Here is my rendition of the TRON Legacy movie intro. About 6 days total work, with many layers between After Effects and Cinema 4D. Overall I am very satisfied with it and if this doesn't reveal that I am a TRON nerd, then nothing will :)
Cinema 4D:
-Created one grid of buildings using textures I shot in Chicago, cloned it 6 times and modifed their positioning to give the effect of a full city.
-Beauty pass, for building textures, roads, lights, and cars.
-Outline pass; a preview mode render in 1080p, and modifed the colors in After Effects
-Window Pass; a luma pass for window textures overlayed in After Effects.
After Effects:
-Grid lines: used Trapcode Particular for the lines and animated them along a camera path matched with the speed of the main pass in C4D.
-Transition effects between beauty pass and outline pass, glows and other color effects.
-Final Composition

I am very interested on how you did this. I am taking an after effects class and I would like to do the tron intro as my final project. Would it be possible for you to send me a tutorial on mainly how you did the tron logo and how you did the reflection in the windows?
ReplyDeleteI didn't do this intro with just After Effects, I used Cinema 4D for the bulk of the animation.
ReplyDeleteI did the beginning grid lines and final compositioning in After Effects.
