Chapter 152 Playing Animation in the Virtual World

On October 10th, Wu Hao, Boss Du Feng, Tang Xin, and Song Zhe held a meeting in the virtual world to discuss restarting the comic-to-animation project that had been suspended for two months.

Liu Hanqing attached great importance to this pilot project, and recruited elite soldiers from the manga project department, and formed a capable team with Song Zhe as the core.

Wu Hao spoke first: "Hi everyone, today is the first meeting between Yaozhai Yunchuang Studio and Longwei Yunchuang Manga Working Group. Let's get to know each other first."

"This is Tang Xin, the person in charge of Yaozhai Yunchuang Studio. This is Song Zhe of Long Weiyun's Comic-Changing Working Group. The manga-changing animation work "Break the Sky" is just for the two of you." Wu Hao introduced the identities of the two parties, and Tang Xin and Song Zhe nodded to each other to show that they knew each other.

"This is Boss Du Feng, the original author of "Break the Sky", and a shareholder of Yaozhai Yunchuang Studio. He will be mainly responsible for the selection of works in the future." Wu Hao continued to introduce the identity of Du Feng's boss to Song Zhe, and both sides smiled nod.

After briefly introducing the identities of the two parties, Wu Hao immediately got to the point: "Next, let's sort out the work of manga animation. Song Zhe, you first talk about the animation production process."

Song Zhe stood up and called up a whiteboard in the virtual space, on which a work flow chart was automatically displayed.

"Animating in a virtual world can make a big difference in the process."

"The first step is the design work, including character design, scene design, prop design, and lens screen design. The system provides a small program called a design work assistant. The scene atmosphere, lens special effects, etc. are designed.”

"In the second step, we need to determine the storyboard scenes according to the script. In the past, the director would use the simple auxiliary tool of the storyboard to draw a sketch similar to a comic strip based on the text script, and express the actions described in the script. The storyboard is drawing the shots. At the same time, actions, lines, time, camera instructions, screen connections, etc. have been explained accordingly."

"Now we create animations in the virtual space, we no longer need a storyboard. The system provides a small program called the Storyboard Scene Customization Tool, which provides quick and effective assistance. The production of the entire animation scene is under the condition of visualization. Completed, customizing the actions and expressions of the virtual doll, the tone and intonation of the lines, selecting and fine-tuning the special effects of martial arts, the position of the camera, the connection processing of the scene picture, etc. "

"Now we use virtual dolls to perform in 3D virtual interactive scenes. Internet celebrities customize the behavior of a group of specific virtual dolls, and the interaction effect is not bad. Judging from customer feedback , The expressive power of these small scenes is no worse than that produced by professional directors. In the production of "Break the Sky", whether we should follow the model of Internet celebrity creation, or hire professional directors, this issue must be clarified."

"The third step is editing and post-production. Editing is relatively simple. Combine the shots one by one in order, delete useless parts appropriately, and edit the combination method at the joint of each shot; post-production includes the enhancement of sound effects. , the fine-tuning of the picture, the fine-tuning of the environment atmosphere in the later stage, etc. "

"Next, An An, the director of our working group, will show you how to complete a simple animation work."

Song Zhe switched the meeting room space to the animation creation space.

"Hi everyone, I'm An An, welcome to the animation creation space, and I'll show you how to make a simple animation." An An is still so lively and cute, she doesn't look like a reliable director at all.

"First of all, let's complete the design work." An An tapped her hand in the virtual space, and a light screen appeared in front of everyone, with four square options written on it: character design, scene design, prop design, and lens screen design.

An An first clicked on the character design, and a lot of selection boxes and data input boxes appeared on the light screen.

"The protagonist of this animation is called Abai, he is a straightforward martial idiot. I have entered his data into the system in advance. Let's take a look at the production results." An An clicked the generate button on the light screen.

A golden halo appeared from the sky and fell to the ground, and the virtual doll gradually took shape in the halo.

The protagonist, Abai, is a mischievous boy with pigtails. He is not tall, but he looks very strong.

"After the virtual character is generated, we can fine-tune the unsatisfactory parts. For example, if the braid is too exaggerated, we can give him a flat head." An An fine-tunes the protagonist of the animation. The whole process is visualized and very intuitive.

After the protagonist A Bai is settled, the next step is to design the heroine Ling Ling and the pet A Wang. The whole process is efficient and interesting.

"After completing the character design, let's try the effect of their interaction." An An called up the script, selected a scene, and pressed the play button on the screen.

The characters and the pet dog disappeared at the same time, and then appeared not far away. The protagonist Abai was hiding behind a stone, but the heroine Lingling looked around very scared.

"Abai, is that you?" Lingling asked timidly.

"." Ah Bai didn't move, obviously trying to scare Lingling.

"Wow, woof, woof." Awang ran over from a distance, circled behind the stone, and licked Abai wildly.

"Ah Bai! You die for me." Lingling called out to the Hedong lion.

"Hehe, hehe. What a coincidence, Lingling, why are you here so late?" Abai was caught and had no choice but to pretend to meet by chance.

"Go to hell, you pervert!" Lingling was so angry that she turned into the image of a Yaksha and rushed forward to beat up Ah Bai.

The whole plot is very simple, only the characters interact, and the picture is very monotonous.

"Now let's add props!" A scary ghost mask appeared on Abai's face, and a thick wooden stick appeared in Lingling's hand.

"Plus the scene!" A deserted village suddenly appeared around the character, and there was a bright moon above the head. With An An's adjustment, the light in the deserted village became darker and darker, and there was still a thin layer of mist floating in the sky, which seemed very mysterious .

"Set the position and angle of the shooting lens!" Several blurred photo pigs were placed in different positions of the scene.

"Finally, we add sound effects and play it again." An An pressed the play triangle.

This time the picture is much more vivid, and the picture will automatically focus on the characters according to the development of the plot, and the cute effect is also used. The characters are more expressive in different emotional states, and the changes in the scene's light and shadow are inserted. With the music that sets off the atmosphere, a comfortable animation clip is formed.

"Next, we can adjust the unsatisfactory details. For example, Abai's movement of avoiding chasing and hitting is too stiff. We can use the special effect of 'fucking shit'. For example, Lingling is not weak enough when she is afraid. special effects."

The character interaction can also be played at a slow speed, allowing the director to have time to adjust the unsatisfactory movements and expressions. The whole process is very intuitive and simple. It didn't take long for An An to complete the adjustment work, and a simple animation scene drama was completed.

"Manager Song, I don't think this is making animation, but 'playing' animation!" After watching the whole production process, Tang Xin was shocked. The whole process was not only efficient but also very interesting. comic works.

"Miss Tang is right. This is the effect Mr. Wu wants to achieve, visual creation, 'playing' film and television animation." Song Zhe is very proud.
