Reborn on the Internet: Starting with Games

Chapter 165 Motion Capture Studio

Motion capture, simply put, is a technology that uses external devices to record data and restore postures of the displacement of human body structures.

This technology can be traced back to 1914, and its masterpiece is Disney's "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs" launched in 1937.

In 2008, the science fiction movie "Avatar" turned out. The entire film was completed using motion capture technology. The audio-visual effects displayed amazed the audience. This also achieved the perfect integration of motion capture technology in the movie, which was a milestone. significance.

At this time, the motion capture was still a little crude, but even so, both the positioning of the sensors and the 3D model tracking system were all imported. For this studio, Chen Hao spent nearly 2 million, all of which were the most advanced ones from abroad. Equipment and systems.

The motion capture studio has a separate room of nearly 13 square meters on the 200th floor. Chen Hao also tried it out personally, wearing special clothes. Various sensors were posted on various joints and key positions. At first glance, it seemed Thought it was a humanoid hedgehog.

There is no wireless yet, and various wires on the sensor are connected to the terminal device and finally transmitted to the computer.

Chen Hao first made a classic starting move from Once Upon a Time in China, and then did some radio gymnastics that he didn’t know which time he was doing. He thought about it for a couple of times and then called it a day.

What's more troublesome is that the data cables connecting the sensors can get tangled up accidentally. This is still a simple action. If you practice the moves, you don't know what the effect will be.

Chen Hao, who changed back into normal clothes, told Xu Changlong about the problem he had just encountered and asked them to pay attention to this place in the future.

Then he leaned in front of the computer and looked at the final result displayed by the computer. His eyes were very curious. After all, he had never seen this thing in his two lives. In his previous life, he mostly got a glimpse of it from some movie clips.

I saw a relatively rough 3D villain on the computer screen. He had no clothes and no expression. He was repeating Chen Hao's actions just now. He was very precise. Except for the slight lack of details, such as his hooking and provocative movements, there was no It is captured that the overall movement feels a little stiff.

However, according to two foreign experts present, the hand movements were not captured because sensors were not added to the fingers. In addition, the stiffness can be adjusted later by the designer.

Xu Changlong said that with these devices, the various movements and martial arts moves of the characters in the game would be more natural and realistic. He later thought about it, and it was not enough to have action personnel alone, but also to have move design.

It happened that a friend of his friend knew Yuan Heping, and found out that he was currently working in Beijing after completing The Matrix 3 as an action designer, so he contacted him privately to provide guidance for two days.

Chen Hao understood immediately and said that at such an old age, Mr. Yuan Ba ​​must not be allowed to run away in vain.

Hey, this is what Xu Changlong wants.

Chen Hao watched Xu Changlong go out to make a phone call. He didn't expect that this boy could find such a relationship privately. It seemed that he really raised the martial arts world as his own son.

Thinking of Yuan Heping's classic movies, Chen Hao secretly exclaimed, "Hey, darling, this is Yuan Heping, Yuan Baye, eh,
If Jet Li is the Kung Fu Emperor, then it would be inseparable from the man behind him, Yuan Heping. As the world's number one martial artist, he can add 120% to the performance component of Jet Li's moves.

Similar combinations include Zhao Benshan and He Qingkui, both of whom are magical combinations that can only be met but not sought.

"Tai Chi Zhang Sanfeng", "Fist of Fury", "Once Upon a Time" series and other classic moves and movements were all performed by Ba Ye himself. Later he went abroad to direct the "Matrix" trilogy, "Kill Bill", " Danny the Wolf Dog".

With Ba Ye joining the team, there is no need to worry about failure.

Master Ba is here, is Brother Jie still far away?Xu Changlong was on the phone over there, and Chen Hao was also on the phone here, calling Xiong Xiaoge. After all, Chen Hao knew that investors should have a lot of connections.

I asked him if he could help me find connections and contacted Jet Li. He gave me a few words about the general situation and said that the fees were easy to negotiate and there were also benefits.

Xiong Xiaoge didn't say anything, he replied to help, and then hung up the phone.After hanging up the phone, Chen Hao thought, if there is no reply today, tomorrow he will ask Li Fang from the marketing department to contact the other brokerage company through official channels to seek cooperation.

At this time, Chen Hao felt that his shortcomings were that he lacked connections.

There is no way. He is a programmer and is not good at socializing and socializing. In the past, he pushed for any peer exchange meetings held by major media. The only public event he participated in was last year's awards ceremony. After going there, he talked to Yushang. It's like landing on the shore, and I feel terribly uncomfortable.

I met some media friends through some interviews before. Well, if it doesn't work out then, I can try Xu Wenhan from Volkswagen Software.

As a result, within a few minutes, Xiong Xiaoge's phone opened.

"Please note, this is Jet Li's agent's mobile phone number: XXXXXX. I just gave it a general outline. You can talk to them about it specifically."

"As it should be, Mr. Xiong is determined. You set a time and I'll treat you to dinner!"

"It's easy to talk about. I'm very interested in two of your previous companies. Let's talk in detail when the time comes. Hang up!"

After hanging up the phone, Chen Hao directly dialed the number he just wrote down. It would be more sincere for him to talk about this kind of thing in person.

After the call was connected, at first the other party wanted to deal with some routine matters for the sake of Xiong Xiaoge.

However, when Chen Hao said 7 million in 1000 days, he could clearly feel the change in the other party's attitude on the phone. He said that Brother Jie had just finished filming "The Cradle" abroad and was currently resting at home in Hong Kong, but he needed to do it in person. Just nodded in agreement, Jet Li was right next to him, and asked Chen Hao to wait a moment.

At this time, Xu Changlong came back from making a phone call. He saw his boss talking on the phone and gave him an OK gesture.

Chen Hao understood, now he was more confident.

After a while, a slightly hoarse voice came from the phone. Chen Hao chatted with Jet Li for a few minutes focusing on the key points. The other party readily agreed. The two parties finalized the time and preliminary intentions, and waited until then to meet and sign the contract.

After all, Jet Li spent several months working hard on Cradle of Death and was paid 1 million. But this Century Zongheng invited him to come to Beijing for 7 days and gave him 1000 million by performing some tricks. After all, idle time is idle, no one can live with money. , and I can also see Master Yuan, whom I haven’t seen for a long time.

After taking down Jet Li, the biggest star, and the rest of the Wuying-level ones, Chen Hao left it to Li Fang to handle.

All the shortcomings of the motion capture plan were made up, and Chen Hao and Xu Changlong chatted about the game engine.

Those international students will be able to return home after November and serve the company.

The headhunters are also very capable. After all, these orders are enough for them to make a year's income.

More than 20 good players were poached from Xishanju, and of course the pay for poaching was quite generous.

Combined with Heluo's own engine, Xu Changlong finally has some confidence in creating a game engine belonging to Century Interactive Entertainment by the end of the year.

It is no longer the same as before with a sad face every day and asking someone to owe him 800 million.
