damn this is nice. Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay more time invested into these models and animation than I would ever dream of spending on mine. Liked the video.
Almost too good, the tron cabinet in this video looks better than the real thing, and we are talking about one of the most beautiful cabinets ever created...
Absofuçkinglutely incredible. I got goosebumps watching it. Your attention to the finest detail is just mindblowing, also the glows, camera work, zooms and fades. That was worth the 10 months to create - well done!!
You know, the ironic thing is, those were my two favorite arcade games as a kid. What a coincidence. I actually bought that battlezone game for $300 in '99. The math box went south on it 3 days later, but for three days I got to show every kid in the neighborhood what a cool game it was as they abandoned their Playstations for this old beater. I left it in the house when I moved. :-( Anyway, everyone seen the new Tron 2 teaser trailer?? Looks intruiging.
Coming from another pro 3G modeler/animator (and owner of a TRON arcade machine), I have to say...
BRAVO! Stunning job on the modeling. Excellent camera motion paths, and GREAT texturing. I have no idea where you found such mint images to texture map the model with. I love the way you ended it with a grid fly-over, reminiscent of the film.
No. MC Hammer never wore parachute pants (you may be thinking of the low crotch 'can't touch this' pants - NOT parachute). Parachute pants were early to mid 80s - completely gone by 1989, and definitely none in the 90s. The 90s featured jeans and flannel, grunge & alternative rock. Very early 90s had some pop-style hip hop, but quickly went the way of Pearl Jam, STP, Nirvana, etc. That was early 90s - the last innovative music. By late 90s it feel to rehashed blah we've had the last 10 yrs.
Tip: On the coin-op, you can skip levels by switching it to Service Mode after starting a game. The Player 2 button will skip to the next level. Switch back to Normal mode before the game ends. The switch is located in the cabinet coin door frame).
Simply beautiful - your animation is moving and great looking. Did you need to use a layered shader to create the highlights for the blacklight effect on the Tron cabinet?
Breathtaking. I especially love the flyby and lightcycle sequence at the end. Brings back memories. I used to just look at that cabinet as a kid when I didn't have quarters.
The only thing that could have topped it is maybe a Discs of Tron environmental.

Was this showreel poetic or what? I love the lightcycle sequence towards the end.
This would make nice MAME game profile animations. That also means you need to make more ^_^ Extremely talented, Paul - I LOVE IT !

The people don't like wearing parachute pants. That would be early 90s ala MC hammer. 1989 earliest. Some vintage yuppie larvae.
