The motion capture studio of Qingyu Network is less than a kilometer away from the company, and a little further south, in the emerging software park Area E, next to a single building. It's a bit inaccurate to say that the building is actually only three floors, or the kind of loft style, with a high ceiling in the middle, and you can directly see the roof about fifteen meters high, and the attic is interspersed with several floors of offices.

According to Ye Shenxi's knowledge, this was originally a printing factory plant, but also a state-owned enterprise, after the beginning of this century was shut down, the plant here has been empty, intermittently leased to several companies, and there is no long-term lease, the reason is that those companies have not been long-term, the current plan is for the later software park letter more backward park construction.

Over the years, it has been transformed into this way.

It's almost free anyway.

The venue was given by the government, and the equipment was not to be discussed, such as Wia, stunt ropes, and these were successively added in the past two months, and the studio was finally put into use after it was built.

At present, the only ones that can use this studio are Ye Shenxi's ProjetB and Li Zhimerian's studio's 3DMMORPG.

On the exterior walls of the building are the name of the herring network, the company logo, and the name of the studio: Octopus Lab.

Of course, this name is still given by Xia Qingyu.

The word fish is easier to understand, and the laboratory can say it, but why is it called "octopus"...... Even though Ye Shenxi and Xia Qingyu have a heart, it is a little difficult to comprehend.

Just ask.

"Isn't it capturing the motion?" At that time, Xia Qingyu said while gesturing twice.

A gust of fist wind swept past Ye Shenxi's ears.

"Lady, slow down." Ye Shenxi hurriedly stopped Xia Qingyu from fiddling with her fists and feet in the office, and she couldn't figure out that this girl was going to play a complete set of tricks. He asked, "Is there a necessary causal connection between this and the octopus?" ”

"Can you think of a fish that can do more than an octopus?"

"Yes...... Can't think of it. ”

"That's unbelievable?"

"It makes sense."

"What did you just call me?"

"Lady ......"

"Hey, hey, two more calls...... Xianggong ......"

"Don't you, what about the company......"

"It's just a kiss for a while, and it's not to do you, besides, who dares to come in?"

……

……

Some companies have settled in Area E of the Software Park, mainly local small and medium-sized entrepreneurial teams, and those young people can't help but look up and admire every time they see the logo and name on the stairs when they pass by.

This is the largest one in China, not in the capital of Huangpu, but in Funan, which does not belong to a film company, but a game company, and is privately owned by a local company.

If their own company grows a little stronger in the future, maybe they can find a Qingyu network to rent it at a discount on the friendship of their fellow villagers.

Let's do our best to be able to use this laboratory.

There are more people here today than usual, because of the approach of E3 and the requirements of the trailer progress, continue to hurry up to make a few actions that Ye Shenxi needs in the trailer.

Ye Shenxi also came here in person to inspect (supervise) (work).

At present, there are two actors, a man and a woman, both of whom Xia Qingyu signed from the artist business department of his father's media company.

Actors are really not that easy to find, and the movements alone are durable and good-looking, and many martial arts can do it, but they are often responsible for action design and stand-ins. And this project of Qingyu Network still has certain requirements for the acting skills of actors, and it is not only for the protagonist of the game.

Relying on the facial capture solution provided by the Vion capture system, the herring network can capture the expressions of the actors when they perform, and also has higher requirements for the actors.

Generally speaking, it is necessary to be proficient in martial arts performance routines, posture and body shape can show beauty, acting skills are also online, and can perform leading roles, supporting roles, and dragon sets, covering a wider range of age stages as much as possible.

For example, it is also necessary to play some elderly characters with rickety bodies, clubbing crutches and staggering...... There are even some animals and monsters, which are characters that do not exist in reality or have not been experienced by humans, and the scenes they are in are also non-realistic scenes, which requires the actors to have a certain imagination and sense of scene, and they need to think about what kind of form should be given to each character.

The difficulty is really not low.

The actor's name is Yang Xu, and the girl's name is Zhang Wen, both of whom are 89 years old, just turned 20 years old, and the two are still brothers and sisters.

Originally, it was also supposed to go in the direction of sports, but realistically speaking, sports really have no way to make money in the entertainment industry, don't look at the glamorous world champions, those athletes who can't win Olympic gold medals, but also devote their lives to exercise, even if they are National Games champions, provincial champions, some life is difficult to guarantee after retirement.

