:-)
It's Tron-like, but no simple lines as in the original. It evokes the same
"feeling" of the original, while looking much more advanced and in par with
current technology. That's what I meant.
Also... sometimes beauty is in the simplest things. I like it simple. I
guess it's part of my "Zen" lifestyle. :-)
Regards,
Roberto

A very beautiful picture. The intersections of the boxes look a little
muddy due to the lack of bright edges there. Bright green edges at the
intersections as well as the corners would look nice.

Well, as I recall, that "simplistic renderer" was a raytracer...but I
agree, this looks much like my idea of a "modern" Tron.

As a neat side-note (well, I think it is neat), when they made Tron,
they actually hand-coded the models into the computer and actually drew
them by hand using coordinates they read off of print-outs. Imagine the
patience it must have taken!!!
Also, the flickering you see is an accident. They got the film stock all
mixed up in the store room. I got this stuff off the Tron DVD.

I'm not sure what you mean. The images come from a ray tracer. The models for
that were hand coded from hand-drawn diagrams with measurements, not the other
way around (AFAIK).
i.e. they did it the same way I do much of my pov stuff! Although I often don't
bother drawing it on paper first and just go straight into code.

It is a good DVD :) Though I haven't gone through all specual features yet so
you might know something I don't. :)

It is still the best way to do it, IMHO. You aren't limited by some
programmer's idea of a GUI.

It's worth watching -- it's pretty cool!

Thought so. Although a lot of the effects were actually hand drawn (the frisbee,
most of the static backgrounds). But the 3D stuff was all ray traced.

Well these days most of the professional packages have a user interface mostly
designed by people who use it, because the evolution of the GUI has been gradual
over many years based on feedback from users and competition from other
packages. The problem is that this isn't true of free software, so personally I
think pov's the best option.
But Wings3D is cool too :)
Anyway, we've got way off topic so I'm gonna shut up now.
