I saw young faces showing expressions of willingness to be heartbroken.
Li Guangsheng was very satisfied.
As expected of a member of Lin Mu Studio, his mental outlook is good!
He nodded, then patted a few people's shoulders lightly, turned to the person in charge who had been hired from a well-known domestic animation company, and said: "This group of people will be left to you. You do a good job and strive to succeed in the future."
Before the official open beta of "Shen Ge", make a better CG than the other party."
"good."
The person in charge is called Lu Hui, a middle-aged woman in her forties, with short, capable hair and a dashing appearance.
She previously worked for a domestic company specializing in cg animation production. She has been in the industry for nearly ten years and has been in the position of technical director for more than three years.
She graduated with a major in film and television production. She considers herself to be professional in film and television production, has received good professional training, and has excellent aesthetics and good artistic accomplishment.
But she switched jobs because of the huge amount of money, and after hearing Li Guangsheng's request.
Still a little broken.
Damn you.
Make a cg that matches Wrath of the Lich King or even better.
I really dare to say it.
At that time, this CG had just come out, and everyone at my former employer was dumbfounded after watching it. They were shocked that a game company could actually produce such a top-notch CG.
Just two minutes.
No matter what aspect, it has been achieved to the extreme.
It doesn't seem to say anything, but it makes people feel like they are watching an epic story.
As one of the leading animation companies in the country, her former employer did not dare to say that it would be able to produce such a work.
You are a game company that has just started and wants to create this kind of top-notch CG that not only requires spending money, but may also require the hard work of the entire production team.
You want to eat shit.
So when she heard this request, she immediately wanted to leave her job.
Fortunately, Li Guangsheng's last words saved her.
He said he would find a way to recruit people from Lin Mu Studio.
Lu Hui finally had some confidence and stayed.
If you can recruit people from the other party's CG production team, you can understand the other party's production process and some of their ideas.
Then analyze the success of replicating the other party.
Lu Hui is now very satisfied when she sees the eight production staff hired from Lin Mu Studio in front of her.
There are quite a few people.
She feels more confident.
"Come with me."
Lu Hui nodded to the people in front of her, then led them towards her department.
Li Guangsheng watched them go away, and then he couldn't help but feel heroic in his heart.
Our company also has a professional CG team.
As long as you are willing to spend money, it is not impossible to surpass Lin Mu Studio.
After all, the other party can do it.
Why can't Tianhu do it?
Li Guangsheng returned to his office with a smile on his face.
And the other side.
Lu Hui took eight people back to the CG department where Tianhu was located.
She did not assign work immediately, but chatted with these eight people to first find out what they were responsible for at Linmu Studio.
Most of these eight people are 3D modelers, that is, 3D modelers.
There is also a rigging artist, an animator...
Lu Hui was stunned after hearing this.
The CG art industry is actually very similar to animation production.
I won’t mention the positions of storyboard director.
There must be.
Lu Hui also knew that Li Guangsheng would definitely not be able to recruit such a core figure.
But among so many people, isn’t it outrageous that not even a single concept designer has been hired?
The so-called concept designer is a person who designs character creature shapes, weapon shapes, surrounding environment shapes, scene atmosphere, etc.
This type of person is one of the most important types of work in the CG team, because design, history, functionality, and art all have to be taken into consideration.
Next is the original painter or illustrator. The work that the person responsible for this type of work needs to do may seem very similar to that of the concept designer, but in fact there are still some differences.
What they mainly do is... to draw well. These people may not have so high requirements for design sense, but they have very high requirements for the overall picture, especially the atmosphere and details.
Next, there is the 3D modeler, whose main job is to turn the 2D drawing into 3D, so that the model can rotate 360 degrees without dead ends.
There are a lot of things to worry about, such as character modeling not affecting post-production.
You also need to have a sufficient understanding of form, proportion, structure, outline and even sculpture.
They need strong art skills. The models made by people without art skills are likely to be a piece of shit.
As for the rigging artist, his main job is to add the skeleton to the 3D model that needs to be moved, and then make different controllers for the animators to control.
The animator's job is to make the designed and produced models move.
Special effects artists, lighting engineers, technical artists, and final compositing engineers, etc.
There is nothing more to say about these.
literal meaning.
So the entire CG production line.
You can't say that 3D modelers are not important. This is a very important group in CG production, and also has subdivided responsibilities such as characters, props, and scenes.
Most of the 3D modelers recruited by Li Guangsheng this time must have art skills, otherwise Linmu Studio would not be able to recruit them. Lu Huineng can communicate with them smoothly.
But what Lu Hui wants is not them, but design talents.
In her opinion, the CG of Wrath of the Lich King is not only well-made.
The shaping of the overall atmosphere, the design of characters, and the design of weapons are the most important.
This is the so-called conceptual design.
