LINK AND RESEARCH OF GAME SCENE DESIGN
AND REAL SCENE
My project is to create a 3D game scene modeling based on the famous Chinese literary work 《The Lost Tomb》.When I first looked for the direction of games, I found that I was very interested in the scene design in many types of games, and my undergraduate major was also in environmental design.
Undergraduate modeling work
Why choose this IP? 《The Lost Tomb》 is an adventure novel written by the writer NanPai Sanshu. It has a large number of readers in China, including me. It tells the story of the three protagonists exploring various tombs to find the truth. The various scenes in the book are fascinating, and I often have the impulse to really see these scenes. According to my investigation, the setting of "exploring treasure, solving cultural puzzles" based on Chinese history has not been developed into a game. Therefore, what I want to do is to design the scenes in the book, which can not only satisfy the yearning of readers, but also let more people who have not read the book know about the Chinese "traditional profession" and architectural style, the unique humanities and landforms of China. Compared with the simple scene painting, the scene design of the game is different from the traditional scene description and design environment, and it is a dynamic scene effect. It requires the designer to be innovative and unique, reasonable. Therefore, the designed scene should make a specific and comprehensive analysis of each link of the characters' activities, so that the final results will have a strong sense of spatial art. In pursuit of the beauty of the camera, we should also pay attention to the scene design of game animation, according to the environment, design the corresponding scene. To choose the right scene, Angle and visual effects, to ensure that the game animation scene is comfortable and natural, vivid.
In the design of virtual scenes, I think that whether it is games or animation, the design of these virtual scenes must be "credible" under the premise of creativity, that is, to follow the characteristics of real scenes, and create on this basis. The movie 《The Lord of the Rings》 is a good example. In the book, the ancient capital of mankind, is depicted as a magnificent and magnificent castle. On the walls stood several high towers and fortresses, symbolizing the power and rule of the Highland Kingdom. The whole castle is built in white stone, making it shine in the sun, giving a solemn and spectacular feeling. The film team's conceptual understanding and design depiction of the building are equally full of visual shock, showing the magnificence and solemnity of the castle through exquisite special effects and architectural details.
• Minas·Tilis
The scene of the ancient capital in the movie《Lord of the Rings》
Located in Wellington Mount Victoria provides important scene, it mainly reference from the Roman style characterized by narrow half arch architectural style, using a large number of "Lombardy zone" for decoration, with dome structure and towers, and both western Rome and Byzantine architectural form, emphasize heavy, severe, solid feeling, with the theme of white color, form the overall feeling of holy majesty.
Movies and realistic Lombardy belt examples
The main hall is almost entirely of a Roman church structure, with standard scattered facades with semicircular towers and circular arches, the same diagonal cut gate as the first floor. Inside and outside the hall are the standard Corinthian column (shao hua shape, vortex, oval). The interior is divided into bamboo nave and two side halls, and the vault of the apave is decorated with mosaics. The color matches with Charlemagne Church.
The Corinthian pillar architecture
The whole castle is an impressive blend of the characteristics of ancient medieval castles and the fantasy elements of the magical world.
For example, the Hobbit cave in the movies like 《The Lord of the Rings》 and 《the Hobbit》
The location is located in 501 Buckland Rd, Hinuera, Matamata 3472, New Zealand Hobbiton Movie Set;
• Mount Doom
Tongariro National Park
Located in State Highway 48, National Park Village, Tongariro National Park is New Zealand's oldest national park, known for its volcanic landscape. In 《The Lord of the Rings》, this is the main location for the Mount Doom. The volcanic activity, lava flows and desolate scenery in the park perfectly present Tolkien's Doom.
l 《The Black Myth of the Goku》
Recently, with the popularity of the Chinese game 《The Black Myth Wukong》, the exquisite scenes have attracted the attention of countless people, which learn from traditional Chinese architecture and characteristic scenery. For example, in the game, when Wukong fights Kang Jinlong, the prototype of the ancient Lei Temple in the distance is the Guanyin Pavilion of Dule Temple built in Ji County, Tianjin Province, China in the Liao Dynasty.

In terms of details, the production team also borrowed and integrated many characteristics of ancient Chinese architecture.

