Chapter 231: The so-called animation

In fact, it's normal for Sikong Yue to be amazed, and we know that animation, animation, is actually a "moving painting".

It is essentially composed of pictures one by one, and when the pictures are played continuously and the speed reaches a certain level, the picture will also move.

The so-called frame rate refers to the number of images played per second.

60 frames per second, that is, 60 pictures per second.

The picture is composed of pixels one by one, with a resolution of 1920*1080, that is, this picture has 1920 points horizontally and 1080 points vertically.

The so-called full animation, the resolution is generally 1920*1080, which is the so-called 1080P, and the number of frames per second is only 23, that is, 23 pictures are played per second.

And these 23 pictures are not directly drawn from the 23 original pictures.

When making it, we use various techniques to reduce the number of drawings.

And the animation itself, there will be all kinds of still images, camera movements, pull-in and pan-pan, and so on.

In this case, you don't need to redraw, just move the camera to a picture, and you can save a lot of the original picture at once.

On average, there are only 8 original drawings per second.

Only Miyazaki's animation subscription has 23 original drawings per second.

Therefore, watching ordinary dramas, even if it is a Blu-ray mirror, it will not be as smooth as a movie, and if you watch it carefully, you will have the feeling of one card after another.

For example, the movement of the character is not completely smooth, and there is an instantaneous change of position.

And now playing,The magic forbidden three produced by Xingchen,It's 3840*2160 resolution,60 frames per second video,Whether it's smoothness and clarity,And ordinary dramas,It's not at the same level at all。

An undoubted spike.

After confirming the information with Chen Chen, Sikong Yue watched it more seriously, compared to others, Sikong Yue, an old driver and a genius hacker, he cared more about the video itself.

However, the more he looked, the more Sikong Yue's brows wrinkled.

She knows that some pictures, such as when the camera is zoomed in, traditional animation will use the same picture to gradually enlarge the picture and make a lens pull in effect.

In this case, because the size of an original painting is limited, after the distance is too pulled, although the characters are enlarged, the details will be a little blurry.

And the magic forbidden three made by Xingchen, when the camera zooms in, the details on the picture are also enriched.

In other words, instead of working on a fixed picture, he drew pictures at different distances.

Moreover, there are a lot of such pictures, so many that people can't see the excessive effect at all, and it's as smooth as a movie.

"Could it be that these 60 original pictures per second at 4K resolution are completely drawn?"

"No...... Impossible, this cost is unimaginable, even if it is a good animation company, it will not dare to do it......"

"Even Miyazaki is just a hand-drawn 1080p 23-frame animated movie, and it may not be able to produce one a year.

"It's 4K resolution, 60 frames, and the cost is so high that it can't be calculated, and a few minutes can consume the budget of an entire average animation......"

"Uh...... What are you struggling with alone...... The author is right next to him...... Just ask! ”

Sikong Yue shook his head vigorously and turned to look at Chen Chen:

"Chenchen, how did you make this animation? It can't be completely hand-drawn at 60 frames per second, right? ”

Chen Chen shook his head a little speechlessly, and then said:

"Didn't I say it before, Xingchen and I have developed a new animation production technology using the distributed computing of artificial intelligence, and this is the effect now."

After listening to Chen Chen's words, Sikong Yue suddenly realized, and then immediately asked impatiently:

"Then you hurry up and tell me how it was done! What the hell is going on with this technology? ”

Chen Chen shrugged indifferently: "It's actually very simple, it's 3D to 2D, all the characters and backgrounds are 3D modeling, and the plot of the entire animation is also performed through 3D." It's just like a video of a 3D game, after recording, it's just a 2D hand-drawn effect rendered using specialized technology. ”

Listening to Chen Chen's words, Sikong Yue was stunned for a moment, and then immediately shouted:

"It can't be! 3D to 2D is very easy to see, just like you said, there is a feeling of high-definition 3D game recording.

"Even Sunrise, a top neon animation company, makes extensive use of the 3D-to-2D technology that they are proud of, with their masterpieces Gundam series and LoveLive.

"But even if it's sunrise, the final product, the 3D traces are very obvious, and the painting style will be slightly different, but you, this one, can hardly find such traces at all! How do you do that? ”

Chen Chen waved his hand very casually: "It's very simple, when enough samples are collected, and human visual habits are thoroughly understood, coupled with the huge computing power of artificial intelligence, there is nothing that cannot be done." ”

"No......" Sikong Yuewu couldn't accept such a thing, "Sunrise has been doing it for so many years, and you have surpassed it in a few months?" ”

"What's so unexpected about surpassing Sunrise?" Chen Chen cocked Erlang's legs, picked up a goblet, and took a sip of the bright red liquid inside, "My artificial intelligence technology is an epoch-making new technology, if you can't beat animation companies such as Sunrise, it would be strange!" ”

Sikong Yue was stunned, what Chen Chen said was good, but this matter needs a little time to accept.

At this time, Chen Ying suddenly said, "Hey...... Chen Chen, how do you drink my watermelon juice? And how does this animation speak Chinese? ”

"Poof...... Sure enough, I'm not used to ......" Chen Chen took a sip, put his sister's watermelon juice back on the table, and took back his mango juice, "I made an animation to watch by myself, of course, in Chinese, isn't it normal?" ”

"But...... But ......" Chen Ying couldn't say why she came for a long time, "I always felt that something was wrong......

At this time, Sikong Yue also reacted: "Yes...... Chen Chen, you Demon Forbidden Three, why are you Chinese? ”

Regarding Sikong Yue's rhetorical question, Chen Chen's face was incredulous: "Is it strange to use Chinese?" Is there anything wrong with this dubbing? ”

"This ...... It's not ......" Sikong Yue nodded, "The voice and feelings are very natural, and the voice is almost no different from the first two, it seems that the only difference is that neon language has been replaced by Chinese ......"

Chen Chen took a sip of juice: "Isn't this enough, it sounds like there is no sense of disobedience at all?" Are you not used to listening to your native language? Do you have to listen to a foreign language and then stare at the subtitles? ”

Chen Ying waved her hand and said: "That's not what we meant, I'm just a little surprised, I think it's better to speak Chinese......"

Wu Ning also nodded and said: "That's right, I finally don't have to stare at the subtitles, I can pay more attention to the plot and picture, and it is better to ......."

Sikong Yue also shrugged: "As long as the dubbing is good enough, of course it is still good in Chinese, I didn't like to watch Chinese dubbing before, just because the quality of dubbing is uneven, sometimes a few particularly embarrassing sentences will suddenly come, which makes people get goosebumps." ”

"Now, I'm just a little surprised, the thing of Demon Forbidden Three has finally come out, but it's Chinese, the audience on the neon side must be very embarrassed, if they want to watch it, they have to find someone to do subtitles......"

Chen Chen shook his head and said, "But I'm not going to play it publicly......"
