Chapter 133 Grand View Garden
Xie Mingzhe made the card until 1:30 in the morning before going to bed.
In the dream, the Twelve Beauties of Jinling and Jia Baoyu he made all appeared in the Grand View Garden, recreating many classic scenes in "Dream of Red Mansions". Those vivid characters seemed to be real, which made Xie Mingzhe wake up the next morning and think that he had watched the TV series of Red Mansions again.
The Grand View Garden is a luxurious residence built by the Jia family to welcome the Queen Yuanchun home to visit her relatives. Most of the stories of the Dream of the Red Chamber happen in the Grand View Garden, where Jia Baoyu and several girls of the Twelve Beauties live. The young children recite poems, paint, play the piano and drink tea here every day, just like living in a paradise far away from disputes, living a carefree, poetic and picturesque life.
However, the Grand View Garden seems to be far away from the world, but it cannot escape the influence of the family's fate. The four major families have gone from prosperity to decline, and the atmosphere of the Grand View Garden has also changed from joy to sorrow. This process of change closely revolves around the main line of the story - when it comes to Dream of Red Mansions, the first scene that comes to mind is naturally the Grand View Garden.
As early as when he was making the 12 Beauties of Jinling, Xie Mingzhe thought about turning the Grand View Garden into a scene card.
However, the scene of the Grand View Garden is too large and too complicated. Just make a yard and named it "Da Guanyuan", which is a blasphemy to the original work. However, if you want to completely reproduce the grand scene of the Grand View Garden, it is not simply a painting or two.
Xie Mingzhe has never mentioned this scene card before because he hasn't figured out how to draw it.
However, during the game yesterday, I saw the butterfly illusion chosen by Ye Zhu and the mist forest chosen by Xu Changfeng. These complex battle maps gave him great inspiration. In addition, the fragmented events reappeared in his dream last night, which made Xie Mingzhe suddenly think of a wonderful idea.
Since the entire Grand View Garden is too complex and huge, it is impossible to make a battle map, why not make the big map into a series of exploded maps? Cards can be used as decks, and scene cards can also be used as sets of cards!
He can draw the places where the main characters in the Red Chamber live as a scene card. Then splice all the small yards with aisles, green plants, ponds and other exteriors into a complete "Grand View Garden" map. This is just like when making complex cards, first draw the body, weapons and other parts separately, and then fusion of various parts.
In the future, when playing games, you can select one of the courtyards from the Grand View Garden as the competition scene. In this way, it will not only fully present the magnificence and luxury of the Grand View Garden, but also allow players who are reborn to choose more maps.
Thinking of this idea, Xie Mingzhe immediately took Guangming and began to carefully recall the residence of everyone in the Red Chamber, taking key notes while recalling.
In the Grand View Garden, the place where Jia Baoyu lives is called "Yihongyuan". It is surrounded by pink walls, surrounded by willows, and there is a rockery in the courtyard. The plaque is written with the words "Yihong Kuai Green" written by Yuanchun. Yihongyuan is magnificent and elegant, like a gentle and noble young man. Such a residence is also very suitable for Jia Baoyu's identity.
Facing each other from Yihong Courtyard is Lin Daiyu's "Xiaoxiang Pavilion". Daiyu's residence style is completely different. It is surrounded by green bamboos, and a clear spring flows under the bamboo. The Xiaoxiang Pavilion lacks the luxury of famous nobles, but it is more quiet and elegant, which is more in line with Lin Daimei's noble and arrogant personality. The "Hengwu Garden" where Xue Baochai lives is full of fragrance. The yard is full of flowers, and there are many vines growing up around the rocks, looking vigorous and full of vitality.
Tanchun's "Qiu Shuangzhai", welcoming the spring "Zi Lingzhou", Xichun's "Ou Xiangxie", Li Wan's "Daoxiang Village", Miaoyu's "Yangcui Temple"... Each residence is closely related to the fate of the owner.
