickness and of the grid, which leads to strobing in those close up and pov shots.. and it sorta kills the illusion of speed the original had

[@totheknee]

Agreed, the original artists clearly thought about this (or the director) and made sure there was no strobing. Interesting...

[@totheknee]

Also, their grid changes size to match the original in the collision scene, which leads me to believe these guys cheated.

[@Whalester]

They didn't change the thickness of the grid at all for the modern shot. What happend was motion blur was introduced which wasn't present in the original. I would know I've made a scene before that moved across a wire frame with emission coming from it and wondered why it looked thicker when it was rendered.

[@Whalester]

When you add motion blur to something that is very very bright and moving very very fast, its smears very hard like that.

[@Whalester]

The only reason the original didn't contain any strobing was because it was animated one images at a time individually and they didn't have the ability to add motion blur. The strobing was caused by the motion blur, and I would imagine if they had access to the technology at the time to blur their frames together they would.

The biggest tells, besides the glitches, are in two key details: 1. The bikes don't line up 2. There is a lack of a sense of speed on the re-made grid; the OG one flies by while the other one just smoothly pans under the camera But a solid attempt for a single day!

[@argh01hass]

I felt that the major tells were (1) the remade bikes were more chunky viewed from above, and coloured / lit in lower-contrast than the original; and (2) the lines on the ground were spaced differently and/or the floor was lighter in the remake. Solid effort, though, as you said - and an excellent challenge for an aspiring 3D modeller.

[@copperboltwire320]

I think they tricked people per camera angle, the altered the size and shape of the grid. For instance, look at the grid in the old vs new near the wall at the explosion scene. The grid in the original appears larger, as if the changed the way the grid actually sits on the ground. It's soooo subtle, you wouldn't even think of it when you see it. Of course matching the framerate even a little to make the grid less blurry in some scenes does convey speed better too. I also notice there is like a bloom-like effect in Tron that the new version they made does not have, like certain lines and the like have a glow effect. Look at the side by side comparisons and just look at the grid. Yes, they only had a day, but these subtle details is what makes Tron a memorable watch too. In the "Doom Patrol", Mr. Nobody "the bad guy" appears as a shattered looking guy, and the visual effect is exactly like tron. kzbin.info/www/bejne/nJeUnYh3rbuHrZI When i saw him i was like, with, i know that visual effect!!!

In the original Tron, they didn't "tilt" the bikes, because it was inside a basic video game. When they broke out of the video game's physics the bikes could tilt. Sorry not being negative, fantastic work!

I think it was sort of both. After all, if you consider the actual video game and other games of the time, leaning would also not work if an object was generating a trail behind it. This is sort of a case where the technical limitation of video games justified the behavior in the movie, which suffered the same technical limitation, which would have justified the behavior in the game.

Nah they just botched the animation. Not their fault but sometimes blender resets the curves (whether or not the animation moves linearly from one keyframe to another or slows in and out of each starting position and speeds up in the middle, bezier). Sometimes this causes the start of the movement to look really slow but the end super fast which occurred in the first and last shots.

[@rinosous]

"TRON" was the name of a Unix debugging command, used in the 70s. It stands for "TRace ON", and printed line numbers as a program ran. There was also "TROFF", which turned it off. In my circles, it was widely understood that this was the root of the character name. (The Tron character is--ultimately--a debugging program designed to figure out what was wrong with the Master Control Program.)

[@TheAlienGangster]

The people who made the original Tron seemed like they actually understood how a computer worked. They understood that data moves extremely fast (time moving slower inside the Grid but quick in the real world), data from the machine has to interface with the user through the I/O (I/O towers), they established the world with real terminology (users and programs), they actually bothered to attempt to respect laws of mass and energy (the laser beam holding the person’s particles and reforming them when they return, with the version of them in the Grid being made of code), and so on. Many characters were also named after real computer things (TRON, CLU, and RAM). Of course they embellished things and romanticized the whole concept of a computer as a fictional world, but at least they tried to look like they understood it. I was disappointed that Legacy straddled the line between fantasy and science with Users bleeding in the Grid and Clu’s plan.

