I thought about making it exactly like it was in the movie, but my creativity got the better of me and I really wanted to explore what I could create with this new app. I may make an original-style cycle at some point just to do it, but this is what you get for now. As for "v4" in the name, that's just what I'm calling it.

When I made it to this point in the process, I was pretty happy with the design. I tweaked a few details and I started experimenting with rendering possibilities and edits in PSP and Photoshop.

I grouped all of the parts with colour, so they're easy to change.

At this I was done with the cycle. I played with animation: a floating/flying camera, cycles speeding around, leaving trails, Recognizers hovering and Tanks firing... but after I spent a lot of time structuring a 30 second animation, I found out my PC would take more than two days to render it.
