Chapter 644: Mecha Is Better Looking Better Than Characters? (Ask for subscription)
The second season of That Rabbit has 24 episodes.
Originally, there were only 12 feature episodes, which is the same number as the first season. But the TV station said that 12 episodes are too few to show, and I hope to increase it a little.
It's easy to understand.
After all, the second season of "Those Things About the Rabbit That Year" is an animation broadcast on the TV platform, and if there are only 12 episodes, I am afraid that it will be gone in less than a week.
That's why.
After repeated research by the production team, it was finally decided to extend the script of the second season of the anime and expand the 12-episode feature film to 24 episodes.
That's actually a good thing.
Because after the previous episode was split into two episodes, first of all, the length is more abundant, and the story can be told more completely.
What are the disadvantages......
If there are any shortcomings, it is probably this season's "What Happened to the Rabbit That Year", which is not so funny.
The lines have reduced the frequency of many "Internet buzzwords", and there is no special character of "Ma Snake" in the plot.
How to say that?
This season's Natu animation produced by Guo Hongwei pays more attention to how to tell the story well, and all the lines, characters and backgrounds serve the plot.
Everything that has nothing to do with the plot of the animation has been deleted from the feature film.
"Tell a story, tell a good story."
Guo Hongwei explained: "I don't deny that the use of some Internet buzzwords and popular memes can make animation more funny and interesting. ”
"But it's too damaging to the atmosphere!"
The sense of atmosphere and substitution is very important. blindly piling up rotten stalks on the Internet, and the final effect can only be disliked like the Spring Festival Gala sketches.
He was right.
Gu Miao agreed with Guo Hongwei's theory and expressed support for the reduction of the implantation of various Internet buzzwords in the second season of "What Happened to That Rabbit That Year".
Of course, support is support.
After all, the rabbit is an animation born out of the "military fans" group, and some of the stalks in the circle that can make military fans smile can still be played.
Don't forget your roots!
You can't just because the rabbit animation is popular and its influence has broken the circle, so you can abandon the military fans who originally supported this animation, right?
That's too white-eyed wolf......
Through a comprehensive inspection of the production team, Gu Miao was very satisfied with the work results of her apprentice Guo Hongwei, and encouraged everyone to guard against arrogance and rashness, and to settle down and polish their works seriously.
Although the rabbit is a non-profitable anime, almost all of the proceeds from Wanbao are donated.
But right......
For Wanbao Animation, and even the entire Wanbao Group, the animation "Those Things About the Rabbit That Year" is a "significant" work.
This meaning has nothing to do with money, but more of a sense of spiritual satisfaction and achievement, as well as praise and praise from people from all walks of life.
To put it bluntly, this is face!
Making such an animation may not make Wanbao make a lot of money, but it will definitely improve Wanbao's evaluation in the eyes of ordinary audiences.
So Gu Miao attaches great importance to it.
……
The production progress of the second season of the animation "What Happened to That Rabbit That Year" is quite good, but at Dimension Studios on the other side, the situation is a little bad.
The "Super Beast Armament" project suffered a serious "rollover" incident before it began to set sail.
The 3D modeling team, which is responsible for designing the super beast warrior and the super beast armed form, was sharply criticized by director Huang Kun when the first version of the 3D model was submitted at the production meeting.
"Your robot and mecha armor are so handsome and cool, why are the character models so rough and ugly?"
Armored mechs look better than characters?
After Huang Kun pointed out the problem, the entire dimensional studio fell into deep thought, and no one spoke to refute it for nearly ten minutes.
Hard mouth?
You can't be hard-mouthed!
After all, the modeling is here, as long as the eyes are not blind, you can see that the character model is indeed too rough compared to the mechanical mecha part.
This is an old problem that has always been a problem of Dimension Studio, from the very beginning of "Pigman" to the present, there has been no progress.
Why hasn't anyone mentioned it before?
Because of the previous 3D animation, there are very few human protagonists. Characters like Pig Man and Jelly Three Musketeers, that's not human!
Pushing back further, 3D animations such as "The Devil Soldiers of Maoer Mountain", the characters are all "comedic" big-headed short dolls, and there is no effect.
As a result, something bad happened to "Super Beast Armament"!
The characters of the Ultra Beast Armament are all humanoid creatures with the right proportions, not jelly people, nor pig-headed people......
On this premise.
The shortcomings of Dimension Studio's lack of experience and technical accumulation in character models were exposed at once.
It's okay to say that there is no comparison, but if there is no modeling reference, it is nothing that the character model is rough at all, and it is not deep anyway.
But everything is afraid of comparison......
In the first version of 3D modeling provided by the modeling team, Huang Kun can intuitively feel that the mechanical mecha modeling such as Phantom Lin Armament, Phantom Lin Beast, and Phantom Lin God is much more exquisite and beautiful than character modeling.
"This won't work, take it back and revise it."
Huang Kun, as the chief director of the project team, is responsible for the quality of the work.
He was very satisfied with the mechanical mecha part, whether it was a single super beast form or a super beast god combined form, all of them were so handsome that they had no friends.
But the character models of Huo Linfei, Tianyu, Long Jian and other characters, he felt that he was not worthy of the super beast armed form, and he was a little lagging behind......
What's this?
Obviously, the armor modeling is so cool and handsome, why is the character model so crotch-pulling?
It's a shame!
is also a domestic 3D animation, and Huang Kun has never seen a rougher character modeling. The performance of Dimension Studio disappointed him too much.
"Inexperience is like this......"
Gu Miao, who came to hear the news, explained with a smile: "I don't think it's a shame to have shortcomings, as long as you are willing to make progress and slowly make up for your shortcomings." ”
"Don't be too angry, give them a little more time, I'm sure they'll hand in a satisfactory answer!"
"I know, but I'm in a hurry!"
Huang Kun said with a bitter face: "All the preparations have been made, but I got stuck in the character modeling level, and I have never been so speechless in my life." ”
That's really speechless.
To be honest, when Gu Miao learned about this matter, his performance was similar to that of Huang Kun.
Dimension Studios!
Wanbao Animation's ace studio, one of the giants in the field of domestic 3D animation, actually has such an obvious shortcoming, and even the modeling of "humanoid creatures" can't be done well?
At first he was unbelieving.
Even he wondered if Huang Kun's vision was too high? Obviously the modeling is okay, but it has to be said that it is too rough to use?
But when he saw the 3D modeling of the first version of Huo Linfei, Long Jian and other characters, he was also silent.
It's a lot of fun......
It's not that it's not good, it can't be used, it's just that compared with the handsome and cool mecha armor in the animation, these character models are too low-grade.
Let's take an analogy.
Assuming that the 3D modeling of the Ultra Beast Armament belongs to the "extreme color", then the 3D character modeling of the Ultra Beast Warriors belongs to the "clean lines", which is not at all like the same animation.
