Chapter 762: Lelouch's game optimization

Although Morinka wanted to revise the release time, it was a pity that Anno didn't agree. Dust? Fate? Literature? Learning? Net?
There is no way, Morinia's plan has to be carried out according to the original plan.
In the end, Senxia and the others also made a new plan.
Lelouch’s animation will start in July. The first episode will be an extended version. There are 13 episodes in the first season. In January 2000, the second half of the first season will be broadcast separately. The 14th episode is also an extended version. .
As for the game, it will be released at the end of August.
"If you make an animation with all your heart and soul, put all the power of Musashino into it, and then find a way to find other animation manufacturers to cooperate, it will probably be done."
In the Animic club, Iki is evaluating their entire strategy.
"In terms of games, it should be possible to complete it in August, but the construction period is more tight than the animation." It is Morinatsu who said this.
"Ah, it's only more than half a year, this is really hard to handle." Qianjia is also looking at the company's information.
"By the way, is there really no problem if we do this now?" Lihua muttered, "I remember we still have other jobs?"
If they want to devote themselves to the production of Lelouch, they will be restricted in other work. During this period of Anmic, they probably don't have to think about developing other games.
But there are still a lot of things about Senxia and their club.
"My support is also a problem..."
As a good young man who hates copycats and hates copycat piracy, Senxia feels that Xiao Ma is still very promising.
QICQ's current development prospects are very good. Although there is no profit point, it is still good for someone to take the lead.
In addition, there is also the 18X vest club of DW. Although Lao Xu and the others are helping in this place, Senxia does not have the spare energy to take care of it.
"Temporarily leave it to Lao Xu and the others, and then let's take a look and find two scripters..." Senxia felt that for the time being, I could only leave it to Lao Xu and the others to do it. There was no way for human affairs. But Lao Xu still has contacts, and Senxia has enough funds, so in any case, there should be no problems in this regard. Guikujie will probably be able to launch a demo version in three months.
"Then there is an animated movie of "Fate no Sky"." Mori Xia asked this question. "Fortunately, our side is mainly co-production. Otherwise, things will be more troublesome. But in this case, the main aspect is Work, mainly because I need to come forward..."
This aspect of work is mainly because Senxia himself needs to come forward. The script design and the structure of the story seem to be not so easy to deal with.
"Well, I'll talk about personal matters later, let's talk about the club-related matters first." Qianjia asked Mori to talk about the club-related matters first.
"That's nothing, it's mainly about technical matters." Senxia didn't think there was a big problem.
"What about PRGMaker and the Mithril platform?"
Qianjia said a place.
"In this case, I don't have any ideas for the time being. Although I have a lot of ideas, I can't realize it at present. If our current network speed can be doubled, I think this possibility is quite big."
But not.
The Japanese do not even realize that at this time, even a certain eastern country with an underdeveloped Internet will be ahead of Japan in terms of Internet.
Want to wait for the Internet to develop?
Two more years!
However, Mori Xia's meaning is not to completely abandon the Internet. He said: "The biggest development opportunity for the Mithril platform is in the United States. More broadly, it is North Mi, and then Europe and Japan. At the third level."
It's still early.
This is Senxia's view.
"So, my current idea is to set up a department, and then specialize in this area, separate from the game part."
"Well, that's fine."
Qianjia nodded.
After talking about this, the remaining thing is to mobilize contacts.
Whether it's begging grandpa to sue grandma, or waving the killer trick of banknotes, Senxia and the others are trying to find ways to pull people.
After Qianjia and the others were busy, Senxia went to the other room.
Kuroshima Ichiro and Huang Lei are working hard here at this time.
"Ah, Teacher Xia Sen!"
After seeing Morinka coming, Ichiro Kuroshima stood up.
"Well, how is your engine writing now?"
When the demo was shown before, although it felt pretty good, there was a situation that was as cheating as the game "Army Civilization": the configuration requirements were too high.
Originally, this Demo was intended to be displayed on Winter CM, but for this reason, they finally did not get the unfinished version up-because the notebook can't run at all...
But it doesn't matter, because this game is a "masterpiece" Morinka and they are about to produce. Although this work cannot go to the winter CM, it will be listed in the E3 game exhibition.
Although the E3 game show this year is not as good as the future E3, it is still a small name in the industry.
In addition, they will go to the Tokyo Game Show from March 20th to 21st this year.
Well, that's right, it's the Tokyo Game Show that claims to be as famous as E3 in the future.
In this year, the Tokyo Game Show was held twice a year, once in the spring and once in the fall. The 1999 Tokyo Game Show was held from March 20th to 21st.
The Tokyo Game Show is at the Makuhari Messe (also known as Makuhari Messe) in Chiba Prefecture.
By the way, in the early 90s, Comiket was held in Makuhari Messe several times.
"Well, it's barely finished." After hearing Morinka's question, Ichiro Kuroshima sighed with emotion, "At least the requirements for game configuration have dropped a lot now, and we also follow Mr. Xia Sen’s suggestion strengthened the design of facial expressions."
When talking about this question, what appeared on Kuroshima Ichiro’s face was the expression of sublime and joy that finally arrived after crossing the endless darkness. Even Mori Xia felt the kind that came from him. tragic.
"Thanks for your hard work," Morinatsu patted Kuroshima Ichiro on the shoulder, "but the work in the back will probably be more difficult."
