Chapter 107: Just Take Pictures to Create Comics

On March 2nd, at Pengcheng High-speed Railway Station, Tang Xin led a team to visit Haotian Technology as agreed. There were 18 people in the tour group, which was different from the original expectation. Yaozhai Literature Club only came to Tang Xin, Cailing and Guang Uncle Ling, the remaining people come from all over the country, belonging to a forum organization called Cultural and Creative Freedom, and the leader is an uncle named Du Feng.

Wu Hao rented a high-end business bus to take everyone to the hotel where he was staying.

The visit lasted for 3 days. On the first day, everyone was arranged to experience the comic production process at the Haotian Technology headquarters, on the second day to experience the 3D virtual interactive scene at the Smo Pizza Restaurant, and a cultural and creative industry seminar was held on the last day.

After a brief packing, everyone left the hotel and followed Wu Hao to the Haotian Technology headquarters.

At this time, Haotian Technology is already a medium-sized enterprise with 700 or 800 employees. The company is mainly composed of developers. Everyone is very focused at work. The entire office area is very quiet. The visiting group walked around the company, but there was no An employee looked up at them.

After visiting the office area, Du Feng said with emotion: “Mr. Wu, your company is so special. Every employee is serious about doing things. They don’t even look up when they see strangers. They are really too focused. If you write novels in this environment, , Daily 4D can definitely be done easily.”

“Boss Du Feng, Haotian Technology is a partnership system. All the bosses you saw just now are all working hard to make money for themselves.”

“No wonder!” Du Feng suddenly realized, and then thoughtfully, when he was about to leave the office area, he asked, “Mr. Wu, take the liberty to ask a question, how many shares do you have in Haotian Technology? This time a thousand comics. Is the plan authorized by the company? How do I feel that people in the company don’t care much about the plan!”

Wu Hao explained with a smile: “Boss Du Feng is really observant! … Haotian Technology is just a platform for project services, which belongs to my sole proprietorship. The company currently has 42 projects under research, and 3D virtual interactive scenes are just one of them. 1. This project is funded by myself, and the decision-making power belongs to me. The entire project team has more than 30 developers and support staff. The office area is not on this floor. I will take you there later.”

“Oh… it turned out to be like this, Mr. Wu, your Haotian technology is really special, and it feels like a…project incubator!”

“Yes, it is a project incubator, so that everyone can realize their dreams on this platform!”

“Mr. Wu, you are an entrepreneur with an ideal color. You are rarely seen in this cruel mall.”

“Hehe… Isn’t it good to be a cute and happy person?”

“Hahahaha… Wu always has a realm!”

During the chat and laughter, Wu Hao led the visiting group to the 3D virtual interactive scene test area, where the visiting group was warmly welcomed by the project team members.

Previously, due to the booming business of 3D virtual interactive scenes, with the help of project resources, the model library and scene library were enriched, and 8 themed scenes including urban, fantasy, sci-fi, antiquity, and universe were developed. Each theme scene has 3 to Four different styles of sub-scenes can be selected, and matching dolls, cute pets, monsters, spaceships and other models have been created. There is already room for selection in the resources of making comics.

After the previous data accumulation, the intelligent scene generation system is gradually improving. For many newly-built scene models, you only need to select the picture style, and the AI ​​program can automatically complete the various tasks before rendering. The results will be reviewed by Zihan. It can be stored for use, saving a lot of manpower.

The most time-consuming thing is to render scenes. Because the amount of rendered data is large, each scene takes half a month to complete before going online. Fortunately, Wu Hao rents a large number of servers and can support 5 scenes for rendering at the same time. Did not slow down the progress of the entire project team.

After the Spring Festival holiday, Wu Hao took Cao Yongliang and his wife to inspect the house, signed the purchase contract, and paid the deposit. Cao Yongliang worked harder and took Wang Hao and the others to complete the small program for making comics in just one week. After being optimized by Wu Hao’s mysterious test team, it ushered in its debut today.

Cheng Zihan formally signed a contract to join the 3D virtual interactive scene project team. She found two friends who are manga editors and set up an animation team. They are practicing using software, familiar with the workflow, and guiding writers to create animation products for the next step. Prepare.

After a brief welcome ceremony, Wu Hao announced: “Next, let’s experience the process of making novels and comics.”

As the project leader, Cao Yongliang brought everyone to the front of a 65-inch flat-screen TV.

Before that, Tang Xin provided a 300,000-character novella she created, which was adapted into a script and specific storytelling with the help of a comic editor.

According to the character setting of the script, a recommended list of character images is provided. Tang Xin selects the character image in her mind from the list, and then communicates with the editor to fine-tune the details of the unsatisfied character image until he is satisfied. As a result, the whole process only took more than an hour.

The boss of Du Feng watched silently, until Tang Xin finished setting up all the characters, he said: “This software is similar to how we set the game properties, except for the refinement part, the other can be done by the author himself.”

“It’s really not difficult to operate.” Tang Xin replied. After thinking about it for a while, he continued, “There are many models available in the software, and you can also refine them according to the plot. This is very rare. The software for making comics for free is available. There are several models on the market, but none of them can do this.”

“Indeed, the precision of the model is also very high!”

“A lot of software is actually charged, and there are only a few free models, which are not enough.”

“…”

The members of the visiting group discussed below and gave praise to this software one after another.

“Mr. Wu, please confirm one thing with you. If you need to add a new model to the software, do you need to charge for it?” Du Feng asked a very critical question for everyone.

Wu Hao explained: “After signing a cooperation agreement with us, the models in the model library can be used for free. If you feel that the model is not realistic enough and you need to add a new model, you must customize it. This part requires a fee. But this customized model It belongs to the author. If others want to use it, they need to pay the original creator. In the later stage, we will have a model trading platform to attract more professionals and make more professional models.”

“Oh I got it.”

Hearing that there are charged items, everyone is silent. Of course, it is good to adapt your own work into anime, but if the price is too expensive, you can’t afford it.

“In fact, everyone can rest assured that we are constantly enriching the model library and scene library. Unless it is a special need, generally speaking, you will not be asked to pay for comics after signing the contract.”

Hearing the assurance given by Wu Hao, everyone was noncommittal. After all, many things had to be actually tried before they knew whether they were good or not.

“Next, start making comics… Old classmate, you come to play the protagonist, and the rest of the characters are also troublesome!”

Hearing Wu Hao’s request, Tang Xin was stunned, and asked, “I’m here to act?… The comics came from the show?”

“Yes, you enter the scene, act according to the script, and the system generates comics by taking pictures. It’s that simple.”

“Huh?…A comic from the show?” Everyone was dumbfounded.
