Motion capture technology, referred to as motion capture, refers to the use of sensors, signal capture, data transmission and data processing equipment to measure, track and record the movement trajectory of objects in three-dimensional space, and finally establish the corresponding three-dimensional space coordinate data
.
This technology was first born in the 1970s. It was initially used as a photographic image analysis tool in biomechanical research. As the technology matures, it has expanded to education, training, sports, computer animation, television, movies, video games and other fields.
In 2009, when the most famous science fiction director in the United States, McKate, was filming the science fiction blockbuster "Legend of the Stars", the special effects CG was completed using motion capture technology throughout the entire process, realizing the perfect combination of motion capture technology in the movie, allowing the touch ap to appear in the movie.
It has landmark significance.
"Starry Sky" was officially released in 2011, with a global box office of more than 2 billion U.S. dollars, and won 5 Oscars and multiple Oscars for Science and Technology. Motion capture technology was indispensable.
Since the success of "Star Wars", motion capture technology has become popular all over the world and has developed extremely rapidly. However, in terms of technological advancement, Hollywood's special effects production companies are absolutely unrivaled in the world.
China has also introduced a full set of motion capture technology in the past few years, but the domestic special effects companies' touch aps have always had problems with stiff and unsmooth movements and insufficient details, which is very different from the level of Hollywood.
Lu Chen has a certain understanding of motion capture. This time he came to the United States to inspect, and he was also very concerned about this aspect, because the martial arts IP plan he is going to create will inevitably involve a lot of motion capture technology, including movies, animations,
Games and more.
So Mir's proposal played into his heart.
Blue Sky Studio's touch ap is not the best in the industry, but it has its own unique technology and patents.
Compared with their counterparts in the United States, domestic special effects companies are not only lagging behind in capital, technology, and personnel, but their accumulation of technology research and development and technology patents are also very different. Small businesses like Blue Sky Studio,
It also invests a lot of money and manpower in technology research and development to form its own advantageous patents.
The digital studio it owns covers an area of nearly 200 square meters and is 12 meters high. It was transformed from the open-air central garden of the original building. It contains a large number of high-tech equipment and is considered the core asset of the studio.
There are hundreds of optical cameras arranged in the studio alone, which can record and shoot the target in 360 degrees without blind spots. It is also equipped with a 3D holographic scanning system and so on.
When Mir introduced Lu Chen, there was indescribable pride in his tone: "We are the best!"
He asked his employees to send him a set of black clothes and said: "This is the patented fgk data suit registered by our studio. It has 277 high-precision sensors built in, which can capture the smallest movements..."
"Mr. Lu Chen, do you want to try it?"
Lu Chen nodded. He was really interested.
Mir smiled and said: "Very good, I'll let everyone prepare. Please put it on first."
It was not easy to put on this data suit. Lu Chen was assisted by two professionals in the locker room and it took him 20 minutes to put it on completely.
The size of the data suit can be adjusted, so it fit perfectly after putting it on. Lu Chen tried it on and found that the joints were very flexible and there was no sense of blockage. It felt like wearing a set of close-fitting underwear.
But the appearance is absolutely full of technology, and nearly 300 high-precision sensors flash with a faint blue light after being powered on, creating a psychedelic visual effect.
Under the guidance of the staff, Lu Chen came to a huge green screen.
Three digital cameras were trained on him from different locations.
Mir stood beside a camera facing Lu Chen, with a row of computer screens in front of him.
The CEO of Blue Sky Studio said loudly to Lu Chen: "Lu, you can express yourself freely. You can do whatever you want. Walking, running, jumping... it's up to you!"
Lu Chen's knowledge of motion capture technology was limited to relevant information, and this was his first time to experience the magic of this technology in person.
After adapting to the data suit on his body, he started taking action.
Lu Chen did not follow Mir's suggestion, but improvised a set of Mountain Collapsing Boxing!
Bengshan Quan originated from Mo Ran's memory in the dream world. This boxing technique is not a traditional martial arts routine, but a military boxing technique passed down from ancient times. It is equivalent to the ancient military boxing. The moves are fierce and sharp and focus on actual combat effects.
At the beginning, Lu Chen's moves were not very fast, and his punches and kicks were steady and vigorous. But as the muscles and bones in his body gradually became more active, the speed of his punches and kicks increased, and the intensity became even more intense.
Double improvement.
As the name suggests, Collapse Mountain Boxing is a fist that collapses rocks and mountains. Although it is impossible to achieve a real collapse of mountains in reality, the essence of this boxing method is its emphasis on strength and momentum.
The Collapsing Mountain Fist performed by Lu Chen undoubtedly brought out this essence to the fullest, with one punch blasting forward, the wind of the fist roaring and majestic!
In this studio, there were more than 20 people from Blue Sky Studio, and everyone's attention was all on Lu Chen. At first, they were all confused and didn't understand what Lu Chen was doing.
Lu Chen's movements are not like boxing, and judo is not like judo. Could it be Chinese juggling?
However, soon, the confusion, curiosity and even ridicule on their faces turned into shock!
Mir was stunned.
Even from a distance of five or six meters, he could clearly feel the power contained in the boxing moves performed by Lu Chen, and aside from the unfamiliarity and novelty, Lu Chen's practice of Collapse Mountain Fist also made him realize that,
What is the beauty of violence!
Although there was no target opponent, Lu Chen's "attack" was like a violent storm, which made onlookers almost suffocated and even trembled because they could imagine what kind of harsh blow they would endure if they were standing on the opposite side of Lu Chen.
.
This kind of instinctive awe for powerful power, which comes from life, made everyone hold their breath. What could be heard in the entire studio was the sound of Lu Chen's fists and feet screaming through the air, which was endless!
Then, none of these Americans could clearly see Lu Chen's moves. They could only see the shining light of the sensors on the data suit forming a series of faint blue lights and shadows, flying and swirling in front of the green screen.
Many people swear that this is one of the most incredible scenes they have ever seen in their lives! ——
