Rebirth Starts at 7 Million

Luo Fan did not pay much attention to the promotion of shared bicycles. He handed over the matter to Cao Shuai, and he himself was developing Unreal Engine with Xu Jiale and the others.

Luo Fan hesitated for a while, and didn't tell Xu Jiale and the others about the existence of Xiaoqi, but only said that he wanted to make an intelligent game engine and let Xu Jiale and the others cooperate.

The five people that Luo Fan called were the backbone of the company. Although they felt that Luo Fan was wasting time on a whim, they still obeyed.

What everyone did not expect was that the development speed of this Unreal Engine was much faster than expected.

They were only responsible for the peripheral framework and operation, and Luo Fan himself took care of the core AI technology and logic code of Unreal Engine.

In this way, this Unreal Engine was so sparsely created.

Then Luo Fan asked Xu Jiale to perform a functional test on the Unreal Engine, and at the same time asked Wang Jing to order some motion capture equipment. He was going to pull out a motion capture booth.

Unconsciously, the time came to September 5, 2016.

Today, the final test of Unreal Engine is over.

Luo Fan looked at the engine editor opened on the screen in front of him. Although he had used the test himself, he still couldn't hide his excitement after hearing Xu Jiale's words beside him.

"Boss, the Unreal Engine we developed is too awesome, it can definitely satisfy the sub-components of the virtual micro-polygon geometry system and the full dynamic global illumination of the cinematic masterpiece.

The animation system physics engine collision detection and real-time rendering also far exceed other similar products on the market. "Xu Jiale said excitedly.

Luo Fan is naturally very clear about what he said. After all, this engine was developed by Xiao Qi at his request.

network

However, Xiao Qi did not achieve 100% of the functions that Luo Fan said, only 60% to 70%.

There are many reasons for this, but the bottom line is that Unreal Engine's artificial intelligence is not too high.

Despite this, it is no exaggeration to say that using this engine to develop games or make 3D animations, the production cycle of a few months under normal circumstances will be directly reduced to a few weeks, and the final results will be better.

And through this engine to make games,

Animation, as well as virtual reality motion capture system and other full range, can abandon all kinds of resource plug-ins, all can be generated intelligently.

In general, using this Unreal Engine can save time, effort and resources, and the results are much better than other engines on the market.

At this moment, Luo Fan suddenly thought of something, turned his head and asked Xu Jiale, "Mr. Xu, has the name of the engine been confirmed?"

"Of course the name is waiting for you to pick it up! How can we be qualified?" Xu Jiale said with a smile.

"Then it's called the Starry Sky Engine. The starry sky is infinite, and the heights that people's imagination and technology can reach are also infinite." Luo Fan said after thinking for a while.

When Wang Jing, Xu Jiale and the others heard the words, they looked at each other and saw the excitement in each other's eyes.

"Boss, you are right, the height that human technology can reach is unlimited. I can guarantee that our star engine will soon dominate the entire engine licensing market." Wang Jing vowed.

"Indeed, the appearance of this engine is simply a miracle in the industry. A few months ago, I couldn't believe that I could come up with something of this level." Xu Jiale echoed.

"Who says it's not, it can only be said that our boss's level of artificial intelligence is too high. The core artificial intelligence and algorithms of the Star Engine are all done by the boss himself."

"One thing to say, yes! One person can handle Unreal Engine's artificial intelligence. I doubt whether the boss has an artificial intelligence assistant to help."

"Don't talk nonsense, it's all about technology, don't you know that this kind of thing only exists in movies?" Xu Jiale said angrily.

"That's right, don't say such things in the future. You are all the technical backbones of Xingyuan, and you are not afraid of being embarrassed to say such things." After speaking, Wang Jing turned to Luo Fan and asked, "Boss, when will we publish this article? game engine?"

"I'm going to set the press conference at the end of the month, what do you think?" Luo Fan asked rhetorically.

"The time at the end of the month is a little tight, but it's not impossible, it should be possible." Xu Jiale said.

"Then it will be the end of the month. You should tell the people in the logistics department and let them arrange it quickly."

"Good boss."

"By the way, one more thing, the motion capture equipment I asked you to order has arrived, right?"

"It's here, we have already built a motion capture room, but the candidate to wear the motion capture has not yet been determined." Xu Jiale replied.

