Super Game Empire

Pitt appointed an employee to test this set of motion capture equipment. After the employee took off his shirt, several people familiarly surrounded him and distinguished a large number of data sensor sheets and wires according to color and number, and the smallest ones were

The sensor is attached to his face, and then the slightly wider sensor is attached to the joints such as the neck, cheekbones, shoulder blades, etc.

In the end, the person had about 60 sensors on his body. Everyone found that the number of sensors on the tester's head was dense, far more than the chest and abdomen, and they didn't know why.

Peter explained: "Let's first look at what kind of 3D models can be made on a human face based on the precise recording of 48 sensors!"

The software was running on the computer, and Pitt operated the program. With the help of the positioning of the camera and sensor, the employee made several facial movements, smiled, frowned, and laughed happily. The character models on the computer recorded his face in detail.

The muscle movements and virtual lines of characters present various expressions.

Pete called out a secondary program, and it took only 10 minutes. The virtual line character avatar was quickly covered with a layer of skin, and it was still green in skin, very much like... Monster Shrek!

Moreover, this monster Shrek can make smiles and frowns himself, exactly the same as the tester's actions just now. The dimples on his face when he laughs happily are vaguely visible, and it seems that only the final rendering is needed, which is almost the same as a human.

The monster will appear vividly and be given to human life.

Then there are movements. The tester's joint movements above the chest and abdomen are very slow. Wave, salute, touch the chin, and the virtual characters also make corresponding movement trajectories. Under powerful calculations, each sensor records the positioning in detail.

The track shows the wonder of the synchronization of actions between the tester and the computer screen.

In Yang Yun's opinion, this is not a high-tech thing. He has seen virtual reality games. This technology is a bit naive, and he has seen similar equipment when filming "Cadillac and Dinosaurs".

Otherwise, how did those dinosaurs come from?

However, Vita Digital is an independent intellectual property right, and has just taken the first step to achieve this level. It is gratifying!

Luc Besson attaches great importance to this technology. He has filmed black and white science fiction films, crime drama thrillers, documentaries, and killer films like Lyon over the years. "Resident Evil 1" is the first modern science fiction he directed. It will also be him

The first time I used computer effects.

At this moment, he thought of many application methods and asked: "Can zombie dogs do this? We use Rottweiler to shoot in real scenes, and then use computer special effects to replace the skin of the zombie dog?"

"That's right!" Pete happily patted Luc Besson's shoulder and said, "Luc, although the box office of the movie I made was not as good as yours, you still have to listen to me in the production of movie special effects!"

These two good friends joked with each other and laughed. It seems that the only problem in the movie is left with the most difficult evolution of the Licker, but there are always ways, and everyone is full of confidence.

Yang Yun thought about this set of technology and was ready to develop a set of useful virtual reality motion capture game technology in Europe. If you start with this set of motion capture, it may not take twenty years, but only ten years can be completed.

.

He is a time traveler with a much higher vision than Microsoft, Nintendo and Sony, so he can see how this technology develops in the future. Other game manufacturers may not realize this until ten years later.

The way of cooperation with Vita Digital still needs to be discussed in detail. This is a tug-of-war, and everyone wants to get a little more, which is normal.

The memorandum signed initially by the two parties was that the cooperation method was 50% each. Longteng invested 50 million US dollars to purchase large computer groups and send programmers to participate in the research and development, and used the existing 3D modeling and rendering technologies of the two companies.

Carry out integration.

In addition, this set of motion capture equipment and software allows Yang Yun to take away one, and then share the source code after signing a formal contract in terms of technology. The two parties shook hands in a friendly manner to celebrate the success of the cooperation.

Marcos and Eric flew directly to Shanghai, and Lucbesson and Yang Yun went to France again. The filming work of the movie could almost begin to prepare. With Yang Yun's insistence, Lucbesson had to return to China to pack up the things, because

Resident Evil 1 will be filmed in China!

Xiao Liangyu picked up the plane and arranged for someone to pick up several large boxes of luggage Yang Yun brought. He asked curiously: "Mr. Yang, did you dug up the treasure in New Zealand this time?"

Yang Yun smiled and said, "Of course it's a baby! You will know what it is when you see it, and you will also ask you to find a suitable person for me!"

After returning to Longteng European R&D Center and installing motion capture software and equipment demonstration, Yang Yun introduced: "This set of equipment and software is only the primary stage for the time being. We will continue to provide its subsequent version to try to make motion capture more

Fast and more precise. I want you to find someone for me, preferably like Milk Philips.”

Xiao Liangyu said in surprise: "Croatian Men? That Croatian Congressman?"

Yang Yun nodded with a smile: "Yes, it's the one who is the prototype of the King of Fighters. But I guess it's impossible for me to invite him to help us do things. He is the instructor of the Croatian special forces. Just find someone who is about the same.

