On the eighth day of the first lunar month, Chen Ba left.

He lay in his hometown for half a month, and originally wanted to continue lying down for a few days and leave after the Lantern Festival, but Lao Chen said that there was no rice at home and he couldn't afford to raise idlers.

All right!

Lao Chen's words and other dislikes made Chen Ba's heart half cold, so he could only carry all kinds of bacon sausages and drive away under Lao Chen's "hurry up" gaze.

I ran at high speed for more than ten hours.

By the time Chen Ba returned to Jiangning, he was already half tired to death, and he didn't want to move while lying on the bed.

"Brother Ba, do you want a wife?"

"Oh?!"

As soon as he heard this, Chen Ba quickly got up from the bed and asked with joy, "Where is it?" Bring me a look! ”

"Here!"

Xiao Lu held up the 60 series graphics card in his hand, and said with a swaggering face: "The new wife that Lao Huang just sent to you, the yellow flower girl who has not yet been released!" ”

Chen Ba: "......"

He stared at the graphics card in Xiao Lu's hand, and then glanced at Xiao Lu, who was full of pride, and the bruises on his forehead burst out.

This is not the wife he wants!

The hateful Xiao Lu actually dared to tease him with a broken graphics card, which made him happy in vain, and it seems that the salary is still too high.

"Hurry up and take it away, don't fool me with these things, I don't like any graphics card girl!"

After waving his hand, indicating that he was not interested in this thing, Chen Ba turned to ask again, "What happened to the matter I asked you to investigate?" ”

"Well...... this"

Seeing that Brother Ba was extremely indifferent to his new daughter-in-law, Xiao Lu hurriedly put it away, ready to keep it for himself, saving it from being taken away by others for a while.

After hearing Brother Ba's inquiry, he sorted out his thoughts for a while, and then introduced: "There are not many teams in China that have this technical strength and have participated in the production of 3A games, so I contacted them all." ”

"What do they say?"

"The attitude is okay, and it also means that if there is a need, just say that giving money can help us."

Speaking of this, Xiao Lu scratched his head and added: "It's that motion capture team that is indifferent to our acquisition, and only accepts cooperation and does not accept acquisition." ”

So faceless?

Chen Ba was shocked, he didn't expect that there would be a team that money couldn't buy in these years.

No...... Why?

The team engaged in motion capture, in addition to receiving some animation, special effects and game orders, usually can't receive any work, at most it can be regarded as maintaining food and clothing, why is it unwilling to be acquired by Tianba?

"The asking price is relatively high!"

Xiao Lu explained: "This kind of team is relatively ambitious, and the quotation we make cannot satisfy it, so it is naturally impossible to negotiate." ”

"Then forget it......"

As soon as he heard that the price could not be negotiated, Chen Ba guessed that it was the other party's lion who opened his mouth and asked for an extremely high price.

Tianba Studio is not short of money, but it is impossible to spend money indiscriminately, who loves to be the big boss of this kind of wrong, anyway, it is impossible for Chen Ba to be the big boss.

If you can't buy a plug-and-play motion capture team, then rebuild one yourself, it's also all money, what a big deal!

"Buy equipment, recruit employees, and set up a fishing shed, let Brother Dong contact the headhunter and help find a suitable candidate."

Chen Ba said conclusively: "If Tianba Studio wants to become bigger and stronger, we must have our own motion capture team. ”

Motion capture, the full name is motion capture.

It is a technology that has a wide range of applications, not only in film and television production and game development, but also in a wide range of fields such as military, entertainment, sports, medical applications, computer vision, and robotics.

Let's not talk about the role of this technology in other fields, just talk about the game industry, which can be summed up in one sentence:

The foundation of the 3D game!

In ordinary 2D games, you can not care about motion capture technology, but when it comes to 3D, motion capture must be used.

Because this technology is so important for the enhancement and blessing effect of 3D games.

Let's put it this way.

99% of 3A games at home and abroad basically use motion capture technology, and even the better the 3A masterpiece, the higher the precision of motion capture, and the more crisp and sharp the action.

Chen Ba wants to do 3A, and motion capture is an indispensable part.

In fact, when "Star Emperor" was developing, he had thought about forming a special motion capture team for Tianba Studio.

