Sadly, MAGi/SynthaVision (yes, I keep writing it different ways... so did they) didn't really go on to do much after Tron. A short film for SIGGRAPH. A test with John Lasseter at Disney. They tried established a VFX office in Hollywood, but it didn't pan out.
Their SynthaVision technology would eventually be sold off to Lockheed Martin and become the foundation of their Interactive Solids Design software, and the rest was sold off to a Canadian production studio and more or less vanished.
