쉐도잉 연습: How video game rocks get made - 영상으로 영어 말하기 배우기
레슨 만드는 중...
1
This is a rock.
2
But this man is not a geologist.
3
My name's Galen.
4
I work as a producer and an evangelist here for Quixel at Epic Games.
5
Video game developer Epic Games makes games like Fortnite, but they're as well known for Unreal Engine, the ever-evolving game engine for a ton of video games
6
and other industries that use 3D from Hollywood movies to demos for architecture.
7
That's part of why Epic Games Studio Quixel sends people here.
8
Because getting high resolution scans of rocks like these represents an evolution in making video games and all three-dimensional art.
9
Where actually were you when you were doing these scans?
10
The area specifically that we spent the most time in is an area called Hurra Pass.
11
And Hurra Pass takes about 90 minutes to get to at least where we were scanning to in an off-road capacity.
12
Pavement stops, there's sheer drop-offs, it's really sketchy, for lack of a better way to put it.
13
And since we're so far off the grid and we didn't bring a generator or anything like that, we would just scan and tell the batteries we go completely dead.
14
Galen is out there searching for rocks that might look good for Epic's tech demo, set on a moody, slightly alien landscape.
15
In this clip, Galen is taking high-resolution pictures of this rock from a bunch of different angles.
16
The tent keeps light even, no hard shadows.
17
On the back, he's got a battery pack to keep going longer.
18
And on the ground, there's a scale marker so they'll know how big the boulder is.
19
These pictures are pulled into software, then they're stitched together into a 3D model.
20
The software figures out what a complete rock looks like from the common points in the picture.
21
All this makes up a scanned asset.
22
The Quixel team did a similar process for big structures by capturing via drone, and for textures by photographing a rock wall and capturing the canyon floor.
23
Making them can be pretty hard work.
24
You walk into an area and you think, oh, this is awesome.
25
And then you start breaking it down, thinking about what's actually going to be useful.
26
And it becomes less awesome very quickly.
27
Mostly just because of the time, you know, the time constraints.
28
It's like, oh, well, I could shoot that, but I mean, is it the best use of the few hours we have left today, you know?
29
But shifting that time to Quixel and other scanners and then distributing their work saves time for individual video game designers.
30
And the treacherous highlights of the canyons of Utah are available for download and insertion into your own game.
31
In the past, artists had to manually make these assets and textures, sometimes pixel by pixel.
32
These days, you might sculpt your own assets using special software.
33
Sometimes it works better than others.
34
I guess it's a face?
35
Downloading textures and models from a cloud marketplace cuts that out of the workflow.
36
They aren't just photos.
37
For example, they include additional images, like this normal map, which uses color to tell the program how high or low certain parts of an image should be.
38
And you can even remix and customize assets once you have them.
39
The example that I always use whenever I'm describing the library and the things that we do is, how many times do you as an artist need to remake that brick wall?
40
There are a lot of ways to get pretty good 3D stuff.
41
Part of what's exciting about all this technology is
42
that pretty much anyone can make a high quality 3D scan and get assets using stuff as simple as their phone.
43
You can use professional stuff like reality capture or honestly your own phone might get you 70% of the way there.
44
Do I look cool right now?
45
I feel so cool.
46
But for a rich environment, it's easier to just download something.
47
Polyhaven provides a lot of textures and models that work across many programs for free.
48
Quixel offers high-quality assets free to use in Unreal and for a fee in other programs.
49
And while I'm able to scan a local rock,
50
developers can't always go to Utah or another one of Quixel's biomes which range from rainforests to tundras.
51
Suddenly, everyone can make their game an alien planet without having to draw it.
52
Even though I'm not in the desert, it is super hot right now, and sometimes developers just want to sit at their desk.
53
Or make guys like Galen be the ones who have to trek out and eat lunch in the desert.
54
Quick Sam, you know what I mean?
55
Double cheese.
56
For Epic, these scans and textures were collected in part for that technology demo of the company's graphics supercharged Unreal Engine 5.
57
It's a flywheel for Epic Games and Quixel, where scans make Unreal Engine better, and better Unreal Engine means more Unreal Engine games,
58
which means more people want to add scans that work with Unreal Engine.
59
That also means it is eminently practical to send a crew of non-geologists deep into the desert to photograph rocks.
60
Thank you.

