The Rebirth of the Male God Starts From Playing Games

  Chapter 201 199. Bomi still has a heavyweight game? !

  The game's original art setting set can be said to be the essence of the art design of this game. The general character setting will contain the following information:

1. A frontal photo of the character and a side photo. These two things are used for 3D modeling students. When modeling, the front and side photos will be stuck on the xy plane and the xz plane. Cross on the top, so that you can get a more accurate 3D model parameters, and then pull the points according to the ramen.

  So the original painting of the character should be drawn very finely, which determines the quality of the final 3D model.

  From the current technology point of view, in order to keep the game performance unaffected, the number of faces of a general character will not be too much, and it is impossible to exceed 10,000 at most.

  In 21 years, there were hundreds of thousands of models.

  The more faces, the smoother the character model and the more detailed it looks.

  The fewer faces, the more edges and corners, the rougher it looks.

This is why the little stick admires Cao’s profound skill. When you paint with a high number of faces, you can draw it as lifelike as a real object, but it is impossible to do so many faces when making a model. As a result, a 3D painting with reduced faces was also drawn.

   Boss Cao draws the original painting directly according to the number of faces in the game, and can draw the character so well in this case, which is very technical.

  So the little stick said that his painting skills are definitely one of the best in the world.

If Boss Cao heard about him, he would definitely think that Little Stick underestimated him. Cao Yang is not only one of the best original paintings in the world, but also one of the best original paintings in the world in the next few decades. His technique has exceeded this time too much, so Only Cao Yang has enough skill to control a large-scale project like "Shan Hai Jing".

  2. In the original character design, the character’s characteristics will be described in words, such as where Bai Ze lives, what his habits are, what is his spouse, and how to reproduce...

The finer this setting is, the better. This is equivalent to describing a person. How his own actions are determined by his personality, and his personality is determined by his growth experience and growth environment. The finer these settings are , Then the better it feels out.

  3. Relevant information... For example, this person, who he is in a romantic relationship with, what are the similarities in the design of the two people, or who is the enemy with whom...

  In short, a lot of the information in the original painting setting is actually planned for reference by the art, so that this character will [live], and the capable art can give full play to his creation and then perfect the setting.

  Game settings, for game art, it is equivalent to textbooks and treasures.

  In his previous life, Cao Yang bought many sets of original paintings in order to make his original paintings better.

  For example:

  The original art collection of Diablo 2.

  The original art collection of Warhammer 40k.

  The original art collection of Monster Hunter.

  The original collection of Cyberpunk 2077.

  ...The more you see, the more natural you will feel and the more you can learn.

  At the very beginning, because of the limited number of faces, Blizzard’s requirements for the original character painting were:

  You don’t need to add any color, just look at the silhouette of the figure to make a distinction.

  What is a silhouette? It is equivalent to painting the character completely black. You can know who it is just by looking at an outline.

  It’s actually not easy to do this. It requires a lot of design ability of the original artist.

  ……

  It is precisely because Boss Cao has an extraordinary level of original painting design and drawing, so when he saw his original paintings at first sight, the small stick fell in love with him, and directly proposed the idea of ​​buying a collection of original paintings of "Shan Hai Jing" for collection.

  Ma Hao smiled, “I don’t count this matter. I also want to buy a copy. Let’s see when Boss Cao will release it.”

  ……

"uh-huh?"

When he heard Ma Hao’s request, Cao Yang’s eyes lit up, “It’s okay, but we have to wait for our game to go on sale. Maybe the original painting setting assembly of "Shan Hai Jing" will become a treasure cherished by domestic artists. ."

   "That is inevitable." Ma Hao said embarrassedly.

  He also participated in the design of the original painting.

  Although this is a bit of a suspicion of being a good-for-nothing, Ma Hao feels that the company has such confidence. The original paintings of "Shan Hai Jing" are really amazing, especially those written by Mr. Cao himself.

   Make judgments based on superiority. Basically, a knowledgeable person can tell at a glance which ones were drawn by Boss Cao.

   "But you did remind me." Cao Yang smiled, "It's time to find a wave of media."

   "Huh? What?" Ma Hao didn't understand.

   "You choose a few original paintings that can be made public, and then we will provide them as information to "New Era of Games" for pre-heating exposure." Cao Yang said.

  ……

  It has been more than half a year since the project was established. It is necessary to keep the topic constant in order to maintain enough heat. When it is released at the end of the year, the best effect will be produced at that time.

  The memory of the masses is limited, you have to remind them often.

  So early the next morning, Cao Yang made an appointment with someone from The New Era of Games.

  Zhang Yawen was simply flattered. They were always looking for Bomi before, but it was the first time Bomi invited them.

  Besides, Boss Cao was so stingy (lìnsè) before, and he refused to disclose any news about the Shanhaijing project to them, and was not allowed to take pictures. This time he was so proactive, which is really incredible.

   "Mr. Cao, you are so active today, and we are really flattered!" Zhang Yawen said half-jokingly, "Before that, we took the initiative to look for it. Last time, "Shan Hai Jing" wanted to take pictures."