Merely......

It's a lot of money, and it's the maintenance cost that's the most headache compared to the cost of building a team.

It's easy to form a team, but how to feed it is the biggest problem.

There are no fixed projects, no special need scenes, is it just a matter of assembling this team?

Now, the time is ripe.

Tianba Studio has met all the conditions for the development of triple-A games, and in this case, it is necessary to form a mocap team.

I am not afraid that I can't afford it, there are fixed projects, and there are sufficient funds, and feeding a motion capture team is simply sprinkled with water.

The key is to find the right person.

Cold knowledge, there are actually a lot of technical gods in China who are engaged in this area, but they are all in the field of film and television, after all, many Hollywood movie special effects are outsourced to Huaguo companies.

It's a bit of a headache.

has developed well in the field of film and television special effects, you dig people to make games, not to mention whether they are willing or not, how to guarantee him a bright future?

When he said this, Chen Ba himself didn't believe it.

As long as people still have entertainment needs, as long as there are people watching movies, they are not afraid of not being able to afford to eat.

If you're engaged in game development, it's really precarious.

Who doesn't know what happens to domestic games, especially domestic stand-alone games? Running to make a stand-alone game, or the most risky 3A game, what if you are laid off after completing this order?

"Let's talk as much as we can."

Chen Ba sighed and said: "It's nonsense to talk about future prospects and ideals, let's only give money, real money." ”

Giving money is the most realistic.

How can there be so many idealists?

Everyone comes out to beg for a living, just talk about salary and treatment, talk about ideals and future, except for making jokes.

In this regard, Tianba Studio is still very confident.

After all, they have the ATM of "Divine Grace Animation", and it is impossible to go bankrupt in a short period of time, and if you give enough money, you don't have to worry about not being able to dig people.

"What about game engines?"

After talking about the relevant arrangements for the formation of the motion capture team, Xiao Lu immediately asked: "Brother Ba, didn't you say that you want to specialize in a Tianba engine?" ”

"Come on, don't rush!"

Chen Ba was speechless.

A game engine is not a cabbage, how can it be said that it can be made out?

Although he can open the hanging, the performance of Tie Hanhan's system is really worrying, and it will take at least two months to brew a game engine.

This is already an exaggeration!

In just two months, a brand new game engine was made from scratch, which is a proper miracle in the game industry.

Chen Ba glanced at it.

The progress bar of the system has reached 51%, and it is expected that in 20 days, Tianba Studio will be able to have a new game engine.

I'm looking forward to it!

The physical computing engine alone is so real and powerful, so what will this all-round game engine specially designed for 3A look like?

Can you catch up with Dream 6?

……

The news that Tianba Studio is secretly developing a game engine does not deliberately hide it from others.

The main thing is that Chen Ba doesn't want to hide it either.

Release the news in advance, true and false, false and false, and give everyone a preventive shot in advance, so as not to jump out of a game engine that has never been seen at the time, so that the entire industry is confused.

Players are looking forward to this mysterious Celestial Engine.

Reaching the height of well-known game engines such as Dream Building Engine and Source Engine, everyone dare not think about it, and they don't think that the generation of engines made by Tianba Studio can be comparable to such a mature engine.

After all, you're just starting out, so how can you compare with someone else's engine that has updated and iterated several versions?

However, based on the powerful reality of the game's physics engine of "Extreme Hurricane", everyone also has high expectations for this unknown Tianba engine.

The same goes for Chen Ba.

But he knows more, so he thinks differently than ordinary players.

The physics engine used in Rush Racing, which was built specifically for racing games, has little to do with the game engine.

The main function of this game engine is to cover most of the games developed by Tianba Studio in the future, and it is not limited to the theme of racing and racing.

In other words.

The physics engine in Speed is good, but it's not the core of the Skymaster engine, and it's not an exaggeration to say it's a small plugin.

Chen Ba added the core element of generation to the Tianba engine, which is actually AI artificial intelligence!

That's right!

This is not a race track from traditional game engines at all. It can even be understood that this is a substitute specially drummed up by Chen Ba in order to make up for the art shortcomings of Tianba Studio.

