In the planning department, the fat man sat in his seat with a bitter face. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

He even admired himself very much, only he knew how much perseverance it took to get up from the bed this morning, insist on washing, going out, eating breakfast, and coming to the company.

The aches and pains are not ordinary sports strains, but after a lack of exercise and slacking off for several years, I was suddenly pulled to play a ball, swam for a second time, and was forced to do three sets of 60 sit-ups last night. When I woke up in the morning, I found that there was no place in my body that was not uncomfortable, and every muscle and tendon was rising, even the simplest action could bring bursts of pain.

What's damn is that Liu Kewei is still gloating at his embarrassment.

"Yes, you're paying off your debts, you know? Who made you lazy for so many years, you still have to thank us, if we hadn't forced you to exercise, you wouldn't have made such a big decision. ”

"Uncle Duan, has the NPC art resource demand table been completed?" Min Zhumei was asking. She received a message on RTX, turned his head and said to the fat man.

The so-called art resource demand table, unlike the various configuration tables mentioned above, does not directly affect the game process in the game program, but the internal demand table between the planning department and the art department within the R&D team. The main role is to sort out the list of all the art materials needed in the game, and mark the production needs of the planning side one by one, so that the art department can draw various 2D and 3D art resources according to this table.

The NPCs of Holy Grail Studio are divided into four categories: system NPCs, quest NPCs, monster NPCs, and scene NPCs. System NPCs refer to the NPCs proposed by the system planning, including various merchants in the game and related NPCs of various functional activities, mission NPCs refer to the plot-related NPCs that provide handover tasks in the plot, monster NPCs, as the name suggests, are the general term for NPCs that require combat actions, and scene NPCs are some NPCs designed by level planning as decorations in the scene.

Quest NPCs and most of the monster NPCs in the four categories were born from the plot of the game, and it was up to the plot compiler of the otaku fat man to put forward the first-hand production needs. The previous demo version was due to a shortage of artists, but only symbolically put forward the art requirements of several system NPCs to apply, resulting in most of the NPCs in the demo version growing into a virtue, and it is obvious that it can no longer be so indiscriminate in the production of the alpha version. Therefore, the NPC art resource demand table has been put on the agenda, and it is natural to hand it over to the fat man to sort out and summarize.

The fat man didn't have the energy to respond to Liu Kewei's ridicule, and used RTX to send the completed NPC art resource request form to Min Zhumei. Next, Min Zhumei will split each NPC on this demand table to the corresponding employees of the art department to complete, which belongs to the scope of the main beauty's authority, and the fat man is not interested or qualified to ask.

Ten minutes later, Min Zhumei led a tall little girl to the planning department, the little girl was almost as tall as Min Zhumei, wearing a pair of glasses, and her white appearance looked timid.

"Who is in charge of the NPC Art Resource Demand Form?" Min Zhumei glanced at the empty position of Xu Zhucu, and turned to Cao System to ask.

"Uncle Duan is in charge, is there something wrong?" Cao Shi turned his head and glanced at the fat man, and replied with a smile.

"It's nothing, there is a concept painting that has a little problem with the description of the appearance on the art demand form, so I brought her over to communicate directly with the person in charge of the needs of your planning department. Min Zhumei waved her hand and said to the little girl, "I still have something over there, if you don't understand anything, just tell Lao Duan." ”

After saying this, Min Zhumei turned around and left in a hurry, without dragging his feet at all.

The fat man opened the NPC art resource demand form on his computer, beckoned to the little girl, and said, "Come on, which NPC has any doubts about the description of its appearance?"

The little girl walked to the side of the fat man in the aisle with a red face, bent down and pushed the glasses on the bridge of her nose, approached the monitor and stared at the table, and said softly: "I am in charge of Han Xiangzi's original painting ......"

The fat man operated the mouse wheel and found the description of Han Xiangzi's appearance.

"This is it, this 'lake blue Tang costume'...... I wonder if it looks weird?" asked the little girl, hesitantly.

Before the fat man could speak, Cao System next to him couldn't help but interject.

