During the Spring Festival, family reunion.

Xu Rui and Yi Qianqian took their daughter back to the Yi family in Jingping, and spent New Year's Eve with Yi Qianqian's parents and brothers.

After only resting at home for a few days, Xu Rui immediately devoted himself to work.

The production of the special episode from "From the Abyss" is coming to an end, and he has begun to prepare for a new animation.

As Li Ruoxuan and others said before, the story of the new animation is about animation production, but the simple original painting and animation process display are actually relatively boring, so the story will be unfolded from multiple aspects, including executive production, original painting, 3d, script, dubbing actors and other positions.

This is actually equivalent to a group show. The skills of screenwriters and directors are very strict. If you don’t grasp them well, it is easy to cause the plot to be scattered and have no focus. Or some characters become tool people, and their personality is unpredictable as the plot is.

Of course, Xu Rui doesn't have to worry about this, because there is actually an animation that portrays the industry while portraying many charming characters. He just needs to make some localization and modifications to improve them.

The scripts for the first three episodes were released soon, and Xu Rui spent almost most of the time during the Spring Festival holiday to revise the scripts and think about the storyline.

When I returned to Ningjiang, I suddenly had more work.

"Boss, this ecological niche should be fine."

The design department worked overtime around the Spring Festival to design the entire ecological structure of "Monster Hunter".

This is not just the design of monsters. In addition to large monsters, there are also small monsters, plants, and terrain. These are a whole and are inseparable.

For example, the map of Ancient Tree Forest has more than a dozen areas. Players walked out of the initial camp and saw a plain where some herbivorous creatures and low shrubs live, with rivers and shallows.

Continue to move forward and enter the dense forest with higher terrain, you can see small carnivores. Some large monsters in low ecological niches also live here. In humid places, mushrooms grow and you can see some herbivores that feed on mushrooms.

The closer you get to the center of the map, the higher the altitude, and the monsters appearing become stronger and stronger. Herbivores gradually disappear, replaced by carnivores, and some rare plants begin to appear.

Located at the top of an ancient tree is the nest of the fire dragon, which is the top of the ancient tree forest ecological niche.

In addition, the design team also designed the weather and time, day and night, morning and dusk, and the corresponding scenery is different, and even the appearance of monsters is related to these. The storm in ancient tree forests felt only ordinary heavy rain in the bottom area, but at the top, it could face thunder, which was quite impactful.

The entire map has a clear hierarchy, forming a complete ecological structure from plants, animals, and terrain. Even if this place really exists in a corner of the world, people will probably believe it.

Outside the ancient tree forest, a large desert area consists of ant nests as the main body. It was once the 6 coral highlands of the ocean. It is located below the 6 coral highlands, made up of monster corpses, a valley of miasma filled with harmful gases, and a place of dragon crystallization filled with ancient dragons and lava areas.

Currently, according to the initial idea of ​​Xu Rui and others, these five maps are planned.

Of course, the design department has many creative ideas, some ideas that cannot be adopted into existing maps, and are indeed good have not been abandoned, but have been collected and left to be activated in the future.

For example, the volcanic lava terrain corresponding to the Dragon Crystal Land naturally has snow-capped ice fields. Some people think that some areas with mixed terrain can be designed, but due to the production cycle, these designs are temporarily hidden, bsp;                                                                                              �

"It's pretty good, we can go to the next production stage."

After the design is basically completed, the artists' design and the construction of the underlying code. This process will last for several months, which is a long time-consuming process during production.

In the art design, Holofi will check the whole process. Monster design generally starts from three aspects: monsters that exist in reality, imagined fictional monsters, and monsters representing natural power.

For example, the mud fish and dragons that appear in the wasteland are inspiration drawn from loaches and can move freely in the water and in the mud, while the fire dragons are more like evil dragons in Western mythology. As for the ancient dragon monsters that appear in the later stage of the game, most of them can control the power of nature, such as storm and thunder, which are the incarnations of nature.

Due to the experience of many previous games, the art design led by Holofi has added many rough elements, scales, hairs, and ferocious monsters in the relatively realistic style, forming the main artistic style of "Monster Hunter".

While the game department is working in a intensive manner, there is also a group who is doing content that has nothing to do with Monster Hunter.

......

Ningjiang Beishan is located near the city center. Beishan is composed of the main peak and several secondary peaks. It is located at the top of the main peak. It is not a scenic spot, but an observatory.

Beishan Observatory is one of the most famous observatories in China. Five years ago, Beishan Observatory appeared and named it, which made its reputation widely circulated before ordinary people.

The head of the observatory is Dr. Chen, who graduated from Ningjiang University's major in astrophysics. He is only 40 years old this year and is still very young.

In February, just after the Lantern Festival, Dr. Chen drove to the observatory as always to prepare for work.

Although the observatory's work is to look at the stars, it is not just about looking at the stars. The institute usually has some topics. For the topic, each research group will get a certain time to use astronomical telescopes to observe the universe. In addition, calendars such as navigation and astronomical calendars also require observation support from the observatory.

Even without the research team, various astronomical telescopes in the observatory need to conduct routine observations of objects such as the sun.

Simple but extraordinary, this is Dr. Chen’s definition of his own work.

After saying hello to several students, Dr. Chen routinely checked the data recorded last night. Halfway through reading, he received a call.

"Um?"

The caller was the vice dean of the astrophysics major of Ningjiang University and Dr. Chen’s doctoral supervisor.

"Xiao Chen, are your observatory busy recently?"

The vice president exchanged greetings for a while and then expressed his purpose.

"That's right. I have a project here and needs the support of the observatory. See if you can help me pick it up."

“What project?”

Dr. Chen is confused. If it is a general graduate project, there is no need for the vice dean to call him in person. This sounds more like another project.

"Yeah, it's making a movie."

Hearing the words of the vice president, Dr. Chen became even more confused.