"Is it so difficult to find a motion capture officer? Doesn't Xingyuan Entertainment have so many trainees? Just find one!" Luo Fan said with a frown.

"Boss, the key is not the motion capture personnel. The motion capture personnel involved in the filming must involve the Starry Sky Engine. We feel that we can't just go to Starfar Entertainment to select people.

Even if we sign a non-disclosure agreement with them, there is no guarantee that they will not be bribed by others and leak relevant information. " Xu Jiale explained.

"Then let Chen Junmiao come."

"She is filming in the United States, and she is expected to come back next month."

Luo Fan was silent when he heard the words. His initial publicity plan was actually very simple.

According to Luo Fan's idea, since it is to promote the star engine, it must let users know its power.

Therefore, Luo Fan intends to use motion capture technology to let the star engine model and render to produce 3D animation videos for release.

This can not only play a good publicity effect, but also do not occupy too much promotional resources.

Moreover, this method can also maintain a sense of mystery before the conference, and mobilize the user's appetite and curiosity.

That's why Luo Fan asked Xu Jiale to order motion capture equipment and build a motion capture room.

A small motion capture studio costs nearly ten million, which is comparable to the Hollywood film industry.

However, Luo Fan never thought that the motion capture sheds were already there, but they were actually stuck by the arresting officers.

And Luo Fan didn't know what to say, after all, Xu Jiale and the others also thought about the confidentiality of the Starry Sky Engine.

"Cough, boss, in fact, I think there are people around you who are suitable for motion capture." Xu Jiayue said, clearing her throat.

"next to me?"

"That's right, in order to attract fans to the greatest extent, the avatar we created must be dominated by cute girls. It's better to be able to sing and dance, right?"

Luo Fan nodded, he thought so too.

"Boss, all of our technical department are rough men, their genders don't match, and they don't even know how to dance." Wang Jing said.

"There are women in our game department, but they have similar work and rest habits to ours. They are not the kind of delicate girls, and they probably don't know how to dance." Xu Jiale echoed.

"Don't go around the corners, speak straight!" Luo Fan said impatiently.

"Cough! Boss, we think Xiao Su is quite suitable." Wang Jing said.

"That's right, Xiao Su said when she was hired that she often ran and exercised when she was in college, and she was a member of the dance club, so she should be qualified for this role."

On the other hand, Luo Fan's eyes lit up when he heard these words.

Let Su Qing motion capture is indeed a good suggestion.

First of all, Su Qing is his secretary and life assistant. She also knows about the Star Engine, so she doesn't need to be afraid to reveal any company secrets.

Secondly, Su Qing is in good condition in all aspects, with slender limbs and elegant temperament.

"The boss, although the motion capture personnel are both male and female, but it is used to promote the virtual image, the motion capture person should try to be as appropriate as possible. We always have to leave some good things for the audience." Xu Jiale saw Luo Fan's heart a little, and hurriedly continued. advised.

"Yes! Boss, we all think Xiao Su is the perfect fit." Wang Jing agreed.

"Okay, okay! Don't talk about it! Wait for me to communicate with Su Qing, you go to prepare first!"

After Wang Jing and the others left, Luo Fan called Su Qing to the office.

Su Qing was wearing an OL outfit as usual, her face was painted with makeup, her long hair was combed into a ponytail, and she looked very capable.

Luo Fan looked at Su Qing carefully and said, "Cough! Su Qing, I have something I want to talk to you about."

"Boss, I don't accept unspoken rules." Su Qing said blankly.

"What unspoken rules! Don't talk nonsense, I want you to participate in the motion capture work of the Star Engine."

"Me? Motion capture? Do you want me to dance in motion capture equipment, boss?"

"almost."

"I refuse!" Su Qing chose to refuse without hesitation.

"What's the reason?"

"It's so shameful! There are so many people in the motion capture studio and so many cameras, I can't do this kind of thing." Su Qing said with a blushing face.

"Your year-end bonus will increase by 20% this year."

"Boss, it's not about money."

"50%."

"Boss, it's really not about money, I can't do it with thin skin."

"You double your year-end bonus this year, plus 5 days of annual leave."

"Boss, don't worry! I will go through fire and water, and I will do whatever I want!"

