Pete assigned an employee to test the motion capture device, and when the employee took off his shirt, several people surrounded him to operate it, distinguishing a large number of data sensors and wires according to color and number, attaching the tiniest sensor to his face, and then attaching a slightly wider sensor to the neck, cheekbones, shoulder blades and other joints.

In the end, there were about 60 sensors on this person's body, and everyone found that the number of sensors in the head of the tester was dense, far more than in the chest and abdomen, and they didn't know what it was.

Pete explains: "Let's take a look at what kind of 3D model of a human face can be created with the accurate recording of 48 sensors! ”

With the help of the positioning of the camera and sensors, the employee made several facial movements, smiled, frowned, and smiled, and the character model on the computer recorded the muscle movements of his face in detail, and the virtual line characters showed a variety of different expressions.

Pete called up a sub-program, and it only took 10 minutes, and the avatar of the virtual line character was quickly covered with a layer of skin, still green skin, very similar to ...... Shrek!

And this monster Shrek himself can make the action of smiling and frowning, exactly the same as the action of the tester just now, the dimples on his face when he smiles are faintly visible, it seems that he only needs to make the most final rendering, and this monster that is almost indistinguishable from a human will come alive and be given human life.

Then there is the movement, the joint movement above the chest and abdomen of the examiner is very slow, waving and saluting. Touching the chin, the virtual character also makes a corresponding movement trajectory. With powerful calculations, each sensor records the positioning trajectory in detail. It presents the spectacle of synchronized movements between the examiner and the computer screen.

In Yang Yun's opinion, this is not a high-tech thing, he has seen virtual reality games, and this kind of technique in front of him is still a little naïve, and he has also seen similar equipment when filming "Cadillac and Dinosaurs", otherwise how did those dinosaurs come about?

However, Weta Digital is an independent intellectual property and has just taken the first step to achieve this level. Congratulations!

Luc Besson takes this technique very seriously, he has made black-and-white sci-fi films, crime thrillers, documentaries, and killer films like Leon over the years, "Resident Evil 1" is his first modern sci-fi directed, and it will also be his first use of computer special effects.

At this moment, he thought of many application methods and asked, "Is it possible for zombie dogs to do this?" We shot in Rottweiler on location. Then use computer effects to replace the zombie dog's skin? ”

"That's right!" Pete happily patted Luc Besson on the shoulder and said, "Luc, although the box office of my movie is not as good as yours, in the production of special effects for the movie. You've got to listen to me! ”

These two good friends joke with each other, and it seems that there are several problems in the movie. Only the Licker Evolution is the hardest to achieve, but there is always a way. All are confident.

This set of techniques, Yang Yun's mind moved. If you start with this set of motion capture, it may not take you 20 years, but it will only take 10 years to complete.

He's a time-traveler with a much higher vision than Microsoft, Nintendo, and Sony, so he can see how the technology will evolve in the future, and other game makers may not realize it until a decade later.

The way of cooperation with Weta Digital needs to be discussed in detail, this is a tug-of-war, and it is normal for everyone to want more of it.

The initial memorandum of understanding between the two companies is a 50% partnership, with Longteng investing $50 million to purchase a large computer fleet and sending programmers to participate in research and development to integrate the existing 3D modeling and rendering technology of the two companies.

In addition, this set of motion capture equipment and software allows Yang Yun to take away a set, and then share the source code after signing a formal contract, and the two sides shake hands amicably to celebrate the success of the cooperation.

The two brothers, Marcos and Eric, flew directly to Shanghai, Luc Besson and Yang Yun went to France again, and the filming of the film can almost start preparations, and at Yang Yun's insistence, Luc Besson has to return to China to pack and pack his things, because "Resident Evil 1" will be filmed in China!

Xiao Liangyu picked up the airport, arranged for someone to pick up several large boxes of luggage brought by Yang Yun, and asked with some curiosity: "Mr. Yang, did you dig up the treasure in New Zealand this time?" ”

Yang Yun smiled: "Of course it's a baby!" You will know what the road is when you see it, and I want to trouble you to help me find a suitable person! ”

After returning to Longteng's European R&D center and installing the motion capture software and equipment demonstration, Yang Yun introduced: "This set of equipment and software is only in the initial stage for the time being, and we will continue to provide subsequent versions of it to make motion capture as fast and accurate as possible." Now I'm going to ask you to help me find someone, preferably like Milk-Philips. ”

Xiao Liangyu was surprised: "Croatian soldiers? That Croatian parliamentarian? ”

Yang Yun smiled and nodded: "Yes, it is the one who is the prototype of the King of Fighters." But I don't think it's possible to invite him to help us, he's an instructor of the Croatian special forces. You can find someone who is about the same, preferably a retired senior special forces officer, and let him design a lot of modern combat moves for us, digging deep into this set of motion capture tools. ”

Xiao Liangyu thought for a moment and asked mysteriously, "Shouldn't designing martial arts be the main purpose?" ”

Yang Yun Ha laughed: "How did you become so shrewd?" Could it be that I didn't disguise it? ”

Xiao Liangyu smiled and said, "Design fighting moves, there's no need for such a big movement, right?" Besides, if you're so far-sighted, there's bound to be more to it. Don't let me guess......"

