Super Game Empire

Wellington, Vita Digital, a small workshop-style studio with only seven people, is named under the name of director Peter Jackson. Although it is not famous, it is deeply appreciated by Luc Besson.

"Peter, long time no see!"

"Big Director! And President Yang! Welcome to your arrival!"

Everyone gathered in a small studio, and more than a dozen people seemed quite crowded. Ceo, who was responsible for daily management in Vita, explained awkwardly: "Sorry, everyone, Vita Digital's new office is still being renovated, if you

After half a month late, we could sit in the spacious and bright conference room and chat…”

Luc Besson didn't care at all. He leaned against a workbench and looked around for a week and asked, "It seems that Vita Digital has made a lot of money with the movie "Angel of Sin"?"

Pete pretended to be distressed: "Of course, I've divided a large portion of my box office income!"

Everyone laughed, who didn't know that it was because they wanted to shoot the movie "Angel of Sin" that made Vita Digital set up? Moreover, Vita Digital Studio is Pitt's private asset. "Angel of Sin" is only directed by Pitt, even if it is separated.

It doesn't matter much box office.

Yang Yun didn't care about this bad environment and said, "We won't mind the environment here either. It's impossible to wait for another half a month. We can't wait for half an hour!"

Everyone laughed in kindness, and Yang Yun expressed his intentions by the way. He wanted to cooperate with Vita Digital to study special effects technologies in movies, TV and games.

Pete did not make a statement, but instead asked someone to clean up an area and let everyone watch the current technical achievements of Vita Digital. While demonstrating, they explained the difference between movie special effects and game special effects.

Overall, in most cases, movie special effects are much more complex than game special effects. At the same time, it is much more real, making the audience feel that movie CG is more exquisite than game CG, and it cannot distinguish what is real and what is virtual.

For example, various automakers in Transformers, as well as various alien creatures in Avatar, they are as if they are real.

The biggest difference between the two special effects is that in the rendering technology algorithm, movie special effects are rendered in real terms, and game special effects use approximate algorithms.

Rendering can be understood as a screen that is artificially produced countless times. Every time it is rendered, light, color, and various details will be deepened and subdivided once, and it will be closer to reality.

Excellent movie CG will use a supercomputer. After massive real rendering calculations, you can finally get a scene that is infinitely close to the reality. It takes hundreds of hours to use hundreds of CPUs to render a picture in one second, and the game is

A computer uses one second to render a picture. So the results of the two are completely incomparable.

Games cannot achieve the exaggeration of movie production. Few game production companies purchase professional graphics processing GPUs. Nvidia professional graphics cards are not vegetarians. They master the world's best graphics card technology. This technology is what they eat.

The best graphics cards can be sold at sky-high prices, and only movies can afford this money.

For example, in "Transformers", Optimus Prime transformed, used more than 10,000 parts when doing 3D modeling. In addition, animation production, motion capture technology, background production, virtual synthesis, auxiliary and lighting effects and other post-production

, In the end, the entire cost was $150 million, while "Transformers 2" was $250 million.

Which game dares to do this?

Yang Yun also graduated from computer science. Although he is not good at it, he at least knows that there are quite a difference between the two.

He can spend money to find Square's game cg, but he never asks them to make movie cg of the Transformers level. Like the Licking Evil 1 this time, the Licking Evolution is only for Square's.

Just a request for less than 5 seconds.

Because this is the limit that game production companies like Square are able to bear. If you want to be more realistic and want to be like a real person, you can only go to the industrial magic light of George Lucas in Hollywood, or James Cameron's digital field.

, They have services for renting professional rendering supercomputers, but the fees are super expensive!

Finally attracted Squarewell to this pit. As long as they plan to make CG movies, they must redesign the rendering algorithm, which is equivalent to organizing 3D special effects technology from scratch. Moreover, the full 90 minutes of CG production will burn Squarewell for several

$100 million in funding!

After Pete finished explaining, he was kind to remind him, saying, "Maybe what Longteng needs is not movie-level rendering technology, but a simple game modeling is enough."

Marcos and others understood that the president of Vita Digital is a bit despised by the company that makes gaming CG?

Yang Yun smiled and shook his head: "I wonder if Luke told you?"

Lucbesson took over and said, "Peter, I signed a contract with Longteng a few days ago and will be directing the movie "Resident Evil 1". There are a large number of mutated biochemical monsters that require special effects. I need your help! Because Longteng is also

A movie "Success Squad 2" has to borrow Hollywood special effects teams, so..."

