If that's correct why are there shadows on the grid lines in TRON?

They look to be 2D objects pasted on the floor plane to me.

Thanks for all the work guys I still need to do my part and try to digest
everyone elses posted solutions but so far I don't think anyone has
actually reproduced the process used for the original TRON images.
Considering how "primitive" the raytracing software MAGI used back then
must have been by today's standard it amazes me sometimes just how hard it
is to copy what they did with today's software.

Thanks again,
Carl