In addition to screen rendering and physics simulation, the Tianba engine also includes the most popular AI drawing and AI animation functions.

"A game engine across the generations."

For this engine, Chen Ba gave only this one evaluation.

When he worked hard for nearly a month, finally got the finished product, and after many rounds of testing and use, he finally knew why everyone shouted and beat the dog.

It's really shameless to hang up!

Others are still writing code, and Tianba Studio has begun to squeeze AI and use AI to develop games.

"Awesome!"

Yang Dong also tried the new engine, although he only tasted it, but he could also see that this Tianba engine was indeed more powerful than he imagined.

The most intuitive experience is that this engine can automatically generate various art resources required by the game without "alchemy".

"Alchemy" is a proper noun.

It refers to asking the AI to learn a certain artist, learn a certain painting style, and then be able to draw various works of that style. This process of training is also known as alchemy feeding pictures.

The new engine doesn't have to be so cumbersome.

If you use this engine to develop a game, you only need to start and provide some pre-game art resources to set a basic framework and art tone for the AI.

The rest can be left alone.

It's convenient, and it's also time- and labor-saving, and Tianba Studio doesn't need to hire too many full-time art designers.

One or two people are completely sufficient.

These two full-time art designers are responsible for determining the tone and style of the game's art, starting with the game, and leaving the rest to AI to automatically generate.

"To draw map resources, you only need to draw a village, and the AI can run out of the map art resources of an entire continent......"

Speaking of this, Yang Dong said with a smile: "This is simply too convenient, and this AI not only draws it, but also automatically generates the corresponding code." ”

That's the best.

It's nothing to just be able to draw, but after you draw it, it's a bit outrageous to turn the content of the picture into game content.

For example, Yang Dong asked the AI to draw a church building in the Tianba engine.

The building is not only an art asset, but also part of the game project, which can be interacted with, such as opening the door to visit, NPCs coming to the church to pray, etc.

"But then again, AI is always AI, and making a game can't rely too much on these things, and it's unrealistic to completely replace human."

"Nonsense!"

Of course, Chen Ba knew that this was unrealistic.

No matter how powerful the Tianba engine is, it is only a game engine, and it is impossible to do what Yang Dong said, entering specific instructions to automatically generate a game.

At present, these functions of the Tianba engine only play an auxiliary role, and whether they are good or not and how useful they are depends on how the developer uses it.

The engine is there, and the mocap team is in place.

Chen Ba immediately decided to use this new Tianba engine to make a super cool open-world role-playing game set in a modern city.

He had all the names in mind.

Global Evolution!

This is a story about the "revival of aura", the evolution of all things, the fall of human beings from the altar, and the regaining of the throne of the head of all races under the leadership of the protagonist.

In 2045 A.D., the heavens and the earth were abruptly changed.

Extreme thunderstorms all over the world are happening, with lightning and thunder pouring down torrential rain, just like the end of the world.

This rain is not simple......

"Everything that has been rained has evolved?" Xiao Lu said on a whim.

"That's right!"

Chen Ba glanced at Xiao Lu and guessed that this kid usually didn't look at the Internet, so he nodded and said, "This rain has been raining for a whole month, and the animals or plants that have been drenched in the rain have changed. ”

Humanity fell off the altar.

The beasts have risen, the human firearms have become completely ineffective, and even the plants have become extremely terrifying, and the human beings are so weak that they can only abandon large territories and retreat to one base after another.

The story originated in Jiangning Base City.

The protagonist of the game, Chen Yun, whose parents died in the first beast tide attack after the change of heaven and earth, struggled to survive with his sister Chen Jia.

"Why does this kind of protagonist have a younger sister?"

Xiao Lu wanted to complain, who started this, and made the later works, whether it was a game, an anime, or a sister.

"How do I know, everyone has a sister anyway, let's take a sister with our protagonist......"

Chen Ba didn't think it mattered.

Whether it's a sister or a younger brother, after all, it's a rich character for the male owner.,In the end, it's just a tool person.,There's no need to care too much.。

Besides.

The other protagonists are both parents died, there is a sister and a house to start, and Tianba Studio is not easy to do special, since everyone has a sister, then they will also have one!

Don't be a drag bottle......
