The content of the third episode of "The Songhai Idol is a Legend" returns to the practice and daily life of traditional idols, mixed with naming idol groups, and finally a performance, along with the awakening of serious idols Li Ai and others.

"Roasted Xiuxiu" has become the name of this zombie girl idol group, making people feel indescribable weirdness.

For Han Qingwen, although the story of this episode inherits the nonsense of the previous ones, the real focus is on the final performance.

When he saw seven zombie girls dancing in the shadow of an abandoned factory chimney beside the empty road, Han Qingwen almost screamed in surprise.

Because all this dance was hand-painted.

Han Qingwen has seen many idol dances in 3D performances, which are not flexible enough and more rigid. After learning animation, he naturally knows how energy-consuming hand-drawn dance is, and he has not forced it.

But Fantasy electric animation did it.

In the four-minute performance plot, the fantasy electric animation uses hand-drawn throughout the whole process, and the number of paintings is extremely high, which is visible to the naked eye.

Not only that, the overall dance design is also clever, including the changes in the formation in the horizontal and vertical directions. It can be seen that it was carefully designed for open-air performances, which is completely different from the "home dance" with fixed lenses and dancing hands.

Although only one little girl witnessed the performance of several people in the animation, outside the screen, this performance was discussed by millions of people.

On Weibo, this performance was intercepted and spread as a short video, forming a very popular topic.

[Legendary Foodie]: I blew up this performance, and the idol animations in the past are really weak!

[A bowl of fried rice with eggs]: I have watched this passage ten times. The swaying of clothes and hair moving with the body. Every detail is so perfect. I announced that this year is the first year of Chinese idol animation!

[Big Up]: How did this animation be drawn? The serious original painting cannot achieve this level of precision. Could it be that 3D to 2D and motion capture? I remember that the game screen of "Breath of the Wild" is quite good 3D rendering 2D.

[Dumplings with vinegar]: It is impossible to be 3D motion capture. You will know after watching those 3D shootings. The actors wear tights and capture the movements by capturing points. There is no way to describe the movements of clothes and hair like this animation.

[Animation Marshal]: I think it should be a redirection, or at least referenced to the redirection curve, otherwise there would be no such exquisite picture.

[Yellow little mouse]: If you turn the picture, you feel that there is no technical content. Isn’t it just to turn the image into a line screen?

[lxt9]: Don’t underestimate the redirection. Even if you use redirection, you need powerful original drawing skills to accurately understand the role of inertia.

“What is a retelling?”

On Sunday morning, after breakfast, Li Xue casually browsed her Weibo. When she saw someone discussing the dance of the third episode of "Songhai Idol is a Legend", she asked Han Qingwen curiously.

"Well, this is simply to post the paper on the screen, then play the video, and draw the lines in the video in the image."

After watching that dance, Han Qingwen was shocked and savored it.

That is definitely not a 3D production, it is undoubtedly hand-drawn, but after someone mentioned it, Han Qingwen thought of the possibility of re-drawing.

Some sports animations often use this technique to capture the movements of athletes on real courts and use them as a game scene.

"That seems pretty easy?"

Li Xue thought about it and it seemed like painting, not too difficult.

"No, it's not that simple to turn the characters. For example, in the animation "The Idol of Songhai is a Zombie", many of the characters in it are actually not realistic in proportion. Like Lily's body shape, it is impossible to find in reality. If the figure of the actor and the character are different, it will be even more difficult to draw."

Han Qingwen recalled what Lin Shuyi mentioned when he was chatting with Wu Hongyan.

In sports animation, the body proportions are relatively realistic, the body shapes are not much different, and the difficulty of turning and drawing is very small. However, in this kind of dance, the body proportions of characters are not consistent, so it is much troublesome to turn and drawing. At least it cannot be copied simply, and it can only be used for reference.

"This is indeed hand-painted, perhaps with the use of redirection and drawing technology to assist in painting, but what it reflects is the real skill of the original artist."

Han Qingwen replied that in the afternoon, there was finally some movement on Weibo.

First of all, a number of original artists in the industry expressed their opinions. Among them, [The Shepherd in the Library] clearly stated that this was not 3D rendering, but hand-painting, and it is very likely that the redirection was used. And he also gave a few previous examples, saying that even if it was redirection, the quality of this dance was extremely high, no less than that of normal hand-painting.

Then, the official Weibo of Fantasy Electronic Animation spoke out, saying that this dance was indeed completed using the redirection technique, and also released a dance clip of the original line drawing photography.

In the clip, you can see that there is no coloring, only some line drawing instructions are performing smoothly with the music, which is no different from this animation.

This Weibo post ended the two-day quarrel.

The one who completed this performance was not 3D, but hand-worked paintings, which were wonderful performances completed by the original artist and the animator!

It was not until this time that many people suddenly came to their senses. Although the performances in the previous two episodes were not serious, they were all hand-painted!

Does Fantasy Anime really plan to keep all the performance parts of this idol animation hand-painted?

This is of course a good thing for the audience. The fine hand-painted paintings look obviously better than the rigid 3D.

But it's not that comfortable for people in the animation industry.

Ningjiang Animation Salted Fish Clues, on a rare Sunday, the group did not silence, but instead discussed it in full swing.

[Sand Sculpture Group Member No. 9]: Damn, Xu Rui took the lives of other companies. No company dares to do idol animation in the future. If you do another 3D performance, you will not be criticized by the audience.

[Anime is dead end]: It is difficult to deal with. Originally, 3D is just a cost-saving, and everyone is doing it. Now Fantasy is really raising the threshold for idol animation with its own strength to the point where ordinary companies cannot afford it.

[Bone]: I think it's good, so as not to make shoddy idol animations make the audience think that this kind of animation is like this. Fantasy electric energy hand-painted, and other companies can also hand-painted it.

[Dogs can only fish]: It is difficult. Our company originally planned to follow the trend and do an idol animation this year. However, after doing this, the entire project was beaten back and re-evaluated. I feel that it will be difficult to do idol animation in the future.

[Your group of mascots]: Oh, you said, Xu Rui doesn’t have an idol group and doesn’t have any linkage plan, so how can he create such high-quality animations? What are he doing?
