Reborn Game Pioneer

Chapter 207: The Pokémon’s Stuntman

Tai Chi Panda’s popularity is soaring.

Gu Feng added fuel to the fire with his consent.

He directly sent out the live footage of Tai Chi Panda doing motion capture.

Everyone who watched this video said, "Holy shit."

"Holy crap! What kind of technology is this? Can games be like this now?"

"What the hell! What is this? Looking for a substitute for a game character?"

"Damn it! No wonder Daddy Bear's movements are so smooth. Let me educate those who don't know. This is Master Yang Yuntao in the video, a genuine world martial arts champion. I'm a good boy! To achieve this level in making games, just rely on this, As a man in his early thirties, why not call you Maple God?"

"Holy shit! Brothers, I suddenly thought of a terrible thing. Do you think it is possible that other Pokémon's movements are also made using this technology?"

Just when everyone was discussing it, Gu Feng released another video, which was much longer than the previous one, lasting more than ten minutes.

After watching the video, people seem to have lost their ability to express themselves, and they seem to be unable to speak other words except shit.

For some people who speculated that other Pokémon's movements were also captured through motion capture, many people initially found it ridiculous.

It seems that it is okay to use motion capture for Pokémon with arms and legs like Biting Shark, but for flying Pokémon like Tanabata Blue Bird or for Pokémon with no arms, legs and wings like Hunting Papilion, How do people perform actions?
But this video tells them what to do with facts.

Whether it is hunting swallowtail butterflies or Tanabata bluebirds, my original intention is still to use motion capture.

People who watched the first video made a subconscious problem, that is, subconsciously think that the object of motion capture must be a person.

That’s right, in order to capture the most authentic and natural movements, the protagonist of the motion capture of Papilio Butterfly Hunting is a real butterfly. According to the video introduction, the scientific name of this butterfly is Jinshang Papilio, and it is the most ornamental butterfly in China. One of the categories is a national second-level protected animal.

In order to do motion capture for this big name, after communicating with the Butterfly Sanctuary in advance, Chuxin’s staff specially brought the equipment to do a door-to-door service for him.

As for the Chinese Valentine's Day Blue Bird, its motion capture protagonist is also extraordinary. Since the Chinese Valentine's Day Blue Bird is characterized by elegance and nobility, its image itself cannot be found as a completely consistent reference in reality. Therefore, considering that the elegance and noble characteristics must be as perfect as possible It can be explained that the motion capture of Qixi Bluebird is not collected from one target.

In fact, there are two protagonists who are the source of the action of Qixi Blue Bird.

First, the swan symbolizes nobility and purity.

Secondly, the red-crowned crane is a national first-class protected animal known for its elegance and is known as the "Crane".

In addition to Tanabata Blue Bird and Hunting Papilio, several other Pokémon released in the video also have their own professional motion capture actors.

For example, the motion-capture actor of Wind Speed ​​Dog is a well-trained police dog Ronaway, and the swordsman Elledo in the original work, whose motion-capture actor is also a world champion of martial arts and swordsmanship...

Apart from other things, just the thought that the original intention put into making animation is enough to make everyone feel the intention and determination in it.

Even other animation companies were filled with admiration after watching these two videos.

Look at what people have done to make a good animation.It’s no wonder that “Pokémon” directly topped the list of serialized animations after only two weeks of release. With the animation reaching this level, it makes no sense to talk about whether it is an animation company itself.

But after watching these two videos, all animation companies and game companies have also learned something. Motion capture itself is not a difficult technology. After knowing the usage of this technology, other companies can follow suit. Directly stealing from his master.

Through these two videos, the views and downloads of the "Pokémon" animation and "Pokémon Battle" games once again experienced a wave of explosive growth.

This wave, I can only say that Gu Feng really knows how to publicize.

Having played games and watched animations for more than ten years, he understands these people's preferences very well.

Many people will be interested in interesting anecdotes and tidbits about animation production or game production like this.

Just like now, after people watch the video, they will not only satisfy their curiosity, but also suddenly understand why the movements in animations and games are so smooth and real, and the production process is like this. Although they may not understand the specific principles, just watching There is an unknown feeling.

