Play Game of Life

Monday, December 4.

Lu Zhixing strolled to the second research group, and after greeting various acquaintances along the way, he went straight to the research room where Chi Yue was.

Chi Yue was still the same as usual, wearing MR glasses, and was tirelessly moving the material.

Her eyes are constantly moving back and forth between the blank space in front of her and the computer screen on the side, and she skillfully manipulates the high-precision hand-painted board in front of her with both hands, constantly transferring the material of the deep world into reality.

"call."

It seemed that work had come to an end, and she finally let out a sigh of relief.

Lu Zhixing had generated too many resources before, she worked overtime to move them, and now only about 70% of them have been moved. The rest are some high-precision, difficult-to-handle resources, which is a big headache.

But at this speed, we should be able to move more or less in another month or so.

For the rest of the research group, the more these resources, the better. After all, other people in the group can have group benefits and can buy these resources at half price, but for Chi Yue, it is not a good thing.

When I looked up, I happened to see Lu Zhixing.

Chi Yue's face instantly turned pale, with a frightened expression: "You! What are you doing here!"

Lu Zhixing said truthfully: "Oh, I'm here to pick up some resources that have already been transported, the resources of "Ordinary Life". It should be enough to pay a small amount of transportation fee?"

Hearing this, Chi Yue breathed a sigh of relief: "It's not just to generate new resources! You can choose which resources you want."

Seeing Chi Yue's state like a frightened bird, Lu Zhixing wanted to laugh a little.

It is estimated that he is the person Chi Yue is most afraid of in the entire research team now. After all, it has increased Chi Yue's workload like a flood in a short period of time. Who can stand it!

Lu Zhixing randomly found a computer nearby, and briefly checked the materials that had been transported.

Compared with the original version, these materials still have a little bit of detail lost, but after all, they are all used in computers or mobile phones, and they will be compressed, so this loss of detail is irrelevant.

Especially for the mobile version, these materials may be compressed dozens or even hundreds of times, and the viewing angle will also change.

Lu Zhixing eliminated a few unused materials, then packed most of the materials, and automatically generated quotations.

With so many materials, the total cost required is only tens of thousands of dollars.

Of course, this is because the material was originally produced by Lu Zhixing, so there is no need to pay for the material itself, and the handling fee is also 50% off within the group, so it is so cheap.

If someone outside wants to buy it, the transportation fee alone will have to be doubled, not to mention the cost of purchasing the material itself.

Although the transportation fee is not cheap at first glance, it includes the labor of Chi Yue, a top painter, and other costs such as the computing power consumption of professional machines during the AI ​​restoration process, so overall, it is considered the price of cabbage.

Lu Zhixing paid with his mobile phone and prepared to leave.

Chi Yue has been carefully watching his movements until she is sure that he really does not intend to generate new resources, then she is relieved and continues to work on her own affairs.

Like a frightened bird.

Lu Zhixing continued to walk out, but as soon as he reached the lobby of the research group, he heard the voices of Zhou Ping and Wang Yang.

"This old Feng is waiting to give me eye drops." This was Zhou Ping's voice.

"Who made Team Leader Feng miss a good seed, and with the popularity of "Ordinary Life" before, the whole group was asking 'What does Team Leader Feng think?', he must be a little frustrated.

"But our team may not lose in this competition. The motion capture actors in our team are all quite strong." This is Wang Yang's voice.

"It's hard to say, Lao Feng may have found foreign aid."

"Strange, the official seems to be paying more and more attention to this kind of competition recently. Last year in this competition, the rewards at the city level were only one or two places for the internal test and a few hundred points of resources. How come this year it has directly increased by more than ten times? "

Just as Zhou Ping was about to say something, he happened to see Lu Zhixing, and his eyes lit up: "Hey? Zhixing, there is something I want to tell you. Come to my office."

Lu Zhixing greeted Wang Yang, and then followed Zhou Ping to his office.

"Come on, Coke."

Zhou Ping personally took out the Coke from the small refrigerator and handed it to Lu Zhixing.

Lu Zhixing asked: "Team leader, did you just say there was a competition? Is it related to a group?"

