On the chat interface of v letter, there are notes and related content about the e3 exhibition that she sent.
In a nutshell, if you have something to show, you should start preparing it now.
Meng Shu rubbed his chin while looking at the large section above.
Now, "Secret Laboratory" has been successfully launched, and the VR version of "Dark Forest" is also in steady progress due to the expansion of the company's employees.
Of course, it’s just about art resources.
In terms of programming, we still have to rely on his development engine that even a monkey can use.
Now that everything is settled, it's time to start the e3 exhibition.
After Meng Shu carefully browsed the large piece of content sent by supervisor Lian, he picked up the coffee on the table, took a sip, and typed a response.
[Director Lian, after reading what you sent, I would like to ask a question. Does the organizer only provide the venue, stage and basic electrical equipment? We are responsible for the rest, including decoration? ]
After sending it out, Meng Shu lay on the chair and kissed and rocked her.
After a while, the supervisor replied slowly.
[No, Mr. Meng, the booth has been decorated. We cannot carry out secondary decoration on the booth. If you want to do something, you can only do it without damaging the stand. ]
[Mr. Meng, do you have any ideas? ]
Meng Shu was in front of the computer thoughtfully, his fingertips lightly touching the desktop. After a pause, he expressed his thoughts.
[Have you ever seen a virtual idol’s 3D concert? ]
[...ah? ]
When Meng Shu saw the word 'ah' and the question mark behind it, there was no need to guess, she didn't understand.
[Okay, you should know those anchors wearing two-dimensional skins, right? To put it simply, it is to turn the models of these virtual characters into 3D. Then it is projected on the stage through technology, and then real people provide motion capture to realize it on the booth. ]
[Another method is to place a large screen on the booth and project the virtual stage and virtual characters into it in real time. Then, through the layout of the venue, the real scene and the virtual scene on the screen are consistent in style, forming an illusion of integration. Let the audience feel that the virtual characters appear on the real stage. ]
[In fact, no matter what method, it is essentially equivalent to a concert or stage play, except that the people singing and performing are all virtual 3D models, and real people provide motion capture and voice expressions behind the scenes. ]
Meng Shu's words stunned Director Lian, and he didn't know how to answer for a moment.
She admitted that she didn’t know much about two-dimensional scam anchors or virtual idol concerts.
Therefore, after reading these three paragraphs of Mr. Meng, I felt a little incredible.
[This... I don't know if it can be done. I have to ask someone who knows the business. ]
Seeing such a reply, Meng Shu also understood that Director Lian had never been involved in the circle of virtual idols.
In fact, he didn't know much about it himself.
They just know that the companies behind these scam anchors can use technology to perform on the stage.
The reason why he was so sure was because in his original world, he happened to see a chorus program called 'Voice of Creation' online.
The violin troupe inside is all real people, while the band conductor, piano accompanist, harp and cellist are played by 3D virtual characters.
The two truths and one falsehood appear shocking on the sacred symphony stage, and the music is also unforgettable and very beautiful.
Not to mention that the 3D characters inside are clearly bright and dark under the light, giving them a three-dimensional feel.
So, if it could be done to this extent in the original world, there is no reason why it can't be done in this world where VR has become popular.
He just doesn't understand the technology of this industry, but that doesn't mean he doesn't have it.
Therefore, Meng Shu searched on the Internet. Sure enough, there really is a virtual idol concert, and it is even higher than the standard in the original world!
This proves it is possible!
But most of these virtual concerts are from Japan. There are also some from China, but they are very few. I don’t know why they are not taken seriously.
But this is none of Meng Shu's business, he just needs to confirm that he can do it.
Seeing this, Meng Shu typed a reply.
[It can be done, it’s just a matter of money. Director Lian, you can ask those virtual idol operating companies, or you can ask Japanese companies H and C to see if they can provide technical support. ]
After waiting for a while, a message was sent from V letter.
[Okay Mr. Meng, I just searched it and understand what you think. But Mr. Meng, what exactly do you plan to do? ]
After receiving the reply, Meng Shu smiled.
