Xu Rui, who returned to Phantom Electric Animation after lunch, soon received a call from Li Zhen of Suoren Entertainment.

He brought Xu Rui the set of facial expression capture equipment, which had been transported to the third floor of Hatsune Games.

Xu Rui immediately put down what he was doing and came to the next building.

It's said to be a device.,In fact, it's a set of software plus a camera.,The camera is nothing special.,The main thing is that the driver hasn't been debugged yet.,The software can't adapt to the ordinary camera before it was taken by the way.。

After setting it up, Xu Rui immediately experienced it.

He found that this capture device can capture the facial expressions of people who are close to each other without setting up sensors or positioning points, and reproduce them in the computer within an acceptable range.

As for the movement, you have to exceed a certain amplitude to be captured, but the finger part of the motion capture is good, even the subtle operation of snapping the finger can be recorded.

It can be said that this motion capture device has basically met Xu Rui's needs.

He intends to apply it in two ways.

The first is naturally the concerts and performances of virtual singers like Hatsune Miku, as well as CG animation.

Although now, Hatsune Games' technology is enough to produce lifelike CG animations, but there is still a lack of heat in terms of expressions, such as concerts, there is no way to capture expressions, and manual debugging is time-consuming and laborious, and the effect is not good, if this device is popularized, then not only the performance of virtual singers, but also the LIVE of music games can go further.

The second use is the anchor.

Now there are tens of thousands of anchors registered in the live broadcast area of the first sound video network, according to statistics, there are less than 1,000 people who turn on the camera, only one tenth, among the 50 most famous anchors, there are no more than 20 who open the camera to show their true appearance, such as anchors like Yi Qianqian, basically turn off the camera the whole time.

Xu Rui can understand this situation very well, after all, most of them are not really handsome guys and beauties, and they don't want to expose their looks to bring inconvenience to their lives, so it is normal to turn off the camera.

But in the experience of watching the live broadcast, the anchor's reaction is also a very interesting link, if there is only sound, to be honest, it will lose some fun, Xu Rui is ready to promote this facial recognition to the anchor circle, and then match it with some 3D face pinching software to create a virtual anchor.

Of course, the first demonstrations started inside Hatsune Games.

......

In the evening of mid-January, Wang Ze returned home after a day's work.

He was eating takeout, clicked on the page of Hatsune Video Network, and just saw the reminder that [shallow] started the live broadcast.

Wang Ze, who was looking for a video of the rice, immediately clicked on this page and found that [shallow] was playing the zombie mode of "Call of the Battlefield", in this mode, several players will fight together to meet waves of zombies, which is a PVE mode.

The operation of [shallow] is still exquisite, but this time, Wang Ze noticed that in the lower right corner of the screen, there is a CG model.

It was a white-haired girl with a pair of furry ears, blue eyes, and a sailor suit, moving slightly, with a serious and focused expression on her face.

"Is this the new avatar?"

Seeing the "awsl" swiping screen in the barrage, Wang Ze didn't understand it at first, until he saw the CG model move with the game's picture, and he realized that this was the virtual image of [shallow].

Soon Wang Ze's attention was attracted by the virtual image, this CG model is very exquisite, and the expression on his face will change with the game, it looks like a real person opening the camera in a live broadcast, with the lines of [shallow], the more Wang Ze looks at it, the more cute he feels.

"Ah, I'm dead."

He couldn't help but say.

【awsl！ I didn't expect the body of [shallow] to be a cat ear girl! 】

Wang Ze also posted a barrage.

"This isn't a cat, it's a fox ear."

Maybe he saw some of the speeches in the barrage, and [shallow] actually opened his mouth to reply.

"It turned out to be a fox ???"

Wang Ze felt incredulous, looked at the pair of ears with white hair, and even moved by himself.

This is obviously a cat's ear!

The live broadcast continues, [shallow] while playing the game, you can also watch the barrage, answer some questions or chat with the audience, although the attitude is still a little cold, but compared to before, you can only see the game screen and don't know where it goes.

In the past, audiences who could only listen to the sound to make up the picture in their brains can now see the [shallow] expression directly, is there anything better than this?

[What is this animation model of the anchor?] 】

There was a barrage to ask.

"Well, you can take her for me, this is the image of the virtual world."

[shallow] casually dealt with a huge zombie, and while answering, his head was little by little, looking very lively.

I don't know if it's Wang Ze's delusion, she seems to have become a little more cheerful.

This is not surprising, in front of such a cute girl, Wang Ze is willing even if he is insulted and trampled by the other party, and now he can see the other party's expression through a layer of models, and he is naturally even happier.

The live broadcast lasted until eight o'clock, and Wang Ze was still unsatisfied, so he could only wait for the recording to be reminiscent.

Several groups he is in are discussing [shallow] things, and all kinds of expressions in the live broadcast have been screenshotted and made into emojis.

At the same time, Chuyin Video Network also posted a Weibo, showing everyone the function of this virtual live broadcast software, due to the [shallow] live broadcast in front, this software immediately became popular.

Wang Ze was also curious to download one, this software only sells for fifty yuan, just like Bai Zhi, he downloaded it after buying, and found that the function of the software is divided into two parts, one is to choose a virtual image, the software comes with some animals and animated avatars, among which there are also Wang Ze's familiar phantom animation character images.

Another feature is virtual live streaming, which requires a computer to have a camera to capture movements and expressions.

Wang Ze randomly chose a panda head for collection, and he found that this software can basically restore his expression, but some special expressions can't be captured.

But the designers of the software seem to have taken this problem into account, and can set certain shortcuts to switch between expressions, such as star eyes or blushing.

Wang Ze also found some complex operations, such as the cat ear movement seen today, but this requires the use of custom shortcut key operations.

Of course, humans can't have cat ears, so they can't capture the movement of the ears, in other words, today's [shallow] is in the live broadcast, while fighting zombies, and at the same time quickly operating shortcut keys, this technology is really amazing.

Wang Ze also found that this software can not only capture facial expressions, but also capture a certain degree of movement, but [shallow] has not yet demonstrated this aspect.

Of course, about two weeks later, before the Spring Festival, among the virtual anchors who appeared one after another, some people demonstrated the motion capture function of this software, and they became famous for it.

It's just that the person behind the virtual anchor is still hiding in his room, drinking Coke, and has just seen the recorded video of [shallow].
