In recent years, the three major IPs that Blizzard relies on to become famous have shown a decline.

StarCraft 2 was born at a tragic time when RTS-like games faded and MOBA-like games swept everything.

"World of Warcraft" is already 15 years old, and even if Blizzard's life-sustaining ability is first-class, it is already the age of online games.

The performance of "Diablo 3" is even more messy.

Of course, it is still an absolute masterpiece compared to its contemporaneous ARPG products.

But everyone knows that the actual opponent of Diablo 3 has always been only one, and that is the god-like Diablo 2.

Compared to Diablo 2, which had a groundbreaking bunch of designs, Diablo 3 is a lump of ...... Eagle Country style stick country kimchi game.

Of course, this is normal.

Since the disbandment of the original Diablo 2 development team, Northern Blizzard, the original Diablo has died.

So, to ensure the success of StarCraft Online this time.

Blizzard used all its resources, and the number of people in the animation department skyrocketed to 300 people.

With the help of Qin Shi Huang's art development tools, these 300 people are enough to exert the working ability of 3,000 people.

Jiang Yuan also obtained part of the rights to StarCraft Online, so Shensi Group also allocated a huge server farm to Blizzard as a render farm.

In this case, after almost a year of hard work by the development team, the CG effect on display was extremely impressive.

Blizzard Studios movies are always unexpected.

As a super IP, the new work of the "StarCraft" series is a new type of game that combines the nature of MMO and RTS, and the protagonist of the promotional video is not Kerry Gan, nor Renault, or even a human.

It's Zeratul, the soul of the Star Spirit.

This is clearly a dangerous move.

Zeratul is a popular tragic hero character in the intergalactic series.

In Interstellar 2, he ended up dying to save Archbishop Atanis, who had been corrupted by Aemon, leaving countless players furious.

In this interstellar sequel, Blizzard, which has always liked to educate players, actually made an exception to fulfill the player's wish and filled this sinkhole.

Zeratul is resurrected again.

When Zeratul got back on his feet, countless fans of the interstellar series cheered.

"For El!"

"Long live Uncle Ze!"

“My life for aiur！”

"What Zeratul to watch!StarCraft is a romantic drama movie at all, okay, I want to watch Renault's Love of Worms! Bone wings or something, it's exciting to think about!"

"The version of "StarCraft Online" is actually out of CG, and Blizzard's official website announced that it will be launched before the middle of next year!"

"Oh, Too young, too simple! You know, Blizzard is famous for skipping tickets, Diablo 3's first public game demo was on June 28, 2008, and the actual launch time was May 15, 2012. You feel it. ”

"RTS is dead, and StarCraft has a bleak future. ”

Of course, there are also many netizens who don't play StarCraft.

"Your focus is on the game, haven't you noticed,This is the first VR version of the game CG?"

"Yes, yes, I finally found out that I was the same, for Blizzard, who has been working on movies for 10 years and 9 years, CG is the ontology, okay!

"Yes, I'm an artist at a CG production company, and although I can't move the camera position, I can turn my head to look in any direction at will, and every angle is full of details!

The most peculiar thing about the VR version of the movie is that you can turn your head to see other angles, unlike the director-limited perspective in traditional film and television.

This way of viewing the film offers a novel experience, but it also poses a huge challenge.

For example, funding.

Even if the traditional camera can view the 180-degree angle of view directly in front of the camera, the VR version has to add the right behind, above and below, and the cost directly becomes 4 times the original.

In fact, in order to reduce the cost of ordinary CG, it is impossible to show a 180-degree perspective all the time.

The VR version, on the other hand, can't predict which direction the viewer will look, so all objects in the scene must always be rendered.

As a result, money is burning.

This is also the reason why other film and television companies dare not get involved easily, VR movies are simply burning money.

However, this kind of promotional CG that can be viewed up and down, left and right, also brings a benefit, if you use a VR glasses to watch, then the content you watch is likely to be different each time!

In other words, VR movies are not like previous movies, which are over and over once after watching them, it is worth watching again and again!

After "The Return of Zeratul" was launched, film and television studios quickly discovered this trend, and many viewers watched it several times.

In other words, if you make a VR movie, the audience is likely to watch the movie many times in order to watch different visual effects.

The better the visuals, the more effective they are.

Since everyone sees "The Return of Zeratul" differently, various versions of the interstellar promotional video began to circulate on the Internet.

This is the one who watched it with VR glasses a few times, adjusted his own perspective, and shot a traditional CG that he thought was the best.

All of a sudden, all kinds of art bigwigs fine-tuned versions flew sideways.

A professor at Huaguo Film and Television Academy even began to use the promotional video as the future trend of VR movies to explain the technical points to students, and at the same time take students to analyze how to adjust the angle to achieve the best composition.

A game promo has become a classic teaching material for VR movies?

Blizzard was very satisfied, and it was far more than they imagined the hype would be.

......

......

Zhang Yun held Jiang Yuan, and the two walked into the Siyawan Hotel together.

Walking past the chamber music fountain, the crystal lights hanging in the hall are dazzling, and even the floors and walls are wiped to reflect the bright light, and the atmosphere is full of luxury.

Every man wears a well-tailored suit, and every woman is dressed up, stepping on glamorous heels and behaving elegantly.

Lin Ruqing silently followed, while Wu Gong and another bodyguard watched vigilantly.

Ostensibly a drinking party is taking place here, but in fact it is a closed summit for the energy industry.

As photoalgae are gradually put into trial, the technology exhibits incredible photoelectric conversion rates and surprisingly low power generation costs.

A large number of international oil majors and power companies finally can't sit still.

Therefore, the State Administration of Huadian and Huaguo Biopower Corporation jointly organized this fair, inviting oil, power and other energy giants from many countries to participate.

The aim of the conference is to maximize production capacity and improve the well-being of all mankind, so that all people can use cheap, non-polluting electricity.

Well, the above words are, just listen to it.

In fact, it is China that gives these international forces a little benefit, slightly appeases and appeases them to gain a few more years of development time, and by the way, increases China's strategic oil reserves.

As one of the only two companies with photoelectric algae fertilizer technology, Shensi Group was also invited to drink some soup.

Li Qingyu is still in the Eagle Country and has not returned, and Jiang Yuan can only make a trip in person.
