Chapter 645 Mechs Are Prettier Than Characters? (seeking subscription)

The second season of Natu has 24 episodes.

Originally there were only 12 episodes, the same number as the first season.But the TV station said that 12 episodes are too few to show, and hope to increase it a little bit.

This is easy to understand.

After all, the second season of "Things About That Rabbit That Year" is an animation broadcast on the TV platform. If there are only 12 episodes, it may be gone in less than a week.

Therefore.

After repeated research by the production team, it was finally decided to extend the script of the second season of the animation and expand the feature film from 12 episodes to 24 episodes.

This is actually a good thing.

Because after the previous episode was split into two episodes, first of all, the duration is more abundant, and the story can be told more completely.

Are there any shortcomings...

If there are any shortcomings, it is probably that this season's "Things About That Rabbit That Year" is not so funny.

The lines have reduced the frequency of many "Internet catchphrases", and there is no special character "Na Snake" in the plot.

What to say?

This season of Natu animation produced by Guo Hongwei, pays more attention to how to tell the story well. All the lines, characters and backgrounds are for the plot.

Everything that has nothing to do with the animation plot was deleted from the main film.

"Tell a story, tell a good story."

Guo Hongwei explained: "I don't deny that the use of some Internet buzzwords and popular stalks can make animation more funny and interesting."

“But it ruins the atmosphere too much!”

The sense of atmosphere and sense of substitution are very important.Blindly piling up rotten memes on the Internet, the final effect can only be disgusted like a Spring Festival Gala sketch.

He was right.

Gu Miao agreed with Guo Hongwei's theory, and expressed support for reducing the implantation of various Internet buzzwords in the second season of "Things About That Rabbit That Year".

Of course, support belongs to support.

After all, that rabbit is an animation born out of the "military fans" group. Some insiders who can make military fans smile knowingly can still be played.

Don't forget your roots!
You can't abandon the military fans who originally supported this animation because the rabbit animation became popular and its influence broke the circle, right?

That would be too white-eyed...

After a comprehensive inspection of the production team, Gu Miao was very satisfied with the results of his apprentice Guo Hongwei's work, and encouraged everyone to guard against arrogance and impetuosity, and calm down to polish the work seriously.

Although The Rabbit is an animation that does not make money, almost all the proceeds from Wanbao have been donated.

But...

For Wanbao Animation, and even the entire Wanbao Group, the animation "Things That Rabbit That Year" is a "significant" work.

This meaning has nothing to do with money, but more of a sense of spiritual satisfaction and achievement, as well as praise and praise from people from all walks of life.

To put it bluntly, this is face!
Making such an animation may not necessarily make Wanbao a lot of money, but it will definitely improve Wanbao's evaluation in the eyes of ordinary audiences.

So Gu Miao attaches great importance to it.

……

The production progress of the second season of the animation "Those Things That Rabbit That Year" was pretty good, but the situation in Dimension Studio on the other side was not good.

The "Super Beast Armed" project encountered a serious "rollover" incident before it even started sailing.

The 3D modeling team responsible for the design of super beast warriors and super beast armed forms received sharp comments from director Huang Kun when they submitted the first version of 3D modeling at the production meeting.

"Your robot and mech armor are so handsome and cool, why is your character model so rough and ugly?"

Armored mechs look better than characters?
After Huang Kun pointed out the problem, the entire Dimension Studio fell into contemplation, and no one spoke to refute for nearly 10 minutes.

Hard-mouthed?

There's no way to be stubborn!
After all, the modeling is here, as long as the eyes are not blind, it can be seen that the character model is indeed too rough compared to the mechanical mech part.

This is a long-standing problem of Dimension Studios. From the beginning of "Pigman" to the present, there has been no progress.

Why hasn't anyone mentioned it before?
Because of the previous 3D animations, there were very few human protagonists.Characters like Pigman and the Jelly Three Musketeers are not human either!

Pushing back, the characters in 3D animations such as "The Devil Soldiers on Maoer Mountain" are "comedy" dolls with big heads and short stature, and there is no effect.

As a result, something bad happened to "Super Beast Armed Forces"!

The characters armed with super beasts are all humanoid creatures with correct body proportions, not jelly people, nor pig-headed people...

under this premise.

The drawbacks of Dimension Studio's lack of experience and technical accumulation in character models were immediately exposed.

It’s okay to say that there is no comparison. If there is no modeling reference, it’s okay for the character model to be rough. Anyway, I don’t feel deeply.

But everything is afraid of comparison...

In the first version of 3D modeling provided by the modeling team, Huang Kun can intuitively feel that the modeling of mechanical mechs such as the Magic Lin Armed Forces, Magic Lin Beast, and Magic Lin God is much more refined and beautiful than character modeling .

"This won't work, take it back and modify it."

As the chief director of the project team, Huang Kun has to be responsible for the quality of the work.

He is very satisfied with the mechanical armor part. Whether it is a single super beast form or a super beast god combined form, they are all so handsome that they have no friends.

But the character models of Huo Linfei, Tian Yu, Long Jian, etc., he feels that they are not suitable for the super beast armed form, which is a bit behind...

What's this?
Obviously the armor modeling is so cool and handsome, why is the character model so stretched?
Simply shameful!
It is also a domestic 3D animation, and Huang Kun has never seen rougher character modeling than this.Dimension Studio's performance disappointed him too much.

"It's like this with no experience..."

Gu Miao, who came here after hearing the news, explained with a smile: "I don't think it's shameful to have shortcomings, as long as you are willing to make progress and make up for your shortcomings slowly."

"Don't be too angry, give them more time, I believe they will hand in an answer that satisfies you!"

"I know, but I'm in a hurry!"

Huang Kun said with a bitter face: "All the preparations have been done, but I got stuck on character modeling. I have never been so speechless in my life."

That was really speechless.

To be honest, when Gu Miao learned about this matter, she behaved similarly to Huang Kun.

Dimension studio!

The ace studio of Wanbao Animation, one of the giants in the field of domestic 3D animation, has such obvious shortcomings, even the modeling of "humanoid creatures"?

He didn't believe it at first.

He even wondered if Huang Kun's vision was too high?Obviously modeling is okay, but it must be said that it is too rough to use?
But after he saw the 3D modeling of Huo Linfei, Long Jian and other characters in the first version, he was also silent.

This thing is really fun...

It’s not that it’s bad or unusable, it’s just that these character models are too low-grade compared to the handsome and cool mecha armor in the animation.

For example.

Assuming that the 3D modeling of the Super Beast Armor belongs to "extreme color", then the 3D character modeling of the Super Beast Warriors belongs to "simple lines", which is completely different from the same animation.
