There is a Problem with This Online Game Planning

"Why?"

Lin Yao was even more shocked when she heard Mu Wanqing's words than when she heard "The Witch" was leaked.

What does business mean?

Also put pressure on Linmu Studio.

As for?

Mu Wanqing explained to Lin Yao a little bit.

Then.

Lin Yao understood.

Motion capture technology is still a new industry in China... Overseas Hollywood movies and game masterpieces are widely used. Although it is also used in China, it is not very famous...

Lin Yao's own past life.

What really made motion capture technology famous in the film industry.

One is the famous "Final Fantasy: Into the Soul", a CG movie that lost money and made money, and used motion capture throughout.

The other one is the more famous "Avatar".

During the period, characters such as Lord of the Rings Gollum also used motion capture.

But the most famous, and the one that made motion capture technology shine, is "Avatar".

After Avatar.

Motion capture technology has completely entered the film industry.

It breaks the line between CG and live actors.

Special effects artists can give full play to their imagination.

Actors are also freed from the constraints of props and makeup.

This historic progress and breakthrough progress have brought another brilliance to the film special effects technology.

And here, although there is no movie like Avatar, there is roughly a similar development, but it is not as smooth and powerful as Lin Yao's previous life.

But the use of this technology in China... is very general.

Otherwise, classmate Chen Qiuwen's motion capture studio wouldn't go bankrupt...

At present, the domestic motion capture is barely decent for monsters, but for people, it can only be cartoon style, and it is easy to fall into the uncanny valley for realism, because the technology is not up to date.

But Linmu Studio... In motion capture, binding technology and motion fusion that determine the quality of animation effects are top-notch recently.

This is due to the fact that Linmu Studio has a powerful real-time engine such as the Blue Star Engine, and Lin Yao has spent a lot of resources for technical personnel to conduct in-depth research and development. The WYSIWYG convenience brought by the game engine, coupled with Linmu In the past few years, Linmu Studio has the ability of "virtual production" through intensive cultivation and pressure development in CG animation and games.

There is no need to endure the green screen, and there is no need to wait weeks or even months for post-production. All key decision makers collaborate on site to generate images in real time, which can be taken immediately and can be changed at any time.

In addition, thanks to Tuo Linyao, the character and scene art design of Linmu Studio is also top-notch.

As soon as the advertisement about the motion capture studio filmed by Luxiu appeared, the smoothness and authenticity of the characters' movements instantly caught the eyes of people in the industry.

It's completely different from the short films produced by colleagues outside.

The advertisement of Linmu Studio has achieved an unprecedented realistic virtual life, sweeping away the sense of isolation brought by the previous digital characters.

In the advertisement, the transformation of Lu Xiu from a real person to a virtual character is also very novel.

As long as domestic creators who have a little understanding of this aspect can see the technical strengths of this studio.

And to Shao Yuan, the person in charge of the motion capture studio, he is very frank...

In the face of other people's inquiries, I proudly introduced the technology I have accumulated here. In addition to conventional motion capture, I can also use the Bluestar engine to realize real-time interaction between live actors and post-production special effects. The engine technology can also perform real-time For environment rendering, the team can flexibly develop functions and plug-ins based on the Bluestar engine...

Originally, Linmu Motion Capture Studio's technical advantages in motion capture alone were impressive.

The fluency and authenticity of the characters' expressions and movements are beyond the ordinary k-anime.

Skins, character models, materials, lighting, and rendering are top notch.

The effect is stunning.

Many filmmakers with humanoid creatures in the movies were very moved when they saw them, and then asked the person in charge, and then checked Linmu Studio and Linmu Studio's previous CG works.

It became like this...

"Neuropathy."

After listening to Mu Wanqing's explanation, Lin Yao felt a little helpless: "Technology is just a tool for film narration. The core meaning of film is to use images to tell a good story. If you say it's a little short, just think that technology is useful." What's wrong?"

Mu Wanqing was also a little helpless when she heard the words.

"Okay, let Xiang Shaoyuan stop bragging, keep a low profile, and go back to the production team who directly contacted Linmu Studio, and say that Xiang Shaoyuan is exaggerating, and we spent a lot of effort on Luxiu's advertisement Come out, the cost is high and the time is slow, just highlight one we are just blowing..."

Lin Yao shook her head.

She bought this motion capture studio to serve the game. Although Xiang Shaoyuan wants to run the motion capture studio well, it is a good thing, and a good business is also a good thing, but it is necessary to know that the engine application part requires the technical staff of Linmu Studio.

If it is for the business of the motion capture studio, the game development of the entire Linmu studio will be suspended.

That's not worth the candle.

So it is definitely impossible for Lin Yao to let the motion capture studio take on so many jobs.

"In addition, let me review what work the motion capture studio accepts in the early stage. Try to accept some pure work first, and we are not specialized in special effects."

"good."

Man Wanqing nodded, agreed, and then turned to contact Xiang Shao Yuan.

Lin Yao bowed her head and continued to work on the script of "The Witch".

Not for a while.

Mu Wanqing came back again.

