In the vast starry sky of digital game art, Black Myth: Wukong is undoubtedly a dazzling new star. This masterpiece, known as the “first domestic 3A game”, has not only attracted the attention of global players with its profound cultural heritage and unique game play.
According to authoritative analysts, one of the success factors of “Black Myth: Wukong” is that it has created an unprecedented new height in the field of three-dimensional reconstruction technology. Many scenes in the game, such as Yingxian wooden tower, Fanjing Mountain, etc., are highly restored to Chinese ancient buildings through 3D reconstruction technology, so that Chinese traditional ancient buildings are rejuvenated in the game, taking players to open a cultural journey across time and space!
The achievements of 3D modeling in “Black Myth: Wukong” cannot be separated from the contribution of the UAV aerial survey camera. SONY ILX-LR1, as a professional camera for UAV aerial photography, inspection, mapping and 3D modeling, can bring more excellent performance to the 3D modeling of “Black Myth: Wukong”?
What is 3D reconstruction
Three-dimensional Reconstruction (3D Reconstruction) is the process of converting objects or scenes in the real world into three-dimensional models through computer technology.
This technique involves a lot of data acquisition, data processing, 3D modeling, texture mapping and rendering. The 3D data in the real world is obtained by means of LiDAR scanning and UAV aerial photography, and then the mathematical modeling method is used to process and analyze the data, and finally the 3D scene model with high precision is generated.
In this process, data acquisition is a crucial step, which can be said to be the cornerstone of the entire process. The quality and integrity of data acquisition directly affect the subsequent 3D modeling, processing, optimization and the final application effect.
The main purpose of data acquisition is to obtain the spatial information of the reconstructed object or scene, including but not limited to shape, size, position, color, texture, etc. At this time, UAV aerial survey technology plays an important role.
Application of UAV aerial survey
Uav aerial survey technology is a kind of technology that uses the UAV equipped with a camera to take multiple photos of objects, and processes the images through computer vision algorithm to obtain the three-dimensional model of objects.
Uav aerial survey technology is a technology that takes multiple photos of ancient buildings and other scenes by carrying high-precision cameras, and processes the images through computer vision algorithms to obtain three-dimensional models of objects.
01 Efficient image capture
Uav aerial survey technology is equipped with high-precision cameras to quickly and comprehensively capture images of ancient buildings and other scenes. This technology overcomes the space obstacle and manpower limitation of traditional data acquisition methods, and can obtain a large number of high-quality 3D point cloud data or high-definition images in a short time.
In Black Myth: Wukong, drones are used to shoot ancient buildings such as Yingxian wooden Tower, Dazu Stone carvings, Yungang Grottoes, and Xuankong Temple, providing a rich image data source for 3D modeling of the game.
The SONY ILX-LR1 is a professional camera designed for drones and other high-altitude shooting platforms. Moreover, it integrates SONY’s deep accumulation in the field of image technology, providing high-performance solutions for UAV aerial survey and inspection, aerial photography, environmental monitoring and other fields.
The SONY ILX-LR1 allows users to remotely control its menus and other functions through their own software applications. By integrating apis into the system, the camera can be controlled remotely from a computer. The ILX-LR1 is also more efficient than ever before, with a response time of nearly 2 seconds for one photo, compared to about 1 second for three photos.
02 Accurate 3D modeling
SONY ILX-LR1, equipped with a full-frame backlit Exmor R™ CMOS image sensor of about 61 million pixels, the introduction of this high-performance sensor has greatly improved the image quality of the camera, able to capture more details and accurate images, the details of a photo can be obtained after magnify. It may take more than 3 shots before the previous camera. It can provide detailed image data for the 3D reconstruction of Black Myth: Wukong. These data can accurately reflect the shape, texture, light and shadow characteristics of the object, which helps to build a more realistic and lifelike three-dimensional model.
In “Black Myth: Goku”, SONY ILX-LR1 acquired the image data of ancient buildings not only comprehensive and fine, but also able to 1:1 restore the texture and details of the real scene. For example, Yingxian wooden tower cornices, carved beams and mortise and tenon design, Dazu stone carved golden thousand-hand Avalokitesvara and Guan infinite longevity Buddhist sutras, etc., can be accurately restored through the ILX-LR1 camera.
03 Other Functions Supported
In addition to the above main performance, SONY ILX-LR1’s lightweight compact, high integration, flexible lens selection and long endurance further support UAV aerial survey technology, providing a strong support for the three-dimensional reconstruction of Black Myth: Wukong.