And the image of the two is not bad, so they simply entered the act

In the art circle, they have all played a role in TV series that have been released in China, and they can be regarded as people who have appeared on the provincial satellite TV at eight o'clock, and they are famous. It can be seen from the number of their Weibo followers that there are almost twenty or thirty thousand...... According to the current perception in China, in fact, it is indeed a bit condescending to do motion capture.

The two have captured it a few times, and they are gradually getting used to the instruments and equipment, various data cables, and the insulating glue skin they wear.

Once you get used to it, it's no different from ordinary performances.

When Ye Shenxi came in, the two of them also caught it, and they both knew the identity of this young man, and only after performing a move did they step forward to say hello to Ye Shenxi.

"Mr. Ye." "Mr. Ye is good."

"Yang Xu, Zhang Wen, hello. I've watched your "Legend of Sword Washing" and I'm very impressed with you. (Where does he have the spare time to watch domestic costume TV series...... Chen Xiaofan, who just asked in the car that came over)

Yang Xu and Zhang Wen are still young, and they actually believe it, and they feel a little surprised.

"Please continue your performance."

"Eh, okay, Mr. Ye."

……

The lab is as spacious as a gymnasium, with a green curtain of grid-like tape on the floor, surrounded by 40 Vion T5 motion capture cameras that shoot laser rays invisible to the human eye.

On one side of the wall, there is a large screen facing the actors, and inside is a 3D model of the skeleton that is integrated into the real scene, which is consistent with the actors' movements, so that they can watch and adjust at the right time, and what they do, the virtual characters in it will do what they do simultaneously, just like looking in a mirror, but the left and right will not flip.

The wall on the other side was full of tables, and the computers on it were buzzing and running at full capacity, and the staff got up to say hello to Ye Shenxi and immediately sat down to process the data they had just collected.

Ye Shenxi stepped forward and saw a monitor showing bone lines and a 3D model, which was playing the action that Zhang Wen had performed just now. Lying on the bed, it is as if I am having a nightmare, my brows are furrowed, and my limbs and head will shake slightly.

The effect is really good, very natural, not stiff at all.

After confirming OK, the staff will edit the data, and then export the G data file in the corresponding format and send it back to the herring network.

After some fine-tuning, the colleagues in the art team can directly add it to the game, and Rao Bin can call it in the editor and play the corresponding action.

Compared to manual adjustment, it is more than a little more efficient.

Ye Shenxi sighed a little, two years ago, Qingyu's first game "Immortal Dao" was a manual adjustment of the action, at that time it was still outsourced, but an outsourcing company A 3D animator can only produce one action a day, and the actions of so many characters and monsters in "Immortal Dao" are piled up by manpower.

Now it's really a shotgun for a cannon.

"Mr. Ye." Wait until another action show is complete, and the head of the lab, James? Chen walked over to Ye Shenxi and said, "When the dumplings are ready, you can start directly." ”

Chan is a British-Chinese, an OML employee who has also settled in London and has extensive experience in operating and maintaining Vion systems. Under the request for assistance from the herring network, OML sent him to China to help the herring network familiarize itself with the entire business process for half a year, of course, his salary and various subsidies for this half year will be taken care of by the herring network.

"It's ready."

Today, the dumplings also came together, not to come for a walk, it also has work tasks, in addition to the "employee encouragement...... There are several movements that need to be taken from it today.

It's like finding a part-time job.

Ye Shenxi took off the leash of the dog, and then touched the dumplings: "Ready to work, dumplings." ”

Dumplings: "Wow? ”

Chen took out a motion capture suit, which was specially made for small animals on all fours, although Satsuma is a large dog, it can only be regarded as small among animals, compared to cattle and horses.

"I'll do it." Ye Shenxi took it, and then put it on the dumplings.

The little guy was very obedient, he didn't move when he was dressed, and obediently asked the staff to adjust the position of the tracker at the joints to make the positioning more accurate.

"You still know that you have been paid for so many months." Anyway, when the year-end lottery last year, the dumplings also drew an HT G1 mobile phone, which was naturally received by the guardian, no way, after all, the dumplings are also regular employees with their own work numbers, so be fair.