This sycophant ...... It's very comfortable!

Yang Yun smiled: "Don't pat me on the back, let me ask you, I have explained to let 1C have a good relationship with the weapon supplier, you don't seem to have done enough!" I'm going to hand you over a lot of war and shooting games in the future, don't give me the chain when the time comes, if I want to use an AK47 and it doesn't allow it, I'm not happy. ”

Xiao Liangyu hurriedly patted his chest and promised: "This is absolutely impossible!" Heavy weapons such as warships, submarines, and fighters may not be authorized, but guns, ammunition, and special weapons should be fine. ”

"No! Warships, submarines and airplanes have to be dealt with too! Yang Yun shook his head and said without refusal: "If modern submarines are impossible, World War II submarines must be authorized, even if they buy a whole decommissioned and scrapped submarine from Russia, they must get it." Suitable for carrier-based warship and aircraft carrier data, as well as fighter bombers, if you can't get it, how will you make a flight simulation game in the future? How to make a sea battle game? ”

Xiao Liangyu's eyes were about to fall: "Mr. Yang!" Arms trafficking is a crime! ”

Yang Yun said angrily: "When did I say that I was going to sell arms?" For example, in the case of submarines, the player takes on the role of the commander of an Allied submarine, lies in ambush near the supply lines of the Axis of Evil, blows up enemy supply ships with torpedoes, and maneuvers with enemy destroyers and anti-submarine aircraft. ”

Xiao Liangyu almost fainted, what Yang Yun said seemed to be very simple, didn't he just drive a submarine, ambush the enemy, launch torpedoes, dodge depth charges, and escape surrounded by enemy troops, he also wanted to get it.

But this kind of idea is really rotten street, any military fan may think of this idea, and it can even be extended to replace the tank battle in "Dune 2" with a naval battle, which is also a good game idea.

The point is, everyone will think about this kind of creativity, but whether it can be done or not, whether the game is fun or not, whether players buy it or not, and no one knows the way until it is made.

The submarine commander game that Yang Yun said is the template of "Hunting Submarine", but how can Xiao Liangyu know how high the status of "Hunting Submarine" is in the minds of game fans?

He only felt that every time Yang Yun proposed an idea for a new game, everyone had already thought of it, or everyone could think of it, it was the kind of creativity that was inconspicuous and didn't see any big selling points.

"Are you really going to do a submarine game?" Xiao Liangyu felt that this was a very difficult thing, and the technique was one thing, and the practical resistance was another.

Yang Yun nodded: "Of course, otherwise why would I keep letting you have a good relationship with the weapon dealer?" Guns and rockets and grenades are far from enough, this time you look for me to find a retired officer, you must find a famous unit, famous, and the bigger the network, the better, in the future submarine and carrier-based aircraft in naval warfare games, fighters and bombers in air combat games, these are up to you! ”

Xiao Liangyu suddenly felt so much pressure, let the Chinese go to ask for information on advanced foreign weapons dealers, hey, let's try it!

Yang Yun spent a week in Paris, visiting many European luxury car manufacturers and seeing the Dakar Rally warriors in triumph.

Normally, the Dakar Rally lasts for about a month every year, but this year, due to the turmoil at the junction of Algeria and Morocco in Africa, the organizing committee had to detour from Algeria to Niger for the sake of safety, and the trip doubled, taking a month and a half and traveling more than 20,000 kilometers to return.

The contestants are tired, dusty, most of the participating vehicles are in tatters, and there have been 4 accidents of overturning and death, 3 people died in two overturned cars in the car group, 1 death in 1 motorcycle overturn, 1 death in the RV heavy truck group, and 2 deaths in the RV heavy truck group, which can be called the most cruel Dakar Rally in history!

But the Dakar Rally is also a game for the brave, and more people are rushing into the ranks.

Shanghai GM team won the 15th place, GMC is worthy of the world's world-class pickup, long-term speed of more than 120 yards per hour, without car accidents, GM's modified pickup truck withstood the test of the Sahara Desert and the Gobi, so that many people feel that the opportunity has come.

Then take a look at the Great Wall Longteng team...... (To be continued......)
