Chapter 155
If it weren't for the fact that the West had taken the lead in the evolution of modern culture, it would have been entirely possible for many modern clothing to bring more Oriental styles. However, even so, with the gradual revival and development of the domestic economy, many various revived national cultural elements began to appear in the epidemic.
At this time, the revival of various traditional cultures was in full swing, such as Hanfu, which was simply overly respected and sought after. But in fact, in Lin Shu's view, ancient costumes are very tasteful and more beautiful than modern clothes, but they may not be suitable for modern people to wear.
At its simplest, such clothing is neither convenient to wear nor suitable for doing things.
The revival of national elements is a matter of time, so when the master planner of the Demon Realm proposed modern clothes in Chinese style, he did not refuse. Accordingly, however, he also raised two points of note.
First, since it is a modern garment, it cannot be designed as a wide-sleeved robe, because this kind of clothing is not suitable for the lifestyle of ordinary modern people, and the appearance does not look lively enough. The second point is still a repetition of the old saying - the clothes must be designed to match the habits of wear, and fashion such as bikinis or erotic lingerie is not considered at all.
There is a reason why Lin Shu made such a request, which involves the establishment of a virtual platform in the future. However, the employees of the planning department did not pursue it so much, and only thought that it was because of Lin Shu's integrity.
But in any case, after the first design of the two clothes came out, Lin Shu still put forward some opinions after reading it.
The materials of the two costumes produced by the art team are all based on the material templates made of real fabrics. The former is a crimson velvet, the style looks a bit like a cheongsam or a small dress, but the style is an off-the-shoulder skirt with a shawl, and in the middle is a bodice embroidered with a golden peony embroidery on silk satin, with a velvet skirt. Although it is a skirt, the sleeves are only slightly wider than the normal straight sleeves by one or two times, and the skirt is only a knee-length skirt, not reaching the ground, covered with a short fur jacket of the same color, which looks full of Chinese style, but extremely modern.
The latter is a white suspender cutie with a layer of silver-white honeysuckle embroidery, a white pleated skirt on the lower body, a string of rings hanging on the waist, and a gauze shawl on the outside.
The essence of these two sets of clothes is, to put it bluntly, "change" and "subtraction". On the basis of ancient costumes, the Western-style materials and some design details are integrated, and the long skirt is shortened and the wide sleeves are shrunk while maintaining the original structure and style.
In fact, this design is quite plain in nature, especially for the costumes in the game. This simplicity is for the overall design - because most games nowadays will have a lot of cutouts on the costume design, adding metal ornaments, and intricate accessories and articulation points.
Because Lin Shu demanded "conforming to reality", the artists could not add too many metal ornaments to the clothes in the first place, and these clothes would inevitably show a bit of simplicity. And these simplicitys can only make up for it with embroidery and dyeing.
For this reason, just one red and white, light and dark lines, were played by the artists in a big trick. The two techniques of blending and gradient were played with by a group of people in the costume.
Lin Shu looked at the design draft for a long time, and then asked the art to change a few places, the first is to add disc buckles and flower buckles in several key positions, but to change the collar on the red dress from the unchanged straight collar to a hollow transparent peony pattern, and insert solid peony embroidery at intervals. At the same time, in order to avoid the feeling of being top-heavy, the artists also put a lot of effort into the shoes and socks of the 3D models, but the hairstyles are a little simple.
In this way, the troubles that bothered everyone before and made people feel that they were not gorgeous enough have really disappeared.
These two pictures were released later, and they really attracted a lot of people's attention. Although the styles of the two pictures are completely different, I don't know why they are both loved by many people. Because the design of the clothing itself is not complicated, many people have expressed their desire to make something to wear.
After a while, the votes of both sides chased each other, and it was about a week before the votes began to slowly widen.
Contrary to Lin Shu's expectations, this vote ended up with a white dress victory, Lin Shu originally thought that the former would have a much higher number of votes, because after a few years, this complicated and heavy, gorgeous and exquisite style was obviously more loved by everyone.
However, this incident also made Lin Shu realize that even the public's preferences will be different depending on the time period, and obviously at this moment, the elegant and dreamy style is more popular with players.