Fortunately, the retired senior special forces officer asked him to design a large number of modern fighting movements for us and dig deep into this set of motion capture tools."

Xiao Liangyu thought about it and asked mysteriously: "Design fighting should not be the main purpose, right?"

Yang Yun laughed: "Why have you become so smart? Could it be that I didn't pretend?"

Xiao Liangyu smiled and said, "There is no need to make such a big noise in designing fighting actions, right? Besides, you are so far-sighted and far-sighted, and you must have more purposes. Don't let me guess..."

This flattery...it's very comfortable!

Yang Yun smiled and said, "Stop flattering me, I ask you, I have told you to let 1C have a good relationship with the weapon supplier. It seems that you have not done enough! I will give you a lot of war and shooting in the future.

For games, don’t let me lose track of the links. If I want to use AK47 and the result is not allowed, I will be unhappy."

Xiao Liangyu quickly patted his chest and promised: "This is absolutely impossible! Heavy weapons such as warships, submarines, fighters, etc. may not be authorized, but guns, ammunition and special weapons should be fine."

"No! Warships, submarines and aircraft must be obtained!" Yang Yun shook his head and said without refusal: "If modern submarines are impossible, submarines in World War II must be authorized. Even if you purchase a whole retired and scrapped submarine from Russia, you must

Get the data of warships and aircraft carriers suitable for ship-based operations, as well as fighter bombers. If you can't get it, how can you make a flight simulation game in the future? How can you make a sea war game?"

Xiao Liangyu's eyes were almost falling off: "Mr. Yang! It is illegal to sell arms!"

Yang Yun said angrily: "When did I say I wanted to sell arms? For example, a submarine, the player plays the commander of an Allied submarine, ambushing near the supply line of the Axis of Evil, and blowing up the enemy's supply ships with torpedoes.

Do you think there is any selling point in this game when dealing with enemy destroyers and anti-submarine aircraft?”

Xiao Liangyu almost fainted. What Yang Yun said seemed very simple. He just drove a submarine, ambushed the enemy, fired torpedoes, avoided deep-water bombs, and escaped under the enemy's siege. He wanted to get it himself.

But this kind of creativity is really a mess. Any military fan may think of this idea, and it can even be extended. Replacing the tank war in "Dune 2" with a naval war is also a good game creativity.

The key is that everyone will think about this kind of creativity, but whether it can be made or not is fun or not, whether the game is made or not, and no one knows whether the player will buy it or not before it is made.

The submarine commander game Yang Yun mentioned is the template "Hunting Snorkel", but how could Xiao Liangyu know how high the status of this "Hunting Snorkel" is in the minds of game fans?

He just felt that every time Yang Yun proposed a new game, it was something that everyone had thought of, or what everyone could think of, it was the kind of inconspicuous creativity that could not see any big selling points.

"Are you really planning to do submarine games?" Xiao Liangyu felt that this was a very difficult thing. Technology is one aspect, and reality is the other aspect.

Yang Yun nodded: "Of course, otherwise why did I keep asking you to have a good relationship with the weapon dealer? Firearms, rockets, grenades and so on are far from enough. This time you find a retired officer for me, and you must find a famous army.

It is famous, and the bigger the network, the better. In the future, submarines and carrier-based aircraft in naval combat games, fighters and bombers in air combat games, all depends on you!"

Xiao Liangyu suddenly felt that the pressure was very great and asked the Chinese to ask for information about advanced foreign weapons dealers. Oh, let's try it!

Yang Yun spent a week in Paris, visited many European luxury car manufacturers in depth, and saw the triumphant Dakar Rally Warriors.

Usually, the Dakar rally lasts about one month every year, but this year, due to unrest at the junction of Algeria and Morocco, the organizing committee had to approach Libya from Algeria to take advantage of Niger, and the itinerary doubled.

It took a month and a half to travel more than 20,000 kilometers before returning.

The contestants were exhausted and dusty. Most of the participating vehicles were broken and broken. There were 4 accidents of people who overturned, two cars and three people died, one motorcycle overturned, and one person died, and one RV heavy truck overturned.

Two people died, which is the cruelest Dakar Rally in history!

But the Dakar Rally is also a game for the brave, and more people flock to this ranks regardless of their own.

The Shanghai General Motors Team won the 15th place, and GMC is worthy of being a world-class pickup truck. It has a long-term speed of more than 120 yards per hour and has not yet caused a car accident. General Motors' modified pickup truck withstood the test of the Sahara Desert and the Gobi Desert, allowing

Many people who are interested think that the opportunity has come.

Then look at the Great Wall Dragon Teng Convoy...