The original work focuses on depicting the residences of Bao, Dai and Chai, so Xie Mingzhe is deeply impressed by Yihongyuan, Xiaoxiang Pavilion and Hengwuyuan. However, the residence environment of others is mostly just a description, and Xie Mingzhe can only make some environment settings based on the owner's personality and vague memories.
For example, Qiushuangzhai planted a lot of banana trees and sycamore trees, which has a clear and refreshing atmosphere and a free and easy atmosphere on the moonlit night, which is in line with Tanchun's clean and neat style of doing things. The lotus scent is built by the pond, surrounded by lotus flowers, and the corridors flow, which has the elegant charm of Jiangnan gardens. The Changcui Temple is a temple where Miaoyu leads her hair to practice. The place where monks live is very simple, with blue bricks and white walls, everything is simple.
Xie Mingzhe tried his best to set the environment of each yard and drew a few sketches according to his mind's idea. Just a few sketches of a few small yards, he had not finished drawing them for a whole day, and his head was about to explode.
The painting scene is indeed his weakness. How to improve it needs Qin Xuan to help him.
Xie Mingzhe sent a message to Qin Xuan and Yu Ke to take the time to come over. They came to the studio together after school that night.
When Yu Ke saw Xie Mingzhe, he ran over excitedly and asked, "Azhe, you fought with the players of Fenghua Team 2 before, how did you end up? Did you win or lose?"
Xie Mingzhe raised three fingers and said with a smile: "Three consecutive victories."
In front of his senior brother, he was embarrassed to be too proud and had to put on an attitude of "I am very humble" and "I must study hard", so that his senior brother would let him continue to follow the Fenghua Team 2 people.
But in front of the simple Xiao Ke, Xie Mingzhe could not suppress the joy in his heart. After all, he was fighting against professional players, and it was not that easy to win three consecutive victories. He has made great progress during this period and wants to prove his strength in front of his teammates.
Yu Ke stared at her eyes in disbelief: "Okay, so awesome! Have you really won three games in a row?"
Xie Mingzhe smiled and said, "Yes, they were embarrassed to play with me after winning three games in a row. It is said that the girl who lost to me, went back to have a nightmare after the game, dreaming that she was persuaded by Qin Keqing to hang herself."
Yu Ke: "..."
I wanted to praise him a few words, but when he heard this, Yu Ke's praise suddenly swallowed it back into his stomach - he thought that he had a nightmare after the game with Xie Mingzhe and dreamed of Wang Xifeng's hahaha laughter, he really didn't want to praise him anymore.
Yu Ke felt a little sympathetic to the girl who had nightmares, ignored Xie Mingzhe, turned around to find Qin Xuan, and said excitedly: "Qin Xuan, have you brought the scene picture you made? Let's show it to everyone!"
Xie Mingzhe was puzzled: "What scene picture?"
Qin Xuan explained: "It's the second scene card of the 3D model of the Vampire Castle."
Xie Mingzhe remembered that the vampire castle that Qin Xuan mentioned was the dark map he displayed at the art exhibition. He decided to change it to a scene card and gave it to Xiao Ke for use. He only wrote a sketch before, but he didn't expect it to be made into a 3D model so soon.
Just as Chen Qianlin came down from the building, Xie Mingzhe immediately put away his smile, put on a good apprentice who was studying seriously, walked over and said, "Master, come and sit down, Qin Xuan brought a new scene card here!"
Chen Qianlin nodded and came to the dining table with his younger brother Chen Xiao.
When everyone arrived, Qin Xuan turned on the holographic projection screen and played the 3D scene card demonstration diagram he made from scratch.
Unlike the entire map of "Blood Pool Hell", the setting of this "Blood-sucking Castle" is that every once in a while, the black crows cover the sky and block the sun, blocking the already light moonlight, causing the entire scene to fall into complete darkness.