But here, let alone a concept designer, there is not even an original painting.
This...is of no use.
Although it is difficult to recruit excellent 3D modelers, it is not impossible to recruit them. If you want to recruit such people, it would be better to go directly to her former employer.
She feels comfortable using those people.
After all, she is familiar with it.
What she wants is someone who can design.
"...Don't any of you have been responsible for concept design or original painting?"
After chatting for a while, Lu Hui couldn't bear it anymore and asked.
"Well... although the CG team we were in before had a lot of people, they didn't have the duties of concept design, original painting, director storyboarding, etc..."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Hear Lu Hui’s words.
Among them, Nie Xiao, who had been in the studio for almost a year, looked embarrassed, and then replied tactfully.
"There is no concept design and original painting? There is no director, storyboard and other duties?"
Lu Hui was shocked.
How was CG made?
Nie Xiao thought for a while, organized some measures, and said: "...or to be more precise, there is someone in charge, but only one person."
"One person? The storyboard, director, concept design, and original painting are all the same person???" Lu Hui was even more shocked when she heard what the other party said.
Made by one person?
"Well, in fact, she also participated in the final special effects, synthesis and animation. She even held the camera while doing the animation and asked us to play out the CG content first, so that we could refer to it."
Another animator who came over from another job offered a compliment.
"Who?" Lu Hui asked slightly anxiously.
"Who else could it be? Lin Yao."
Nie Xiao gave her a strange look.
"Lin Yao...Lin Yao..."
Lu Hui worked in an animation company before and didn't play games, let alone visit game forums. If Tianhu hadn't poached her this time and Wrath of the Lich King CG was released, she wouldn't have known what Linmu Studio was.
company.
And behind the CG, the credits will not be displayed in a garish manner.
So for this name.
She wasn't familiar with it.
"...You go and sit there first. My assistant will help you get familiar with it. I'll leave for a while."
Lu Hui thought for a moment, then suddenly stood up, left a word, and left in a hurry.
Her assistant began to lead Nie Xiao and others to familiarize themselves with the work and show them around.
Just started.
Nie Xiao and others actually didn't take it seriously.
This is what they have been doing.
And because the barriers in several departments of Linmu Studio are very weak.
They also go to the game department to help out a lot.
Not just CG, many games have their traces.
As a 3d artist.
They are qualified.
But look at it.
Suddenly, they realized a very serious problem.
Something's not right...there's no Blue Star engine here.
The production process is also very different.
After all, Lu Hui comes from an animation company, and Linmu Studio is a CG team established based on the Blue Star engine, and because Lin Yao is the leader, they have requirements for almost every aspect of the work.
Many people even just need to do it.
But here... that's not necessarily the case.
Nie Xiao was the first to realize this problem, and his face slowly turned a little ugly.
Especially when I saw the concept designer submit the design drawings and some original paintings, and then quarreled with the 3D modeler, I felt even worse.
what is this?
Is this called a design drawing? Is this called an original painting?
And the other side.
Lu Hui hurried to Li Guangsheng's office.
Because Li Guangsheng attaches great importance to her department.
So if she had anything to do, she could tell her secretary directly and then see Li Guangsheng.
"Mr. Li."
After being informed by the secretary, Lu Hui hurried into Li Guangsheng's office.
"What's wrong?"
Li Guangsheng is pouring champagne into the glass.
He was in a good mood and was so proud that he opened a bottle of champagne to celebrate.
"I beg you to dig out another person, no matter the cost. As long as we dig her out, we will definitely be able to replicate the success of Wrath of the Lich King, I guarantee it!" Lu Hui directly issued a military order.
"Oh? Who? Can make you so anxious? Qi Jianhua?"
Li Guangsheng raised his cup and asked with some interest.
Lu Hui said loudly: "No! Her name is Lin Yao!"
"puff--"
Li Guangsheng spit out all the champagne he just drank.
Then he coughed violently.
Lu Hui: "..."
"Why?"
After a while, Li Guangsheng managed to stop coughing, raised his head, and asked with a dark face instead of reminding him.
Lu Hui was a little surprised as to why the boss was in such a state of affairs, but she still explained what she had just heard from the poached person.
Then he said sincerely: "So boss, as long as you recruit this person..."
"Are you saying that CG is all the result of Lin Yao!? Do you know who Lin Yao is?" Li Guangsheng was slightly startled, then interrupted Lu Hui directly and asked almost through gritted teeth.
"Yes, Lin Yao... who is she?"
"She is the boss of Lin Mu Studio! Boss!" Li Guangsheng half shouted.
"ha?"
Lu Hui's voice suddenly rose in pitch.
Stunned on the spot.
After a while, she came back to her senses and said with a desperate look on her face: "That's nothing to compare with! You can't dig it out, you can't make it."
