Thanks for stopping by! I make Blender & VFX tutorials on this channel, so if that interests you, consider subscribing!
that crowd sim is so damn effective
NICE TO SEE THIS MOVIE GETTING RECOGNITION AGAIN
Really nice work Austin 👍
Crazy, but I found your channel while looking up Pwnisher challenge videos and I am now a huge fan! Keep up the great work! Also has been a great resource in learning Nuke
Love the Motorcycle 🏍️
What an amazing idea with crowd!!!!
I was so hoping someone would do this. This looks awesome!
Thanks! I think there are a few Tron renders in the works from what I've seen.
@@AustinThomasFilms I'm making one
Incredible stuff.
Great work, great idea.
I also had this idea. Very well executed man good job with your submission
Beautiful 😍
This looks amazing, But I would suggest going with richer looking buildings.
This was my first idea. After seeing yours, I am glad I didn't try. Great work!
Thats cool, nice work!
Love it! We need a full TRON light cycle battle arena game.
There was actually a minigame in GTA online called Deadline where you used the Tron bikes to eliminate other players, it was definitely as fun as the movie made it look
@@AustinThomasFilms yes, even tho it's not very popular
Ahhh! I had the same idea....
The difference is that you project is really awesome.
Great work!
I appreciate it! But don't worry, it sounds like a lot of people are doing Tron so I have a feeling there will be a lot.
Awesome animation! Your Showreel is also very well made
Thank-you!
pretty cool animation bud hope you're winning 👍
sick
wow.
nice work a tron
Bro you already did that so cool
Thank-you!
That’s awesome. How did you replace the truck with your own bike? Man, I’m getting so frustrated by blender. 2D is so much easier to make things for beginners.
I get it, there's definitely a steep learning curve. I just parented my bike to the truck and made the truck invisible in the viewport and in renders. Click your vehicle and shift+click the truck, then hit ctrl + p and select "object (keep transform)". That will parent it to the truck.
To make the truck invisible, go up to the top right of the outliner panel and under filters, click the camera icon (this will allow you to disable objects in renders). Now you should see an eye icon and a camera icon next to the truck in the outliner panel. Disable both of them to make it invisible in the viewport and in renders.
If I didn't explain this well, just google how to parent objects and how to disable objects from rendering. Hope this helps!
@@AustinThomasFilms you can delete the truck and parent the bike to the circle
@@surathsaha7776 Thanks, that's probably a better way
🔥🔥
great work bro!)
Thank you!
nice, my suggestion is, make the impact of the bike little bit more, when it fall back down after ramping up, it feels too smooth, need a little bit of kick
This better be in the top 100. It's so cool!
Thanks! That means a lot!
Crazy good!
Looks great! you really captured the look and feel of the movie, i love how you did the crowd too good job!!
Thanks! I was definitely looking at that scene for reference a lot
amazing job man!!! kudos!
amazing!
Amazing detail. Only complaint is the vehicle curve/gravity. It goes down slower than it comes up and feels a bit floaty. Doesn't have a weighty thud to it like I would expect. Still love the style though!
Crazy creative, good job! Love how you make "low poly" assets look really high quality with some tricks.
Thank-you! I tend to shove that stuff in the background and put it out of focus so it works
Awesome
Thanks!
Great job!
Thanks!
awesome, I knew someone was going to do one of these, this looks incredible man!
Thank-you! I think it's a popular idea, I know there are some other Tron renders in the works as well
great job bro!!
Thank-you!
This looks super clean and the animation is awesome! Great render! Hope to make mine a lot more refined like this haha
Thank-you! I rushed to make mine, you still have quite a bit of time to refine it.
Nice work
Thank-you!
That landing needs work, but the shading is sweet.
i love the trails ... how did you manage that??
It's a particle emitter attached to the back of the bike, and it's instancing an emissive plane I made. I had to mess around with the particle settings a lot so they shoot out in a straight line more or less.
@@AustinThomasFilms ye :) i have been thinking about making one of these for myself lol but the light trail always stopped me from trying
@@Ponlets You should! I decided to go with particles. The other way I thought about doing it was animating the bike and then creating the trail as a piece of geometry that somehow gets revealed as the bike drives. But there are pros and cons to both.
dam bro i wanted to do exactly that for mine
Don't worry about that - I've seen some other Tron shots in the Discord and at least one that is fairly similar to mine. So just do what you want!
as you said in a reply you parented your bike with the car .but for me i m using a car and i was thinking about to add some drift and in using rigacar addon and for that to work i need a follow path constraint which a empty is not. if you can help me with this i would be soo glad thankyou in advance 🛐🛐.also im a beginner
This looks awesome! I love the animation it's very fluid and natural! My only comment is the crowd just looks like a bunch of noise or jittering polygons rather then a crowd. Also I feel like the background could use some more population with assets. Otherwise, it looks great!
How did you make the trail ?? Looks awesome 🔥🔥
Thank-you! The trail is just a particle system coming off the bike. It's instancing a flat 2D plane with an emissive material.
I had to scale the emitter down in the Z axis and turn off some physics settings to get the particles to fire in a straight line like that.
Thanks for sharing 🙏
damn it , I mean well done , I had the same idea.
It's okay dude don't let that stop you! There are going to be lots of Tron bikes, I've seen some other ones in Clint's discord.
I also had the same idea...
Even the bike the other bike crashing...
I've been struggling to create the Trails, I did by using Particle System, the alternatives was to use Mesh with Armature or a paid Addon.
I wish i could partici in this challange...but i am bigginer don't know anything
Keep watching tutorials and learning stuff, you'll be impressed how fast you improve!
The look of the render is cool, but I think you need to work on the weight and gravity of the bike. The physics look a bit off to me.
Excellent but if I were you I'd spend more time trying to simulate the weight of the bike. It feels stiff.
how can i participate?
Look up Pwnisher on CZcams and watch his "New 3D Vehicle Challenge" video, he'll explain everything about how to get started and what to do.
@@AustinThomasFilms Thank you Austin, good luck with your challenge
Modelling is great but the jump felt a bit "stiff". No, I couldnt have dont it better myself.
im not an artist but just as a viewer I need to say, I don't feel the sense of speed in this one, don't ask me why but it just feels slow, everything else looks fantastic
Dude. I love it! a small pointer though that I hope you can tweak if possible. The particle simulation in the movie looks like a liquid being spilt, you can see it here: czcams.com/video/SqSuRdkglxM/video.html
