Chapter 145: Using Unreal Five to Develop The Wandering Earth!
In the beginning, no one cared about the catastrophe, it was nothing more than a fire, a drought, the extinction of a species, the disappearance of a city.
Until this catastrophe is relevant to everyone......
"The Wandering Earth, Scene 8, Mirror 9, Article 3, Exxon!"
As soon as the scene staff hit the board, the actors in the camera instantly entered the play!
Mr. Wu Mengda wore an exoskeleton protective suit weighing 80 kilograms, and said to the two children: "Duoduo, don't be afraid, this is grandpa's home, you see those high-rise buildings, they used to be full of people, at that time, no one cared about the sun, everyone cared about a thing called money." ”
Ice and snow blend with the earth, high-rise buildings fall over, and the whole world is like an old civilization that has been sealed for a long time.
Lin Ye's face was full of curiosity about this world.
Han Duoduo is the same, this is the knowledge she learned in books and the pictures she saw.
It feels like modern people have returned to ancient times and re-seen the magnificent 'Old Summer Palace' in history!
Han Duoduo is a girl he adopted.
It was the 17th day that the earth came to a standstill, and countless hands pushed her in front of Han Ziang, who didn't know who the girl's parents were.
Everyone under the water was her parents.
Han Ziang named her Han Duoduo and gave her the name of his daughter.
"Grandpa didn't make any money at that time, but he was still happy every day."
"Especially when you come home every day, you can smell your grandma's cooking from far, far away."
"Actually, your grandmother really can't cook, she can cook green onion noodles......"
Director Guo Fan spoke: "Click." ”
In less than a minute of the scene, Mr. Wu Mengda was already sweating, and four or five staff members hurried to help him take off the mask first.
After taking off his mask, he gasped heavily and sat down on the floor.
"Ouch, it's not okay if people don't accept old age......"
Zhao Jinmai helped her wipe her sweat, feeling like she treated her grandfather.
Lin Ye was more concerned about the special effects of this scene, so he immediately ran to Guo Fan's side to check it.
"How?"
Guo Fan stared at the monitor, and the other screen was a rendering of the studio's special effects production team.
"Not really, many details have obvious traces of special effects, and they need to be re-rendered and remade."
Guo Fan shook his head and said.
This shot was originally a combination of virtual and real shooting.
It is the first time that the crew has tested the ice and snow scene on the ground, and the effect is definitely not good, which everyone is mentally prepared for in advance.
Lin Ye looked at the special effects, and felt that there was a world of difference from the finished film of "The Wandering Earth" broadcast in his previous life.
"Director Guo."
"Huh?" He looked at Lin Ye.
"What tools does our special effects team use to make special effects?"
"There are many types of foreign software, 3ds Max, Maya, and CINEMA 4D, all of which are Hollywood's usual 3D special effects compositing tools, what's wrong?"
Lin Ye had a whim and said to Director Guo: "Why don't you use a game engine to make it?" ”
"Game engine?"
Guo Fan has heard of it, but he has never tried it.
"Well, Unreal Five is good, especially in big scenes, the work of huge details, can give a lot of help to "The Wandering Earth"!"
"Okay, I'll try it another day."
Guo Fan is very interested in this, and the development of games in the current era has a trend of promoting the development of science and technology.
Many industries are also closely related to games, such as a car industry using games to test machine performance, technology companies using games to train intelligent AI, and even the military using games to conduct war exercises!
So why can't movies use game engines instead of computer special effects?
Guo Fan is more and more interested in the Unreal 5 mentioned by Lin Ye!
If he can really do what he said, then the crew's expenses for special effects production can be saved!
It's just that the cost of time may be greater, and developing a "Wandering Earth" in Unreal Engine Five is no less difficult than making ten "Titanfall"!
……
Lin Ye's genius idea was quickly put into practice!
The special effects team of The Wandering Earth marveled at Unreal Engine V's super performance and realistic light and shadow tracking!
Light is the most difficult element of all special effects!
The human eye sees the real thing by the reflection of light.
Therefore, once the light in the computer special effects is different from the direction and spread of the human eye, it is easy for people to look 'fake'!
In Unreal Engine 5, ray tracing is the closest to the human eye!
Every object and scene that appears in the field of vision has hundreds or thousands of faces, and each side emits a light source, interweaving tens of millions of times to form a real picture.
And this huge amount of computing requires the support of one powerful computer server after another.
At present, the remaining funds of "The Wandering Earth" are less than five million.
Now it's time to buy not only new computers and servers, but also state-of-the-art mocap gear!
Because actors have to sing on stage in a virtual scene, it is difficult for the actors themselves to integrate into it.
It is necessary to combine the equipment of motion capture and add the unique variable of the actor to the interaction with the virtual scene in order to fully present a real and fantastic world.
"Lin Ye, are you sick?"
Wu Jing scolded!
could have lasted another month or two, but now that his idea comes out, the remaining five million of the crew will not only be gone, but also more investment!
"I think Lin Ye's idea is very good, we have achieved it very successfully, we only need to make another investment, and all the special effects work in the future can be realized!"
Guo Fan was very far-sighted, and even thought of the future: "This is not only the success of the wandering earth, but a change in the entire Chinese film industry, if we can take this step, once and for all!" ”
Wu Jing only felt that the two of them were both geniuses and out-and-out madmen!
Zhao Jinmai stayed on the sidelines, although he couldn't understand what they were talking about, but he felt very powerful!
This idea was put forward by Lin Ye, and this idea convinced Director Guo Fan, whom she had always admired, so she felt that Lin Ye was super powerful, even more powerful than Director Guo!
"Angkor, it's been a month since your wolf warrior was released, so when will the box office share come down?"
Lin Ye asked.
Wu Jing lit a red double happiness because he couldn't smoke Liqun anymore......
"Come on, just in the past few days, your kid has invested 75 million, and he has earned more than me as a director and producer!"
Lin Ye was a little embarrassed when he heard this: "Hahahaha... It shows that I have a good eye! ”
"Yes, as far as your vision is good, if I hadn't believed in your evil, I would have come here to accompany you to do these things?"
Wu Jing really wants to laugh!
Mom's friendship starred, and there were not many good scenes, and he starred for a month!
This is called not many scenes!?
