Paging nexnox - please don't let us down

Seconded, I'm anticipating this build too!

I saw this on ebay, I couldn't help but notice some uncanny similarities to the Tron ID disc.

Will you be selling these when your finished making them ???

The Profiles is 10 inches in diameter. The toy is exactly 9 inches in diameter.

The toy is rumored to be cast from one of Quorra's disc.

There are 140 LED lights in the films disc.


That image of Jeff holding the disc is from the scene were Clu looks at Sam's life data. The blade did not activate. We only saw a series of lights around the disc in this scene. This was a feature of the lifedata mode. Who knows if the LED play used for the disc in this scene was the same way it was laid out in the discs with the activated blades on them.

The leds in that picture go ooOoOoOooOoOoOooOoOoO

This was just posted today on the official Tron FaceBook Page:

The light discs that were created for TRON Legacy consisted of 134 LED lights, were radio-controlled, and were attached to the suits with a magnet.

They don't name a source for that info, so take it for what it's worth. The magnet thing is obvious, as you can see the magnets on the prop. As for the radio-controlled bit... I wasn't aware of that previously.

"NEXNOOOOOOOX… Where are you now?!"

 

[Megatron]

I hope he is ok

He did update this thread in post #133, saying he was busy. He's probably busy with a paying job.

Hello, 1st Time poster... I noticed someone ask whether or not the inner 4 LEDs are ever lit in the movie. I don't know whether it was answered or not, but they are lit when the ID Disc is used for checking a program's identity and previous history as shown when CLU check's Sam's disc....

Wow, I just came across this thread looking for Tron related threads. And that Identity Disc looks amazing.

Is there any kind of an update to this, or did Nexnox drop from the world?

Hi all,
I've just been looking through this thread with avid interest and I have to say I'm V V impressed. I've modded a few discs myself and would love to make a more screen accurate version. I have a problem that I need help with.

So here it is:

Good News:
Found out a collegue at work owns a CNC routing machine which he's offered to let me use for nothing (yay!!)

Bad News:
he needs me to provide the file and I have no experience with any 3D modeling software at all (C#*P!!).

Can anyone help? This is a rare opportunity for me and I would be eternally grateful.

Is there any updates on this build?
Was there ever any electronics developed for the prototype that I missed?

Just wondering.

Re: TRON LEGACY: Identity Disc Progress Pt.2

That is some amazing work! With the right toys, one can create just about anything!

Cheers!

I havn't seen an update till you just posted. I checked out the YouTube vid, but noticed it was posted there in 2009 :confused

I'm going to assume he gave up or didn't post the rest of the build on here.

I have been inspired to do one myself though. I have found a kind soul in the TheMuffin who is drawing up the CAD files for three different disc types. I'll post a progress thread in the next few days (under: INT: Tron discography project_The evolution of the Identity Disc).

 

[YenChih Lin]

AFAIK Nexnox is one of the industry guys who actually did the Green Lantern physical ring and he told me that he's being busy - but that was also a long time ago…

 

[propmaster2000]

I think I read somewhere that he was working at ISS for a while.
Is their someone here that works there and knows him, who can get some updated info. on his disc and post it here?
That would be great

[LadySythe]

Have to say... I WANT ONE! lol It'll go awesomely well displayed with all my lightsabers. I wonder how this project looks in person...

 

[Bowelrock]

All the work done on this disk was at Studio Art & Technology. My guess is he's no longer on the job there, or he's to busy.

 

[UnholySpectacle]

I hope sombody with a CNC setup can make some screen accurate discs one of these days. It is sad to see a project start and then just vanish.
