Xinjin Cheng...... Or Makoto Shinkai, he put down the papers in his hand.

"Hoo ......"

He let out a sigh of relief.

After his previous expedition to a large eastern country, he said goodbye to Pharaoh, and he finally chose to resign and do what he wanted to do.

Yes, he's going to animate.

Brother Cheng, who accepted the invitation of Mori Xia, began to embark on the road of animation production.

Then, out of nowhere, his phone rang.

I've just moved here, who will call?

Taking the phone, he said in half-baked Chinese: "Hello." ”

"Ah, Brother Cheng!"

"Teacher Xia Sen!"

The person on the other side of the phone was Mori Xia.

"Are you in some big country in the East now?"

"Hey!"

"I just got the news from there, and I was really shocked. I thought you'd come back in the years. ”

Makoto Shinkai is now going to a big eastern country, as if someone had applied for a job before the Spring Festival, and Sen Xia was really shocked after knowing that Brother Makoto was now in a big eastern country.

"There are still a few months left for the Chinese New Year here in a large eastern country, and now it is enough. "Brother Cheng is very humble.

When Senxia held a conference, he ran from the mud to a big eastern country, and Senxia's original arrangement was to let him come back after the year, but Brother Cheng himself was a little unbearable.

Senxia hadn't had time to care about Brother Cheng before, but recently, Senxia also had some free time, and while on vacation in the Lighthouse Country, Senxia also learned about the movements of his employees.

Then Senxia found out that Brother Cheng had come to a big eastern country at this time.

That's why Sen Xia called to offer condolences.

"How is the environment on the side of a certain eastern country?"

“...... The people here are quite powerful. ”

Maybe Brother Cheng from another world line has a different view of a certain eastern country, but on this world line, Brother Cheng was frightened by them.

People here have a kind of motivation for work, maybe they will work overtime like Neon Gold, but between the two, there is a complete difference.

"What about yourself?"

"Hey, my side of the story...... I'm working on a background technique. ”

With that, Brother Cheng set his eyes on the computer over there.

What is in the computer is a photo, and Brother Cheng is trying to find a way to process the photo at this time.

Backgrounds are crucial for animation.

But the background is also sometimes cheap.

Before leaving Pharaoh's control, Brother Cheng once thought about making an animated short film or something by himself.

If it weren't for Senxia's invitation, he might have really done it.

And Brother Cheng and Sen Xia have already revealed that he may have to start his own company in the future.

In the mud bombardment, job-hopping is often regarded as a big rebellion, and employees regard the company as their own family. So on the mud bombardment side, if a game producer of a game club wants to leave, it will become big news.

But Brother Cheng has his own ideals, and he has a father who is engaged in real estate, so Brother Cheng has confidence.

Of course, he thinks that his career is his own, but it has little to do with his family, but his identity is here, and he will look at things differently.

- Well, so Brother Cheng also has the literary and young diseases of the rich and noble, and it is very serious, the feeling that men and women are entangled together, but they just can't go together...... Well, "Wenqing" likes this kind of thing.

So when he joined the company, Brother Cheng once said this to Senxia, Senxia said that he didn't mind, and said that he supported Brother Cheng to have his own business, he could become a shareholder, and Brother Cheng could also directly control the subsidiary that Senxia opened at that time......

"New technique?" Sen Xia originally just wanted to make a phone call to ask about Brother Cheng's situation, but he didn't expect that he seemed to have heard something very subtle.

What is Brother Cheng going to do here?

"Hey, new technique. Brother Cheng said, "I inspected the production of the blue cat before, and I found that the background of their works is too simple, I think even if they use photos as the background, it may be much better than the simple hand-drawn mode, and then I thought that some software can indeed add special effects to the photos......"

Brother Cheng was just the germ of an idea before.

But after coming to a big eastern country and seeing the production situation here, Brother Cheng had a new idea.

One of the least laborious ways to do this in the background is to take a photo of the real world and then add a filter to it and use it — as some animations do.

However, this is rarely done in ordinary animations, and it is only done in certain animations with unique characteristics.

And speaking of which, I have to talk about the second method of making animated backgrounds.

There are not many purely imaginary backgrounds in the animation background - even in some stream-of-consciousness works, the architecture in them may be the embodiment of the so-called "postmodern art" of a certain master.

Therefore, in many works, the background is actually drawn according to the photo, some are painted directly, and some are modified and recolored on the animation using a special "rotoscoping" technique.

It is precisely because of the blueprint that the background in many works can also find corresponding places in the real world, and many otaku otaku go to the mud bombardment "Holy Land Tour", in fact, to see these filming locations.

The blue cat is a low-cost work, pay attention to how fast and easy to save, after Brother Cheng consulted with them, he got the news from the personnel over there - they don't have the time to paint the background according to the photo, and since they are depicted according to the photo, why not just use the photo?

A word wakes up the dreamer.

yes, wouldn't it be great if the photo could be modified with a special technique to make it as expressive as the animation?

"Filters" are such things that can make a photo very dreamy, and Brother Cheng has worked this.

Now that he made it, he felt a little interesting.

"But...... I always felt like I was still a little bit worse. Brother Cheng told Senxia about his recent experience on the phone.

"Still a little short?"

"Hey, although there are still a lot of things that need to be modified in the whole technology, I think it can be applied in general...... Except that something feels wrong. ”

"Could it be a line problem?"

In real-world works, the lines are very complex, so when passing the rotoscoping, you need to clean up some unwanted lines and then recolor, which is actually a very good practice.

"No, my photo processing method is slightly different from my previous techniques......

"Hmm...... That's right!" Sen Xia over there suddenly patted his head, "Brother Cheng, you try to replace the sky in the photo!"

"Sky?"

