Chapter 189: Virtual Concert

The people around them stayed for a long time before they could see from the movements of Qi Jing's hands that this was indeed not fast-forwarding, but painting on the spot.

Soon, a complete figure appeared on the drawing board on the screen - Qi Jing was obviously much more skilled than Zhou Lu; Not only the painting skills, but also the proficiency of the tools. Although Zhou Lu's painting speed is about the same as hers, there is still no comparison in details. While painting, Qi Jing's hands were also making some detailed adjustments on the operation board; The brushes, layering, and area classification are all meticulously done, and some of the wrong places are also fine-tuned with the assistance of this software. After the painting, Qi Jing also completed the drawing and coloring according to the set area. Compared with Zhou Lu's sketch that can't even delete the auxiliary line, it is obviously much smarter.

"That's amazing!" Zhou Lu, who was standing on the side, looked at Qi Jing's painting and admired it. She had just used this kind of software, and she could see that Qi Jing was much more proficient in this kind of equipment than her; And when she heard her words, the people around her reacted - the characters on the picture had already been drawn, and the whole process only took fifteen minutes.

Qi Jing opened another picture and made a simple background embellishment for this picture, explaining as she painted: "Because I have painted this painting several times before, the speed is relatively fast, but I am not very proficient in the equipment, and after it is put into application in the future, the creation speed of the general original painting should not be much slower than this painting." ”

"But how is this virtual headset drawn? This is probably virtual reality. A personnel manager who finally reacted frowned, "We don't see the brush tool, is it painted with a key?" ”

"How so?" Qi Jing thought for a moment. Said. "It should be a way to paint with consciousness."

"Consciousness? Did you read the picture directly from your brain and draw it? ”

Luo Tiansheng, who was standing on the side, explained: "It's not right either. It is through guò to capture the sensing signals of the eye nerves to simulate a focus of attention. Then use this focal point as a brush to paint. ”

"The focus of attention?"

"The technical difficulty of extracting the picture directly from the brain is too high, and this way of painting is actually very close to the traditional way of painting, but the tool of painting is changed from the hand to the artist's consciousness. As long as you concentrate, you can directly 'think' the painting. ”

"The main advantage is to be stable." Another painter nodded thoughtfully and said, "Wherever you want to paint, it must be the role of this tool." No matter how much we practice on weekdays, it is definitely much more convenient to draw with our attention than with our hands. ”

Luo Tiansheng nodded. "Definitely. Now you understand the significance of this tool, right? ”

"But what's that dashboard for?"

Qi Jing, who was sitting in the chair, replied: "You can directly operate it through your consciousness, but it will be very tiring to always concentrate on your consciousness to draw; Therefore, with the operation panel, you can save some unnecessary trouble. ”

As she spoke, Qi Jing had already outlined the background. It's a small color picture of a girl who runs a prop shop in The Land of the Wind, and although the composition is not particularly complicated, no one would believe that it took less than twenty minutes to complete unless they saw it with their own eyes.

"It's incredible." A manager who belongs to the art department of the 'Golden Note' sighed, "In this case, wouldn't our painters have no meaning to save zài?" ”

"It's the artists of other companies who don't have the meaning of zài." Lu Xianlong on the side responded, of course he also understood the practical meaning of this tool. But. He also had some other questions in mind, "but all of the company's plans at this stage are in terms of 3D virtual reality games. Does making this kind of tool mean that there are layoffs? ”

"There is no need to lay off employees." Luo Tiansheng said, "Since there are no games that use this kind of technology, then we just need to find a way to develop some games that can use this kind of technology." ”

"No, I mean, since you have this kind of tool, you can optimize the structure of the development team by reducing the number of artists and accepting them, even if there is a project for it?"

In game creation, more people is not always better. In addition to the increase in cost and management difficulty, the implementation of creative ideas has become a big problem. Increasing the number of people can speed up the progress of the work, but without a strong and powerful helmsman to control the overall situation, it may affect the quality of the work - and this is the problem that Lu Xianlong mentioned.

"Don't rush to conclusions yet, let's look at the others," Luo Tiansheng said, and instructed, "Xiao Qi, you can demonstrate that." ”

Qi Jing turned off the painting she had just drawn and opened another drawing template—however, instead of a white canvas, a green three-dimensional grid appeared. Qi Jing opened a text at random, and after a long load, a stage scene appeared on the screen. Everyone naturally recognizes that this is a scene from "Golden Melody". The intricate auxiliary lines and nodes filled the whole scene, Qi Jing adjusted them at will on the screen, painted a flower on the wall, and tossed around the model of the carpet for a while, and 'pulled' out a very eye-catching cylinder from the carpet.

