"Do you think it's possible?"

The next day, still in the office of Caoshen Plastics Factory, the desk was covered with the papers she had written and painted with Shen Chang yesterday.

Han Yangqiu, who went to work in the studio today, was directly pulled here by Song Mu. Chen Zhanpeng had already gone to the workshop, Sun Liang still took a group of people to run the business, and there were only three people in the office: Song Mu, Shen Chang and Han Yangqiu.

After listening to Song Mu and Shen Chang's rough explanation of this software, Han Yangqiu still stared at the papers without saying a word, not knowing what was going on in his head.

After a long time, Han Yangqiu spoke: "Although this kind of similar graphics processing software is already being done in the United States, no matter what. Functionality or ...... The method of rough work or the software interface ......"

"Human-Computer Interaction Design?" Seeing that what he said was a bit stuck, Song Mu couldn't help but add.

These people around Song Mu had long been accustomed to the new words that came out of her mouth when she had something to do, so Han Yangqiu immediately used them without thinking about it. Above. Finish. She. said: "The design of human-computer interaction is more than ten streets away from them, if it weren't for knowing that you can't program, I would have suspected that you are a programming boss." ”

Song Mu didn't become complacent because of Han Yangqiu's rare compliment, nor did she feel funny because Han Yangqiu learned her way of speaking, she waited quietly, waiting for Han Yangqiu to continue.

"You designed this software not only to use a microcomputer for image processing. You can see that you have bigger ambitions and you want to change the way animation is made in the future! ”

Han Yangqiu's words were categorical, and at the same time, Song Mu was a little dumbfounded.

She just explained to Han Yangqiu the functions of her plagiarism, or "design", and Han Yangqiu directly saw the possibility of changing the way animation is produced in the future.

However, Han Yangqiu's words were not finished, and after a series of affirmations, his words changed sharply and began to talk about the shortcomings of this software: "Although your starting point may be to save the cost of paper, celluloid, pigments and other materials for the studio, have you thought about it, how much does a microcomputer cost?" How much does it cost to learn a microcomputer? ”

"......" Song Mu looked at Han Yangqiu with some dumbfounded, and she couldn't help but interrupt Han Yangqiu's words: "Whether you believe it or not, I really didn't want to save materials for our factory...... I just think that the mountains of middle sheets are cumbersome and take up space, and it would be great if I could do the whole paperless rough work......"

"Even if you haven't thought about saving materials," although Han Yangqiu was noncommittal to Song Mu's words, he still reluctantly affirmed her statement, and then he fell on Shen Chang's body: "Do you know how many middle sheets are in an animation?" ”

"Xiao Mu said that there will be about twenty-four in a second." Shen Chang replied truthfully.

Han Yangqiu nodded, "How much space does a picture occupy?" How many graphics can you fit on this Macintana hard drive? ”

“……”

“……”

For a moment, there was silence in the office.

Although Song Mu doesn't know how to program, she still knows a little about hard drives.

She suddenly realized that she had taken it for granted before, and she only remembered now that a USB flash drive of dozens of dollars in the future can have dozens of gigabytes of storage, while hard disks in this era only have dozens of megabytes of storage space!

1024M is equal to 1G, that is to say, the storage space of a cheap U disk in the future can top the hard disk space of thousands of computers now!

When she thought about hard drives, she also thought about the processing power of the computer itself.

Like hard disks, the processing power of computers in this era is not even comparable to a thousand-yuan mobile phone in later generations!

"That ......" Song Mu raised his hand weakly and asked, "Using a floppy disk regardless of the cost should be able to solve the storage problem, right?" ”

Han Yangqiu nodded in affirmation of Song Mu's reasoning.

"So......" Song Mu continued to ask, "If the storage problem is solved, is it possible that the performance of the current computer is not enough to support the functions I requested?" ”

What she didn't expect was that Han Yangqiu actually gave an almost negative answer: "In fact, except for individual functions, most of the functions you want can be realized theoretically." ”

"Then do it!" Song Mu immediately clapped his head.

She was so excited that she almost jumped up, most of the functions can be realized, so what more bike do you need?!

The software that Song Mu wants, to put it bluntly, is a combination of the most basic and important functions of the later generations of "photo store", "painter" and "Zuowei", and these three software are the three most commonly used software for paperless homework!

Even if there is no drawing tablet now, even if the mouse is still difficult to use to death, as long as this software is made, it will definitely become a pioneer!

As for the software that makes her paintings coherent, such as "Lightning" and "TV Paint", she plans to wait until the software is completed to study their feasibility.

"Not yet." Unexpectedly, Han Yangqiu suddenly broke a basin of cold water. Even though Song Mu and Shen Chang both looked at them suspiciously, Han Yangqiu still said unhurriedly at his pace: "Your software looks like it can be operated with a mouse, but I think what it really needs is not a mouse, but a tablet." ”

Song Mu: "??!! ”

She once thought that she had auditory hallucinations, and the pen tablet is a word that can appear in this era?

What she didn't know was that the world's first passive hand-drawn tablet had actually been invented by Yueguo in 1984. Not so far back in 1990, the Fourth Ni even used a hand-drawn tablet to create the classic animation "Beauty and the Beast".

"Pen tablet?" Song Mu confirmed with some disbelief: "Is the pen tablet you are talking about the kind of hand-drawn tablet that is connected to the computer and draws by hand?" Is there such a thing now? ”

This question was heard in Han Yangqiu's ears, combined with his previous inference, he only thought that Song Mu was really also imagining something like a pen tablet.

"You call it a sketchpad? Corresponding to the mouse (mark) painting, right? Han Yangqiu first speculated about why Song Mu called it a hand-painted tablet, and then continued to explain: "There is indeed such a thing as a hand-painted tablet, and it is called graphi in the United States, and it is directly translated into Chinese as a drawing board, and it is the first thing that came into contact with the Bay Island, so it was translated into a pen tablet ......"

After receiving an affirmative answer, Song Mu interrupted Han Yangqiu without waiting for him to continue, and said more excitedly than before: "Let's buy more computers!" I'm going to go completely paperless before the next anime starts! Shen Chang, you have to add it too. As long as this software is successful, there are more software waiting for you to develop! ”

Although Shen Chang had a heart to play games, seeing that his object was so excited, he smiled faintly, and only spit out a simple word in his mouth: "Okay." ”

However, at this time, Han Yangqiu poured a basin of cold water again and said, "I said, it's not okay yet." ”

Song Mu raised his eyebrows and looked at Han Yangqiu, he had been saying no from just now, and he didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in his gourd.

"Going back to what I just said, now I can be sure that your software is designed with a tablet as an input tool." Han Yangqiu, who was stared at by Song Mu, was not flustered, he continued to say at his own pace: "At present, a company called Waqam in the country has manufactured passive hand-drawn tablets, but its role is mainly used for CAD, that is, the use of computers and their graphics equipment to help designers carry out design work. ”

"......" Song Mu was silent for a moment and then asked, "So, it's not for painting?" ”

"Strictly speaking, it's not for animation." Han Yangqiu revised Song Mu's statement.

Song Mu was silent again, the name Vacam she was so familiar couldn't be more familiar, this was the hand-painted tablet brand she had been using all her life! No, it should be said that Waqam's hand-drawn tablet is a product used by almost all animation practitioners in later generations!

Song Mu didn't know until today that the animation artifact of Niu Pi was not originally made for animation.

Seeing that Song Mu didn't answer again, Han Yangqiu thought that Song Mu had been hit, so he added another sentence: "Although it is not used for animation now, we can turn it into a tool for animation." ”