In the afternoon, in the motion capture shed, Su Qing had already put on the motion capture equipment, because the clothes were tighter, showing a perfect figure that usually does not look like a mountain or water.

As Luo Fan's secretary and life assistant, Su Qing never imagined that she would return to her old business one day.

Su Qing did join the dance club when she was in college, and she also participated in some activities with the dance troupe of the dance club at that time, but I don't know how many years have passed. She stood on the stage again and was locked by more cameras than before. Su Qing was still very nervous.

But when she thought that this year's year-end awards could be doubled with just a few dances, Su Qing's nervousness turned into motivation.

But such things as dancing are not motivated, because the relevant videos will be released in avatars at that time.

Therefore, the publishing platform must be a small station where the two-dimensional culture is more popular.

Therefore, Su Qing needs to dance mostly house dances. Su Qing originally learned street dance, which requires a lot of changes.

Besides, since it is mainly for publicity and promotion, the video must not be too short, so Su Qing also has to keep up with her physical strength.

But since becoming Luo Fan's secretary, Su Qing has rarely devoted time to exercise, and her physical strength is definitely not as good as before.

For this reason, the company specially hired a dance teacher and a nutritionist for Su Qing.

For the next week, Su Qing stayed in the motion capture shed until 1 or 2 pm every day.

Finally a week later, Su Qing's condition was adjusted to the best.

"Xiao Su, can we start?" the director in the motion capture booth asked.

This is Luo Fan's secretary. In ancient times, it was the eunuch of the emperor's palm seal. Even if Xu Jiale was a "first-rank officer", he had to give some respect.

"Mr. Xu is fine." Su Qing nodded and said.

Hearing Su Qing's words, Xu Jiale, who was sitting in front of the computer screen, made a start gesture, and then Su Qing began to dance according to the rehearsed dance moves.

Not long after Su Qing started, Luo Fan gently pushed the door in, walked straight to Xu Jiale, and looked at the computer screen.

"Boss, you are here."

"Don't worry about me, you are busy with yours, I will just take a look." After speaking, Luo Fan turned his attention to the picture on the screen.

Under the powerful function of the Starry Sky Engine, the avatar set by Xingyuan is flexibly twisting according to Su Qing's movements, and both the image quality and the modeling and rendering have surpassed the highest level in the current market.

The most important thing is that videos of this quality are produced very fast. As long as there is no problem with Su Qing's dance, several high-quality 3D animation videos can be produced at the same time, which can be uploaded to the website at any time. kind of.

Under normal circumstances, it takes at least a week to produce such a high-quality video by simply using motion capture and 3D animation software, and the effect is not necessarily satisfactory. Therefore, in terms of efficiency alone, the Starry Sky Engine is invincible.

"Boss, please name our company's avatar!" Xu Jiale said.

"Name...let's call Xiaoqi!"

In the afternoon, Gao Meng got a dance video made by Unreal Engine, and then according to Luo Fan's order, Gao Meng personally registered an account at Xiaopo Station under the name Xiaoqi, and gave the enterprise certification at the same time.

After getting the video certification, Gao Meng directly selected this video, thought of a suitable title, and jointly released it on Xingyuan's official account and Xiaoqi's personal account.

In order to ensure that the video is seen by enough people, Gao Meng also asked the staff of Xiaopo Station to increase the playback volume of the video through the background, and send it to the popular as soon as possible, and all resources will be green light.

Gao Meng has seen this video, and she knows that although there is no suspense to become popular with the quality of the video, it will definitely take longer in terms of time.

Su Qing has become a motion capture actor for a project that can be valued by the boss. The importance is self-evident. Gao Meng must make the video data grow rapidly.

In this way, the video passed the review in seconds and was released in seconds.

Xingyuan's official account has more than 2 million fans on Xiaopo Station, and many people clicked on the video as soon as it was released:

"This is my new wife, you go and put coins in my wife."

"You're not the first to see me."

"The protagonist of this mmd is too strong, things are really smooth, and it kills all the videos of Xiaopo Station in seconds."

"Isn't this avatar made with motion capture technology? Why is it so delicate?"

"Fuck, this dance move is absolutely incredible."

"What is Xingyuan doing? Are you going to enter the 3D animation industry?"
