Chapter 201 199. Bomi has another heavyweight game?!

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

1. One front and one side. These two things are used for students who model 3D. When modeling, the front and side images will be stuck on the xy plane and the xz plane to cross them. This way, a more accurate 3D model parameter can be obtained, and then the points can be pulled according to the ramen pull line.

Therefore, the original painting of the characters must be drawn very carefully, which determines the quality of the final 3D model.

Judging from the current technology, in order to prevent the game performance from being affected, the number of faces of general characters will not be too many, and it is impossible to exceed 10,000 faces at most.

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

The more faces the character model is, the smoother it will be and the more refined it will look.

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

This is why Xiaobang admires Boss Cao's profound skills. When painting according to the number of high faces, you can draw it to lifelike, similar to real objects, but it is impossible to achieve so many faces when making models, which will lead to a reduced face later for 3D paintings.

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

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

If Boss Cao heard it, he would definitely think that Xiaobang underestimated him. Cao Yang is not only one of the best original paintings in the world, but one of the best original paintings in the world in the next few decades. His skills have exceeded this era too many, so Cao Yang has enough skills to manage large-scale projects like "Shan Hai Jing".

2. In the original design of the character, the characteristics of the character will be described in writing, such as where Bai Ze lives, what is his habit, what is his spouse, and how to reproduce...

The more refined the setting, the better. This is equivalent to describing a person. What his own actions are determined by his personality. The personality is determined by his growth experience and growth environment. The more refined these settings, the better the feeling it will come out.

3. Related information... For example, this person, who is a lover with whom, what are the commonalities between the two people in the design, or who is an old enemy with whom...

In short, a lot of information in the original painting setting is actually planned for art to refer to, so that this character can [live], and capable art can use its own creations and then improve the settings.

The game's setting set is equivalent to textbooks and treasure books for the art of making games.

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

For example:

Diablo 2's original painting collection.

Warhammer 40k original painting collection.

Monster Hunter's original painting collection.

The original collection of Cyberpunk 2077.

...The more you see, the more you will have, the more you will have, and you will learn more.

At the beginning, due to the limit of the number of faces, Blizzard's requirements for the original character painting were-

You can make a distinction by looking at the silhouettes of the characters without any color.

What is silhouette? It is equivalent to completely blackening the character. Just looking at the outer contour, you can know who it is.

It is actually not easy to do this, it requires a high level of design ability of the original artist.

...

It is precisely because Boss Cao has an extraordinary level of original painting design and painting that when he saw his original paintings, Xiaobang couldn't put it down and directly proposed the idea of ​​buying a collection of original paintings of "Shan Hai Jing" to collect.

Ma Hao smiled, "I don't have the final say about this matter. I also want to buy a copy. Let's see when Boss Cao will release it."

...

"uh-huh?"

When Cao Yang heard Ma Hao make this request, his eyes lit up, "It's totally OK, but we have to wait for our game to be released. Maybe the original painting setting gathering of "Shan Hai Jing" will become a treasure treasured by domestic artists."

"That's inevitable." Ma Hao said embarrassedly.

He also participated in the design part of the original painting.

Although this sentence sounds a bit suspicious of Wang Po being good at speaking, Ma Hao feels that the company has such confidence. The original paintings of "Shan Hai Jing" are really amazing, especially those written by Boss Cao.

The right and wrong are judged immediately, and you can basically tell which ones are drawn by Boss Cao at a glance.

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

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

"You choose a few original paintings that can be published, and then we provide them as information to "New Era of Games" for preheating and exposure." Cao Yang said.

...

It has been more than half a year since the Shanhai Jing was established. It has to be kept in a constant topic to maintain sufficient popularity. It will only take a wave at the end of the year before the best results will be produced.

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

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

Zhang Yawen was simply flattered. They had been looking for Bomi before, and it was the first time Bomi invited them.

Moreover, Boss Cao was stingy before, and he refused to reveal any news about the Shanhai Jing project to them, nor was he allowed to take photos. This time he was so proactive, which was really a bit incredible.

"Mr. Cao, you are so proactive today, really flattering us!" Zhang Yawen said half-jokingly, "We were all here to look for it before. Last time, I couldn't even take photos of the "Shan Hai Jing"."

"Haha," Cao Yang smiled awkwardly, "The time period is different, isn't it necessary to have come and go?"

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

"Well... it's not possible for the time being."

"Uh..." Zhang Yawen's mouthful of blood stuck in his throat.

Shooting is definitely not possible, because there are still many employees with a competition agreement, which is inconvenient to take photos.

"But, you will definitely not be allowed to return empty-handed. We will publish some of the original drawings for you to publish." Cao Yang said with a smile.

“Hey?”

Hearing this sentence, Zhang Yawen's eyes lit up.

...

Both parties returned to Boss Cao's office and sat down according to their seats as before, starting today's visit.

Cao Yang handed Zhang Yawen a few original paintings printed out in color, and then said with a smile, "You can take a look at these original paintings first. We will directly provide you with a mobile hard drive, which has about 20 original painting settings."

"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 report, I found the pictures I used in it casually, and the rest of the pictures at the beginning depended on editing.

Now that there are real guns and real ammunition, players must be ecstatic, and game magazines are afraid that sales will hit new highs.

Zhang Yawen nodded with a smile, and her heart was filled with joy.

These original paintings can be saved and can be published in several issues.

...

She looked down and was stunned by the original painting given by Cao Yang.

"Oh my God, this is what we Chinese painted?"

The original painting is very detailed and is designed according to the characteristics of the Shanhai Jing, but it is different from the Shanhai Jing monsters that Zhang Yawen imagined, with some ferocious faces.

She couldn't tell me what was different in detail for a while.

It looks full of high-end feeling and has distinct characteristics. If you have any understanding of the Shanhai Jing, you will definitely be able to name them at the first glance.

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

Some of the aborted manuscripts were eliminated during the iteration process because the effect was not ideal. Cao Yang also asked Ma Hao to choose it. After release, even if it was leaked to the player, it would not have much impact.

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

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

This is called comparison to generate value.

Surprise comes from exceeding expectations.

Hollywood's usual technique is that the initial laughter will come after 2 minutes and 50 seconds. As a result, it will be directly advanced to 1 minute, directly breaking your expectations, and the audience will naturally laugh out loud.

"By the way, Mr. Cao," Zhang Yawen asked in confusion while looking through 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 true?"

"Part of it was painted by me, and I must have checked the art effects, because Bomi attaches great importance to this project."

There are more than 100 monsters and hundreds of plants, and Cao Yang will definitely not be able to draw it alone.

Only part of the original painting was painted by Cao Yang, and he just checked the others.

As the main beauty, drawing original paintings by yourself is to set a tone for the project, telling you that this is probably the style, and then check it from a macro perspective.

For art that cannot be drawn in a similar style, you will be kicked out. If you can draw the original painting style that conforms to the main beauty, you will also add details.

So although the art team of more than 200 people seems to be very strong, the rate of scrapping manuscripts is very high.

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

Of course, because it is a pipeline homework, the game progress has not been delayed because of the original painting.

This is easy to understand:
