The Creator of the Second Dimension

"Wow, I'm still worried that it won't taste good."

Li Ruoxuan put her hands on her chest, as if relieved from a heavy burden.

Then he stretched out his chopsticks and took a bite of his tomato scrambled eggs.

"wait"

Xu Rui wanted to stop Li Ruoxuan, but the other party had already put the plain-looking fried rice with eggs into his mouth, chewed it, and swallowed it into his stomach.

"Well, it seems that the taste is a bit ordinary."

She said reminiscently.

"???"

Xu Rui looked at Li Ruoxuan as if he had just eaten a mouthful of ordinary tomato scrambled eggs, feeling a little dazed.

Is the indescribable food I just ate just an illusion?

He glanced at the scrambled egg with tomato that was rosy in white. At this moment, the food exuded a strange texture, which formed a sharp contrast with Li Ruoxuan, who was eating lunch with a smile on his face.

Hiss, it's really terrifying.

Xu Rui sighed, and saw Yi Qianqian pack up her things and walk over.

Today, Yi Qianqian is wearing a dark blue dress with constellations and crescent moons dotted on the skirt, and a hexagram symbol on the white stockings, like a witch who is proficient in astrology. She walked into the tea room and glanced at the woman who was eating. With one glance at Li Ruoxuan, she sat down beside Xu Rui.

"Ah, Qianqian is here, try my tomato scrambled eggs."

Li Ruoxuan greeted warmly, Xu Rui's evaluation seemed to give her great confidence in her cooking skills, and she pushed her lunch box to Yi Qianqian.

Yi Qianqian didn't say anything, picked up her chopsticks, and took a bite of tomato scrambled eggs.

"."

Xu Rui observed secretly, and found that Yi Qianqian didn't seem to be showing anything special, and she was still calm.

However, she never stretched her chopsticks into Li Ruoxuan's food since then.

At the end of the lunch, Li Ruoxuan had already finished the food in the bowl, and she was extremely satisfied. She was not in a hurry to pack the tableware, but asked with her chin resting as if thinking of something.

"Actually, I didn't quite understand this morning. What are Deng Shixin and Mr. An Yuan arguing about?"

Li Ruoxuan glanced outside the tea room. During the lunch break, some people were lying on the table to take a nap, while others were wearing earphones and watching the screen.

"Well, this can be regarded as a long-standing dispute in the animation industry."

Xu Rui also ate almost the same, so he simply put down his chopsticks and left the rest of the dishes to Yi Qianqian.

"CG is an animation made by computer. It usually refers to 3D animation in production. The producer first builds the 3D model of the object in the software, then adjusts the viewing angle and trajectory, and calculates the fragments with software. After 2D rendering, the It can be used in animation."

He explained in as simple words as possible to prevent Li Ruoxuan, who doesn't know much about animation production, from being confused.

"To put it simply, for example, in the section we discussed today, using CG to present is to make a motorcycle model first, and then let it move according to our ideas, and capture the trajectory through the camera. The advantage of this is that only the modeling in the early stage After finishing, you can quickly get the clips of various movements of this motorcycle, and the production speed is extremely fast."

"Wow, in that case, wouldn't it be possible to use CG for the entire animation?"

Li Ruoxuan suddenly remembered that she seemed to have seen similar animations, so she asked.

"That's right, Jingping's Neverland Studio is a company specializing in the production of CG animations, such as "Car Wars" and "Snowman Wars". You may have seen them in movie theaters."

Xu Rui thought for a while and said.

"What do you think of these animations?"

"Well, it seems that the overall movement is very smooth, but there is a weird feeling, which is different from the usual animation."

Li Ruoxuan recalled that she actually watched it when she was in college. The works of Neverland Studio are aimed at younger audiences. Usually, parents take their children to the cinema to watch it.

"This involves the difference between full animation and limited animation. Let me wash the dishes first."

Seeing that Yi Qianqian had finished eating, Xu Rui picked up the bowl to wash, and Li Ruoxuan followed.

"Wash together and wash together."

Intrigued by Xu Rui, she followed in small steps and washed her lunch box in another sink.

"Generally speaking, the basis of all movie animation is the phenomenon of persistence of vision of the human eye, which is the combination of static pictures with more than 25 frames per second. 24 frames, from which came the sayings like one shot one, one shot two, ah, the name of the "Weekly Twenty-Four Frames" in the middle school hall comes from this."

Xu Rui squeezed a little detergent into the lunch box, and carefully wiped the surface with a sponge.

"One shot means that the picture is different for each frame, one shot for two means that every two frames are different, and one shot for three means that the picture is the same for three consecutive frames. Generally speaking, all animations are shot one time, and our TV Most of the animations broadcast on the Internet are based on one shot, three one, two shots."

"One shot three, um, isn't that only 8 frames per second? Doesn't it seem very laggy?"

Li Ruoxuan thought of the scene of playing games when she was in college. The 8-frame game screen can already be called a slideshow, but she didn't feel this way when watching animations.

"It can't be said that if you use one shot and one technique, then an action will pass quickly, and it will be difficult to leave an impression on the audience, but if you take three shots, the same picture will last for a long time. If combined with one If you shoot two and one and shoot one, there will be a change in the rhythm of the movement."

Xu Rui washed a bowl, turned it upside down and put it aside to dry.

"For example, the combination of slow motion and normal shots similar to movies, such as describing a person throwing a fist, can describe the details in slow motion during the punching process, and use normal shots to express strength at the moment of contact with the object And speed, that's the rhythm of animation."

"That said, it seems to be true."

Li Ruoxuan briefly recalled the battle scenes in the animation she watched recently, and it seems that there is indeed a similar application.

"In the words of the industry, the method of one shot three can emphasize the role of the original painting, presenting a picture with a sense of oppression instead of a soft, pointless animation like one shot one."

Xu Rui finished washing all the bowls, wrung out the sponge, put it aside, and washed his hands with hand sanitizer.

"Of course, to put it this way, it was only a last resort to save production costs at the beginning. After all, saving original paintings saves money, and it can produce animations in larger batches. Now it has gradually become a into the mainstream."

He laughed self-deprecatingly, and continued.

"Because of the production method, most of the CG animations are full animations. Most of the movies you watch like "Cars" are full animations one shot at a time. The overall action will show a feeling of weakness. , the difference between CG and painting is here."