Yu Ke is good at assassination. He can take advantage of the moment when the crows fly by to find the position of the opponent's card in advance and send out ghost cards such as Nie Xiaoqian and Hei Wuchang with teleportation skills to kill their opponents unexpectedly in the darkness.
This is the scene creativity proposed by Qin Xuan himself. Xie Mingzhe, Chen Qianlin and Chen Xiao all think it is very good.
Yu Ke liked it so much that he sent a good person card to Qin Xuan: "Qin Xuan, you are so nice, and I made another map for me! I like this map very much. I will definitely practice it well. I often use it when playing individual competitions in the future!"
Qin Xuan was embarrassed to be praised and coughed lightly, "Draw whatever you want. Just like you like it."
Since Qin Xuan brought the second scene card today, Xie Mingzhe happened to discuss the scene design of the Grand View Garden with him. Xie Mingzhe took out a stack of paper, lined up the dining table, and used his light brain to project all the pictures on the holographic screen so that everyone could see more clearly.
Everyone was surprised to see so many draft pictures.
Yu Ke asked quickly and asked directly: "What are these?"
Xie Mingzhe said: "I will draw a few sketches for you to see the next scene."
When everyone looked carefully, it was true that it was all about the scene composition - Yihongyuan with red walls and green willows, Xiaoxiang Pavilion surrounded by green bamboos, Hengwu Garden full of flowers, Ouxiangxiu, located by the pond, etc., are all scenes named in three characters.
Qin Xuan said in confusion: "So many yards? Are the scenes a little repetitive?"
There are many battle maps for courtyards and official galleries, such as libraries, botanical gardens, zoos, playgrounds, etc. No matter how innovative the environment is, they are actually one type in essence - obstacle maps.
For example, the tables and chairs in the library scene and the various amusement facilities in the amusement park, when playing games, the card illusion needs to be avoided by these obstacles. For professional players, the playing styles of all obstacle charts are similar. As long as the card movement is coordinated and the distance between the cards between the two sides is controlled, the skills will still be put.
But Xie Mingzhe did not want to make the Grand View Garden series a traditional obstacle picture.
He had a very interesting idea - he wanted to make the scene card of the Grand View Garden into an "event scene".
Thinking of this, Xie Mingzhe pointed to these sketches and said: "This series of pictures is all a big scene called the 'Grand View Garden'. Such a large scene will be too complicated to make a game map. The cards can't be found even if they are hidden. They become hide-and-seek games. The official will definitely not pass the review, so I broke the big scene into many small scenes."
Chen Qianlin quickly understood what his apprentice meant and said, "It's like dividing a big park into many different corners, and taking it out to play the game alone?"
Xie Mingzhe nodded vigorously: "That's right, right!"
Chen Qianlin said: "The Fenghua Club once made such a large scene map. It was a large forest scene designed by your senior brother, including the fog area, swamp area, trap area, jungle area, flower bed area, vine area, etc. He broke a large forest into more than a dozen scene cards with different effects. The final combination of forest scenes is very grand, but each battle map has its own characteristics."
Xie Mingzhe was stunned. It turned out that his senior brother had proposed such a design, and he was really in tune with each other. He couldn't help but smile and said, "I think so too, and make every small courtyard in the Grand View Garden into different scene effects."
He took out a draft picture of Xiaoxiang Pavilion from the table and said, "For example, Xiaoxiang Pavilion is Lin Daiyu's residence. In this scene, I want to set an event of "Lin Daiyu's tears are gone". When the event occurs, all the cards in the scene will fall into a state of sadness, and their defense will automatically decrease, which is equivalent to a negative effect scene card that reduces defense."
Chen Xiao nodded in appreciation when he heard this: "This idea is very good. It is a random event scene card. Both parties will participate in the scene events during the game. It is fair to both parties and should be able to pass the league review. Under what circumstances is the event triggered, and have you thought about how to design it?"
The key to designing a scene card is fairness. All cards must be affected by the scene effect and cannot be favored by the other. Moreover, when playing, since the first step is to select the scene, when different scenes appear, players can also adjust their decks according to the scene.
