The Live Event<\/h3>\n

I
\n launched this build to celebrate Halloween. Not because it is in any
\nway scary, but because it is dark. <\/p>\n

Hey, that’s as far as I go with
\nHalloween. \ud83d\ude11<\/p>\n

But I did add a twist for my planned live tour of 3 scenes.  The story line for the experience would have a beginning, middle, and end. It was not just about visiting and looking around.<\/p>\n

Scene  1: Start in Flynn’s Hideout. A wall is hiding the full city. I will
\nplay the music<\/a> because without Behavior Graphs at this time, I did not
\nknow how to otherwise time the wall to descend at the same time as the
\n“Tron” aspect of the song arrives. I invited folks to look at the
\nfireplace for something to do.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n

Tron arrival view. Notice the “Tron City” is an image on the wall.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n
<\/div>\n

Scene 2: Explore Tron city (The
\nGrid).  It’s really fun to turn your movement speed up to 2.0 and zoom
\ndown the main entry road.  I did it nearly every time I visited the
\nbuild while working on it.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Scene 3 (an actual other whole Hubs scene):  I switched scenes once everyone was comfortable.  <\/p>\n

The center building was replaced with a “5th Element” style duck (IYKYK),
\neverything now purple monotone for Halloween, and eliminated Flynn’s Hideout. The sky
\nchanged from black to a purple\/orange gradient. Inadvertently, the navigation mesh which I only flirted with in Blender, worked.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

The Bummer<\/h2>\n

Unfortunately,
\n no one who showed up for the Halloween event knew the Tron movies.  So
\nall of my work adding in references and allusions was for naught at the time.
\n\ud83d\ude14 Hopefully I’ll be able to show this build live to a real Tron fan someday!<\/p>\n

The Video <\/h2>\n

Because
\n I knew I was launching this space on October 31 at ~3:00 p.m., I
\nprepared all of my social media in advance of the event to be able to submit it to the show-and-tell Hubs Discord channel<\/a> for October.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