So in this case, the costume style of the Demon Realm was also decided.
Although the voting activity is over, the atmosphere of Xingze Online Game official website has been heated up. Just because of the picture of this person's costume, the official website of Xingze online game has more than two million registered members, and it is obvious that many people are looking forward to the art style of the new online game.
As for the interior of Xingzawa, after the art style was finalized, various programs also began to run at high speed. After announcing the design results, Lin Shu deliberately discussed it with Zheng Fangcheng, but he talked about the new game character.
"In terms of character design, there are only a few artists in our group, and the workload can definitely be handled, but there may not be so much inspiration. It just so happened that I scanned the future platform's personal design library a few days ago, and found that there are a lot of eye-catching designs. Brother Zheng, you go back and talk to the art team, let them collect the character designs of the character library, choose the appropriate costumes on it, and then talk to the author about the authorization...... Any author who agrees to the license will be given a small license fee and told them that their design will be used in the game. Not only that, but the description of the outfit using their design will also include their ID. If more than a certain number of titles are licensed and adopted, then we will design an NPC in the game based on the creator's prototype......"
Zheng Fangcheng suddenly showed a stunned expression.
Lin Shu was not surprised by his consternation. Maybe everyone except Ju Mingfeng thinks that his business purpose is to make games, but in fact, making games is just some of the pre-actions he made in order to establish a virtual trading platform.
For virtual trading platforms, virtual game items, various software tokens, and even various drawings, designs, copyrights, patents, ...... And so on and so forth, they should all be traded objects.
The future platform is the front version of such a virtual trading platform, but it definitely does not have one percent of the coverage of the future virtual trading platform, Lin Shu is just taking this opportunity to try to take a little step forward in the future.
So he said, "One person counts short, and everyone counts long." Graphic designer is one type of job, and fashion designer is another. We tried to have the former do the latter's job, not impossible, but there was bound to be a difference, so I hired a costume designer to do the correction. But our game isn't really a fashion brand, it requires far more clothes than the average fashion designer can produce in a season, and even the best designers have limited inspiration. ”
"In that case, why don't we take advantage of the favorable resources we have at hand? Our future platform has tens of millions of registered users, of which more than 13,000 have published their own styling designs on it, and there are more than 3,000 3D versions. An ordinary person must have a few wonderful inspirations in his life, even if the design is a little inappropriate, but that inspiration is something we can grab, as long as we let the professional adjust it. Lin Shu said this, paused for a moment, and then continued, "I was thinking about the surrounding things before. We are also considered to be in the entertainment industry, and now that we are developing to this point, it is almost time to go out of the periphery. ”
Zheng Fangcheng was not surprised by this matter, and said: "I have also considered the surrounding things, but I don't have a good idea of what the surrounding areas are. Mr. Lin, you already have an idea? ”
Lin Shu said: "Yes." I mean, we go out of luxury peripherals. ”
Zheng Fangcheng: "!? ”
Lin Shu's words were too strange, a game website wanted to sell luxury goods, which made Zheng Fangcheng a little confused about what he meant.
He paused for a moment and asked, "Luxury...... Does it mean a puppet or a figurine? ”
Lin Shu shook his head and said, "I'm referring to the high-end limited edition clothing, the kind with hand embroidery. Or an artificial intelligence electronic pet. Or something like a mobile phone handheld. ”
This is also the reason why he asked the artists to pay attention to the style and structure of the clothing itself when designing the clothing, so as to ensure that it can be worn by real people, and why Lin Shu just asked Zheng Fangcheng to contact the author to buy the design, because he wanted to concentrate on the good designs, but through the guò game to expand the value of these designs, and finally make them into high-end clothing.
Zheng Fangcheng opened his mouth wide, and said after a while: "Forget about clothes and pets, things like mobile phones, we don't have such hardware technology at hand, right?" ”
Lin Shu laughed and said, "We don't have such hardware technology at hand, but there are many people with similar hardware technology. On the contrary, our software technology is something that many people don't have. ”
Zheng Fangcheng looked at him for a long time, slowly chewed Lin Shu's words, and then understood what he meant, and then asked, "Then which one do you fancy to?" ”
