Monster Factory

Director Ding cited this, Ye Qing remembered.

Before Disney and several foreign companies came to Zhongyun to order alloy art, Ye Qing did show them, the incomparable modeling skills of Behemoth Heavy Industries.

But that's a masterpiece of 3D cameras, with solids for shooting.

Starship...

Ye Qing wants to lick his face. Where can I find this thing? Can I take a camera and shoot on the stars?

"Director Ding, I have a question to ask." Ye Qing hesitated, but still said the question: "Why do you have to use computer technology to create special effects?"

"For example, the interstellar spacecraft can make a 1:1, or 1:0.5 entity for shooting."

“This not only makes the picture realistic, it surpasses all special effects, but also saves a lot of time.”

After hearing Ye Qing’s question, the director Ding’s silence for a few seconds, some helpless words: “We also think that the benefits of shooting with real spaceships can’t be finished. But domestic achievements in film models are not as good as special effects. ”

"Special effects, at least there are foreign technology for reference. If you are an entity, the domestic technology is really flattering. Especially this hard sci-fi starship, the domestic entity, certainly feels like a World War II warship, or domestic Warship."

"How much do you plan to spend on the special effects on the Starship?"

Now the monster factory has rushed to the fourth stage, and there is no urgent task for the time being. Ye Qing feels that if the price is right, it is not impossible to take this film special effect.

“The cg special effect is a bottomless pit. Regardless of the foreign country, the cg special effects are charged in seconds. We expect to spend 30 million on the spacecraft special effects of the whole movie.”

“Three million?” Even Ye Qing, who is used to big money, was a little surprised.

Actually spend 30 million to do the kind of interstellar spacecraft cg that only exists in the u disk.

"This is just a special effect on the spacecraft." Director Ding cited a bitter smile: "I said that special effects burn money, I tell you a joke. When Chen directed the filming of the celestial pole, everyone asked him where the money for special effects went. ”

"The results of the special effects company said that Chen Dao estimated that there is a choice of phobia. After a while, they asked for green, blue, purple, yellow, white, black, and Speaking of it, this effect is not necessary... Then I can't say it later, but I changed it to the first version of Red."

"Then the money will burn out..."

"It turns out!" Ye Qing smiled very happy.

Director Ding Yin firmly believes that Ye Qing has unparalleled modeling skills, so he promised that if Ye Qing promised to help them, he would add 20% to the original price.

At the same time ~ after learning about the modeling technology of the giant beast company, he felt that the modeling of industrial products like the Starship is of course the behemoth heavy industry.

If you don't seek a tree that can be magnified many times, as long as the details are done, the spacecraft's swinging, bottom swinging, and posture tumbling are all in line with the mechanics.

The industrial data of these hard-bridge hard horses, director Ding Yinyue thinks, the more I think the behemoth heavy work is the best choice.

The domestic special effects company that I worked with before, it’s okay to be a fairy tales.

As soon as he did this kind of hard science fiction, he immediately revealed the unruly feet of the horse. When the spacecraft was forced to land, it was like the paper plane that the wind blows.

“Ye, do you want to send the previous model data and the previous special effects to you?”

"Line ~ then you send it to my mailbox first, I refer to the reference."

........................

In the crew of the old site of Chengzi Lake, the director Ding cited the phone call and quickly asked the assistant to spend the old effect and time of the previous [Tianyun Film Technology Co., Ltd.] to make the early effect video, and the model of the interstellar spacecraft was sent to Ye Qing. In the mailbox.

To be honest, since the earliest version of the Journey to the 86th edition, the use of a large number of special effects technology, the domestic special effects level has made considerable progress.

The special effects of Journey to the West were completely done by the cumbersome linear editing machine. Knock down the picture of Sun Wukong’s flight and synthesize it into the sky.

Nowadays, the domestic special production effects have been completed by cg technology. The actors acted on the air, and then the special effects company built the model with digital technology. Through rendering and mapping, the real effect was achieved.

The gap between domestic and foreign countries has lost in the accumulation of technology. This is not the gap that can be caught with money.

The same as an explosion, domestic companies may have only a few effects, and foreign countries can choose hundreds of effects from a rich database.

This is also a special effect in China. Many scenes are familiar with the audience. Isn't this a Hollywood movie, or a scene from a foreign game?

Because I can't bear to invest a lot of money, go to the new design, I have to buy those mature models and textures from abroad, and I will change my mind.

Director Ding Yin does not want this, he wants to innovate, wants to integrate into his own elements, and wants to shoot an authentic taste of the domestic science fiction movie.

So before he officially filmed the film, he spent a lot of money and went to Tianyun Special Effects Company to tailor a unique model of the spacecraft.

However, after the effect came out, he dreamed of a ruthless effect video, like a beautiful soap bubble, and "啵" burst.

Fortunately, another investor in this film, Xu Ninggong.

She has seen the signing ceremony held in Sheraton, Ye Qing displayed the alloy tree model, even the entertainment giant Disney, are surprised.

So she told the director Ding Yin that he could hand over this industrial-style starship to the Beast Heavy Industry.

The model is built well, and the rendering technology is definitely not bad.

At this point, the director Ding Yin heard Ye Qing promised to look at the model, and immediately filled with joy, thinking that the design of the most important interplanetary spacecraft finally settled.

However, the ideas of Ye Qing and director Ding Yin are quite different.

Movies and heavy industry are completely two industries, and the ideas between the two industry leaders will naturally not be the same.

Director Ding Yin always believes that only in the modeling and hard work, seriously make every detail of the spacecraft to achieve the effect he wants.

Ye Qing always believes that modeling is better, and that is still a virtual model, something that does not exist.

Therefore, after getting the 3D model and data, Ye Qing carefully watched it, and the possibility of researching could create a 1:1 entity.

If it can't be made, Ye Qing will refuse the director Ding Yin. If it can be made, Ye Qing will make it.

This is a small interstellar spaceship with a total length of 60 meters and a height of five meters. It may take into account the flight in the atmosphere. The spacecraft is quite streamlined. The bow is flat like blue whales, stern flying shears, and hexagonal diamonds. Dual engine structure.

This is not just a shell drawing, because after the spacecraft forced the landing, the heroine used the spaceship as a temporary home, and there were a lot of shots inside the spacecraft.

Therefore, even the space inside was made out, and the structure of the engine room, the cab, the lounge, and the energy room were marked.

The structure and shell design are good, very sci-fi and aesthetic. It's just color rendering, and the textures on it are very poor.

After reading the 3D model, Ye Qing opened the video to see the special effects.

"........." After reading the cg screen for dozens of seconds, Ye Qing had some sympathy for the director Ding.

When the spacecraft flew in outer space, it entered the earth and compared with the rich colors around it, it exposed obvious distortion and stiffness.

And this is a second-hand spaceship, it is necessary to highlight its old sense. However, its texture can't fully reflect this point. The old parts above have no mechanical natural staleness, but they have a fight with the moldy cake.

In all fairness, the director of this cg picture has been qualified. Dante can't lead, he is the best director of domestic special effects, and this kind of picture is self-proclaimed.

Ye Qing sat in the mechanical engineering chair, holding the chin and carefully studying the construction possibilities of the three-dimensional model.
