316 Optical Motion Capture System
On Sunday morning, when Zhao Nuo and Zhou Yan rushed to the twentieth floor "contracted" by the Hellfire Company again, they found that the new optical motion capture system had been installed and the final debugging work was underway.
In the simple studio on the right side of the room, separated by a blue board, several computers and large, "high-tech" looking equipment have been placed, and through the tiny cameras in the four corners of the upper corners, the scene in the room can be displayed on the screen at a glance, but this is not included in the "optical motion capture system", but only the observation equipment used to view the inside of the room.
"I think it's better to get a glass window, it's too inconvenient to see with a camera, right?" Standing in the studio, Zhao Nuo looked at the panoramic view of the room on the screen.
"It's still in a hurry, I'll get it if I have time. Don't talk about this......" Xia Shiren, who was sitting in front of one of the computers, had just been serious for less than three seconds, and then showed his usual evil smile, picked up the microphone next to him and said:
"Xiaoling, dance a dance and show my brother!"
"Hmm!"
Xia Xiaoling, dressed in white with several black objects like electrodes attached to her clothes, obediently spun around the blue "stage", and at the same time, the high-speed cameras arranged around the room began to operate.
Since the movements of the actors can be very fast during motion capture, the cameras arranged around the room must reach a shooting rate of more than 60 frames per second in order to correctly "catch" the actors' movements, rather than making them into a stiff "machine qì dance".
"Does that make the action appear in the game?" Zhou Yan on the side asked Xia Shiren a question, looking very interested in this kind of equipment.
"It also requires a very complex processing process, especially in the case of complex movements, which may need to be synthesized." Zhao Nuo explained.
Even the high-speed camera of the optical motion capture system cannot guarantee that every aspect of the actor can be fully captured, and if the action is too fast or too complex, there are likely to be some ridiculous bugs, which will need to be manually corrected.
"Alright, okay, so be it!"
Seeing that his sister was dancing more and more happily, Xia Shiren notified her to stop in time, and then snickered in a low voice from the computer next to him and copied the video just now to his mobile phone.
"What are you doing?" Zhou Yan asked coldly.
"After all, it's my dear sister...... Xia Shiren sighed shamelessly, then turned to Zhao Nuo and smiled obscenely: "Do you want to have a copy too?" ”
"No, I'm not interested in dancing with guys dressed in white, this kind of dance should be at funerals." Zhao Nuo shook his head.
Standing in the simple but professional studio, a smile couldn't help but appear on his face:
Before, I was still worried about how to make zuò actions in this fighting game - because there are too many characters, if one by one designs different combat moves, it is estimated that the group of guys in the program team and the art team will be exhausted to death.
But now, as long as you have this optical motion capture system, you don't have to ask the execution team to do any painful "Chinese kung fu" moves, just get the actors' movements directly to the character modeling.
As for the selection of actors......
Zhao Nuo lowered his head and looked at his hands—there was probably no one here who was more suitable for this job than himself.
As if he saw what he was thinking, the "ghost and god scriptwriter" next to him tugged at the corner of Zhao Nuo's clothes and said, "I want to perform too." ”
"Can you do it?" Zhao Nuo asked.
"Don't forget that I'm the one who almost beat you in a somatosensory game." Zhou Yan said expressionlessly.
Recalling Zhou Yan's previous brutal "practical fighting technique", Zhao Nuo was about to agree to her request, but Xia Shiren spoke again:
"And me! I bought this thing, so I'm sure I'm qualified too! ”
“…… Well, whatever you want, it would be nice to help me lighten my workload. Zhao Nuo sighed.
At present, most of the company's employees do not know about the installation of this system. It is conceivable that when it comes to work on Monday, there will probably be another uproar. At that time, the guys who are looking forward to their "real appearance" may not be just the three people present.
"I'm going to the show too!" Xia Xiaoling, who was still wearing a white suit as a motion capture actor, walked into the studio at some point, and joined the "actor list" with great interest.
"Let's not talk about that, how about we go eat first?" Zhao Nuo picked up his phone and looked at the time, it was close to twelve o'clock at noon.
"Well, let's go!" Xia Xiaoling said without hesitation and took off the white clothes on her body, revealing the dark blue professional clothes that were directly worn underneath and were obviously wrinkled a lot.
A group of four people walked to the elevator, said hello to the company's security guards who stayed on weekends, and then called the elevator to go downstairs and walked into a hot pot restaurant not far from Wenluo Building.
"Thank you for the mandarin duck pot." Xia Shiren skillfully made a request to the waiter, and then took the menu and handed it to Zhao Nuo: "How much meat do you eat?" Whatever you want, I'm in for a treat today. ”
"It's better for me to have a treat, thank you for sponsoring this equipment." Zhao Nuo said with a smile.
The price of an optical motion capture system, let alone a meal, is no problem even if you want to charter this hot pot restaurant for a few days. Xia Shiren spent so much money, Zhao Nuo felt that it was time to treat himself.
I thought that Xia Shiren would refuse politely, but I didn't expect that the guy who "didn't take the usual path" seemed to have been waiting for Zhao Nuo to say this sentence for a long time, and immediately nodded and said, "Okay!" ”
“……”
Looking at the other party's reaction, Zhao Nuo felt speechless and choked, but the speed of ordering was not ambiguous at all:
"Three plates of fat beef, four plates of mutton, cabbage, mushrooms, instant noodles......"
Quickly finished talking about the ingredients they wanted to eat, the four of them sat at the dining table, looking at the half-spicy and half-not-spicy "Mandarin Duck Pot" in the center, and it was Xia Shiren who finally broke the silence:
"You guys have to come on, let my dad's old stubbornness see, there is actually a future for a game company."
"Well, we will." Zhao Nuo said seriously.
"Actually, I used to want to make my own company that makes zuò games, but my father didn't allow it, and in the end I had to follow the life path he arranged for me." Xia Shiren was uncharacteristically serious, picked up the glass on the dining table and shook it, and sighed: "So, I'm also very happy to see my sister doing what she likes." ”
"Interested in coming to our company?" Zhao Nuo said with a smile.
"Don't be funny, I'm already busy now......" Xia Shiren reluctantly put down the cup.
Seeing that guy's depressed appearance, Zhao Nuo knew very well that this guy was actually very dissatisfied with his current job.
-- No matter how good it is, it is just a life path that his father has arranged for him, not a lifestyle he has chosen.
Thinking of this, Zhao Nuo couldn't help but be glad that he didn't listen to his parents and go back to work.
But is the path you choose the right one?
"Hah, that kind of thing doesn't really matter......" he smiled slightly.
Even if this venture fails, he will not give up, but will continue to persevere.
-- As long as it is a path that you choose, even if you are on your knees, you must finish it. R1152
