The Rebirth of the Male God Starts From Playing Games

  Chapter 245 243. This effect is too great, right?

  Bomi’s X2 game engine promotional video, once launched, immediately attracted the attention of developers from various domestic game companies.

  Xishanju here, the master of Jianwang 3, Mei Rao Rin, and his colleagues have long been together to watch the new promotional video of Bomi X2:

  In the screen, a large maple forest appeared.

  Some of the leaves of the maple forest are still green, and most of them have become fiery red, or orange, which looks mottled in color, but it makes you feel like a large fire is burning.

  Blue sky and white clouds.

  When the sun sweeps through, the light penetrates through the gaps in the leaves, leaving a faint color on the ground.

  "This light and color are a bit powerful," said an art classmate next to him.

   "But it's not particularly powerful, the lighting looks like the engine effect, but the color scheme of these maple trees and maple leaves is still good art."

   "Yes." Everyone exclaimed.

  Bomi not only has the best engine developers, they also have the best art team.

  This Nima, even without an engine, the picture composition and color matching are really amazing.

In art, color matching is actually the most difficult. This thing is the same as orchestration is the most difficult in music creation. You have to grasp the effect when the colors are mixed together, so that the player can feel the reality and at the same time. It is very difficult to feel the beauty without causing the whole picture to be too cluttered, giving people a sense of dirty and disorder.

  Obviously, the blue sky and white clouds surrounded by maple trees in the picture now reflects this. The picture quality is quite high, and at the same time it allows you to see the combination of the freehand oriental painting and the real environment.

  This feeling is really wonderful. You know it is false, but it is so false that people are willing to believe it is true.

  Moreover, you can see the traces of Chinese ink painting style at a glance. The freehand feeling of the maple forest and the fluttering maple leaves is not easy for foreigners to grasp the essence.

  However, everyone’s exclamation is not over yet.

  A fallen leaf slowly fell down.

  Maple leaves fell on everyone's faces, and then the entire sky, including the previous maple forest, swayed gently.

   "Fuck!"

  A wave of ripples swayed, and the whole camera was pulled up along with it.

  The sky hangs upside down, and the whole picture is reversed.

  At this time, everyone discovered that the realistic effect that they had seen before turned out to be the reflection of a quiet pond.

  Everyone was taken aback.

   "The effect of this water is too impressive, right?!"

   "Yeah...who can think of it? This Nima...X2 and X1 are completely different things. I feel like jumping directly from the primitive era to the industrialized era."

  Yes, not long ago, the water made by the X1 engine was somewhat [greasy], and it seemed that the reflection and mirroring effects and the fluctuation of the water material were very ordinary.

  In other words, before X2, the industry felt that it was already the best water material.

  Although it looks a little greasy, it is just a thin layer of dough, but the water can not only fluctuate the texture of water, but also produce a certain light and shadow effect.

   However, compared with X2, the water effect of X1 is simply horrible.

  In game art, there are a few things that are more difficult to do and costly.

The first is light, because the role of light in the game is quite huge. Light brings you not only the change in brightness, but also the change in the color of the material. So Monet spent most of his life in the game. Painting the grain piles in the field is actually to study the effect of light through the changes of the grain piles.

  Then judging whether an engine is good or bad depends on its treatment of light.

  Light will be divided into real-time light and static light.

Static light is easier to handle. Basically, you don’t need to do too much calculation with the engine. The artist himself can draw out the light corresponding to the static object based on the usual experience accumulation, because the light source does not move and there is no external influence. The light can be made static, that is, fixed, or called dead light.

With dynamic light, in a natural environment, a beam of light hits an object will produce many effects, such as diffuse reflection and specular reflection, and there is also a refraction effect on objects with transmission effects such as glass. You can take a few at home. Observing things, when the objects are closer, there will be diffusely reflected light hitting other objects, which affects each other, and this kind of reflection can theoretically be carried out countless times.

  This thing is quite complicated.

For example, at night, a flashlight suddenly lights up, then all visible objects that can be seen on the path that the flashlight illuminates will be affected by the light and change. The most direct thing is that the shadow will follow the angle of the light. The difference, and produce different pulls and changes.

The second is water. The transparency of water itself is difficult to deal with. At the same time, water also has a mirror effect, which means that water can reflect the things it reflects, and these things will change due to the change of the shape of the water. .

  So the second most difficult point of water is its instability, or variability.

  It’s really hard to do well.

  So when everyone saw the demonstration effect of the Bomi X2 engine on water, they were amazed.

   "This is too strong, right? How did they do it?"

   "A good noodle, this water, I don't know how to describe it."

"The wave effect of this water, how good is the effect of reflecting the surrounding maple forest... I am too envious of Bomi’s art team, with such strong technical support, no wonder Bomi is now the leader in the game industry. Boss."

   "The X2 engine can now be said to be the best in the world, right?"

  "Does this need to be said? It was already in the X1 period, okay?"

"However, I now think that Boss Cao is willing to open source the X2 engine. It is really great. After this thing comes out, I must study it carefully. With X2, the quality of our company's games is expected to improve a lot. "

   "Well, if you want to know what other people do, don't you know if you look at the code? I don't think it is easy." Lord Mei Rao Rin said.

