Chapter 0218: Paintings
The world of swords and sorcery has a 'reflection stone' that can be used to record moving images and sounds for a short time. That's how wizards use to communicate information. There are also magic items that can display the patterns and sounds of the event, as well as animated items such as golems and constructs.
But these things only consider whether they are good or not, and never consider whether they truly reflect the real thing. All the fine paintings that Zhou Qingfeng has seen in the history of elven painting are similar to Western oil paintings in the real world, and they are not yet as fine as photography.
The oil painting version of the goddess Angres is beautiful, but not real enough. The compositions are all solemn and sacred, lacking dynamic spirituality.
"Sophia, I want to turn all these paintings into the style of real photos, can I do it?"
"Yes. With your current brain computing power, brother, it's no problem to complete this part of the work. ”
"So I hope to make a short film in the image of the goddess Angres, can I?"
"If it's a short film with continuous action, the picture rendering requires a lot of computing power."
"Where's a few seconds of GIFs?"
"You can try."
"So with the theme of 'The Smile of the Goddess', we selected ten of these thousands of paintings and evolved them. I'd like to get some dynamic graphics. ”
The dynamic picture was given to Sophia, and it was difficult to show it. Zhou Qingfeng turned to books on alchemy, but this was much more difficult than reading the history of art and painting.
When the boy opened a book of "Alchemy Basic Glossary" in Elven language, a new room opened next to the study. Every time he understood an instrument or concept, the empty new room would enlarge slightly, and the corresponding objects would appear.
From the experimental bench to the distillation dish, from the alcohol lamp to the reactor, Zhou Qingfeng seems to have a simple chemical laboratory. As the reading deepened, the area of the laboratory also expanded, and different experimental materials and even living organisms appeared in virtual forms.
The 'Gate of True Knowledge' only provides knowledge, not physical objects. But it doesn't matter, the current creation environment itself is virtual, and the two are compatible.
But Zhou Qingfeng's intelligence is not enough, and his learning efficiency is too slow. He pulled out a red crystal and threw it into the 'Dementor Coins', borrowing the power of the necromancer Mondino. Although that old bone is not a genuine alchemist, it has a third-rate level.
"Boy, do you really want to make moving paintings?" "It's not surprising, similar magical items are common, and they don't necessarily please Angelis. What has the elf goddess who has lived for countless years not seen? ”
Zhou Qingfeng sat in front of the experimental table, pondering the preparation of high-sensitivity medicines, "There are indeed similar three-dimensional paintings in the history of alchemy, but they are not clear, the movements of the characters are stiff, and there is a lack of a story structure that touches emotions.
I have other ideas, but I don't have the conditions to come up with them now. I want to make a breakthrough in materials and processes first. And I can see through what your gods, intelligent beings have not created, and you don't know at all. ”
After dealing with Ciric, the boy ordered Sophia again, "I'm going to do some preliminary experiments, and you can control my hands." Hopefully it will be successful at the first time. ”
I don't know what kind of powerful person created the 'Gate of True Knowledge', and it is indeed a strange thing that can be called an artifact. This thing has its own room for growth, containing a huge amount of virtual items, which can train a rookie to become a top master.
Zhou Qingfeng successively mixed dozens of color potions, and then tried to let Sophia control his hand to depict the finished animated GIF pictures frame by frame on a canvas.
Without any painting skills, Zhou Qingfeng had to use the most stupid method, using the method of progressive scanning, to draw out the thousands of pixels on the screen one by one - it looked simple, but it was too labor-intensive.
Zhou Qingfeng quickly changed to let Sophia control the invisible servant, using the principle of a color printer, so that different hidden servants use different colors to fill in the grid. Each grid is a tiny pixel.
This is equivalent to dozens of brushes for accurate scanning, which is not good at manpower, and must be done by Sophia. This is still time-consuming and labor-intensive, and in order to persevere, the boy has to sleep and return to the real world, and go to Hong Kong to harvest the sinful souls.
A ten-second GIF video, it took a year before and after. Relying on the infinitely extended time in the divine creation environment, as well as the constantly consumed soul crystals and life gels, Zhou Qingfeng can always persevere.
In the past year, the area of the library and alchemy laboratory in the 'Gate of True Knowledge' has expanded to dozens of square meters. The rare animal plantation has been opened up to hundreds of square meters, and exotic flowers and plants, rare birds and beasts have emerged from all over Feilun.
