There is a Problem with This Online Game Planning

I saw young faces showing willing expressions.

Li Guangsheng was very satisfied.

As expected of a person from Linmu Studio, he has a good mental outlook!

He nodded, then lightly patted the shoulders of several people, turned his head and said to the person in charge who was dug from a famous domestic animation company: "This group of people will be handed over to you, you work hard, and strive to be in "" Before the official public beta of "Shen Ge", make a better CG than the other party."

"good."

The person in charge is Lu Hui, a middle-aged woman in her forties, with short hair and a heroic appearance.

She previously worked in a domestic company specializing in the production of CG animation. She has been in the industry for nearly ten years and has been the technical director for more than three years.

She graduated from a major in film and television production. She believes that she has professional qualities in film and television production, has received good professional training, and has excellent aesthetics and good artistic accomplishment.

But she came here because of a lot of money, after hearing Li Guangsheng's request.

Still crashing a bit.

fuck you.

Make CG that is even better than Wrath of the Lich King.

How dare I say it.

At that time, the CG had just come out, and everyone in my former employer was dumbfounded after watching it. They were shocked that a game company on the other side could produce such a top-notch CG.

Just two minutes.

No matter which aspect has been done to the extreme.

It seems that nothing has been said, but it makes people feel like watching an epic story.

As the leading animation company in China, her former employer did not dare to say that she would be able to produce such a work.

As a game company, you want to create this kind of top-notch CG that not only costs money, but also requires the painstaking efforts of the entire production team.

You want to fart.

So when she heard the request, she wanted to leave immediately.

Fortunately, Li Guangsheng's last sentence persuaded her to stay.

He said that he would find a way to dig people from Linmu Workshop.

Only then did Lu Hui feel confident and stayed.

If you can find someone from the opponent's CG production team, you can figure out the opponent's production process and some ideas.

Then analyze the success of copying the other party.

Now Lu Hui is very satisfied to see the eight production staff dug from Linmu Studio in front of her.

There are a lot of people.

She feels more confident.

"Come with me."

Lu Hui nodded to the people in front of her, and then led them to her department.

Li Guangsheng watched them go away, and then he couldn't help feeling proud,

Our company also has a professional CG team.

As long as you are willing to spend money, it is not impossible to surpass Linmu Studio.

After all, the other party can do it.

Why can't Tianhu not do it.

Li Guangsheng returned to his office with a smile on his face.

And the other side.

Lu Hui brought eight people back to the CG department where Tianhu was.

She didn't assign work immediately, but chatted with these eight people, and first figured out what they were responsible for in Linmu Workshop.

Most of these eight people are 3D MODELER, that is, 3D modelers.

There's also a rigger, an animator...

Lu Hui was stunned after hearing this.

The CG art industry is actually very similar to animation production.

The positions of storyboard directors will not be mentioned.

There must be.

Lu Hui also knew that Li Guangsheng would definitely not be able to recruit such a core figure.

But among so many people, isn't it outrageous that not a single concept designer has been recruited?

The so-called concept designer is the person who designs the modeling of characters and creatures, the modeling of weapons, the modeling of the surrounding environment and the atmosphere of the scene, etc.

This type of person is one of the most important types of work in the CG team, because design, history, functionality, and art must all be considered.

Next is the original artist or illustrator. The work that the person responsible for this kind of work needs to do is very similar to that of the concept designer, but there are still some differences in fact.

What they mainly do is... to paint well. This kind of people may not have such high requirements for design sense, but they have high requirements for the overall picture, especially the atmosphere and details.

Then there is the 3D modeler, whose main job is to turn the design of the 2D drawing into 3D, so that the modeling can rotate 360 ​​degrees without dead ends.

There are also many things to worry about, such as character modeling can not affect the post-production.

It is also necessary to have a sufficient understanding of form, proportion, structure, contour and even sculpture.

They need strong art skills, and the models made by people without art skills are likely to be a piece of shit.

As for the rigger, the main thing to do is to add the skeleton to the 3D model that needs to be moved, and then make different controllers for the subsequent animators to control.

An animator, on the other hand, wants to animate the designed and produced models.

Special effects artist, lighting engineer, technical artist, compositor in the final stage, etc.

There is nothing to say about these.

literal meaning.

So the entire CG production line.

You can't say that 3D modelers are not important. This is a very important group in CG production, and there are subdivided responsibilities such as characters, props, and scenes.

Most of the 3D modelers recruited by Li Guangsheng this time must have art skills, otherwise Linmu Studio would not have been able to recruit them, and Lu Huineng communicated with them fluently.

But what Lu Hui wanted was not them, but design talents.

In her opinion, the CG of Wrath of the Lich King is not only well-made.

The shaping of the overall atmosphere, the design of the characters, and the design of weapons are the most important.

