Tron Light Cycle Design
-
I have been following Daniel Simon's career for a while now. I own his book Cosmic Motors which is nothing short of brilliant. Here is a link to his blog: http://cosmic-motors.blogspot.com/
He is the lead vehicle designer on the upcoming Tron Legacy movie as well as the upcoming Captain America and an Alien untitled prequel.
Here is a short film Disney put together where he talks about the light cycle design.

fabulous imagery, i havent seen much on legacy yet, but i noticed they've given the bikes more real-life physics. What i loved about the original was the impossible right hand turns, it just felt much more like how a computer would handle such an event. Still the design looks very nice and im looking forward to seeing this sequel/reboot