In the art team, there is a profession called TA, TechnicalArt, also known as technical art. It is a two-way compound talent with both code and art skills. The role of TA is to study the latest and most cutting-edge engine technology for art. The students solve technical problems, but also have the task of developing engines or modifying engines.

The birth of this kind of profession was mainly used to make up for the embarrassment of programmers who didn’t understand art or art. If both parties didn’t understand each other’s needs, many things would be difficult to do. So the profession of TA was born. It is equivalent to a bridge, which plays a key role in the good communication between program and art.

  So many large companies are equipped with TA positions.

  Cao Yang was equivalent to a TA before, or the position of the top TA in China.

He is a computer graduate of National Taiwan University, and his ability to write code is not very good, but not bad. In the field of fine arts, Cao Yang's ability is second to none. His painting skills, imagination, and creative design capabilities are all first-class in the country. Now he is reborn. , It's even more perverted.

  X2 engine can do so well, in addition to Deng Peiqiang team praised, Cao Yang really contributed.

  It’s a pity that the outside world knows too little about his business capabilities, otherwise Boss Cao’s perverted and comprehensive skills don’t know how many people will be shocked.

  ……

  In the screen, as the camera is turned upside down, on the ground, a foot stepped on the yellow and green piled leaves, making a rustling sound.

  A girl appeared on the screen.

  She is wearing a shabby dress, and the traces of needlework on the cuffs are clearly visible.

  A pair of slender thighs are exposed at the bottom of the clothes.

  A long streamer was tied on the girl’s back waist.

  She wears a mask on her face, and the bangs on her forehead sway in the wind.

   "This character model feels so-so, but the material of the clothes is quite good. This kind of old and dirty feeling is very textured." An artist sighed.

  The number of faces of the model is not too much, so the fineness is relatively limited.

  In order to reduce the consumption of hair, girls’ hair is tied into a tall ponytail.

  The pony tail is very long, hanging down to the waist.

  Hair, if you want to make it fine, it can be said to be unlimited, but the cost is huge.

  If you want to make that kind of elegant hair feel, you can split the score into n multiple sides, and the consumption will be extremely high. In 2005, ordinary machines couldn't hang up at all.

When Guo Xiaosi was doing "Legacy", Fan Ye's hair was fatal, thick, long and much longer. They wanted to make a silky feeling, they had to have at least 4,000 or 5,000 hairs to make it. .

  Each hair is a polyhedron, and it is not just a simple shape like a cube, but a complex structure of n polyhedrons together.

  Just loading is very difficult, not to mention 4 to 5 thousand such hairs.

  So later, in order to reduce the cost, Guo Xiaosi had to make Fan Ye’s hair curled up and made a model, so that the number of faces was controlled.

  Now in the promotional video of the X2 engine, the image of the girl is similar to this. Except for the bangs on the forehead, the hair is **** and tied into a ponytail with a ribbon.

  Xishanju’s art team is also old art, so I naturally know the reason for this.

  However, the design of this model is very strong, and the advantages in details are outstanding, so you will not think that even if she tied a pony tail, it will reduce the quality of the game.

  At this moment, the dark clouds in the sky gathered, and the light and shadow on the girl's face changed.

"Wow!"

  The artists let out a surprise.

  This is something they didn't expect.

  Just now, everyone was still whispering in their hearts about the dynamic light effect of the X2 engine.

  Now I will show you it lightly.

  The girl's half of her body is shrouded in shadows. As the light changes, the effect on her face also changes, and the shadow behind and the effect of the fallen leaves on the ground also change.

  Although it is not real enough, compared to X1, X2 is a qualitative leap.

   "This dynamic light effect is a bit ridiculous!"

  It’s just that the sharp-eyed art noticed that the reflection of the water under the heroine is not so realistic.

  Probably because the superposition of the water material and the light effect is more difficult to deal with, and there is no special improvement in the algorithm. This year, NVIDIA has not developed a newer graphics card, and its support for dynamic light is relatively limited, and it is far from reaching the level of [Light Chasing] 20 years later.

  Now Bomi’s X2 engine only uses dynamic lighting rendering, which is far from reaching the level of ray tracing. In other words, the light effect that is now presented is the material and light changes caused by the illumination parameters of the light. If it is a real ray tracing, then more superposition effects will be produced, and the computational cost of that is very huge.

  However, the X2 engine can do this level and it is already quite powerful.

  This dynamic light effect is enough to crush all stand-alone games on the market.

  And everyone’s sigh did not end there.

   At this moment, a gust of wind blew and gently lifted the girl’s forehead hair.

  On her forehead, there was a long and narrow scar.

  The corners of the girl's mouth rose slightly, and she laughed, then pulled out the double knives from her back and ran forward against the wind.

  She swept across the ground quickly, and the laces on the pony tail and back waist swayed.

  The maple forest around it has a blur effect.

   "Fuck! This sense of speed, and the surrounding motion blur effect is a bit powerful." Xishanju's art exclaimed.

