As for what this fancy operation was?
On April 1, 2011, on this April Fool's Day, Geek Technology officially released a promotional ad teaching you how to earn extra money at home.
This promotional ad teaching you how to earn extra money at home was produced in more than two hundred languages and text versions, mainly converting the monetary unit of the ad into the local national monetary unit.
As for what this promotional ad teaching you how to earn extra money at home talked about?
It actually consists of three parts.
The first part is to use specific 3D model cases to tell you how much money you can earn by designing a 3D model of this scale.
The second part is to introduce a website for learning 3D modeling for free forever, and introduce the video and text tutorials on it.
Among them, these video and text tutorials are quite detailed, completely at the level of teaching hand-by-hand, and there are more than 200 language and text versions.
Of course, video and text tutorials alone are not enough, because just watching will definitely make you feel like you know it, but you will fail as soon as you start.
Therefore, Geek Technology also gives you relevant free game engines and tools, so that you can learn and make 3D models at the same time.
It can be said that in this second part, Geek Technology is completely of a truly public welfare nature, not charging users a penny.
As for the third part, you have to spend money to buy it, because Geek Technology simultaneously released a set of 3D modeling scanning toolkits.
Among them, this 3D modeling scanning toolkit is sold at cost price, without making any profit from users.
After users buy it, they can use it to scan the target object, and then the game engine modeling software will automatically generate a rough three-dimensional 3D model.
After the user obtains this 3D model, they can refine and adjust the 3D model.
When the 3D model is adjusted to be exactly the same as the reference object, and it is impossible to easily distinguish the real from the fake, then the model can be sold to Geek Technology in the form of permanent buyout to earn extra money.
As for how much this extra money is?
Taking the most common strawberry as an example, there are many kinds of strawberries in this world, with different shapes, structures, and growth patterns.
When you create a high-definition and highly realistic strawberry 3D model according to the real appearance,
Subsequently, because there is a 3D scanning tool to assist, the workload is relatively simple, only taking several hours, and you can eventually earn about 80 yuan in extra money.
After that, if you continue to create the appearance of strawberry plants in different periods, then 3D models of different appearances can be sold for money once.
For example, the 3D model of a strawberry in the seedling stage with only a few leaves can be sold for money once, which is about 130 yuan.
After the strawberry grows up, the complexity of the 3D model is further improved, then it can be sold for money again, and you can get 250 yuan again.
Subsequently, 3D strawberry models of the flowering period and the fruitful period can be sold for money again respectively.
It can be said that the higher the complexity of the 3D model you make, the more polygons it has, the more money you can earn.
You can completely earn thousands or even thousands of yuan from Geek Technology for a single variety of strawberry 3D model!
Of course, in addition to various plants, Geek Technology also collects 3D models of buildings, objects, and animals in different periods.
As long as the 3D model is not repeated and there is no infringement.
For example, if there is an ancient temple in your hometown, you can take pictures of its appearance and then upload it to Geek Technology for review.
After Geek Technology approves it, then you can immediately create a 3D model of this ancient temple, and every 3D model in this ancient temple will be counted as money!
The broom inside, the decorations inside, and the 3D models of every brick inside will be counted as money!
Finally, after the entire ancient temple is made one-to-one, it is not impossible for you to get several or even ten squares!
Therefore, when Geek Technology's ad was released, it directly made people's hearts flutter.
At this time, they discovered a brand new way to make money, which is to become a 3D modeler!
After all, 3D modeling only requires a computer, and nothing else is needed.
Even this job is quite free. You can work wherever you want, work whenever you want, and most importantly, the income is quite substantial!
After all, making a simple strawberry 3D model can earn 80 yuan, which is equivalent to the wages of many workers for half a day or even a day.
At this time, as long as you make a simple 3D model, you can get at least 80 yuan, and normal 3D models can get hundreds of yuan.
Those large 3D models can even reach tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of yuan in income, how can this not make people's hearts flutter?
The threshold is so low, you don't need to pay tuition at all. Geek Technology has already pre-recorded detailed and free video and text teaching materials for you. You just need to follow along and learn.
You don't even need to buy the 3D modeling scanning toolkit released by Geek Technology.
Because the essence of the 3D modeling scanning toolkit is to speed up the production of 3D models.
Not using the 3D modeling scanning toolkit does not prevent you from doing 3D modeling, it just wastes a little more time.
So, as long as you have the heart and really want to learn, it is not impossible to earn several times more income from Geek Technology than working a job without spending a penny.
So, accompanied by Geek Technology's crazy advertising, many people, especially many housewives, really had some small thoughts!
They opened the relevant website directly according to the address, and then played the teaching videos and downloaded the relevant software.
Of course, many people who already know how to do 3D modeling do not need to learn, but directly start making money.
So the newly established 3D model review department of Geek Technology was immediately so busy that their feet did not touch the ground, frantically reviewing 3D modeling development applications.
In this process, the review department does not directly approve them without thinking.
Because the reason why there is a review process.
The reason is to check whether the 3D model is repeated, whether it infringes on other people's technical patents, whether someone is already developing a similar type of 3D model, and so on.
So the task of the review department is not easy. In order to serve global 3D modelers, the number of people in the review department will definitely exceed thousands in the future. Of course, due to limited manpower and limited funds, Geek Technology will not collect any messy 3D models.
The 3D models that Geek Technology currently collects are mainly close to the realistic side, that is, the 3D model style that cannot distinguish between real and fake in the Unreal 5 game engine.
This is also to reduce Geek Technology's financial pressure.
Because only 3D models that are close to the real world and cannot distinguish between real and fake can make a 3D model suitable for countless games.
Therefore, the 3D models that Geek Technology currently collects are close to the realistic style, making 3D models that can be mistaken for real.
However, domestic and foreign media do not care what type and style of 3D models Geek Technology mainly collects.
At this time, they were all shocked by another super big deal of Geek Technology.
Because when Geek Technology was frantically advertising, Geek Technology's official website also announced the amount of funds used to acquire 3D models.
As for how much money is this?
Geek Technology said that before the end of this year, it will take out no less than 500 million US dollars, which is billion Huaxia coins, to buy a large number of users' high-definition 3D models.
This 500 million US dollars is expected to allow Geek Technology to have hundreds of thousands of high-definition 3D models that are difficult for people to distinguish between real and fake!
