In the tron revision the rules are broken and the traditional Light Cycle transforms into a acrobatic aircraft. Elements of the original Syd Mead design were manipulated to form the plane to keep the tron "look"
As this is an animation and composting test all elements were done in Maya and can be animated. The trail is an animated sweep along a motion path. I put together the render passes in Photoshop and did a few extra glints here and there.
Let me know what you think.