"Hey, why don't you try it, deduct the whole sky, and replace it with a blue sky and white clouds that you drew yourself? If you just make a sky, there shouldn't be any problem, right? In terms of time, I don't think it will consume too much. Senxia said.

"Well, indeed. ”

Blue sky and white clouds or something, if you know how to use the software, it's very simple to do practical things, even if you can't draw, you can actually make similar pictures.

Brother Cheng is already very proficient in image processing software, even if he doesn't paint, just use software, Brother Cheng can make a very good image of the blue sky and white clouds.

He was still on the phone, but Brother Cheng had imagined that scene in his mind at this time, and he found ...... It seems to be really good!

"By the way, Brother Cheng, what is the effect of your new technique?"

"Hi. After hearing Sen Xia's voice on the other side of the phone, Brother Cheng said without hesitation, "The effect of the new technique is not bad, if it is improved a little, I think it may be better than the ordinary hand-drawn background." ”

"Hmm...... I'm in the Lighthouse Nation right now, so you'll show me the effect on your side later. It just so happens that Kamikage and Musashino will collaborate on a Three Kingdoms anime in the future, so if your new technique can come in handy, you might want to give it a try. ”

The Blue Cat theatrical version on Shangmeiying's side is actually more to let the new Shangmeiying employees run in with each other and adapt to the new production form. And the highlight of Shangmeiying's side is actually the Three Kingdoms series that cooperated with China and Japan later.

That's the most important thing.

"Hey!"

Hearing what Senxia meant, Brother Cheng didn't know, Senxia wanted to carry himself?

Of course, he was immediately perked.

"Yo Si. Senxia's voice continued to come from there, "Then I look forward to seeing your results." ”

"Hey, wrap it up on me!"

Hung up the phone, Brother Cheng returned to the computer in a comfortable mood.

Brother Cheng was just trying before, but after stopping at Senxia's words, Brother Cheng felt that he might be able to make some adjustments to BJ.

He started to create an animated sky background, and then he started to cut out the photos he had modified, replacing the entire sky.

The moment he replaced it, Brother Cheng felt that the photo in front of him seemed to have become completely different.

A feeling called "two-dimensional" seems to come to the face.

The picture of Brother Cheng experimenting with new techniques is a picture of the grassland, and I don't know why, Brother Cheng found that he just likes this kind of green prairie.

He heard that there is an HLBE prairie in a large eastern country, and Brother Cheng yearns for it, and he also thinks about waiting for a trip there next year.

"Hmm...... It's really different!"

After the sky was replaced with a blue sky and white clouds made by himself, Brother Cheng immediately found that the whole picture gave people a completely different feeling from before, and this feeling of fusion seemed to make the taste of the whole picture rise a lot in an instant.

At this moment, Brother Cheng suddenly realized that such a thing as background seems to be able to do great things.

"Perhaps, the background is not just something that simply exists, but something that can be more profound......"

Brother Cheng had an idea in his head.

In the eyes of many people, the background may be the kind of thing like a "set board", without which the story can still go on, and there is nothing to deal with casually in the background.

But at this moment, what came to Brother Cheng's mind was a different vision and thought.

"Maybe it's not optional. The background is sometimes extremely important to the storyline, but perhaps the scenes themselves can be more ...... Artistry?"

If the scene is dead, the scene itself is likely to be more time-consuming, labor-intensive, and even more expensive than the characters and story.

But that feeling if the scene is interesting enough...... Could it be different?

Brother Cheng thought about it, and he opened a game.

"The Crown of Sin".

Once he entered the game, he read his save.

However, Brother Cheng did not advance the plot or read the story, but paid attention to the scenes in the game.

The background of this game is very good, whether it is the RPG version or the GAL version, it can be said that these aspects are very good.

Brother Cheng is playing the galgame version now.

At this time, Brother Cheng noticed that the background of this game is indeed amazing.

"If you think about it this way, there are a lot of works that pay attention to the background...... Ah, I made a mistake, I should have found some to refer to before I came!"

It doesn't matter, I still have a lot of friends in the mud bomb, so it's good to have them mail it over......

"Yo Xi, so be it. ”

Brother Cheng turned off the game, and then continued to think about the situation on his side.

The work and topic of "Three Kingdoms" do not have to be different in a certain eastern country in the mud bombardment, especially the Romance of the Three Kingdoms filmed in a certain eastern country, which caused a sensation in the mud bombardment.

In the mud bombardment, there are also a lot of animation works related to the Three Kingdoms, in addition to the Three Kingdoms and the true Three Kingdoms in the game, there is also the so-called Three Kingdoms without misery...... Ahem, no, it's the Three Kingdoms series painted by Ji Lian Three Kingdoms and Yokoyama Guanghui, the Devouring Heaven and Earth series and the Overlord Continent series on the early red and white machine, which are also very well-known works.

Of course, the image of the Three Kingdoms characters in the previous mud bombing works was not very certain, but with the emergence of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms of a certain eastern country, many of the later mud bombardment works basically can't escape the shadow of this work, and there are several works in the Three Kingdoms series produced by glory, and their character images are simply directly copied from the character images in the TV series version - no way, it's too classic.

So Brother Cheng also understands this work.

He closed his eyes and began to sketch out the scene in his mind.

Not...... Very good indeed.

Perhaps, you can continue to give it a try?

But where to try it?

By the way, what kind of blue cat, isn't it going to be a theatrical version? Can I discuss it with here?

......

Brother Cheng's background, some of which are indeed photo modifications, and it is said to be an exclusive technique.

But...... A photo PS the filter effect, and then change to the blue sky and white clouds of Makoto Shinkai, and you will find ...... Well, it's very honest and good......

Although the blue sky and white clouds are a symbol of Africans (not really), I have to say that this thing is really subtle in the animation.