Chen Qianlin suggested: "You can do this. When one of the players on the field has more than 4 cards killed in battle, the event will be triggered. Single player 7v7, and the 4 cards are usually killed in the later stage. At this time, the group will be reduced by 80%. The disadvantaged party can find an opportunity to fight back, and the advantaged party can also take the opportunity to harvest."
Xie Mingzhe only provides creativity and checks specific data, so his master is obviously more professional.
As long as one party has more than 4 cards killed, the Xiaoxiang Pavilion triggers the event "Lin Daiyu's tears are gone", and all cards in the whole scene fall into a state of sadness, and automatically reduce the defense by 80%. Cards with only 20% of the defense are easily killed. During the game, players on both sides must not only pay close attention to the card skills, but also pay attention to the scene events. Once the event is triggered, they must respond as quickly as possible.
This kind of event scene card is a great test for the players' awareness.
Xie Mingzhe became more and more excited the more he thought about it. He then pointed to the draft of the scene card of "Yangcui'an" and said: "Yangcui'an, this is Miaoyu's residence. A scene event of 'making tea' can be set up, which can be triggered every once in a while, so that a batch of new teas made by Miaoyu can appear in the scene. All cards in the venue can return blood by contacting tea, but the amount of tea is limited and it needs to be competed for."
Yu Ke's eyes lit up: "In this way, this scene card becomes a map with blood recovery effect, triggering a blood recovery event every once in a while. You can use the scene to recover blood to save your life when playing games!"
Chen Xiao nodded in agreement: "Yes, with the scene recovering, the cards will be difficult to kill."
Chen Qianlin said: "If it is a limited number of tea cups, it can be designed into four, which are located in different positions in the southeast, west and north, respectively, which is equivalent to four blood recovery banks, allowing players on both sides to adjust the movement of the cards to compete."
"Master said it makes sense, so the game will be more interesting!" Xie Mingzhe followed and pointed to the sketch of Hengwuyuan and said, "Hengwuyuan is full of flowers. I want to make it an illusion control card. Every once in a while, the fragrance of flowers floats in the air. All cards in the scene are trapped in the illusion of the sea of flowers, and I can't see the real scene in front of me."
"This kind of hallucination scene is usually triggered every 3 minutes to 5 minutes." Chen Qianlin suggested, "The specific time can be set to 3 minutes first, and then modified later. Qin Xuan, please remember it."
"Well, I've been taking notes." Qin Xuan listened, while carefully remembering his ideas and suggestions in his mind.
"Thank you for your hard work!" Xie Mingzhe coughed and cleared his throat, and then said, "Qiu Shuangzhai is full of sycamore trees and bananas. I want to make it a rainy picture. Listen to the rain on the moonlit night, and the rain hits bananas. It rained all the scene. After all the cards were wet, the group attack speed decreased."
"This is great! Many players in the league who have attack speed will definitely hate your rain scene picture." Yu Ke rubbed his hands excitedly and said, "What about Zi Lingzhou? How to design it?"
Zilingzhou is the residence of Yingchun. After she was forced to marry, she was idle here after her father forced her to get married. There was a description in the original work that Baoyu often wandered around Zilingzhou, and saw only a few old women left here. The windows were lonely and the flowers and plants on the shore were chaotic, unlike other places. The scene in Zilingzhou was full of loneliness and loneliness, which seemed to indicate the tragic fate of the owner after getting married.
Xie Mingzhe thought for a while and said, "This picture, Qin Xuan, you should draw as desolate as possible when you draw it. Design it as a silent map. Every once in a while, trigger the silence of the entire map, so that neither side can exert their skills."
This is convenient for the performance of the normal attack stream that does not take skills. However, the maps are all double-edged swords. As long as you grasp the silence time of the map, you can also regard the silence of the entire map as a forced group control that cannot be removed and avoid the opponent's key skills.
