Message: [QUOTE="AnonymousCookieMonster, post: 88960, member: 3229"] The CGI for the trench run was obviously wireframe and likely coded in BASIC, capturing the various frames ([I]which were slow as balls to calculate on early 8bit hardware 3D Demos[/I]) and used as a presentation rather than replacing most of the screen. Other than the presence of modern hardware ([I]well, laptops and computers[/I]) Wargames and Hackers would probably be in the same vein, where it's a set-piece and not doing heavy lifting on the screen itself. Yeah obviously rough around the edges and quite primitive, although some of the tech was quite advanced for the time a lot of Tron's original style was a mix of what they had to do for capture and getting the look/feel among dozens of layers of work to make. Using something that wasn't [I]quite[/I] ready but pushed for advancement in CGI.

But i did rather enjoy Reboot, so i like some of that fruity conjecture. Though I'll agree each decade of CGI up to 2000 had their own look feel and jankiness to them. Though Jurassic Park and Terminator 2 did the best jobs in my mind. [/QUOTE]
