Hrmmm... You can't take graphics directly from the Matrix movie itself (or from someone who did that). However, I'm sure there's a lot of fan art around (most of which you probably can take). As for stuff from the "matrix" (i.e. the real world to us), there's bound to be plenty of sites that'll have pictures of signs, buildings, people, etc. all free for download. Try a gogle image search and see what you come up with. Good luck!

Are "In the Matrix" and "In the Real World" titles of games or movies or something? Because, if not, your post doesn't make any sense to me. If they are, then you cannot use artwork from someone else's work. That's theft.

Do you even know Is it freedom? Or truth? Perhaps peace? Yes? No? Could it be for love? Illusions, Mr. Anderson, vagaries of perception The temporary abstracts of a feeble human intellect trying desperately to justify an existence that is without meaning or purpose. And all of them as artificial as the Matrix itself although only a human mind could invent something as insipid as love. You must be able to see it, Mr. Anderson. You must know it by now. You can't win. It's pointless to keep fighting. Why, Mr. Anderson? Why? Why do you persist?"

The matrix, popular 3 part trilogy, reworking ancient hindu beliefs with a shiny new pelt for the viewing masses. (url="http://"http://www.whatisthematrix.com")www.whatisthematrix.com(/url)
By the way Smith was the true star of the series...So Says The eLL'.

For the most part fan-fictions taking the form of written works and games are ignored for the sole purpose that fans would do it anyway, and digital mediums are simply new avenues of showing their appreciation of the series. Its really not a detrimental practice. The major caveat don't repackage the movies.... d'uh.

The full CD features a futuristic char set, you might find it somewhat useful for the 'desert of the real'. My advice is to find very normal people sprites, businessmen and women in suits and trenchcoats, and minimally edit them adding sunglasses and other hints to make them standout as main characters/npcs.

{ edit: Did i mention giving all of the sprites a pale green tint }

It is highly likely that you can find some compatible sprites, see the fans who make assets for the sims, they build lots of everyday modern items and such.

As for reproducing the matrix effect, just render some text going from different shades of green, light to dark. Have them travel different distances on the screen.

I've personally looked around for some good matrix sprites i haven't found any, :: shrug ::
for the agent posession use a kill and launch.

{ edit : Street Fighter Syndrom n.
A condition derived from years of video gaming, when fingers move at high speeds in short intervals the right hand is conditioned to act after the left, thus unconciously transposing letters of simple words such as 'the'. So named for Capcom's Street fighter series which introduced the control schematic of the left hand performing a directional motion and the right hand jumping in at the end to define the move with an action. NOTE: It doesn't officially have a title but I've narrowed my suspects and after much intro-/retro- spective thought, I'm pretty sure that's the diagnosis. }

Be very careful who you start calling names. This forum has members from many countries, from many walks of life, and from many age groups. We do not all share the same experiences. I will do my best to read your poorly written posts, but before you call me and others "dumb*****," look within. That's twice now that I have had to edit flames out of your posts. Consider yourself fairly warned.

Edit: Posting a reply to yourself under a different name from the same computer, Mr. id#xx.xx.xxx.xx, was not too smart either.

I know this is a bit off topic, but RD, you have to see "The Matrix"... It's a great movie! (The second and third ones weren't so grea though... less plot, more high-tech Neo-beats-up-50-guys scenes... : ).

Anyway, to be more on topic, if you have a digital camera Yeroc, you can take some of the pictures yourself (of this world, or the "matrix" ).

P.S. For those that want to know, (url="http://"http://www.thematrix.com")www.thematrix.com(/url) will tell you all you want to know about the Matrix.

If you steal their artwork, however you do it, you are still breaking the laws.

Nono RD, I meant pictures of the world around us (or what the movie terms "The Matrix," (an illusion in which the evil machines have trapped us). Taking pictures of the Matrix movie is just as illegal as downloading someone elses. Pictures or stealing pics of the Matrix website. Yeroc can however, take pictures of normal buildings and sign, people, etc. and then modify them to look like objects from the Matrix (it wouldn't be that difficult, the "Matrix" is supposed to emulate the civilized world in 1998...).

Anyway, sorry for the confusion...
Now, take a little extra time off from moderating and find two hours to watch a very good movie (namely "The Matrix".

EDIT: I always forget something... :

Ah, I see. It's beginning to make sense now. Thus Yeroc's "and in the real world." Thanks for clueing me in. If "The Matrix" had been identified as a title at the start, perhaps the confusion would have been minimized. I know several difinitions to "matrix" without a capital M, and none fit well in the original post.
