255. Who is fine to cut the girl and the gun to play with? (Add to update the leak for building specialized in building)

"Oh...my god..."

When he heard about the demand for new projects, Deng Peiqiang, the boss of the engine department, was completely overwhelmed.

"What the hell? You want the gun to turn into a girl? You want the girl to turn into a gun?"

Deng Peiqiang said he could not understand.

Isn't this adding new difficulty to the engine department?

Moreover, according to Boss Cao's needs, this game may have to be made with a new rendering method.

In fact, not only Deng Peiqiang could not understand, but even Huang Ziming, the main beauty who took over as the "Gun Girl", could not understand.

He felt his head was getting big.

It turns out that Bomi's master, Mimaho, has been promoted to art director.

Now Huang Ziming is a newcomer trained internally, but he has been here for nearly 2 years, so he must have nothing to say about his artistic skills.

Huang Ziming was transferred directly by the boss to serve as the main beauty because Cao Yang felt that he had strong abilities and had certain procedural skills. In other words, Huang Ziming was a skilled TA and also had strong art control ability.

Especially in the study of the two-dimensional world, Huang Ziming has a lot of experience.

However, after Huang Ziming entered this project, he found out that the boss had dug a big hole for him.

Before this, art had to make two very different models, which were basically achieved through special effects.

For example, if a person wants to become a cat, a smog of smoke will first expand on the spot, or a light will be used as a block. When this special effect disappears, the cat will appear on the spot.

Some games are more violent, they just change the model and don’t even give you this ball of cigarettes.

Now Boss Cao’s idea is that there is no need for this smoke, but it is necessary to show the process of a girl turning into a gun, because only by being seen can the players feel amazing enough.

Judging from the picture description, a layer of metallic flake will appear on the girl's body surface first, just like the feeling that the skin is composed of a lot of data.

Then the whole girl jumped up, collapsed inward in the air, and then completed the transformation and became a gun and fell into the hands of the male protagonist.

"If it can be realized, how cool would this picture be?" Cao Yang sighed.

This is a damn...

We also know that it will be cool if it can be made.

The key is...

Can we make it?

"This... how to do this?" Deng Peiqiang and Huang Ziming looked at each other, staring at each other with big eyes.

Deng Peiqiang thought for a while and said to Huang Ziming, "Otherwise, the art will make an animation, and then we will play it in it at that time?"

This animation will take about 2 seconds.

"This..." Huang Ziming felt very uncomfortable, "Brother Qiang, do you know how much work it takes? To be so smooth, we need to fill every frame. This thing can be different from the cost of making a skeleton animation."

When I did skeletal animation before, it can be said that it was equivalent to having a bunch of small dots on each human body model. These small dots were equivalent to the part of the connecting line of the puppet. You only need to control the position changes of these points, and the model can change accordingly.

Moreover, there is one advantage of skeleton animation, that is, you can use the motion capture technology to import the real person's movements, and art saves time to pull the bones, and at most it can be made to make some fine adjustments when you finally see the effect.

But……

Damn, who can perform a person turning into a gun for you in reality?

Even if this happens, what should I do if the sensor used to observe?

Will the tights he wears when this person who can turn into a gun will not be broken because of the transformation process?

So what's the result?

In the final situation, the animation can only be adjusted by art. Although it doesn’t take long, just this variation animation of about 2 seconds, the art may take more than a week, provided that the model can be in place. After the production, it will take several days to render it alone.

This art workload is really a bit big.

"Really." Huang Ziming said firmly, "You are really thinking too much. This project is very expensive, and the cost is very expensive for performance and cost. I really don't recommend doing this."

"But if you want to do it in detail, it must be the best art to finish it." Deng Peiqiang frowned.

Huang Ziming frowned, "Is it possible that we provide two models before and after the transformation, and then the program will make the difference transition?"

The so-called difference transition refers to comparing the two frames before and after, obtaining the difference, and then converting the previous model to the latter. This process can be a constant speed process or a variable speed process.

For example, if the center point of a person's left hand is at the position (12,124,52), and then in the next keyframe, his left hand swings to the position (25,142,22), then a difference will be calculated based on the coordinate difference between these two points and the transition will be made according to time.

"The points and face numbers of your front and back models are different. How do you make a difference transition? Even if you can do it, we cannot guarantee the effect. The intermediate process may be very chaotic." Deng Peiqiang said.