Then Pete suddenly realized and said as a self-deprecatingly: "Sorry, I don't know much about the game company. I don't know that Longteng is also developing into special effects movies."

Yang Yun nodded: "Yes Pete, in the future, Longteng will have many games that can be adapted into movies. So what I need is not low-end game special effects technology, but hopes to cooperate with Vita Digital to jointly develop 3D technology.

Longteng's biggest competitor in the game industry is Sony Computer Entertainment, and Sony's graphics and image operations company Imageworks also does special effects. Doesn't you Vita Digital want to surpass them?"

Whatever Longteng wants, but Pitt is not very interested, because there is no need for the two companies to intersect.

But Yang Yun's last sentence touched Pete. Among the three most awesome special effects companies in the world, Sony is one of them, second only to Hollywood in the United States, two industry leaders.

"Maybe to some extent, our two companies in different industries have the same competitor..." Yang Yun looked at Pete with a smile. He slowly looked at him and said slowly: "Does this mean it means

, Can we also have a common language?"

No one talks in the studio, only two humanoid monsters fighting with weapons in the demonstration video, making ping-pong metal collisions, fighting and chasing, which already have the prototype of an excellent CG movie.

Lucbesson is an intermediary, and of course he wants to match the two sides. He looks carefully at Pitt and Richard, paying attention to their expressions, and trying to say something.

Yang Yun was also looking forward to it. If Vita Digital is willing to cooperate, his confidence in dealing with Sony will increase. Vita Digital is no less than Sony Image's famous special effects studio. If "The Lord of the Rings" is done, it's

It's just a joke.

If Vita Digital refuses, he can only find a way to trick Square into making it hard again until he acquires Square CG special effects, and then continue to invest funds in independent research and development and strive to become an industrial magic light based on Square CG special effects.

Such a super special effects company.

Of course, cooperation is the best win-win situation. Yang Yun is unwilling to go to the last step, and no one wants to.

"enemy."

A word suddenly popped up in Pete's mouth, which made everyone unresponsive, but then he laughed: "It's not a common competitor, but an enemy..."

Yang Yun smiled, everyone laughed, and gave the two of them a lot of applause.

Yang Yun held Pete's hand, and both of them saw a strong sense of fighting and confidence in each other's eyes.

Longteng can guarantee a large number of practical application opportunities for Vita Digital, and Vita Digital can also ensure that Longteng will not worry about CG animation and 3D modeling in the future. When the two companies cooperate, the 3D engine technology will be complementary. This is a win-win situation!

Luc Besson, a strong man, hugged the two of them and was happy that the two companies were working together.

He must be the first beneficiary. The cg special effects of "Resident Evil 1" have not yet been settled. Although Yang Yun promised Square will take it out, Luc Besson has no confidence at all, and Vita Digital, he is very relieved.

!

"That's great Pete! Although we can also be considered director competitors, you probably won't charge more for your Allies' production costs, right?" Luc Besson patted Pitt's back heavily, "Congratulations! Found it!

Let Longteng cooperate with this powerful multinational company!”

Pete smiled: "One code is one code! "The Angel of Sin" is the precedent, I will not charge you a penny less budget!"

Yang Yun held Pete's hand and said, "Of course there is a fee. There is an old Chinese saying, brothers settle the score clearly."

Everyone laughed and the atmosphere was very harmonious.

The specific negotiations can be done later. Pete also held this idea, and at this moment he was a bit showing off and said mysteriously: "Luke, Mr. Yang, let's take a look at the latest technology developed by our Vita Digital,

I promise to surprise you!"

oh?

There are still private goods hidden, but they didn't take them out just now?

Everyone was interested. Richard called a few employees and brought out a complete set of mechanical devices from the corner, as well as a large number of connections. Yang Yun immediately understood and exclaimed: "Real-person motion capture system?"

Pete was a little surprised. He nodded in admiration. It seemed that Mr. Yang was quite sensible!

Richard explained: "Yes, this is when we use a high-speed camera and connect it to the computer server, we can automatically generate a 3D animation."

Yang Yun saw all the accessories clearly and breathed a sigh of relief. This was just a set of the most basic and simple motion capture system. Through the set fixed points, the movements and expressions of the real person are restored as realistically as possible. In fact, it is twenty years later.

Virtual reality motion capture systems are far different!

"Let me show you how this system works!" Pitt was a little excited. This was his treasure at the bottom of his chest.

He must use this technology to impress Yang Yun so that he will take the initiative in cooperation negotiations! (To be continued, please search Piaotianwen, the novel is better, updated and faster!
