Play Game of Life

In the motion capture studio, An Yunkai began to introduce several basic movements to be completed in this audition to the two actors playing Lu Bu.

Teacher Zhang Bei, as a proven veteran artist, is here as a special consultant this time. Not only him, but also other actors from the Three Kingdoms are also special consultants. Of course, there is no need for auditions.

Although Yang Ming fits Lu Bu's image very well in appearance, there is still a possibility that he does not meet the requirements.

The requirements for motion capture actors are relatively low compared to film and television dramas. Some major 3A companies even have precedents of not hiring motion capture actors and hiring internal employees to play game characters, and they actually won awards at game parties.

This is enough to show that ordinary motion capture actors do not actually need special professional knowledge.

However, no matter how low the requirements are, it is still compared to traditional film and television dramas. It is still difficult for ordinary people to complete various actions well.

Therefore, we still need to strictly control it and let An Yunkai, a professional motion capture actor, provide guidance and teaching.

"Come on, I'll just do a few simple movements and you can follow them. There is a mirror opposite. If you feel something is wrong, correct it in time."

An Yunkai said and began to demonstrate.

These movements are basically from easy to difficult. The simplest is just a pose, such as walking, standing, sitting down, etc. These are very simple for Yang Ming. His body shape is already very suitable. He only needs to simply do If you imitate it, you can make more domineering moves than An Yunkai.

Then, An Yunkai began to increase the difficulty and perform some more complex actions, such as some simple moves and interactions with other characters and other props.

Finally, there are some difficult movements. It can be clearly felt that Yang Ming can't keep up when it comes to these movements. Even if he can barely do it, the movements are severely deformed, although he still looks domineering against the background of his figure. , but also seems very obtuse, even a little funny.

Yang Ming said with some embarrassment: "Sorry, these actions are indeed too professional. Maybe I still need to contact you for a long time."

An Yunkai smiled: "It doesn't matter. In fact, these movements are just a simple test. Some movements can be completed by me, and you can master the movements very quickly. It is much better than ordinary people. You must practice it." Have you passed?"

Yang Ming smiled. This was obviously a self-evident question. The muscles on his body already showed that he was a sports person. He had also been exposed to some basic fighting knowledge, so he could master many movements far better than before. Ordinary people need to be quick.

Motion capture actors in action games need to do some fancy and beautiful actions, and they need to be able to use various weapons. Fortunately, many of these actions can be done by An Yunkai, as long as the model is enlarged. .

Yang Ming was responsible for more of the daily plot, so after some testing, An Yunkai believed that he was enough to complete Lu Bu's motion capture task.

As for Mr. Zhang Bei, he was checking the various equipment in the studio with great interest.

"Are these motion capture devices?"

There are various devices in front of Zhang Bei, including older facial expression capture equipment and motion capture suits worn on the body, as well as newer devices that can be directly scanned and entered.

As for newer VR game cabins specifically used for motion collection, there are also them, but they are not displayed.

These motion capture devices can be said to be almost everything from every era, almost like a museum or exhibition.

Although technology is constantly being updated, these older motion capture devices are not completely useless. They have basically undergone technical iterations and may be more accurate than new devices in some specific usage scenarios.

Lu Zhixing nodded: "Yes, these are motion capture devices. We usually choose different devices according to different needs."

Zhang Bei was a little curious: "Then do we also need to wear these things for filming? I have seen some behind-the-scenes of the production of the game. This is simply a performance without real objects. Don't tell me, it is quite difficult."

Lu Zhixing smiled: "Teacher Zhang Bei, what you are talking about should be from before. At that time, motion capture suits and green screens were mainly used for game motion capture. Later, technological innovations occurred, and various motion capture technologies emerged in endlessly, so the methods were also different. It’s different. Different companies may have completely different motion capture.”

Zhang Bei asked again: "What about your company?"

Just as Lu Zhixing was about to answer, he heard a familiar voice reply: "We are different from other companies!"

The two of them looked back and saw Li Rushan running over.

Lu Zhixing joked: "Huh? Mr. Li, don't you have a special interview task for Diao Chan and Sun Shangxiang's body models?"

Li Rushan coughed twice in embarrassment: "What's wrong! I've left this kind of trivial matter to Liu Bo. In fact, among these motion capture actors, I have always been the most optimistic about Lu Bu, not to mention my childhood idol Zhang Teacher Bei, how could you not come? Really. Mr. Lu likes to slander me."

He turned to look at Zhang Bei: "Teacher Zhang Bei, in fact, other game companies are basically still using green screens for shooting. Although motion capture technology continues to innovate, there is no need to cut out pictures as before, but green screens Screen shooting is still retained as a habit.

"After all, there is no real scene. No matter what scene is used, it is the same, so we still use green screen."

Zhang Bei suddenly nodded: "Oh, your company should also use green screen, right? What is the difference between green screen and other companies?"

Li Rushan shook his head proudly: "No! Our company uses all real-life shooting! We strive to give the motion capture actors the most immersive experience, and there is no need to perform any non-physical performances at all!"

Zhang Bei was quite shocked: "They were all shot in real locations? Aren't you making games?"

Li Rushan chuckled: "Of course, but you have to strive for excellence when making games. Everything we do is in line with the standards of film and television dramas!"

He turned to look at Yang Ming: "So you don't have to worry about whether you will feel uncomfortable doing some non-physical performance in front of the green screen. When the time comes, we will arrange thousands of troops and horses in the real scene, and everyone will be neatly dressed, which will definitely make you feel like you are there. It’s impossible not to feel the grand scene of this place!”

What Li Rushan said is a bit exaggerated. There is currently no such conditions for a massive army, and the project team's scheduling capabilities are not yet up to par. There are no similar unparalleled scenes in the game.

But what he said about the real-location shooting was not a lie.

Zhang Bei still didn't believe it, thinking that this little fat guy was unreliable and always talking about cheating. He looked at Lu Zhixing and asked, "Mr. Lu, is it true?"

Lu Zhixing nodded: "Of course, we have determined the filming locations in Zhuojun Film and Television City and Liangxi Film and Television City, and are setting up the scenery. The required extras, props, etc. are also being prepared."

Zhang Bei couldn't help but sigh: "Zhuojun? I really miss that. It seems that the filming of Lao Sanguo was there... It's just that so many years have passed, things have changed and people have changed..."
