Cool stuff.  If I remember right, in that movie the lighting was always dim
and all the objects had a kind of self illumination instead.

Make the wall-trails with emitting media rather than as solid objects. Add
glowing trace lines along the edges of the cycles. Add in emitting grid
lines of media along the floor.

Looking good! :{)

I think the front wheel of the cycles is too wide.  (I'll have to grab
the laser disk off the shelf and check).  I think someone alreay
mentioned this but the general background was always dark and the
objects emitted their own soft light.

Other than those, it's great.  Make the whole collection of characters
and we'll do our own version of POV-TRON :}

Where the top section of the cars meet the bottom section 
looks strange and unaerodynamic compared with the rest
of the object, maybe blob them together.  Nice work.

IIRC, they were completely CSG primitives,  Maybe lower the "top-half"
until it is tangent to the wheel.

Hey--it just hit me.   One of the evil characters from that movie--was it
the guardian of the MCP--also played an evil Minbari leader on Babylon 5.
The irony is that Bruce B also was in both works!

  David Warner, as Sark. A wonderful actor that often surpasses the
material he works from. You probably saw him also in Jim Cameron's
"Titanic" (1997) playing the henchman Mr. Lovejoy to Billy Zane, and in
Terry Gilliam and Michael Palin's "Time Bandits" playing Evil Genius.
He's also done voiceovers for cartoons and video games (Descent 3).

(any followups to p.off-topic, thanks)
