Big Manga

In a blink of an eye, May arrived.

The popularity of the animation and the two songs of "Rebellious Lelouch" continued to grow, but these things had been left behind by Meng Huo. Didn't pay attention to these things anymore.

At the beginning of May, Meng Huo went to Yanjing to participate in the academic assessment of two universities. With his adequate preparation, the assessment went smoothly.

In addition to the assessment, he also checked the production status of DreamWorks' "The Magician at the Beginning of the Century". Because it was too urgent, there were some minor problems in this part of the completion.

"Don't worry too much." Meng Huo gave several directors more time after inspection: "It's okay if the production is slower, we are not in a hurry to release."

This production progress has exceeded his expectations. Even if the production is slow, "The Magician at the Beginning of the Century" can be released in July, one month later than the expected June of the Chinese New Year, but Meng Huo still focuses on quality .

For "The Magician at the Beginning of the Century", Meng Huo stayed in Yanjing for a few more days after the school assessment. He lived in an ordinary dormitory provided by the company. There was nothing inconvenient about it either.

And he is not the only one who lives in the dormitory, Tomato and Xi Wenlin's two assistants also live here. Every night, they can draw "Detective Conan" comics with Meng Huo{—this is an event after a long time.

The two assistants cherish this time very much. In recent years, Meng Huo has grown greatly in painting skills and ideas, through painting together. Tomato and Xi Wenlin can learn a lot. Improve the plot of "Detective Conan".

Especially Xi Wenlin. He took advantage of this rare time to discuss the main line of "Detective Conan" with Meng Huo, and obtained dozens of reasoning cases, which greatly saved the pressure of thinking on his own every week.

However, during this period, Meng Huo did not transfer all the painting work to himself as he did a few years ago. In fact, apart from explaining the future comic plot to Xi Wenlin, he only slightly modified Tomato's painting, not too much. interference.

Now it seems that even if Meng Huo no longer interferes with "Detective Conan", its painting is not a problem. Xi Wenlin has already learned part of the manga assistant work. Although he has no talent for painting, after so many years, he is no longer a mere "plot consultant" and can use a computer to handle some assistant work.

Therefore, on the surface, Meng Huo is working with these two assistants, but in fact he is drawing other cartoons - but there are also many times, they will find Meng Huo typing on a notebook, and when typing , He occasionally frowned, and then drew something on drawing paper.

at the very beginning. The two assistants didn't pay attention to this matter, they thought Meng Huo was writing the text script of "Wine of Eternal Life" or other animations. But when they saw Meng Huo's painting by chance, both of them were very surprised!

Meng Huo was drawing some character designs, but not "Wine of Eternal Life" or any other animation or comic character settings. The people in these paintings are very strange, there are people with long ears, people with fangs exposed-even people who are as ugly as corpses.

What's more important is that the settings of these people are all three-dimensional, which is different from ordinary manga characters. These characters are very rich, and every angle and side profile of the characters is drawn, which looks very real.

"I said teacher, what are you drawing?" Two days later, Tomato couldn't help being curious, and found a chance for Meng Huo to drink water and asked him: "You are going to make a 3D animation?" ?”

Meng Huo shook his head and said with a smile, "It's not animation, it's a game."

"Game!?" Tomato was taken aback. Those characters were all game characters? But isn't the character design of the text adventure game also a comic-type character design? This kind of character design doesn't look like a q-version model of the handheld - it looks like a regular computer game.

"Teacher, you..." Tomato was dumbfounded: "Could it be that you want to make computer games?"

"I have this idea." Meng Huo nodded, but after a moment of contemplation, he shook his head again and said, "However, I haven't written the horoscope yet, and I don't know if it will be successful. Now I just draw some characters and hand them over to the game It's just a test..."

He Qian reported to him a while ago that the game engine has almost improved, so Meng Huo drew some character designs, and he will return to Manga Island after a while, just taking advantage of this time to see if the game engine can improve Make the person you want.

In fact, Meng Huo had already sent several character designs to him through the computer, and when he returned to Manga Island, he would be able to see He Qian's results.

"It's just a human design?" Tomato regained his composure and looked at Meng Huo strangely: "It can't be that simple. If it's just a human design, what are you doing with the computer, teacher?"

Meng Huo froze for a moment, then smiled wryly: "Okay, I have prepared some written materials."

"That's not just an idea!" Hearing this, Xi Wenlin next to him couldn't help but interjected: "Even the written materials are ready, teacher, you must be sure, I don't believe that the next game Is it an orthodox computer game? Standalone or online game?"

"If it's successful, it should be an online game." Meng Huo sighed in his heart. He really didn't know what to do. It was absolutely true that this game said it was nothing. The reason for preparing written materials is also because the database of this game is too large, even if it is him, it is estimated that it will not be complete within a year or so.

This is the largest work he has been involved in. Even if everything goes well, it will take several years for the new game to be released-of course, there is no sign of horoscopes, and Meng Huo is just preparing in advance. He is not sure It's not really possible to make this game, but with such a huge amount of data, if you wait until the game is made to start preparations, it will be too late.

Meng Huo is free recently, so it's better to prepare early than not at all.

"You really don't expect much..." Seeing the surprised expressions of the two assistants, he couldn't help laughing: "The next game is still a text adventure game. As for this online game, it's really just an idea at the moment. The company doesn't have the conditions to make it yet."

"condition?"

"Well, whether it's technology, employees, or even capital... I don't think the company will be willing to bear it." Meng Huo nodded: "This is a large game. Once construction starts, it will require huge resources, and our company Now it is still mainly comics." (to be continued...) R1292