I think it would be really interesting to see a further improved version where they give themselves more time to once again recreate the scene shot for shot, but they allow themselves to use modern techniques to fix some of the visual glitches present in the original, like the periodic lines on the trails, and add modern lighting and rendering, while still keeping the same overall aesthetic and making sure the shots match perfectly when overlaid.

Corridor Crew in 2025: "We remade Toy Story in an hour"

[@chvishnu619]

I don't think this could ever happen. The innovations in any field kinda plateau after a point... With Pixar the plateau started and it's still going. Since Avatar in CGI and Toy Story in animation, I don't think there's been huge leaps. Were they?

[@Kyle_Hubbard]

@@chvishnu619 "Innovations in any field kinda plateau after a point." No they don't, not in regards to tech. The majority of the reason other projects plateau is purely because of business and that is it. As tech keeps rapidly evolving so do the methods of finding a better way to do something or do something that before wasn't possible. A small evolution had lead to a huge one. I personally believe the only obstacle in anything is the human themself. Perhaps in the future artifical intelligence will make these constant advancedments constantly possible.

[@mutinyz]

as a lifelong tron fan, I absolutely loved this video.

[@ArmedMalox]

I think the most obvious difference is how the ground moves. The creators of Tron did a better job at creating the feeling for speed than you did with modern technology :P. But great work, love it. Is this the start of a new "Old CG revisited"-Series? :P

[@leftofpunk]

This is the part that stood out most to me as well.

[@DionisFerizi]

literally came from my tv to my laptop to comment about this. the only thing that made it obvious was the grid not moving to create that speed, not sure how blender works but they probably could've done an animated texture for the grid/ground moving in the opposite direction so that the actual 3d objects of the bikes wouldn't move that much in actual 3d space. Think about it like a giant treadmill

[@jason-jc9bz]

[@infinitesession5439]

This should definitely happen!!!!!

[@gutz1981]

10:28 was the part where I was like "How slow are these cycles moving?" The grid is the only thing I could see not moving fast enough. Slowed it all down. But bloody amazing work for one day.

[@Rrusso92]

That’s where I caught that they were showing wren their recreation. Really great work! And I only noticed because I’ve seen this movie enough times to tell that there was something off!

[@antonhoawoad7515]

The grid did move at mostly the same speed but it was kinda synced with the frame rate so that i looks like it doesnt move at all

[@Kagedtiger]

Yeah, that was the big "off" moment for me too; the rate at which the grid lines move doesn't have the same feel as the dramatic contrast with the camera movement of the original, so it feels like the bikes are barely moving at all.

The floor looked weird, like it wasn't moving. That gave it away quite early.

[@madnais]

yeah not sure why they didn't make the floor move. made it look like the bikes weren't going anywhere and the camera was the only thing moving

[@MrKrimson]

Was wondering what u guys were talking about. Its just the camera recording/rendering speed is syncing up with the frequency at which the lines pass the camera when the camera is moving. Yknow, videos are a bunch of pictures, if the camera is right above a line every time it took a picture by coincidence, itll look like the floor is static - so actually kinda what irl would look like.. Heres my favourite example ;) 9gag.com/gag/a5b8dQo

[@madnais]

@@MrKrimson yeah but there isn't any flickering or anything the lines literally just sitting there lol. Making the lines fly by makes it look faster. Look at 12:00 and tell me it looks like the bikes are moving or not. The only thing that gives motion is the little white line in the trails in their version

[@hahasamian8010]

Another thing is that the turning was just slightly off. I know this sounds really weird for 90 degree turns but, it looks more natural in the other version... They're probably rotating from different center points

[@EvaneCrow]

yes it way a giveaway (beside the obvious glitch in the wall) but still kudos to them for making the scene from scratch in a short amount of time. in the original they preplanned everything to the tiniest detail so that such problems wont occur if possible. for the remake you cant expect such level in the preparation stage obviously and hence the issue

[@thork6974]

Yes, it makes one appreciate how the original animators took frames-per-second into consideration. The "wagon-wheel' effect.

[@SomePotato]

And the moiré patterns which are not in the original.

[@GomTiles]

yeah, i was gonna say the same thing. the floor looked static. I'm surprised they didn't mention anything in the video.