"Can I use this tool for 3D animation?" Lu Xianlong perked up, "It turns out that Mr. Luo's technical department uses this kind of tool." ”

However, Luo Tiansheng shook his head and explained vaguely: "3D or something can be talked about later, but with this tool, we can try to make some works with a relatively simple style." ”

When the game company was first established, most of the company's games were still handled by Zhou Heng. The artists only need to make some models and line drawings and hand them to Zhou Heng, who can make the game. The company's work is not heavy, and other backgrounds and models can also be extracted directly from photos or images. This method is simple and simple, but it also has drawbacks.

As the 'Second World' suggests, this game model surpasses modern human technology too much. If you want players to play smoothly, you have to think of other ways. For this reason, Luo Tiansheng thought of some solutions - the means of the previous sequels of "Golden Melody" and "Dragon Group" is a direction. Limit the size of the game to adapt to current technology; This model cannot be wrong. But the means of development from a high position. After all, it's not a normal way to develop. And this holographic mapping tool is another solution.

The biggest 'generation gap' between holographic games and hardware devices is still in the picture - the amount of computation required for a fully realistic game screen is still too large. But the main god can only be simulated from the most delicate aspects, and the rougher the game, the more materials are needed; In this case, increasing the workload of the company's artists has become another option - so that they can keep up with the footsteps of the Lord God and take on some more work; They belong to this era, and what they make must be more 'close to the people' than the Lord God. And Zhou Heng can also free his hands. Put more effort into the design of the game system.

"What's next?"

"The balance test of the holographic version of Dragon Group is almost over," Luo Tiansheng said, "and I'm going to develop a PC game next." ”

"Oh...... What is the subject matter? ”

"I haven't thought about it yet," Luo Tiansheng said, "the main thing is to get used to the new tools." ”

"Actually, it shouldn't be a big problem to hand over PC games directly to me, right? Why not just do a virtual reality game? ”

"You have to take it one step at a time, and it's better to have the developers do the art work for some games. Senior brother, you can save some trouble, though. But most of the time, there is also a simple beauty. ”

Zhou Heng grinned, "It's getting more and more mysterious." ”

"And I finally got that opportunity. I'm going to have to grab some work from you, brother. Luo Tiansheng blinked, "Although he is the nominal person in charge, most of the work is not done by himself, and even if he makes the game, the sense of accomplishment is less than half." ”

"Then why don't you do the code work?"

"That's still ...... it"

While speaking, Zhou Lu also walked over to this side. Luo Tiansheng hurriedly found an excuse to leave, and this conversation ended like this. After a few days of design work, this holographic drawing tool has basically taken shape, and then it can be put into use directly.

The next day, more than 20 assembled holographic mapping instruments were sent to the top-secret equipment area on the top floor of the company, and Luo Tiansheng also led his subordinates to get busy. Because the specific details of the system are not very perfect, in the next few days, more than a dozen big or small questions were submitted every day, and then handed over to Zhou Heng by Luo Tiansheng, in the midst of such busyness, in mid-June, "Golden Melody" was released.

That night, more than a dozen stars from around the world were invited to hold a virtual concert on the live of "Golden Melody". Needless to say, domestic singers have Luo Shengtian's face, and they all rob their scalps and drill into them; In other parts of the world, there are also some celebrities who have been invited. There are rock stars who are in full swing, there are long-established pianists, there are star groups invited from Japan and South Korea, and even a Hollywood superstar who has nothing to do with music has been pulled over. In addition to Luo Shengtian's influence is big enough, those cooperative music copyright companies have made great contributions-

These top stars are not something that can be hired with money. Zhou Heng himself doesn't like this situation very much, especially when those Korean stars appeared on the stage, the terrifying screams of the little girls in the audience scared him to turn off the virtual helmet on the spot, but the popularity of the scene even scared him, the maker.

Unconsciously, the online rate is about to break 50 million. Such a music game can bring such a huge impact, Zhou Heng himself was shocked.

Sensing this, even Zhou Heng's heart skipped a beat. But just then, the Lord God suddenly reported:

"I'm in trouble."

"What?"

"Hu Yu, their airship has been attacked." (To be continued......)
