Chapter 224. Motion capture technology
After confirming the idea, Xu Rui quickly completed the storyboard of the last episode.
This anime will be shown until April, similar to the last point in the story, which is the season of falling flowers.
Next,Xu Rui's work focuses on two main things,The first is the production arrangement after the phantom animation,"Classical Literature Department Series" will only end in January at most, including the revision of the CD, in December of this year,Xu Rui must decide on the animation that will be produced later,If nothing else,It should be played in July。
The second is the game production of The Last of Us.
The development of the game is still in the early stages, Xu Rui came to the level where Hatsune Games was in charge of the development of the console game, and the staff were busy dressing a person in a dress full of small white spots.
"Boss, you're here."
Huo Luofei stood next to the complicated machine on the side, saw Xu Rui, and said hello.
"Is this going to be motion captured?"
Xu Rui has a general understanding of this set of equipment, this is a motion capture equipment, as long as the actor wears this dress, he can let his movements be captured in the computer, and after debugging, this set of actions can be added to the model and become part of the CG.
This is the technical support provided by Suoren Mutual Entertainment, which is more accurate than that used in the movie.
"Good work."
Xu Rui met Li Zhen of Suo Ren Entertainment, who was presiding over the construction of the motion capture environment.
"It's nothing, I'm looking forward to the game right now."
Li Zhen knows Xu Rui well enough, and he doesn't have the previous arrogance, but takes the initiative to learn Xu Rui's game design ideas.
"What is this?"
Xu Rui looked at something like a helmet with a camera on it, a bit like the kind of portable camera that only shoots his own face.
"This is a facial expression capture device, which is the latest product of our development department, and other development groups have no projects that want to use this for the time being, so I will use it here to test."
Li Zhen explained, and then put on his helmet.
It can be seen that on the computer on the side, with Li Zhen's wearing, a human face also appeared, which looked ordinary and was consistent with Li Zhen's expression.
"Human expressions are very subtle muscle movements, and in the past, film special effects were usually filmed by setting capture points on the face, but recent technology has been developed to capture facial expressions directly through the shooting technique."
With Li Zhen's words, the faces in the computer also spoke, and their expressions were exactly the same as Li Zhen's.
"There are a lot of plots in 'The Last of Us' that require the characters' expressions to change, and I think this thing should come in handy."
He made a few more expressions, and the face in the computer also faithfully reflected Li Zhen's appearance, vividly.
"That's amazing."
Xu Rui praised, looking at the helmet, he suddenly had some inspiration.
"Speaking of Mr. Li, is this helmet itself necessary, can facial expressions be extracted directly through the camera? Also, this capture technology should be able to capture the movement of the body directly through shooting, right? ”
"Huh?"
Li Zhen was a little strange, he looked at the helmet.
"It should be possible to extract expressions directly through the camera, this helmet is mainly for synchronizing the motion capture system, after all, the expression will be more realistic when doing some movements, as for motion capture, it can only be said that it can be captured, after all, the camera can only shoot things within a certain range, and it is okay to move your arms and shake your head, but more is limited by the venue."
He was a little surprised, because capturing the action through the camera was actually a project that Suoren Mutual Entertainment was still secretly developing, and they were going to add some living room entertainment functions including somatosensory capture and VR to the follow-up machines of the SN4 console, and there were also some fitness sports games and horror games developed at the same time.
But Suoren Mutual Entertainment uses dual cameras, mainly for motion capture, and it also has to be matched with special remote control devices, so as to achieve the perfect game effect, the kind Xu Rui said, is a very basic capture technology.
"That should be fine, Mr. Li, can you help get one of these devices?"
Xu Rui was very interested, which made Li Zhen not quite understand.
"I'll go back and tell me, if it's a junior device, it should be fine, but what are you going to do with this?"
"Well, an attempt."
Xu Rui smiled and did not explain in detail.
......
Sichuan Shu, the land of abundance, is a city where even the air is filled with the smell of hot pot and chili peppers.
In an ordinary residential area, one room has closed curtains and heating, no lights are turned on, only the bright light of a computer screen shines in the room.
The room has a messy bed, pillows and quilts, bookshelves full of boxes of comics, games, and animation CDs, animated posters on the walls, and a take-out box of fried chicken and various Coke bottles piled up on the floor.
In front of the computer, a woman squatted in a chair with a baggy shirt with a view of smooth shoulders and neckline, and cotton shorts underneath.
She was typing frantically on the keyboard with both hands, and in the middle of the screen, there was the reply screen of the A2 forum.
"You don't understand the ideological connotation that the "Classical Literature Club Series" wants to express at all, and you know that the sugar is candy every day, this animation is not a simple campus love animation, and the elaboration of the gap between geniuses and mortals contained in it is the core ...... of this story."
She typed extremely fast, and she typed a long list of them, clicked send, and breathed a sigh of relief.
Subconsciously picked up the Coke bottle in her hand, she put it to her mouth, only to find that it was empty.
After rummaging for a long time, she still couldn't find a drink to drink.
"Tsk."
She finally got up, slowly moved through the garbage-like room, and opened the door.
The outside of the room was unusually tidy, a stark contrast to the inside, and she glanced at the other room, sneaked into the kitchen, and opened the refrigerator.
The refrigerator was full of large bottles of Coke, so she picked up a bottle, hurriedly closed the door of the refrigerator, and ran.
It wasn't until she returned to her room and closed the door that she heard the sound of the door opening outside, and a burst of footsteps came to the door, and after a long silence, she turned around and left.
The woman poured the Coke into the cup, took a large sip, and clicked on the webpage.
This is the live broadcast area page of Hatsune Video, and she is watching a live broadcast room.
"Shame on you, get out of the way."
The streamer's avatar is a dog's head with a red scarf, and she is playing a popular FPS game and seems to have been pitted by her teammates.
"It's so nice, it's shining......"
The woman muttered to herself, her eyes full of longing as she looked at the live broadcast screen.