   "Haha," Cao Yang smiled awkwardly, "Isn't the time period different, shouldn't it come and go?"

   "So this time we can go to the "Shan Hai Jing" project team to shoot?" Zhang Yawen asked.

   "Well... it's not working right now."

   "Uh..." Zhang Yawen stuck a mouthful of old blood in his throat.

  Filming is definitely not possible, because there are still many employees with competition agreements on them, so it is not convenient to take pictures.

   "However, we will definitely not let you go home empty-handed. We will set a part of the original paintings of the game for you to publish." Cao Yang said with a smile.

"Eh?"

  Hearing these words, Zhang Yawen's eyes lit up.

  ……

  The two parties returned to Boss Cao’s office, sat down in the same seat as before, and started today's interview.

Cao Yang handed a few color-printed original paintings to Zhang Yawen, and then said with a smile, "Look at these original paintings first. We will provide you with a mobile hard drive directly at that time, and there are about 20 original painting settings in it. ."

   "Wow," Zhang Yawen's eyes lit up.

  More than 20 original painting settings, this is exclusive information, first-hand information.

  After the last interview with Zhang Yawen, in order to make a report, the pictures used in it were still randomly found, and the rest of the opening picture was edited.

  Now that there are real guns and live ammunition, the players must be ecstatic, and the game magazines are afraid that the sales volume will reach a new high.

  Zhang Yawen smiled and nodded, happy in his heart.

  These original paintings can be published without saving, and they can be published several times.

  ……

  She lowered her head and glanced, and was shocked by the original painting given by Cao Yang.

   "Gosh, this was drawn by our countrymen?"

  The original paintings are very detailed, and they are all designed according to the characteristics of the Shanhaijing, but they are not the same as the monsters of the Shanhaijing with teeth and claws that Zhang Yawen imagined.

  As for the specific differences, she couldn't tell for a while.

   looks full of high-level sense, and the characteristics are also very distinct. If you know something about the classics of mountains and seas, you will surely be able to name them at first sight.

  Also, the original paintings Cao Yang gave her not only contain monsters, but also design drawings of plants and some scenes.

  Some of the scrapped drafts were eliminated during the iteration process due to unsatisfactory effects. Cao Yang also let Ma Hao be selected in it, so that after it is released, even if it is leaked to the player, it will not cause too much impact.

   And give them a lower version at the beginning, and then give them a more advanced version, which exceeds the player's expectations, and they will definitely be ecstatic.

  Cao Yang is very tight about this player's psychology.

  This is called comparison produces value.

  Surprise comes from exceeding expectations.

  Hollywood’s usual tactics. At the beginning, the laugh point will come after 2 minutes and 50 seconds. The result will be directly advanced to 1 minute, directly breaking your expectations, and the audience will naturally laugh.

"By the way, President Cao," Zhang Yawen asked questioningly while looking at the original painting, "I heard that you are responsible for the main beauty of the "Shan Hai Jing" this time, and you are also responsible for drawing the original painting. is this real?"

  "Part of it is my painting, and the art effect must be checked by me, because Bomi takes this project very seriously."

  There are more than 100 kinds of monsters and hundreds of kinds of plants. Cao Yang cannot paint by himself.

  Only some of the original paintings were painted by Cao Yang, and he only checked the others.

  As the main beauty, drawing the original painting by yourself is to set the tone for the project, tell you about the style, and then check it from a macro perspective.

  For art that cannot be drawn in a similar style, we will kick it out, and we will deduct details on the basis of the original painting style set by the main beauty.

  So although it seems that the art team of more than 200 people is very strong, the rejection rate is very high.

  It took almost half a year to finish most of the original paintings.

  Of course, because it is an assembly line operation, there is no delay in the game progress due to the original painting.

  This is easy to understand:

  For example, at the beginning, Cao Yang could draw an original painting of Bai Ze in a week, and then hand it over to the 3D department for production. This cycle is about 1 to 2 months.

  In these 1 to 2 months, Cao Yang was able to produce one original painting every week, so that is 4 to 8, and every time he produces the original painting, he can send it to the 3D department for production.

  Cao Yang is not the only one to paint at the same time. Maybe the number of original paintings delivered every month is about 10 to 20, depending on the review progress of Cao’s boss that month.

  As everyone's technology improves and runs better, the more efficient the output will be.

  ……

  The progress of the project is still OK. Although there are many scrapped manuscripts and abandoned models, the results are generally gratifying. According to the current situation, it will probably be finished by the end of the year.

  Maybe it can save the test team a month or two.

  In fact, Cao Yang is ready. If the time is really too late, he can castrate a part and only open the first half. The project is also carried out in order, so there should be no major problems.

  ……

In this interview, Zhang Yawen really gained a lot. Many domestic game magazines wanted to do Bomi’s "Shan Hai Jing" project but couldn’t get the information. As a result, Zhang Yawen easily got it, and there is also an electronic version. More than 20 original paintings.

  Already quite gratifying results.

   Boss Cao really takes care of them.

  After about half an hour's visit, it almost came to an end.

  Zhang Yawen was about to leave, and ended up by asking a few symbolic questions by the way.

