What Stephen said, Yang Yinuan can also understand.

But he didn't understand why the giants would find them.

"And once this metaverse is established, it will be equivalent to these big companies, creating a new 3D social scene."

"In the past, people could socialize through a piece of software, through text or pictures."

"But now, it's like people living in a virtual space where they can socialize face-to-face."

"But in this way, there is another problem, that is, after all people enter this virtual world."

"You all need to have one, or more, virtual avatars of yourself."

"And this kind of virtual doppelganger can't appear out of thin air!"

When Stephen said this, Yang Yinuan seemed to gradually understand what he was going to say.

And his eyes, with Stephen's explanation, began to gradually become excited.

"And this kind of virtual online world is different from traditional video games in the past."

"In video games, there are only a few kinds of characters who recognize things."

"Gamers can only choose between the characters that the game company has launched."

"And even with individual modifications, the scope for improvement is very small."

"After entering the era of the metaverse, this model of traditional game companies setting characters for players to choose can no longer adapt to this era."

"All players want to have their own personality in the virtual world."

"For example, if a player goes out to a formal occasion, he may want a more business-like and formal appearance."

"But if the player enters the game, he may be a three-meter-tall robot."

"Or, when he lives in an ancient scene, he can also be a tribal warrior."

"This means that in our real world, even if only 100 million people can afford to play the metaverse."

"Then in the metaverse, there may be more than a billion, or even billions of different characters."

"And these characters can be purchased by the player from the store, or they can be made by DIY themselves."

"But in the beginning, I think they all need to be bought from web developers."

"And in this way, creating the image of these virtual characters needs to be done by someone, or a company can do it."

Stephen said this, Yang Yinuan could no longer control his excitement.

"I see, they're here to work with us, and I hope we can help them create enough virtual avatars!"

Stephen smiled and nodded: "That's right, they are interested in the artificial intelligence program in our hands, and the driving engine." ”

"After all, if you want to create more than a billion personal images, it is definitely impossible to draw them by people alone, and there must be artificial intelligence to help here."

Stephen affirmed Yang Yinuan's inference, and Yang Yinuan waved his fist in the air: "yes!"

"But aren't these aspects being studied by the Stars and Stripes?"

Yang Yinuan feels a little incredible, after all, those multinational manufacturers have been promoting the metaverse for more than a day or two.

Could it be that in the creation of these virtual characters, they don't have any technical reserves at all?

"Ha, I've also checked, in fact, they already have the technology in this area."

"For example, they first created a website called This Thing Doesn't Exist, and it was full of faces and pictures of cats."

"And these people and cats are not real, but they are all drawn by AI."

"Later, a large manufacturer launched a Pifuhd algorithm, with this algorithm, they can directly make a 2D image of the picture into a 3D image."

"To put it bluntly, it is to turn a flat painting into a three-dimensional sculpture through this set of algorithms."

"After that, there was I2L-mesh

et algorithm, this step can put the 3D sculpture by entering a few motion parameters. ”

"To make these sculptures move, to put it bluntly, is to make the 3D virtual characters move according to the effect you want......"

When Yang Yinuan heard this, he basically understood the basic principles of the establishment of some characters in the metaverse.

"It's just that their latest technology ends here."

"So far, although they are constantly improving, the virtual characters that may be made, and the movements of the characters are still very rough."

"It's not pixel-level realism at all, which means that the virtual person you can see is very blurry, and even once the virtual character moves, it may drop frames......"

"Don't mention any user experience for such virtual characters, if players see that they are like this in the virtual world, it is estimated that many people will directly ask the merchant for a refund and delete the account......"

"That's why the big companies came to us, and they needed us to help them build virtual network characters..."

Hearing Stephen say this, Yang Yinuan said that this time he completely understood.

"It's just that those big factories can't handle it, so they want to outsource?"

Stephen smiled and nodded: "That's right, it can be understood this way. ”

"And what kind of price will they give?"

Yang Yinuan's heart is beating very hard at this time, because he knows that these foreign-funded Internet giants are well-known big dogs.

All of them are rich thieves, and they casually peek out of their fingers.

It's enough for them to eat.

"Well, so far, it's only a preliminary contact, and several manufacturers have asked us to provide some portraits of virtual characters in the past."

"They wanted to do a test, and we did what they asked us to do, and we made some avatars for them and sent them over."

"I believe that in the next few days, they will send people over to negotiate!"

Stephen is confident in his technology, after all, he designed the artificial intelligence program used in the studio, as well as the driving engine.

"These Internet giants have always had a lot of appetite, and if they come, they are likely to offer to buy our studio."

"Otherwise, I hope to take a stake in our studio, what do you think of it then?"

Yang Yinuan is very aware of the urine properties of these large fields.

Don't look at the propaganda on the Internet about these big fields, I think they are all very friendly and harmless to humans and animals.

But in fact, when it really comes to their interests, these guys can immediately transform into hungry wolves who eat people and don't spit out bones.

"Ha, I just want to be a free contractor, I'm not interested in being recruited and recruited!"