[@CharlieQuartz]

Gom Tiles I suspect the frame rate of the video matched their animation of the floor lines well enough that it seemed like they weren’t passing quickly. The capture on their monitor may have looked different to the KZbin upload.

[@MarkSeve]

Nice job. Did it match: mechanically is was similar, but the original was a slower frame rate, is was a lower resolution, and since many of those shots were filmed directly from the CRT monitor, had a 'through glass' fuzziness to it that was not replicated. Well done though. And the updated version looked sweet. And the fact that you did thos e in a day or so, also impressive. Come to the Blender side, its cheaper.

[@Nukle0n]

Everything you say is wrong. They were 24 frames per second, high enough resolution to blend in with the live action elements, and they were most certainly not shot from a CRT, they were printed to film from the computer.

You guys should use RTX Voice for dunking on background noise, just like old CGI. Lol!

[@Linerunner99]

RTX Voice is in beta and it shows. You might find yourself listening to garbled noise instead of the 20 minutes of audio you just recorded. For someone at home, it's annoying but not the end of the world. For pros that loss of time is pretty painful.

[@guspaz]

@@Linerunner99 Which is why for recording, you record the raw audio and apply RTX Voice after the fact, so that you can tweak the strength as required, and in the worst case, you can just ditch it. There is no need to apply it while recording.

[@usmh]

Strangely, the thing that gave it away was a very basic error: The bikes were moving so slowly. In some shots, the bikes barely pass over any lines on the grid.

[@chylex]

They actually are moving fast, but the camera moves in a way that causes stroboscoping effect on the grid.

[@sonicaditya]

i think ground was attached to the bikes that why that error occured

[@KittenEarbreak]

I was assuming the frame rate happened to match the moving grid so it looked like it wasn’t moving

[@cynicalmoose19]

Still very impressive for one afternoon of work on a new modeling program

[@trevorkorber]

thing is, it might have not looked like that for them watching it live. The framerate uploaded to KZbin might've coincidentally lined up with the speed of the camera

[@KAS6558]

Nice rethink of the original! I always would like to see a redo of these effects! This makes me want more!

[@JustWasted3HoursHere]

Blender's greatest feature is the price: $0.00 and yet it can absolutely hold its own with the best modeler/renderers out there. It does modeling, rendering, animation, physics, motion estimation for objects and camera, NLE, you name it. Cinema 4D costs over $700...per year. 3DS Max costs over $1500...per year. So, for sure Blender is worth taking a look at. There are TONS of tutorials on KZbin and it is updated very regularly.

[@Katniss218]

Yet Blender goes toe to toe with both paid options. It's just amazing. It's not like it's good *because* it's free, but the fact it is free is a great slap to the face of every paid modelling software. Blender also does sculpting btw, but it's not at the level of zbrush yet.

[@6581punk]

People pay for support and software that has been evaluated and tweaked for good UX. That's not to say Blender isn't fine when you get used to it.

[@JolanXBL]

[@hyruleorchestra4339]

I used Blender for a couple of years now and I love this program a lot. Yet I don't like it very much when people compare it to the other big players and even sometimes call them out on their prices. Because from what I can tell the hard truth is: as great as Blender is, it doesn't hold a candle to Maya regarding rigging and character animation, to Houdini regarding sims and vfx or to C4D regarding motion design. The more you go into a professional level and need sophisticated tools that realize very complex, dynamic and non-destructive systems, the more you see all the things that Blender is missing......features that are lightyears ahead of Blender's toolset. Have you every watched a 1,5 hours tutorial for a pro level Xparticles simulation? There are sooooo many things going on that aren't even remotely possible in Blender and won't be for the next couple of years. And we haven't even talked about things like direct support and maintenance. As I said: Blender is amazing and probably one of the most incredible open source projects out there. But there are some very good reasons why the industry standard programs are that expensive and why Blender isn't one of them.

[@JustWasted3HoursHere]

@@hyruleorchestra4339 Absolutely true. Points well taken. It is good, however, for a person who is not working in a professional environment but who needs to be able to do a lot of these things but are on a shoestring budget (some of those top modelers are in the thousands of dollars...per year).