  Motion blur is definitely the most cost-effective feature in the game.

The difficulty of realization of this thing is actually not as difficult as water and dynamic light. Dynamic blur is equivalent to attaching a filter and a transparent sheet in front of the camera. This sheet will cause noise and divergence of surrounding objects along the center. This produces a dynamic blur effect.

  Dynamic blur is actually done by simulating the human eye movement mechanism.

  When people are moving at a high speed, in fact, your eyes can only focus on objects within a certain range. The more they deviate from the center, the more they will diverge.

  This principle is still well understood.

  So only need to do certain research and improvement on the algorithm to achieve a very good dynamic blur effect.

  But because it has a very cool effect after it comes out, it makes people have a super visual impact and a sense of speed, so it is very cost-effective. Generally, if the computer can drive it, it will basically not turn off this effect.

  ……

  The girl ran into the wind and passed through the maple forest, gradually opening up the field of vision in front of her.

  A white cloud appeared in everyone's eyes.

  In the distance is a deep canyon, and farther away is the rolling mountains.

  The sun showed a small half face in the sky, golden light.

  Then, the girl's speed did not decay in any way, she stepped on the air and jumped high from the cliff.

  The scenery of the soles of the feet disappeared in a flash.

  The girl opened her arms and fell from the air like a big bird.

  The motion blur effect is once again produced below.

  An artist involuntarily took a small chest and took a step back.

   "Fuck, this falling feeling is too strong, right?"

   "Yes, because they did a good job."

  The female assassin jumped down from the air and landed steadily on the ground, with the hair on the back of her head swinging.

The eyelids of Mei Rao Rin, the lord of the West Mountain, suddenly twitched.

  It is also very strange to say that everything is natural, but there is a strange feeling in his heart.

  It seems that this engine has been showing us some other powerful technologies, but it seems that it is too natural that he has not captured what it is.

  This feeling is really uncomfortable.

  It's like someone put the answer to your face, but you never see it.

  ……

  In the woods, two figures appeared.

  A tall centurion in front of him just pierced a soldier's body with a spear.

  His face is bloody, his whole face is hideous.

  I don’t know if it was because of a battle injury or some mysterious force that caused half of his face to be completely rotten, and his teeth were also exposed.

  Seeing the girl, the centurion turned his body around, stepped on the corpse of the killed soldier with his feet, and pulled out his spear forcefully.

  The Centurion smiled, seeming to be dismissive of the thin girl in front of him, his eyes dazzled, and he rushed over with his spear.

  The heroine held a sword in both hands and greeted her without hesitation.

when!

when! when! when! when!

  The two sides fought fiercely, gold and stone cried.

  ……

  This fight is very exciting.

  Everyone saw their scalp numb.

   "Fucking, this X2 engine really has a cost, this set of action design, it is estimated that a lot of Xiangjiang's martial arts have been invited? It looks really smooth."

   "Well, I think so too. The action is really beautiful. You look at a set of moves, and you play really beautifully."

   At this moment, Rao Lin's eyes lit up, and he observed something unusual.

  "Wait a minute. Lao Li, you turn the screen back. I want to take a closer look at the fight just now."

"OK."

  Lao Li manipulated the mouse and played it again.

  Looking at it several times in a row, the corners of Rao Rin’s mouth curled upward.

   "Fuck! Bomi is amazing! Too amazing! This real-time calculation is simply too powerful, right?"

   "Huh? What do you mean?!"

  Everyone looked back at Rao Rin in surprise.

  Zhumei smiled, bent down, and pointed to the ponytail behind the female assassin's head, "Look carefully at this ponytail, along with the lace below, and the hem of the dress..."

  Following Rao Rin's guidance, everyone stared at the screen earnestly.

  After a while, everyone opened their mouths in surprise.

   "Fuck! This is too great, right? What kind of technique is this?"

  They found that with the movement of the heroine, the ponytail and lace behind her head will perform a certain range of movement, and this movement effect is calculated based on the real physical effect.

For example, when she moves quickly to the left, due to inertia, her hair and ties will first pause in the air for a moment. After the character's body moves, they will be taken to move, so there will be a hysteresis effect and appear at the same time. The curve movement changes.

  And this change is not made by the art in advance, but is calculated based on the magnitude of the movement, that is, the impact of the generated force.

  Before the birth of the X2 engine, the effects that appeared were basically done by art. For example, if you cut someone with a knife, no matter which direction you cut from, the person’s blood spurts out from directly behind.

  But now it’s different. The blood surge effect that the heroine cuts with the sword is based on the direction of her force.

  This is not something done by art, but the engine performs calculations.

"What I said, I have always felt that something is wrong just now. In fact, Bomi has already hinted that it is very obvious. He also specially added such a long tie to you to show how amazing your physical calculus is. Why are we? Didn't you notice?"

   "Fuck! Great! Bomi's X2 engine is too abnormal, right?"

  ……

   Just then, with the final blow of the heroine and the other party.

  The knife exploded.

  A big LOGO appeared in the center of the screen:

  【X2】

  ……
