Which figure represents the CGI proportion in Tron: Legacy?

• A. 70% CGI.
• B. 100% CGI.
• C. 90% CGI.
• D. 50% CGI.

Answer: (C)

The main idea here is understanding how much of a film’s visuals are created with computer graphics versus captured in real life. Tron: Legacy is renowned for its overwhelmingly computer-generated look, especially the digital world of The Grid. The environments, vehicles, light cycles, and many action sequences are built in CGI, giving the movie its signature high-tech, synthetic aesthetic.

Actors were filmed against greenscreens or in controlled environments, and their performances were then integrated into the CGI worlds. In addition, some characters and effects were created digitally, including younger or alternate versions of characters through CG and related techniques. Because these CG creations dominate the visuals—while there are still some live-action moments—the CGI portion is best described as around 90%. It isn’t 100% because there are real-world elements and practical effects present, and not as low as, say, 50%, because the film relies far more on digital imagery than on traditional filming.