Zhou Ping smiled: "Oh, it's actually not a particularly important competition. This is an annual 'Motion Capture Challenge' organized by the government. Jinghai is one of the sub-venues."

Lu Zhixing was stunned for a moment: "Motion Capture Challenge? What is that?"

Zhou Ping explained: "It is an official internal competition specially prepared for motion capture actors.

"You also know that the researchers in each research group have different identities in reality. There are designers, programmers, athletes, motion capture actors, etc. Among them, athletes and motion capture actors are essential.

"After all, in the virtual world, if you want to get the best experience, you must ensure that every move of the player is consistent with reality. The smaller the difference, the stronger the player's sense of immersion. Therefore, there is a lot of debugging in this regard need.

"The status of motion capture actors has also increased rapidly.

"After all, the former motion capture actors are just tool people who cooperate with the game company to make actions, and even the actions do not need special standards. Even if there is a small flaw, it will not be a big problem to change it into a game model and then adjust it by the designer. .

"But now, motion-capture actors directly determine the basic experience of players in the deep virtual space, and this status will naturally increase."

Lu Zhixing came to a sudden: "So that's how it is."

This point is actually easy to understand. What is real VR? The smaller the gap with reality, the better.

All technical research on VR is heading in this direction.

What can most affect the gap between virtual and reality? It is nothing more than the various detailed senses of the player in the virtual world: such as sight, hearing, touch, taste, and especially, movement.

Everything else is easy to say, even if there is a slight deviation, it will only make players feel that this virtual world is a bit fake, and it will not have any essential impact on the experience.

But the action is different.

As long as the action felt by the player is slightly different from reality, it will feel uncomfortable all over, and it is very easy to play.

For example, why didn't Lu Zhixing's VR technology work in his previous life? After the development of display technology, the screen door effect has not been able to be eliminated on the one hand, but the more critical reason is that the traditional VR mode uses handles to control the movement, which causes a huge sense of fragmentation in the action.

Most people will faint or even vomit. Only a few people can adapt after training, and even if they adapt, the experience is not good.

Lu Zhixing asked curiously: "Team leader, why do I feel that Jinghai has so many important events recently? It seems that many events in the game circle will be held in Jinghai."

Zhou Ping smiled: "Of course, because Jinghai is one of the top five game centers in our country."

Lu Zhixing: "The five major game centers?"

Zhou Yiping was a little surprised: "Why, don't you know which five cities they are? It's easy to guess, Jingzhou, Imperial Capital, Modu, Yangcheng, and Jinghai.

"However, compared with the previous four centers with deep foundations, Jinghai's development is relatively slow. As a city with entertainment and cultural industries as its pillar, Jinghai has really developed in the past 20 years.

"Although the Changteng Group has been criticized in many places, its establishment in Jinghai has indeed driven the development of the city, there is no doubt about it.

"If you want to talk about the holy land of gamers, of course it is Jingzhou, but well, the world is so big, and there is only one Jingzhou."

Lu Zhixing asked again: "What is the main competition in this motion capture competition?"

"Of course it's more about action." Zhou Ping explained, "Simply put, it's obstacle running, parkour, climbing, jumping, fighting, gun fighting, shooting, etc. In short, any game that may use motion capture , all have competitions.”

He paused for a while, and continued: "However, compared with previous years, there is one obvious difference this year: In the past, there were special venues for this competition in reality, but having a venue means that there are restrictions. But this year , due to the development of 'Taiqing' deep space technology, this competition has been moved to the virtual world.

"However, even though it is in the virtual world, many players will still come to Jinghai as usual. After all, these players usually travel far and wide, and they also want to take this opportunity to get together. What's more, before the game, they have to be in the real world. train it.

"By the way, doesn't your new game just need motion-captured actors?

"The main reason I came to you is to talk about this: If you need motion capture actors, you can contact those contestants who came to Jinghai to participate in the competition. The effect is definitely much better than ordinary motion capture actors. After all, they are The best batch."

Lu Zhixing smiled and shook his head: "There is no need for this, team leader. I have already made arrangements for motion capture."