Xie Mingzhe followed: "Ou Xiangxie made a pure water battle map, fighting in the pond. There are many lotus leaves in the pond. The cards stand on the lotus leaves and will not be affected, but after falling into the pond, a large amount of blood will be lost every second."
Li Wan, the owner of Daoxiang Village, is invincible and is the president of Haitang Poetry Society. Xie Mingzhe said: "Daoxiang Village can be set to be free from control on the entire map. Every once in a while, a range of free from control is drawn in Daoxiang Village, and all cards in the entire scene are immune to control."
Chen Qianlin thought to himself: "In this way, if you bring the card Li Wan again, the scene in Daoxiangcun will be double-control-free."
Xie Mingzhe nodded: "Well, for the decks that control the flow, using this scenario can greatly reduce the probability of being controlled continuously."
There is still a photo of Yihongyuan where Jia Baoyu lives.
Xie Mingzhe remembered the classic "Yihong Night Banquet" scene in the Red Chamber. At that time, the elders were not there. On Jia Baoyu's birthday, the maid from Yihongyuan gathered money to hold a night banquet for him and invited many guests such as Daiyu, Baochai, Xiangyun, etc. This was also the most lively night in Yihongyuan.
If the scene events are too complicated, they will affect the battle and scatter the main points. Therefore, the scene events can only be set as background and there cannot be too many scene characters. Xie Mingzhe decided to draw several of Jia Baoyu's maids into the scene as NPCs.
At the beginning, Xiren, Qingwen and others prepare for the dinner first. When the game reaches a certain stage, the night banquet will be opened, and the whole audience is brightly lit and laughter will be heard. All cards are affected by the joyful atmosphere of the night banquet, and the attack speed and critical strike will be comprehensively improved. In other words, at the beginning of the night banquet, both sides will enter a fierce firepower battle stage, and the game will be more beautiful.
Xie Mingzhe talked about his ideas to everyone, and his teammates expressed their approval.
Yu Ke sighed: "So many scene cards! Qin Xuan is busy next time, can he draw it?"
Qin Xuan said calmly: "I read the draft. It is not difficult to draw a separate courtyard. The most difficult thing is actually what Azhe said about the integration of the Grand View Garden. How to connect all the courtyards? This is a big project."
Xie Mingzhe nodded: "Yes, I will help you with the merger work. At that time, I will make a floor plan of the Grand View Garden, place each yard in a fixed position, draw some stone roads, green plants, corridors and the like in the middle to connect the yards together."
"Where is the weather and light?" Qin Xuan asked, "It will rain in Qiushuangzhai, Yihongyuan is a night view, is it daytime in other places?"
"Each small scene is made of independent weather and light and dark design." Xie Mingzhe thought for a moment and said, "The Xiaoxiang Pavilion was made during the day. As long as four cards were killed in a certain side, Daiyu's tears were cut off and turned into night. On the contrary, the beginning was dusk. After the night banquet was ready, it turned into a brightly lit night... Isn't this too complicated?"
"Fortunately, the scene remains unchanged, and it is not difficult to only change the light and dark light." Qin Xuan said calmly.
"...You think you can do it!" Xie Mingzhe is not able to do 3D conversion of map scenes yet. Qin Xuan is really good at this. In fact, the "Bloodsucking Castle" he designed also has light conversion. When the crows fly by, the map will be completely dark. With such a powerful teammate, Xie Mingzhe immediately let go of half of his heart, smiled and patted Qin Xuan's shoulder and said, "In the past few days, I will help you and make some detailed settings. Let's make this series of scene cards as soon as possible."
Qin Xuan nodded simply: "Okay."
After everyone agreed to the map design, Chen Qianlin reorganized the data. Each picture, the specific time period, what event or scene effect was triggered, and with the master, these things that made Xie Mingzhe confused became particularly clear.
Qin Xuan wrote dozens of pages in just a note, which shows the complexity of the Grand View Garden series map.
Chapter completed!
