【難分真與假】Unreal Engine出新工具 任何人都能幾分鐘內製造逼真人物 近呢廿年嚟遊戲製作發展一日千里，仲記得當年打機都係玩緊2D像素畫面，見到有個公仔郁下郁下已經覺得非常過癮。最近由Epic Games開發嘅遊戲引擎「Unreal Engine」出咗新工具「MetaHuman Creator」，聲稱任可人都可以喺幾分鐘入面創造出超逼真角色。雖然如果大家唔係做個範都應該無咩需要用到，但都可以睇下依家啲遊戲製作技術可以整到幾逼真。 據官方介紹，「MetaHuman Creator」可以同運動捕捉及動畫技術結合使用，從而製作出逼真人物角色，應用於遊戲、電影及劇集上。 從示範影片可以見到，喺「MetaHuman Creator」按幾個制就可以修改角色髮型、膚色、體形等，對遊戲開發者嚟講絕對方便咗唔少。但對一般人而言，見到啲角色無論講野定係眨眼都非常自然，令人好期待日後嘅遊戲可以帶嚟更「真」嘅體驗，如果可以用埋VR眼鏡玩就更正。 資料來源：The Verge、Unreal Engine #UnrealEngine #game

- Chroma: A Derek Jarman Project 色度：賈曼計畫 Techno Love: Life of Derek Jarman Shuttling through Time and Space with Colours An Alternative Audio Narrative In the 1980’s, prior to his death in 1994, British filmmaker Derek Jarman was losing his sight and constantly suffered from AIDS-related complications. Haunted by the expected death, Jarman began to envisage an AI metahuman immune to all mortal illnesses, plus a biodiverse utopia, a brave new world for Sons of Jarman. Following in the spiritual and creative footsteps of Jarman’s last movie, Blue, the making of Chroma: A Derek Jarman Project is attempted at re-associating colours with gay identities, personal memories and queer culture. Also, Chroma exploits the convention of the narrative of the audio theatre to re-invent the way of seeing when one gradually loses his eyesight. Meanwhile, the way future was imagined and looked at back in the 70’s and the 80’s has now been recoded with new technology. The external conflicts of the gays versus the straights, and of the mainstream versus the marginal, too, have now become a tempest in the teacup: a newly launched war more about labelling, oppression, and contradictions among the gays. —— A Taiwan Sound Lab Production 台灣聲響實驗室 製作 Playwright —— Chen U-Lai Director —— Baboo Liao Sound design —— Lin Ge-Wei VR & set design —— Chang Hui-Ming VR video artist —— Huang Yu-Jie Vocal —— Wang Chao-Yang Stage manager —— Chen Chao-Chun Sound technician —— Taiwan Sound Lab Translation —— Sean Yeh —— 3D modeling by Mark Chang Graphic design by Aaron Nieh #babooliao #aaronnieh #markchang #chroma #derekjarman #taiwansoundlab #soundart #performance #vr #cyber #internet #cyberart #firewall #digitalarchive #acidgraphix #metal #plastic #techno #offlimits #outoforder #futuristic #chrometype