Well, although I am very sorry to Ichiro Kurojima, I am afraid that they will only have more work behind them.
No way, who is Kurojima Ichiro? They are social animals. Since they are social animals, they can only work quickly...
After speaking with Ichiro Kuroshima, Ichiro Kuroshima called Huang Lei over.
"With respect to this modification, we have put a lot of effort, mainly to optimize the modeling and textures. We have directly removed many model textures to save space-of course, Mainly in terms of scenes."
One place that 3D games cannot do without is modeling and mapping.
The so-called texture is the appearance of the object. For example, there is a beautiful car in the game. The patterns and lines on the car are the texture. If the texture is removed, the players may see it. The pink or gray model or the entire car "disappears" directly. As to whether it disappears or becomes something else, this is determined by the game engine and the game's calling mechanism.
The use of textures can make the picture very beautiful, but a problem that this brings is that as textures increase, the game itself will become more and more stuck.
Generally speaking, a model is about one texture, but some beginners will get a dozen textures for a model to achieve the effect of a texture, and the things that these beginners make will change the resource call. It is very large, so that the whole picture becomes stuck.
"In order to optimize, we removed all the textures in unnecessary places, and directly filled the graphics with commands. The effect was not satisfactory, but after fully optimized, at least half of the resources can be saved."
Huang Lei wiped his sweat while talking. He had also communicated with the domestic side about this matter, but the Agni Civilization got the investment from Intel. They felt that as long as this game allows Pentium 3 to play games, it will be fine. Moreover, optimization is time-consuming and laborious, and is not necessary at all.
After some exchanges, Huang Lei knew that he could only rely on himself for everything.
Although the game’s graphics are exquisite, it consumes a lot of game resources. In the end, everyone’s computer can’t be played, so it’s meaningless.
Because of the limited time, Huang Lei has no way to make large-scale changes to the engine. At this time, he can only make corrections where he can think of. The most important points are the "skeleton", "model" and " Stickers".
"I directly let the system generate color blocks and graphics, although the workload will be relatively large, but at least the effect is still very good."
Although textures are needed to make a 3D model, this is not absolute. A real master, when making a 3D model, can directly use system commands to let the system directly "fill" the graphics onto the model.
To make an inappropriate analogy, it is as if someone used PS to draw a picture on white paper, and it took him an hour, while another person directly used the paint bucket tool or pen in the game. Brush the tool, click the mouse, a color block and pattern appear.
Therefore, the amount of resources consumed between more than a dozen textures and no textures is completely different.
"Then I tried to simplify the model as much as possible. We optimized all of the areas that were used as little as possible. These are done in places that players rarely see or can't see. The impact on the screen is minimal."
In the rebellious Lulu Xiu, there are many scenes and patterns, and Huang Lei optimized his models one by one.
In the model, there is a concept of "face". Simply put, it can be understood as Steve in "Minecraft" and nano display in Crysis. The former is a six-sided hexahedron, and the latter is countless. People composed of curved surfaces.
Huang Lei and the others optimized the model in this respect.
Because the character itself is implemented using a 3D-like 2D screen, the resource usage is not large, but 2DLIVE is not a panacea. There are still many places where 3D is necessary. When the players can’t see it, add eight The face model becomes six faces, which can save resources.
"In terms of characters, we modified the display effect. In the long view, we used the 2Dlive technology developed by Xia Sen. Then when the player switches to the close view, or the screen performs real-time calculations, it switches to 3D.
This idea came to Huang Lei. He thinks his place is quite creative, so he took it out and told Morinya about it,
In the long view, there are more sceneries displayed on the screen, and the player himself is a very Consuming resources, I originally wanted to use gif pictures instead, but when gif pictures are called, clarity is a problem, and using the method of picture replacement, the characters' movements will be inconsistent, and when the screen is transferred, it will be full of irregularities. A sense of harmony, so I used 2DLive to smooth the entire movement of the character."
Huang Lei turned on his computer, and then gave a demonstration to Senxia. While demonstrating, he continued to say: "When switching to close-up, there are fewer objects in the screen, and the system can use more resources. At this time, we can The character becomes a 3D model again, and the player can watch it at close range. When cutting the mirror, the player will not notice the sense of violation."
When the picture is small, 2DLive can be fooled, but after the picture becomes larger, a small deformation can easily cause the picture to be distorted, so close-range switching to 3D is necessary.
"What about the character's expression?"
Character expression is a very important part.
In the future 3D-mainly referring to the group of people mainly based on Korean games-the place of importance ~EbookFREE.me~ is mostly the body and modeling of the characters. In their opinion, it seems that the facial expressions of the characters are all unimportant.
But Senxia's idea is not like this. He thinks whether the facial expression is vivid or not, this is a very necessary place-other places can be shrunk, only here, that is absolutely uncompromising.
And Morinka's point is also very reasonable, because he knows that there is a game manufacturer, they almost play the facial expressions of the characters. The name of this game manufacturer is called "Blizzard."
Yes, Senxia is here to participate in (mountain) test (zhai) my fine tradition of Blizzard...

The optimization process is based on consulting professionals' solutions. Non-data copying and pasting is feasible in reality. However, the wording may be a little inaccurate, so you don't need to care about these small problems OvO.
This is today’s update. This is a moral~ (to be continued.)