Although it is all virtual, it can give people an intuitive feeling and experience.
Even Zhou Qingfeng's attribute panel has the title of 'Alchemist', and the level has jumped from zero to one level. He could refine more than two hundred subdivision color potions, and stack hundreds of high-definition images of goddesses in a magic frame.
With a little magic, the Goddess of Life in the frame reveals her glamorous and dynamic smile – from amorous to feminine to mature and sexy. The graphics are extremely exquisite, and the clarity is as if a real person was present.
In more than ten seconds, it is a small story of a goddess who breaks the ice with a smile and touches the world. Angelis is no longer an unapproachable, high-spirited deity, but an amiable family.
These ten seconds seem ordinary but not simple, and those who see it for the first time are absolutely amazed. Even Ciric was speechless after reading it. The mad god only asked, "Boy, what else can't you do?" ”
"You can't have a baby." Zhou Qingfeng held the dynamic photo frame that he had worked hard to make for a year, walked to the door of light at the end of the 'pleasing goddess', and said to himself very worriedly: "I hope the goddess can like it." ”
After the frame was sent to the door, it disappeared into a cloud of light.
Zhou Qingfeng was waiting in front of the door, like a single dog who confessed like a goddess but had not yet received an answer. He was afraid that the goddess would not react, and he was afraid that the other party would refuse, and he was in a mood of gaining and losing.
Just waited a few seconds and nothing happened.
Zhou Qingfeng's heart sank, this was wrong - this was a divine environment, and the gods reacted very sensitively.
Ciric said even more bluntly: "Boy, you have failed. Even I think the frame is good. But Angelis's unresponsive is unresponsive, and she definitely doesn't like the frame you sent. Actually, why do you have to ......?"
Why......?
The moving images I make are absolutely unique in the world.
Zhou Qingfeng's heart was cold, he turned his head violently and walked towards the 'Gate of True Knowledge', and said in a blunt tone: "Enough, don't say it." I'm going to make a better one. Anyway, the time here is infinitely extended, and I can completely consume it. I will definitely be able to touch the heart of the goddess. ”
"You're an incomprehensible lunatic." Ciric scolded frantically, "A woman's mind cannot be guessed, who knows what Angelis likes?" Maybe she likes to run around bare-bottomed, like Elise. ”
"I'm not as crazy as you, I just have my attachments." Zhou Qingfeng was indignant, but he was so stubborn.
Inside the 'Gate of True Knowledge', one side of the alchemy laboratory is arranged as a painting corner. A huge drawing board is placed in it, and on the drawing board is a sketch that Zhou Qingfeng did not use, a picture of the goddess bathing - a game work to soothe his mind when he is tired.
On the canvas, the mountain spring flows, and the splash of Angres is bewitching, calm and elegant, revealing the perfect curves of the goddess in simple lines.
This is the result of Zhou Qingfeng's study of painting for a year. There is no goddess as a model, and it all depends on the imagination and brain of the teenager to draw. He learned it completely from scratch and is currently sketching.
But after a year's hard work is useless, anyone will be frustrated and angry. Zhou Qingfeng thought that his creativity and efforts could at least be rewarded, but he didn't expect any reaction.
In the face of Ciric, Zhou Qingfeng was unwilling to admit defeat. But thinking that he didn't know how long he would have to work before he succeeded, the young man couldn't suppress the anger in his heart. He lost control of his emotions for a moment, and reached out to tear off the canvas of the sketch, crumple it, tear it off, and throw it away.
But Zhou Qingfeng raised his hand to grab it, and his fingers had just opened. Behind him, a coquettish voice ...... "Human, stop!" Who allowed you to destroy my portrait? Not even if you draw it. ”
Eh......?
The boy was frightened and hurriedly turned around. But there was no one behind him. Jiao's voice changed positions, and sounded from behind him again, "Human, you can't look at me directly, turn around and look at the canvas." ”
What's the situation?
Zhou Qingfeng was stunned and stunned, and turned his head stiffly. On the canvas is a goddess bathing. A white and slender hand with a fragrant fragrance stretched out from the back of his neck, pointed to the position on his chest on the canvas and said, "I am wrong here, the curve should be bigger." ”