If you watch something like this too often, it can also play a role in increasing the audience's or player's sense of identification.

This is also the reason why those TV series in the previous life liked to release some behind-the-scenes videos after updating the main series.

It is really difficult for Gu Feng to sympathize with those game production teams who complain about insufficient publicity funds every day. Do they still need money for publicity?He has a hundred ways to achieve publicity without spending a penny.

Even if there are no these two videos or a promotional video for the game, just calling Wen Meng over to shoot a VCR, chatting about a few questions about the game, and finally smiling like a scissorhands, can still make LSPs scream. The game is down.

This is what is called that you can rely on your appearance to make a living, but you have to rely on your strength.

Time passed day by day, and early May ended and started in mid-May. The sun seemed to have had enough of the few months of indifference, and gradually increased the intensity of the sunlight, stripping off people's clothes one by one. The women held up parasols one after another to block his hot and irrational gaze, preventing him from seeing their beautiful legs and arms. The men did not mind exposing their chests and backs, as if they were competing with him. You show off my body, and I It hurts your eyes.

Everything went smoothly on Lu Yu's side, and the company's recruitment progress was also satisfactory. The only bad news was that a suitable chief designer had not yet been found. After thinking about it, a candidate emerged in Gu Feng's mind.

Because names are so easy to remember, Gu Feng still remembers the other person's name even after just one phone call.

How dare you!

When Kaixin Xiaoxiaole won the championship of the National College Student Game Design Competition, the representative of the other party, Longteng, extended an olive branch to him.

On behalf of Long Teng, he extended a high-paying invitation to a college student who had not yet graduated, but was rejected. The pattern of the other party's words and deeds did not make him look like a big company.

Gu Feng vaguely remembered that the other person's voice was definitely not that of a young man in his 20s, but could be in his 30s or even 40s.

Moreover, when the other party introduced himself, he mentioned that he was the main designer responsible for mobile games in Dragon.

Being able to be the chief designer at Longteng must have good overall abilities. At this age, I think he has a lot of experience, so he is probably the candidate he wants.

Since it was appropriate, then make a call and ask. Gu Feng thought of doing it. He picked up the phone and rummaged through it for a long time before he found the one that had already answered the call. After calling back, the other party picked up after a few rings.

"Hey!" Niu Gan did not hang up immediately after picking up the unfamiliar call. This was mainly because he might receive such calls from time to time in his job.

"Hey, is this Teacher Niu?"

Hearing the other party's reply, Niu Gan only felt that the voice sounded familiar, as if he had heard it somewhere.

Fortunately, Gu Feng used the title of Teacher Niu instead of Mr. Niu Gan, otherwise Niu Gan would have mistook him for a game customer service or a real estate agent.

"It's me, who are you?"

"Haha, I'm Gu Feng, you called me last year."

Gu Feng!Niu Gan was startled.

No wonder this voice is so familiar. Not only did I have a phone call with him, but I also watched the other party's live broadcast and attended the award ceremony twice.

I vaguely remember that the last time I talked to him on the phone, the other person was just an ordinary college student who had just won the national championship. In the blink of an eye, a year later, the other person had grown to the point where even Long Teng didn't dare to underestimate him.

As the soul and founder of Chuxin, Gu Feng’s current status in the world is no longer what it used to be.

For a while, the mobile phone next to his ear became a little hot, and Niu Gan didn't know why this great god suddenly came to him.

But when asked, Gu Feng was really open-minded and kept secret. He only said that he wanted to have dinner with him in the evening, but did not tell the real reason why he was looking for him.

Faced with such an invitation, could Niu Gan refuse?Of course!But he didn't...

Until he hung up the phone, he was still guessing about the other party's real purpose in finding him.

To dig him out of his original intention?Come on, what virtues and abilities does he have? What titles and awards have he won for his games? What do people like about him?
Since it wasn't poaching him, Niu Gan couldn't figure out what the other party's purpose was, so instead of holding back for a few days and possibly not being able to sleep well, it's better to go to the banquet alone and have a look.