  "By the way, President Cao, now that Bomi’s "Glory of the King: Prequel" is released in August, does it mean that Bomi has only one project under development, "Shan Hai Jing"?

  Are there other game releases or development plans in the future? "

"Um... R&D must be done. We are already preparing to open new projects. It's just that the "Shan Hai Jing" side is tight, so most of the human resources are provided here. As for the newly released projects. Well……"

  Originally, Cao Yang was going to say that the latest one might be "Shan Hai Jing", which is expected to be released at the end of the year.

  But there was a sudden flash of light in his brain, thinking of a new email that he had just received yesterday.

  Cao Yang laughed dumbly and raised his head to look at Zhang Yawen, “We may release a blockbuster game globally in October or November.”

"Eh?!"

  Zhang Yawen came to just ask casually. When he was about to end the interview, he did not expect that Boss Cao suddenly released a blockbuster, and the whole person was directly stunned.

its not right!

  Bomi’s two kings are already on sale, and the parallel version of Xingyue Company has also been thrown out. Bomi has no projects anymore.

  Is it possible that my information is wrong?

  And this game is still on sale globally, what kind of game is this? !

   "Really?" Zhang Yawen looked at Cao Yang in surprise, "Is it convenient for Mr. Cao to reveal it? What kind of game is it, and in which countries are it mainly released?"

   Cao Yang smiled slyly, “Well, I can’t disclose it to you for the time being, you will know it after a while.”

  Gan!

   Boss Cao will hang his appetite.

  Zhang Yawen frowned deeply, his stomach churned, and the whole person felt bad.

  The same was true for the last time "Shan Hai Jing", Zhang Yawen was aroused by the curiosity of the boss Cao, his heart has been itchy until now, and I did not sleep well when I went back that night.

  It’s the same now, catch your curiosity without telling you what it is.

   Damn it! Damn it!

  However, Zhang Yawen also knows the temper of this man, Cao Yang is unwilling to say that she must not be able to receive any wind.

  So Zhang Yawen could only end the interview as soon as possible with regret, driven by infinite curiosity.

  ……

  Zhang Yawen took the photographer into the elevator, closed the door, and was furious.

   "I'm so angry, Boss Cao is half talking, this style is really too bad."

  The photographer next to her silently glanced at her.

  It’s not the first day you met him, don’t you know the man’s urinary sex?

  Zhang Yawen hugged his hands, puffed up, so angry that he didn't want to talk.

  A few seconds later, she raised her head and asked, "Do you know what the game he said is about to be released globally?"

  The photographer’s eldest brother was taken aback, “I’m just carrying a camera, you ask me?”

  ……

  In fact, Cao Yang did not lie.

  The outside world thinks that Bomi’s bullets have been exhausted, and the only thing left is that when "Shan Hai Jing" has not yet been released, Bomi does have a blockbuster game that has not yet been released——

   "Warcraft 3: The Frozen Throne"

  This game was originally developed by Blizzard, but it has not yet been released.

  Before the release, Bomi had bought the copyright of the entire World of Warcraft through Vivendi, and this was naturally included in the signed agreement——

   Blizzard’s "Warcraft 3: The Frozen Throne" will be handed over to Bomi.

  Blizzard will provide all the source code and all the materials of the previously developed Warcraft series games, and if Bomi needs it, it will send programmers to explain and solve source code related issues.

  The process was completed in June, and it has been delayed until Blizzard delivers the relevant games.

  Bomi has not formed a team for "Warcraft 3: The Frozen Throne" for the time being.

  The main reason is that Cao Yang’s recent experience has been put on the "Shan Hai Jing" project, almost forgot that there is such a thing.

  After the delivery was completed yesterday, Liu Guangran sent an email, and Cao Yang remembered it.

  Fuck!

You should know that "Warcraft 3: The Frozen Throne" can be said to be the pinnacle of the RTS game. In the previous life, this game has brought a wave of Warcraft fever around the world, and many professions have been born from the Frozen Throne. Players and e-sports gods.

  For example, sky, moon, 3 eggs...

  These have been in the dust for a long time, it seems that there are only characters in Cao Yang's memory, and they have indeed dominated the coquettish for a while.

  And the competition for the Frozen Throne is in full swing...

  ……

   Thinking of this, after Zhang Yawen left, Cao Yang quickly called Liu Guangran into the office.

   "I read the email you sent me yesterday," Cao Yang asked with a smile, "How complete is the Frozen Throne now?"

  Liu Guangran thought for a while and replied, “Now the Frozen Throne is still in English. We met with Blizzard’s staff last week. The source code should be pretty good and we can take over completely.”

  Cao Yang frowned, "I'm not asking about technology transfer, I'm asking about whether this game can be played."

   "Hey?" Liu Guangran was taken aback for a moment, "I think Blizzard's completion rate is quite high. The English version of this game should almost meet the release standard, right?

  But if you want to Sinicize, it is estimated that it will take one or two months. "

"very good."

  Cao Yang laughed.

   "This is my answer."

  Cao Yang has forgotten the time, it is only October now, so it will probably be around December.

  ……

  There is no update today.

  Thank you all.

See you tomorrow