이 레슨의 어휘와 말하기 포인트
이 B2 수준 말하기 레슨은 영상 “How video game rocks get made”을(를) 바탕으로 합니다. 가장 자주 반복되는 단어는 다음과 같습니다: scan, rock, Unreal, engine, Quixel. 이 영상에는 섀도잉할 문장 60개와 단어 870개가 있습니다. 말하는 구간의 길이는 6:03입니다. 화자는 분당 약 144단어의 일정한 속도로 말해서 섀도잉하기에 편한 속도입니다. 영어에서 가장 많이 쓰이는 3,000단어에 속하는 단어가 80%뿐이라 어휘가 어려운 편입니다.

| 단어 | 발음 | 뜻 |
|---|---|---|
| demo 명사 | /ˈdɛm.oʊ/ | 데모 |
| geologist 명사 | /d͡ʒiˈɑːlədʒɪst/ | 지질학자 |
| pixel 명사 | /ˈpɪk.səl/ | 픽셀, 화소 |
| canyon 명사 | /ˈkænjən/ | 협곡 |
| flywheel 명사 | 플라이휠 | |
| tundra 명사 | /ˈtʌndɹə/ | 툰드라 |
| workflow 명사 | /ˈwɝkfloʊ/ | 워크플로 |
| scanner 명사 | /ˈskænə/ | 스캐너 |
| boulder 명사 | /ˈboʊl.dɚ/ | 바위 |
| remake 명사 | /ɹiːˈmeɪk/ | 리메이크 |
| generator 명사 | /ˈdʒɛnəɹeɪtə(ɹ)/ | 발전기 |
| remix 명사 | /ˈɹiːˌmɪks/ | 리믹스 |
| drone 명사 | /dɹoʊn/ | 숫벌, 수벌 |
| tent 명사 | /tɛnt/ | 텐트, 천막 |
| grid 명사 | /ɡɹɪd/ | 격자, 그리드 |
따라 말해 볼 만한 문장
영상에 나오는 짧고 완결된 문장으로, 일상 대화에서 그대로 쓸 수 있습니다:
- Where actually were you when you were doing these scans?
- I guess it's a face?
- Do I look cool right now?
주의할 발음
화자는 I'm, they're, aren't 같은 축약형과 약화된 형태를 10번 사용합니다. 들리는 대로 짧게 발음하세요.
- “sh”와 “zh” 소리: insertion /ɪnˈsɝʃən/, sheer /ʃɪɚ/, dimensional /daɪˈmɛn.ʃə.nəl/
- 긴 단어 — 강세 위치에 주의: developer /dɪˈvɛləpɚ/, geologist /d͡ʒiˈɑːlədʒɪst/, eminently /ˈɛmɪnəntli/, evangelist /ɪˈvænd͡ʒəlɪst/, manually /ˈmænj(u)əliː/
한국어 화자가 어려워하는 소리:
- /f/ — ㅍ(/p/)으로 바꾸지 말고 윗니를 아랫입술에 대기: rainforest /ˈɹeɪn.fɔɹ.ɪst/, workflow /ˈwɝkfloʊ/, graphics /ˈɡɹæfɪks/
- /v/ — ㅂ(/b/)과 구별하기: developer /dɪˈvɛləpɚ/, evangelist /ɪˈvænd͡ʒəlɪst/, pavement /ˈpeɪvm(ə)nt/, evolve /ɪˈvɑlv/
이 영상으로 연습하는 방법
- 먼저 말하지 않고 영상을 끝까지 듣고 모르는 단어를 적어 둡니다.
- 보통 속도로 한 문장씩 섀도잉하고, 화자의 리듬과 맞을 때까지 반복합니다.
- 자신의 목소리를 녹음해 원본과 비교하고, demo, geologist, pixel 같은 단어에 특히 주의합니다.
쉐도잉이란? 영어 실력을 빠르게 키우는 과학적 방법
쉐도잉(Shadowing)은 원래 전문 통역사 훈련을 위해 개발된 언어 학습 기법으로, 다언어 학자인 Dr. Alexander Arguelles에 의해 대중화된 방법입니다. 핵심 원리는 간단하지만 매우 강력합니다: 원어민의 영어를 들으면서 1~2초의 짧은 지연으로 즉시 소리 내어 따라 말하는 것——마치 '그림자(shadow)'처럼 화자를 따라가는 것입니다. 문법 공부나 수동적인 청취와 달리, 쉐도잉은 뇌와 입 근육이 동시에 실시간으로 영어를 처리하고 재현하도록 훈련합니다. 연구에 따르면 이 방법은 발음 정확도, 억양, 리듬, 연음, 청취력, 말하기 유창성을 크게 향상시킵니다. IELTS 스피킹 준비와 자연스러운 영어 소통을 원하는 분들에게 특히 효과적입니다.