I to 《The black myth of the wu is empty》 art production team leader, from China academy of fine arts professor Yang Qi interview research, found that they to the accuracy of the scene, across the country the field scanning ancient buildings to the great creation of excellent traditional culture and historical embedded game each scene, small to an inscription a humble kettle may have a source.
Although some of the buildings in the game do not exactly conform to the structure of ancient architecture, their combination of fantasy and historical expression becomes more consistent with the description of the original "monster dwelling".
So I think in the design of game scenes, reality is important, but imagination is also indispensable.
In addition, in addition to the inherent scene, I think the design of the game scene also needs to add atmosphere and color harmony.
In the book 《Architecture and Level Design》, I once mentioned the term of “giant structure”. What is a “giant structure”? First of all, people are the scale of all things, and people usually have a clear understanding of the level of meters and meters, while the construction beyond a certain scale will bring indescribable fear. The huge buildings, such as pyramids, often bring a sense of rule and conquest; The Real Lucaya Academy in the game 《Elden Ring - Giant Architecture》shows more Gothic architecture, so the overall style will be tall and thin, showing a strong emotion of mystery, pathos and nobility. The interior is primarily academic and religious, with the layout of the Basilica's main halls and side aisles displaying a typical Basilica spatial feature, while the soaring ceiling reflects pure rationality. In my opinion, the use of architectural shape and style to show the atmosphere to be created by the scene can also be used for reference.
Similarly, in the scene design, the use of color can also play a great help.
First, it can construct spatial perception. In the game, the nearby grass, road and other objects bright and clear color, the distant scenery such as mountains, rivers will appear more gray. This is because color has the law of perspective change, which exists in the subconscious of the viewer, even if not clearly tell the cause of perception, it can indeed feel this change. Therefore, the color design gives the game a basic sense of space, making the game screen from the plane to three-dimensional. Of course, if you want to break through this law, you can innovate on the premise of following the basic law, so that the color changes of temperature and shade and light are reversed. ([1] Liang Jinghong. Liang Jinghong on color design law [M]. Beijing: People's Post and Telecommunications Publishing House, 2015, (13): 15-20.)
The use of colors can also create a game orientation. During the course of the game, the aggregation and dispersion of colors will guide the player's sight to indicate their own position, and highlight them to guide them into the next stage. Some games will use a lot of unsaturated gray and black to create an oppressive atmosphere, when the player will naturally move in the bright direction; if the dark, daunting color collocation and warmth, bright colors are used together to guide the direction, the player will obviously move in the bright direction, this tendency is caused by the biological effect. An example of a biological effect is that when the viewer sees red, the red light focuses behind the retina, which forces the lens to become more prominent, thereby stretching the viewer's visual center forward. This may explain why colors such as warm colors (such as blue) will give the impression of progress. This way of color design can be used in games to distinguish its important environment and content.

After some research process, I enriched my design with the description of the scene in the book Notes on 《The Lost Tomb》 based on my gained experience.
For example, the Zhang Jia Ancient Building, which appears many times in the book, is located in the city of Banay in western China, so my design should combine the local characteristics. Book zhongyuan sentence is: " the neighborhood is all mountains, Guangxi mountain mountains, hundreds of kilometers of mountains into an area of more than five million mu of forest, the center is hundreds of thousands of acres of primitive jungle areas, mountains, forests, waterfall streams, is said to be the cave, is a group of fairy gathering. There are also the mysterious creature —— Miluo hidden in the hinterland of ten thousand mountains, surrounded by mountains and filled with fog, as well as the ancient Yao villages and the bottom of the lake."So I first drew a sketch:
For the specific shape of the building, I did a research on the local actualbuilding
Photo of the Potala Palace
The Tibetan characteristic building: The White Pagoda
White tower of wisdom, from the Lamaism, named for the tower body daub white ash, is one of the places of Tibetan Buddhism practice, worship, can put the relics of sages, living Buddha ashes or remains, can also put the grains, and sacred scriptures, has a deeper meaning and symbol, is the symbol of Buddhist spiritual purification and blessing. The white pagoda is built by temples and also built by the villagers themselves. The white pagoda is usually built where Tibetans gather. The Tibetans often turn sutras around the White Pagoda to pray for the protection and protection of the gods. The White Pagoda in Tibet symbolizes longevity and the protection of the people, indicating that the Dharma shines on the earth like the sun and the moon, shining on the earth forever.
After consulting the information, I enriched the design：
For the description of an important part of the book —— Motuo County, I drew some scenes based on research.
"There is only one county in Motuo. Motuo county is all in the world.”
On the way to Motuo County, the road near the Galongla Tunnel is still white with snow. But over the Garunla Mountain, all green, completely another world. The vegetation flourish and the river flows.
That is the description in the book.
The Tibetan culture has a very traditional symbol: prayer flags
The prayer flags photo
Tibet is the most sunny and religious place. A large number of Tibetan people have gathered here for generations. Architecture, religion and culture are deeply influenced by Tibetan culture. The origin of prayer flags: according to legend, the Buddha sat under the bodhi tree, holding the scriptures with his eyes closed, and suddenly a strong wind blew away the scriptures in the hands of the Buddha. They were broken into thousands of pieces under the action of the wind, and were brought by the wind to the hands of the toiling people around the world. Those who get the fragments of the scriptures are happy. In order to thank the Buddha for his gift, people made triangles out of colored cloth, printed with scriptures and Buddha statues, hanging in the place where the wind blew, to eliminate disasters and pray, bless peace. Therefore, in various mountain roads, waterways, temples and people's homes in Tibetan areas, small flags with strings of scriptures can be seen everywhere tied on ropes, hanging the meaning of hanging prayer flags: dancing in the wind is to recite sutras once, constantly convey people's wishes to the gods, pray for good luck and eliminate disaster.
According to the description in the book, to county first through the iceberg, and then see the river, combine the two, according to the data and photos, I can create a new environment, mountains, water and flags are the real world, but the real scenery is mostly near far shallow, such arrangement seems to conform to common sense, but in the game scene, can guide people to the flags rather than across it to the distance.
The five colors of the Tibetan prayer flags represent the five phenomena in nature.
l "Yellow" represents "the noble temperament of the earth and the royal family"
l "Blue" represents "blue sky, power and Diamond Bodhisattva"
l "Red" represents "The Sun, Mercy and Guanyin Bodhisattva"
l "White" represents "white clouds and purity"
l "Green" represents the "jungle, wisdom and Manjusri Bodhisattva"
When the world is peaceful and prosperous, the world is peaceful and peaceful, peaceful and peaceful. People living on the plateau for generations are more sensitive to changes in nature. Hope for peace and happiness in the world first should hope that nature without disaster, so we use five different colors of prayer flags on the prayer flags to express this psychological support.
So the use of color is also particularly important.
