My Animation Era

There is a little trivia.

In fact, as early as a hundred years ago, the animation industry had used the prototype of motion capture technology, namely the image tracing technology "Rotoscope".

To this day.

As 3D animation technology becomes increasingly mature, motion capture technology has become an indispensable part of the animation industry.

More and more professional animation studios, including animation companies, have begun to recruit motion capture technicians and set out to form their own motion capture teams.

This is actually an industry trend.

As early as more than ten years ago, when motion capture technology was not commercially available on a large scale, few animation companies actually adopted this technology.

But with the development of motion capture technology, especially after the success of motion capture technology in film and television dramas, games, military industry, medical care, industrial production and virtual idols, the situation is different.

The success of motion capture technology in film, television dramas, games and other fields is enough to prove the potential and prospects of this technology.

So after this.

More and more large-scale commercial animations are trying to use this technology to bring audiences a unique viewing experience.

Mature foreign animation giants basically maintain a professional motion capture technology team.

Unfortunately, Wanbao does not have it.

On the one hand, this is because Wanbao has risen so quickly. Even the professional soundtrack team has only been established in the past two years, let alone the motion capture team.

The second reason is because of the cost issue.

Motion capture technology mainly serves various large-scale film and television productions, and even popular games.

Don’t those low-cost film and television dramas, including unpopular games, know the benefits of motion capture technology?

Obviously, they know but they can't afford it!

This thing is valuable.

To be honest, the cost of raising a motion capture team should not be much worse than raising a CG special effects team, maybe even higher?

Xiao Guo's proposal is very reasonable.

Wanbao Animation really needs a professional motion capture technical team to serve animation production.

But can it really be afforded?

This is no joke, a motion capture technical team has at least dozens of people.

Considering the application scenarios of motion capture technology in the domestic animation industry, these people spend most of the year playing idle with their mobile phones.

unless……

Wanbao is willing to accept external orders?

“That’s okay too!”

"Our motion capture team will give priority to serving the company when the company has work. If the company has no work to do, it will go out to take orders from other companies."

Wanbao Vice President Lao Zhang feels that although there are some difficulties in supporting a motion capture team, it is not insurmountable.

As long as Gu Miao is willing to relax restrictions and let the motion capture team go out to take orders from other companies, let's not talk about how much money they can make...

At least you can be self-sufficient!

If the motion capture team can be responsible for its own profits and losses without the company having to worry about it, then it can be maintained.

"I think so too."

Ma Kui nodded and said: "Motion capture technology is indeed important. Our company is large enough to support a professional team."

Then build one!

Since both Ma Kui and Lao Zhang agreed with this matter, Gu Miao thought about it and nodded immediately to give instructions.

From now on.

Wanbao Animation has established a professional motion capture technology team to be responsible for solving the company’s internal motion capture technology needs.

In order to maintain a balance of payments.

On the premise of ensuring that the company's internal projects are given priority, the motion capture technical team can go out to take orders and provide motion capture technical services to other companies for a certain fee.

This can be considered a compromise.

no way!

The application scenarios of motion capture technology are so rare that relying solely on the business provided by Wanbao’s own brothers, the motion capture team may not even have enough to eat.

If you want to survive, or even live well, you can only go outside to take orders.

…

After deciding to establish a professional motion capture team, Gu Miao asked Lao Zhang to search for talents related to motion capture technology in China.

This matter cannot be rushed.

After all, motion capture technicians are not cabbages, nor are they the kind of low-quality talents randomly recruited in the talent market.

It would take at least half a year to fully form a team.

After leaving this matter to Lao Zhang and asking him to pay more attention, Gu Miao turned his attention to the upcoming "Lightning Rush 3" which was about to be completed.

The first round is almost over.

Relying on the upgraded Fengying SV and Leiling SV with outstanding performance, Lingfeng Lingyun led the national team to successfully advance out of the group stage and enter the knockout stage.

In the 16-to-8 match, the national team met the German team, which was second in Group C and was beaten by the United States.

This is an absolutely powerful enemy!

Group C was rated as the absolute "Group of Death" by various media during the group stage. The German team is also recognized as a strong opponent that cannot be underestimated.

In this battle, Ling Feng Lingyun almost lost.

If it weren't for the evolved version of [Blade Overtaking] at the last corner to overtake, the national team would have almost stopped in the top 16.

certainly!

The national team, which stumbled through this level and defeated the German team to reach the quarterfinals, also received many interviews and reports from the media due to its outstanding performance.

"We have only one goal!"

"champion!"

When Ling Feng and Ling Yun were interviewed, they made no secret of their desire for the championship, which was ridiculed by many American players.

"With us here, your Chinese team is destined not to win the championship!"

"You don't think that if you beat the German team, you are qualified to compete with the American team? What a joke!"

As soon as Ling Feng Lingyun's interview came out, everyone thought it was a joke.

Although the Chinese team defeated the German team, it was obvious that the strength of the two teams was about the same, and Lingfeng Lingyun only had a "narrow victory".

Looking back at Team USA...

They won the first place in Group C in the group stage, but they crushed the second-place German team to qualify. The strength of the two teams is not at the same level.

"We'll see!"

"The more arrogant they are before the game, the more they will be slapped in the face after the results come out!" The audience snorted, not taking the American team members' ridicule to heart.

The American team is really strong!

But other than Lewis, the U.S. team doesn’t have any particularly bright star players.

The brothers Ling Feng and Lingyun, even if they are not as good as Louis alone, they are definitely stronger than Louis together.

Don't ask why...

It is these twin brothers who, through the game against the German team, have reached a strange state of "you have me, and I have you".

Through Ma Xiaoling's description, the audience roughly understood.

The Lingfeng and Lingyun brothers who have reached this level can achieve the effect of "1+1\u003e2" after entering this state in the arena.

This should be considered a breakthrough!

If it weren't for the pressure from the German team, Ling Feng Lingyun wouldn't have realized this strange state. Speaking of which, the game of 16 advancing to 8 was far more difficult than the game of 8 advancing to 4.

Because the opponent who scored 8 points and 4 points was Argentina.

As a remote control car powerhouse in South America, the Argentine team is quite good. But in front of the evolved Ling Feng Lingyun, it still looked inadequate.

The national team easily entered the semi-finals.

With the end of another game, the opponents in the semifinals were finally announced.

Semifinals, Chinese team VS Yuguo team!