"Let Han Xiangzi wear a Tang costume? Uncle Duan, what do you think, it's too subversive, this will definitely not work!"

Since the transfer of the dialogue system, Cao Gong likes to find a small mistake for the fat man from time to time, of course, it is all in a joking tone, and the fat man is not annoyed, he looks at him with a smile, and asks rhetorically: "Old Cao, what do you think the Tang costume looks like?"

"Isn't it the kind of clothes that Andy Lau wore in the Spring Festival Gala?" Cao Zheng stretched out his hand and gestured, "The buttons are buttoned like this, in a row, right? How can you let Han Xiangzi wear this kind of clothes!"

"What you said is a flag costume, not a Tang costume, thank you. The fat man replied calmly.

Cao Shi paused for a moment, opened the browser and searched for the keyword "Tang costume" with Baidu, and then pointed to his screen confidently and shouted: "Uncle Duan, come and see it yourself, Baidu Encyclopedia says so, this is Tang costume." ”

"That's Baidu Encyclopedia is wrong," the fat man asserted unashamedly, turned his head to the little girl in the art department and said in a kind tone, "The so-called Tang costume, I refer to the 'head veil hat, round-necked robe', but I am afraid that you will not be familiar with it when written like this, so I directly say Tang costume, which refers to the meaning of 'Tang Dynasty male clothing'." ”

"The reason why some people say that 'flag costumes' are 'Tang costumes' is a saying from overseas, because foreigners usually call Chinese settlements 'Chinatown', and even the clothes worn by Chinese people have become so-called 'Tang costumes', which is actually a false rumor. The fat man continued to gush, "It's not strange that foreigners can't figure out our national culture, and the people of our own Great Celestial Empire can't learn to refer to deer as horses, and insist on holding a 'flag outfit' and saying that it is a 'Tang costume'." ”

After all, the fat man also used Baidu search to find a picture of his satisfactory "Round-necked robe", pointed to the monitor and said, "The Han Xiangzi I conceived is wearing such a set of clothes, do you think it's inappropriate?"

Cao Zheng and Liu Kewei came over to take a look, nodded and stopped talking.

"Then I understand, thank you for your explanation. The little girl from the art department said with an embarrassed smile.

"You're welcome, you can come to me at any time if you have any questions, or just leave me a message on RTX, and I'll reply as soon as I see it. The fat man replied humbly.

As soon as the little girl left, Min Zhumei sent a file package on RTX to Cao System, and Cao System opened it to see that it was the original painting of more than a dozen system NPCs, so he beckoned everyone to evaluate it together.

"New art resources have been sent, you can come and see them and give more opinions. ”

As a result, nine planners, including the executive planner, crowded together on the edge of Cao Zheng's seat, examining this batch of original paintings one by one. Everyone praised or depreciated, and the discussion was intense, but only the fat man frowned and said nothing.

"Uncle Duan thinks what is the quality of these original paintings?" Liu Kewei noticed the attitude of the fat man and asked curiously.

The fat man limped back to his seat, shook his head, and said, "It doesn't feel good, maybe my eyes are too picky." ”

"What's wrong with your eye?" Liu Kewei said dissatisfiedly, "Shouldn't you compare the level of Japanese animation with the original paintings in our games? Of course there will be a gap! You have to base yourself on reality, and this is how our domestic art industry is based." ”

The fat man sneered at Liu Kewei's words with disdain: "That's because you haven't seen a domestic master, that's why you have this wrong perception." ”

"How many domestic art masters have you seen?" Liu Kewei retorted unconvinced, "You don't play as many games as me, I don't believe your vision can be better than mine!"

The fat man pointed to his nose, put on a rare serious expression, and said seriously: "I'm a member of Crazy Town, and any two of them can kill our original paintings in seconds, do you believe it or not?"

"Are you dreaming?" Liu Kewei smiled disdainfully, "What is 'Crazy Town'? I haven't heard of it at all, don't talk about me, you ask Lao Cao Xiaoshe if they know." ”

Hearing this, Cao Zheng and She Guankan each shook their heads and spread their hands, indicating that they didn't know anything about this term.