"Wow~"

Ye Shenxi brought the dumplings to the curtain grid, where the camera was pointed, and then asked it to perform actions such as "walking", "napping", "yawning", "exuding hostility, and looking at each other viciously", which was not very complicated. After all, the dumplings have not received professional training, although they have also rehearsed in the past two days, and some movements Ye Shenxi repeatedly described with words and actions several times, so he sent himself to the battle to perform for it first, and it slowly comprehended and did it

Come out.

There is no specific research, but Ye Shenxi feels that dumplings should be the first non-human creature in the history of the game to capture movement.

Yang Xu and Zhang Wen, who were resting on the side, were even more dumbfounded, motion capture was already a new thing for them, tall and fashionable, but there was another dog, can it still be operated like this?

……

There's certainly more than one set of motion capture, and the dumplings also need to be performed over and over again, and then filtered out for the best content to put into the game.

The little one is also gradually familiar with the password and the actions that should be made, and gradually becomes able to control the new clothes.

The phone rang, Ye Shenxi took out his mobile phone and looked at it, said hello to Chen and walked out of the laboratory to answer the phone.

It was Zhou Xilin who called.

“……”

"Why don't you speak?" Ye Shenxi dedicated a period of silence, and Zhou Xilin was not sure: "Are you still angry?" refers to the last time GTA4 was removed from the shelves in China.

That thing was expected, and Ye Shenxi didn't take it to heart, but there was a saying that made a lot of sense, only crying children have milk to eat.

You have to express your grievances from time to time.

"Are you satisfied with the studio space?" Zhou Xilin quickly changed the topic.

"It's not bad, it's already used."

"Today is good news, really good news." Zhou Xilin chattered.

"I don't believe it."

"Hey...... What time do you depart? I heard that Mr. Yu had already passed first. ”

"I'll probably have a little more than a week to prepare for the exhibition."

"Not ready yet?" Zhou Xilin was a little surprised, how could he be cramming with the students for the exam.

"It's all new things, there's a lot of it, and it's the kind that is going to be released to make people shock, and you don't know that I don't like to hype up old things."

"That...... The Xianxia project is okay, right? "Zhou Xilin is quite worried about this.

"Add a few all-nighters, it should be too late." Ye Shenxi said lightly, also exaggerating.

"Eh, hard work......"

"What the hell is going on? What's the deal, why don't I ask you and you? ”

"Hey...... Let me tell you, CCTV will also send reporters over this time. ”

This Ye Shenxi is really unexpected, CCTV reported E3? I don't seem to have the impression of it.

"It's not going to be Channel 5's "Sports World", right?"

"No, no, it's an E3 and it's not an ESL esports game, it's a reporter."

"Huh~ That's flattered, then can't you "Today's Statement", right?"

"Ouch, it has something to do with "Today's Statement", are you planning to smuggle to Los Angeles?"

"Then you don't say it directly."

"It should ...... At the meeting, the "News Network" depends on the specific situation, but at least it is also the news on the hour. ”

"Should?"

"At least 90 likely, I say at least, you know we don't say absolute in general."

"Has your policy changed?"

"This ......"

"Okay, I know, it's still being discussed, and it's not convenient to disclose it to the outside world, right?"

"It's not a cliché, it's true, you know that this thing involves a wide range of things, and it's not a matter of one of our departments, it has to be the result of multi-department consultations."

"It's not like you're taking the lead."

“…… So there's another thing, are you busy after you come back from E3? ”

"It should be easier than it is now."

"I would like to congratulate you in advance on your award at the exhibition."

"Don't milk."

"What do you mean?"

"It's just, seriously."

"When you return with honors, can you take the time to go to the capital, Minister Cai wants to meet you."

With the current status of Qingyu Network, the boss has not met with the Minister of Culture, which is indeed a little unspeakable, but Ye Shenxi believes that it should be more than a simple meeting and chatting, maybe there will be some questions I want to hear his suggestions, in fact, he also really wants to meet Cai Yunhu, there is a way to express his attitude.

"No problem, I should have come to visit. Anyway, have you been transferred? ”

"No, what's wrong?"

"How do you feel that your brother's current position is [Ministry of Culture Liaison Herring Network Commissioner]? Why do you rely on you to report all the news? ”

"Eh~ You have what you say, Minister Cai's secretary will call your company later, isn't it good for me to ventilate with you in advance?"

"Then I thank you."

"Seriously, will you be showing real Chinese cultural content at E3 this time?"

"It's still under discussion, and it's inconvenient to disclose it to the outside world."