This is the so-called conceptual design.

But here, not to mention the concept designer, there is not even an original painting.

This... is useless.

Although it is difficult to recruit excellent 3D modelers, it is not impossible to recruit such a person. If you want to find such a person, it is better to go directly to her former employer.

Those people are easy for her to use.

After all, she is familiar with it.

What she wants is someone who can design.

"...Hasn't any of you been in charge of concept design or original painting?"

After chatting for a while, Lu Hui couldn't bear it anymore and asked a question.

"Eh... Although the CG team we stayed in before had a lot of people, it didn't have any duties such as concept design, original painting, and director storyboard..."

Hear what Lu Hui said.

Among them, Nie Xiao, who had been in the studio for almost a year, showed embarrassment, and then replied tactfully.

"There is no concept design and original painting? There is no job such as director and storyboard?"

Lu Hui was shocked.

How was the CG made?

Nie Xiao thought about it, organized some measures, and said: "...or more precisely, there are people in charge, but only one person."

"One person? The storyboard, director, concept design, and original painting are all the same person???" Lu Hui was even more shocked when she heard what the other person said.

Made it by one person?

"Well, in fact, she also participated in the final special effects, compositing and animation. She even held the camera and asked us to play the CG content first, so that we can refer to it."

Another animator who jumped over from another job made a statement.

"Who?" Lu Hui asked anxiously.

"Who else, Lin Yao?"

Nie Xiao gave her a strange look.

"Lin Yao...Lin Yao..."

Lu Hui used to work in an animation company, and she didn't play games, let alone go to game forums. Even if Tianhu hadn't poached her this time, and the Wrath of the Lich King CG was born, she wouldn't know what Linmu Studio was company.

And behind the CG, the production staff list will not be spoiled.

So for the name.

She is not familiar with it.

"...You go and sit over there first, my assistant will guide you to familiarize yourself, I will leave for a while."

Lu Hui pondered for a moment, then suddenly stood up, left a word, and left in a hurry.

And her assistant began to guide Nie Xiao and others to familiarize themselves with the work and go around.

Just started.

Nie Xiao and the others didn't really care.

This is what they've been doing.

And because the barriers of several departments of Linmu Studio are very weak.

They also go to the game department to help a lot.

Not only CG, many games have their traces.

as a 3D artist.

They are qualified.

But watch and watch.

Suddenly, they realized a very serious problem.

Something's not right...there's no Bluestar engine here.

The production process is also very different.

After all, Lu Hui is from an animation company, and Linmu Studio is a CG team built on the Bluestar Engine, and because Lin Yao is in the lead, almost every aspect of the team has requirements.

Many people even just have to follow suit.

But here... not necessarily.

Nie Xiao was the first to realize this problem, and his face gradually became a little ugly.

Especially when the concept designer gave the design drawings and some original paintings, and then quarreled with the 3D modeler, the whole person was in a bad mood.

what is this?

This thing is called a blueprint? This is the original painting?

And the other side.

Lu Hui hurried to Li Guangsheng's office.

Because Li Guangsheng valued her department quite a lot.

So she can tell the secretary directly if she has something to do, and then meet Li Guangsheng.

"President Li."

After being notified by the secretary, Lu Hui hurried into Li Guangsheng's office.

"What's wrong?"

Li Guangsheng was pouring champagne into the glass.

He is now in a good mood and full of pride, so he specially opened a bottle of champagne to celebrate.

"I beg you to dig another person, regardless of the cost. As long as we can find her, we will be able to repeat the success of Wrath of the Lich King, I guarantee it!" Lu Hui directly issued a military order.

"Oh? Who? Can make you so anxious? Qi Jianhua?"

Li Guangsheng raised his cup and asked with some interest.

Lu Hui said loudly, "No! Her name is Lin Yao!"

"puff--"

Li Guangsheng directly sprayed out all the champagne he just drank.

Then a severe dry cough.

Lu Hui: "..."

"Why?"

It took Li Guangsheng a while to barely stop his cough, raised his head, and asked with a dark face instead of reminding him.

Lu Hui was a little surprised why the boss was in such a state of affairs, but she still explained what she had just heard from the people she poached.

Then he said sincerely: "So boss, as long as you recruit this person..."

"You mean the CG is all due to Lin Yao!? Do you know who Lin Yao is?" Li Guangsheng was slightly startled, then interrupted Lu Hui directly, almost gritting his teeth and asking.

"Yes, Lin Yao... who is she?"

"She's the boss of Linmu Studio! Boss!" Li Guangsheng half-yelled.

"ha?"

Lu Hui's voice rose directly.

Dazed in place.

After a while, she came back to her senses, and said with a look of despair: "That's a fart! I can't dig it out, I can't do it."

Li Guangsheng: "..."