"This is a job offer Shao Yuan has received during this time."

Mu Wanqing handed a stack of materials to Lin Yao: "Also, he asked me to apologize for him, saying that I overblown..."

Lin Yao shook her head, didn't mind much, but picked up the information and read it.

Xiang Shaoyuan's starting point is good, and he wants to run the motion capture studio well.

It can only be said that the location is different.

There is no need to blame the other party.

"This won't work. It's low cost and I want good results. I want to eat ass."

"This doesn't work either...we've never done animal capture before, it's thankless."

"This is even more outrageous, one year? You want to make an all-CG movie for only 100 million, and you are a prince...forget it."

"...Oh? "Shadow"?"

Lin Yao watched, then suddenly raised her head, her eyes asked Mu Wanqing.

Mu Wanqing's long black silk legs wrapped in supple stockings moved uneasily, and whispered: "This is the movie adapted from our "Shadow" game, in which the director plans to use motion capture for the role of the female ghost."

"Wouldn't it be better to just find an actor with a dull expression?"

Lin Yao shook her head: "The biggest feature of the shadow is the reincarnation-type horror narrative structure, which allows the characters to gradually feel the approach of a certain power in the process of repeating the same scene, and makes the subtle changes in the repeated scenes intensify the feeling of ominous... But Forget it, if the director wants to restore the original sense of horror, let him do it, let the motion capture studio take over the job, we also have experience."

She handed the information back to Mu Wanqing.

Mu Wanqing took it and nodded: "Okay, I'll talk to Shao Yuan later. But Lin Yao, there is a problem. After "The Witch" came out, you said that we spent a lot of effort to make the advertisement of Luxiu. Yes, the cost is high and the time is slow, just to highlight a statement that we are just blowing... Isn't it self-defeating?"

"Uh, let's talk about it later..."

Lin Yao thought about it, but didn't think of any good solution: "At that time, we will also say that "The Witch" is expensive and time-consuming..."

"All right……"

Mu Wanqing could only nod.

"That's fine."

Lin Yao looked at the lady with black silk glasses and asked, "What do you want now?"

"no, what happened?"

"Then accompany me to the console product department to have a look."

Lin Yao glanced at the screen, and the lines of "The Witch" are almost ready.

Time to check out the console product department.

She stood up, took the documents from Mu Wanqing's arms again, put them on her desk, and then dragged her to the console product department.

The two took the elevator upstairs.

The host production department is not big, and there are not many staff members compared with the product department.

But the office area is really big.

Because the mainframe needs to be kept secret, there are only people from the mainframe product department in the entire office area, and they are not mixed with other departments.

Lin Yao just came to the host product department.

Bao Liangzhe, who was sitting near the door, stood up and said, "Boss Lin."

"Has the proofing host mentioned last time come out?"

Lin Yao looked at the somatosensory engineer who joined Linmu Studio by accident and is now the person in charge of the host product department of Linmu Studio, and asked.

Bao Liangzhe replied; "It's being tested, do you want to take a look?"

"En." Lin Yao thought for a while and nodded.

Upon hearing this, Bao Liangzhe brought Lin Yao and Mu Wanqing to the conference room, then went out to find the test engineer, and brought over the host sample.

This time, the host samples of Linmu Studio, whether it is the shell or the board, are all made by Keli Electronics Factory under Linmu Financial Holdings.

Secrecy is strict.

Few people know about this host.

As for the host prototype, the overall model is very similar to the Nintendo Switch.

It looks like a handheld, but the joysticks on both sides and the panels where the buttons are concentrated can be removed.

Lin Yao took the sample and played with it carefully.

Can't boot yet.

The software has not yet been designed, and testability analysis is still in progress.

So Lin Yao can only look at the appearance.

She lightly removed the rocker and button panels on both sides of the handheld... or the handle.

Mu Wanqing looked curiously at the handheld in Lin Yao's hand.

Both of them actually don't understand hardware.

Lin Yao is better than her, after all, she has played with this thing in her previous life.

But for Mu Wanqing, the concept of this handheld device is really novel...

"How? Is there a problem with the controller?"

Bao Liangzhe looked at Lin Yao who was repeatedly assembling the handle, he was a little puzzled, and asked in a low voice.

"I can't comment much on hardware."

Lin Yao is very self-aware.

"but."

Lin Yao picked up the mainframe sample in her hand and slowly pressed the handle down: "I have an opinion about the assembly of the handle. When the handle is assembled, let it make a clicking sound... This can not only remind players to install and fit It can also increase the gimmick to a greater extent, you can see if you can do it."

Lin Yao still remembers the crisp clicking sound of assembling the controller when Nintendo announced the Nintendo Switch, and the brainwashing effect of the propaganda is really strong.

"Click?"

Bao Liangzhe was stunned for a moment, then nodded immediately: "I understand, I will improve on this aspect."

He works in hardware and understands the impact of installation feel and sound on users.

"Well, that's about it. If there's more, I might not be able to make any comments."

Lin Yao handed the prototype back to him.

This is indeed his weakness.