"Do you want to try it?" Huang Ziming said weakly, "Look at the effect."

Deng Peiqiang was stunned for a moment and said angrily, "No, I know when I think about it, I will definitely be very colorful in the middle. Just think about it yourself. You have been a person who has been in art for two years, and you have written codes. The points and the number of faces are inconsistent. It would be strange if you don't spend the middle process."

"Um..." Huang Ziming didn't say anything.

He agreed with Deng Peiqiang's judgment. After all, it was not the first day that everyone had played games. Some things could be understood by just thinking about them.

The atmosphere in the conference room was very silent and everyone stopped talking.

Just waiting for someone to make the decision.

The main planner Han Wei looked at Huang Ziming and Deng Peiqiang. He found that they didn't raise their heads and seemed to be thinking, but in fact they were waiting for someone to make a decision.

As for who is the one who made the decision?

It's definitely not Han Wei.

When the boss is away, he may be able to take a photo, but this way of making decisions is meaningless.

Judging from the meaning of Deng Peiqiang and Huang Ziming, they probably think that the variant animation is too complicated, and one word "can't be done."

If the boss is not here, the two of them will only force the palace to let Han Wei cut off this design.

Han Wei can think of it even with his toes—

At that time, Huang Ziming's approach will definitely be to play a special effect block first, and then change the model inside.

The effect seems to be that the girl jumps up, emits a high-tech light in the air, and then falls down, and turns into a gun in the hands of the male protagonist.

But even if such an effect is done, the boss will definitely not be satisfied with it.

At that time, Han Wei will have to be caught between the two ends and be angry.

There are big guys on all sides. The boss asks you to do variant animations. Art and programs tell you that this thing cannot be done. If Han Wei has learned art or programming by himself, he will probably go on it himself. The problem is that he doesn't know.

Han Wei turned his gaze to Cao Yang in discomfort.

Boss Cao was sitting on a chair, holding his chin with his hands and knocking on the coffee table with his other finger.

Deng Peiqiang and Huang Ziming both looked at Han Wei with a gaze, hoping that he could speak out and persuade the boss to give up the transformation.

Why didn’t Han Wei know?

But he didn't know how to speak.

Once you speak, the responsibility will be his. The boss will definitely scold him for not having any planning persistence.

So Han Wei closed his lips tightly and didn't speak even when he beat him to death. He just turned his eyes to other places and did not dare to look at Deng Peiqiang and Huang Ziming's eyes.

This can slightly reduce the guilt in your heart.

...

The conference room fell into silence, as if even the sound of the needle falling to the ground could be heard.

Boss Cao's fingers were knocking on the coffee table.

After a while, he raised his head and said, "What about this? Is it possible to do it based on the color block?"

"Hmm?" Several people raised their heads at the same time.

I don't understand what Boss Cao means.

"I mean - when we are designing the character, we must also consider the correlation between her and the gun. Therefore, the character's imagination and the large color blocks on the clothes actually correspond to the color of the gun. Is it possible to change the difference according to the corresponding color blocks when making a transition?"

"Well... this may not be so messy." Deng Peiqiang thought, "but the specific effect may be tested before we can know.

In fact, if I judge myself, I probably won't be particularly ideal.

Because even if it is a large color block, such as the Desert Eagle, its body is silver and its hair and skirt are silver, this transition will actually be particularly strange. Let me describe it this way, it will eventually look like a collapsed girl, just like a balloon being pierced and then melted into a gun."

"Well..." Cao Yang frowned.

I originally thought this plan was feasible, but what Deng Peiqiang said was right. The effect that would be like this is likely to be, and it would not reach the high-tech hard-core variant that Cao Yang wanted.

"never mind."

In the expectant eyes of everyone, Boss Cao decided to say, "I decided to do it with art."

"Ha?!" Huang Ziming widened his eyes.

"There is no need to do too much, because the time is very short," Cao Yang explained, "You only need to do 4 keyframes in shapes. The first is the model of the girl jumping into the air and her body metalized, the second is the keyframe model of the half-human and semi-mechanical state that her body shrinks inward, and then the next is the model of the metal quick-fitting and part of the gun shape that is completely shrinkable, and even the human form cannot be seen. The last frame gives the complete gun model and falls into the hands of the male protagonist.

The time is so short, there is no need to make any difference in the middle."

"Well..." Huang Ziming frowned, "But in this way, the intermediate process will not be smooth."