[I am going to spend a lot of money to perform a special effects stage show for the players. ]
…? ? ?
Spend... huge sums of money?
Performing a special effects stage play...?
Manager Lian on the other end of the phone was stunned again.
[Mr. Meng, what do you mean, are you planning to find a few virtual idols to hold a concert at e3? ]
Meng Shu:......
Meng Shu stood in front of the computer and held his forehead speechlessly. Why did the manager think of that?
He went to e3 to promote the game, not to invite people to sing.
But he still gave a reply in the chat.
[No, I am going to perform a special effects show on the stage based on the content of the next game for players around the world. ]
After the message was sent, Meng Shu got up with his cell phone and came to the floor-to-ceiling window.
Looking at the dawning stars and waning moon and the neon city outside, the corners of his mouth curled up.
Now, it is known that 3D virtual reality technology is feasible, and its purpose can be achieved.
Of course, the problem is just more money and less money.
But as long as money is involved, it's not a problem.
Regarding the e3 exhibition, Meng Shu's idea is neither difficult nor simple.
It's just a virtual zombie war on stage.
The next game he has decided on is "Dead Space".
In order to maximize the publicity effect, you have to spend some money to make good use of this e3 exhibition.
Isaac, the protagonist of "Dead Space", has an eye-popping armor-covering process in the game.
Every player was shocked by the mechanical armor when they first met it.
What man doesn’t have a dream of transformation? Which man doesn't have a dream of mecha?
Although the engineering costume in "Dead Space" cannot be called a mecha, the design of the appearance brings a bit of this feeling into it.
Therefore, the process of covering armor and dressing up is a way he wants to show the world to know the game mechanics in advance.
And with his modifications, the clothes on the body can emerge layer by layer like headgear and fit tightly.
Similar to Iron Man in the original world.
However, this process is not easy.
After all, this is not a movie, but a live stage play.
Armored clothing requires special effects production, and special effects are usually post-produced and cannot be added in real time on the exhibition stage.
Therefore, in order to complete the armor covering process, he must find the virtual idol operating company to understand the situation.
See if special effects can be added on-site. If not, then prepare the special effects in advance and project the video during the performance.
In short, there are videos of virtual anchor concerts on the Internet, which contain real-time special effects. Logically speaking, this should be possible.
If it can be done, then the screaming 'transformation' in "Dead Space" can be shown in reality!
Soon, supervisor Lian sent a message, but she still expressed confusion.
He also asked a few questions, trying to pry into some details of the special effects stage play.
When Meng Shu saw this, he didn't hide it and just revealed everything.
All the contents, from beginning to end, were told to her in general.
This surprised Director Lian who was far away in another city.
But soon, she replied on the v letter.
[Mr. Meng, I understand what you mean. Well, let’s just go directly to the two virtual idol companies in Japan. They have been in this business for a long time, have experience and technical support, and have also cooperated with our company. I will explain the situation to the person in charge of overseas promotion now and ask him to talk to Company H and Company C. ]
[But Mr. Meng, your idea must have a large budget. ]
Meng Shu returned to his seat, took a sip of coffee and smiled.
Supported so quickly, it seems that the previous games have really brought them sweetness, so that they are trying their best to meet the current requirements no matter what they are.
If you are doing your own distribution, these cooperative resources must be obtained step by step.
So Meng Shu picked up the phone and replied.
[Money can be earned slowly, but reputation, I don’t want to save it slowly. ]
[Preliminary publicity is very important. You, Infinite Entertainment, know this better than I do. It is a great thing to attract attention at e3 and earn a wave of reputation from abroad. ]
[In short, I need a professional company that can provide this kind of stage virtual technology, please excuse me. ]
After a while, the manager Lian on the other end of the letter replied and said that he would try his best to promote it.
Meng Shu nodded inwardly. After putting down his phone, he looked at the computer in front of him and began to plan the follow-up work.
So first of all, let’s get a demo version of “Dead Space”.