Memories of ten years ago are slowly coming to mind, and one of the greatest sorrows in the world is being silently annihilated in the long river of time. I think of the days when I used to squander my youth and ideals, and I think of the group of crazy people who inspired each other to take originality as the highest goal...... The fat man gritted his teeth and began to explain word by word.

"Crazy Mancho is a website from 2000 that used to be home to some of the best writers, artists, and game critics in the country, but unfortunately it's been down for a long time. ”

"The best writer, artist and game critic in China?" Liu Kewei frowned tightly, "Who gave the definition? Why don't I know? If nothing else, just say game critics, you can give me two examples." ”

The fat man took a deep breath, "Zhu Jiayin of "Popular Software" and Luo Siwei of "Popular Game", you should be familiar with these two magazines, right?"

These two names have been printed on the page of the catalog of these two magazines for a long time, Liu Kewei took a look, he really had an impression, and the authoritative position of these two magazines in the domestic game media is beyond doubt.

"What about the art aspect, do you have any works for us to see?" Cao Zheng assisted on the side, "Let's get to the point, let's see what you said, 'The level that can kill our original paintings in seconds'." ”

The fat man nodded, didn't say much, directly opened Baidu pictures and entered the search keyword "blue bird's virtual image", and then opened the first picture at random, signaled Liu Kewei and Cao System to come over and take a look, and then turned the pages back one by one. Liu Kewei and Cao Zheng's eyes immediately widened.

"Wait, isn't this the Japanese cartoon Fullmetal Alchemist? What are you doing with this, it's obviously not a domestic work, right?" asked Cao Cheng in surprise.

The fat man shook his head and said: "Do you know what is called a homo work? These pictures are all from a domestic homo game called "Blue Bird's Virtual Image",Although it is a "Fullmetal Alchemist" fandom,But these pictures are all drawn by domestic artists themselves,100% original,Can you see any details difference between the original work?"

Coincidentally, Cao Zheng and Liu Kewei honestly shook their heads together and denied that these pictures are definitely not inferior to the originals in terms of composition, painting style or fullness of details, if they didn't know that the fat man is not an empty mouthful of nonsense, they really can't believe that these paintings are actually from the hands of Chinese people.

The fat man switched to Baidu search again, entered the keyword "complete CG deconstruction", and then clicked on a URL.

"The Imaginary Image of the Blue Bird was produced by Chris, who is also one of the main concept art for the game. Now this site belongs to another member of Crazy Town, Ling, who has a lot of his original CG here. ”

With the mouse operation of the fat man, the pictures of Ling's comics "Super Alloy Society" and "Red Leaf Glass" were displayed on his monitor, and at this time, Liu Kewei and Cao System were completely attracted by these pictures, and the admiration in their eyes could not be erased.

"Really, since there is such a talent in China, why are those damn cartoons on TV still so shoddy!" Cao system complained.

"It's a pity that the art style of our game should be based on realism, and although these two CG authors are more capable than I expected, they are not suitable for our project. Liu Kewei made no secret of his covetousness, "But if we can dig them into our company, then our art department will be ruined!"

"Save it, you can't dig these two. The fat man ruthlessly poured a bucket of cold water on Liu Kewei, "One is an associate professor at a university, and the other is also a well-known author in the comics industry. ”

Liu Kewei pursed his lips and said disapprerovingly: "I don't think there is anything in this world that can't be bought, the difference is only whether you have enough chips." Maybe the strength of the company really can't afford to invite people now, but when our project is launched, maybe there will be an opportunity to cooperate with them!"

———————— divider of the fifteenth appearance————————

Crazy Town is officially here, sprinkle flowers!

Unfortunately, the captain who went to be an associate professor has been missing for many, many years, and I was very upset to arrange for her to appear in the story without asking her permission first.

By the way, I strongly recommend "The Virtual Image of the Blue Bird" and Ling's comic works such as "Super Alloy Society", "Red Leaf Glass", etc., welcome everyone to search and understand, in a word, it is really not that there are no good authors and good works in China, and many times it can only be said that it was born at the wrong time.
