Chapter 45: Suddenly a clover came out
"Xinlang Technology Channel? Please sign here. This is the conference card, and this..."
The public relations specialist at the reception desk handed Luo Xiang the badge and envelope, pinched the thickness of the envelope, and Luo Xiang sighed inwardly, two pink tickets. No wonder the editor-in-chief gave him this errand. The protagonist of this press conference should not be the famous Mengzhen Company, but the illusion company that didn't know what origins.
Before the meeting began, a group of casually dressed young people were plundering drinks and fruits. At first glance, they were college students who had never seen many worlds. The eyes that looked at her were also dodging, which made Luo Xiang's heart roll with two completely different emotions.
One is a strong sense of superiority. Although she has only graduated for two or three years, she is not in the same world as these young men. The other is a bit contempt and helpless. She invites a group of college students to take charge of the people. What else can there be in this press conference? At that time, she can only send the press releases and there is no room for her to play.
"Panwang Daguan is becoming more and more like a vegetable market..."
Luo Xiang gracefully held the high-legged wine glass, glanced at the people coming and going, and sighed as if standing on the clouds.
There was no video team coming today. According to the habit of the reporter, he should sit on the outermost side of the front row seats to facilitate cameras and ask questions. Luo Xiang felt that there was no need to be serious about this press conference, so he shrank to the middle of the back row and prepared to take a nap until the end of the meeting.
It feels really good to have fishing men and college students on both sides. She recalled her student days a few years ago. The school beauties have now lost their youth and the years are not forgiving. Two young boys sitting next to her, who are under 20 years old have been looking at her secretly and don’t even dare to call her. Isn’t it just that they are suppressed by their aura?
Wearing sunglasses and just about to close our eyes to rest, we saw a pair of little men and women who were also college students sitting in the front row holding hands. The boy was ordinary, with a bookish look on his face and a little familiar. The girl also wore big sunglasses. Looking at her outfit as a Taobao product, she was not even as good as her own taste. She was definitely not a star.
Luo Xiang raised his phone and took a photo, and wrote, "This press conference is no longer a vegetable market but a school cafeteria, and there are all those who show their love." He posted the photos on meager and continued to take a nap.
"The Cactus engine! It must be the Cactus engine! The Cactus was exposed two days ago."
"Damn it, it's done with automatic molding!"
"It's probably just for the press conference to be temporarily kicked out. You see, there are still many empty corners, which have not been completely adjusted."
"Didn't it be related to the add-on card? Why did such awesome thing pop up all of a sudden?"
It took about ten minutes to fall asleep. The two little boys sitting next to him woke Luo Xiang up. She glared at her unhappy, but found that everyone else was staring at the stage.
"Scanning with the Dream Magic Mirror on your mobile phone is still lacking some details, but don't worry, Dream Zhen will further optimize it to ensure that the scanning effect meets general applications. If higher precision effects are required, Dream Zhen will also provide professional 3D scanning solutions to connect to the Aquarium engine. In this regard, Dream Zhen has a decade of technical background."
The show on the stage was Zhang Zhicheng, chairman and CEO of Mengzhen Company. He was scanning a car model with his mobile phone. The first thing that appeared on the screen was the Mengzhen 3D model that everyone is already familiar with. It looks quite rough when enlarged several times. The wheels and rounded corners are obviously made of polygons, and the bumps and undulations are extremely stiff because of the polygon modeling. In addition, the images taken are used to directly map the details of the car body are blurred.
There was a computer on one side of the podium. After Zhang Zhicheng finished scanning, he typed the key on the keyboard and the model began to change. Starting from the rear of the car, the map disappeared in sections, leaving only the outline frame of the model, and tiny particles like gravel were poured into the model, as if they were transformed into magic, assembled into the car in sections.
When the picture is enlarged, you can see that each particle of "gravel" is a ball, corresponding to each detail of the car model, with different colors and materials. When the picture is reduced, you can see the parts that have been assembled. Not only is the details realistic, but the luster is also almost the same as the real model. The characteristics of metal, plastic, and glass are quite distinct.
This, what is this...
Seeing a 3D model with details close to the real ones rotating on the screen, Luo Xiang opened his mouth in surprise. This is really a 3D modeling on-site? It’s impossible. How can a car model be modeled in less than ten minutes? This must be a demonstration video they have already done!
"Sorry, I thought everyone would bring up something like a cell phone, but after saying big talk, it couldn't be done within three minutes."
Zhang Zhicheng apologized and handed the car model to the young man next to the stage. The young man looked like Luo Xiang's colleague. When he took the model, he shook his head repeatedly: "This is impossible, this is simply magic!"
It was really a live scanning modeling. Luo Xiang regretted it a little. He knew he shouldn't have taken a nap, so she never missed this opportunity to scan her face.
Zhang Zhicheng continued: "The ideal of Mengzhen Magic Mirror is to move reality into the virtual world, but the traditional 3D modeling technology makes the effect of Mengzhen Magic Mirror not satisfactory. Until now, the magic mirror is only used to roughly display. To have a better effect, it takes more time and more money. The release of the Amusu Engine of the Phantom Company has given the realization of Mengzhen Idea. In the demonstration just now, Mengzhen Magic Mirror is just a door, and there is another person in the magician inside the door."
"On behalf of Mengzhen Company, I am honored to introduce to you the protagonist of today's press conference: Phantom Company! It is Phantom Company's efforts that allow us to make the virtual world more realistic. Please invite - Mr. Wu Sihao, General Manager of Huaxia District, Phantom Company!"
An ordinary middle-aged man came to the stage and seemed to have never experienced any big battles and was still very reserved.
"Can he do it..."
"I told you to join you but you didn't want to..."
"Just think about putting my model for everyone, open the door! Let me see if you deleted it!"
"Even if the documents are gone, the memories are still there... don't be angry, who made you accidentally?"
The young couple in front muttered Luo Xiang's unclear words, which was a little annoyed.
"Five shrimps! It turns out that he went to have sex with the illusion!"
"Where is Jialika? He is the gold medal answerer of Jialika on the cactus. Why don't you mention this?"
"Old man, don't be old, you will definitely say that, otherwise why should we ask the testers of the lift card?"
"I know what you're thinking about. Use the magic mirror to scan a girl's paper, and then use Alfalou to make a silicone doll! Lao Kang, don't be so thirsty."
The two little boys next to him were nagging about the hormonal aura, and Luo Xiang was slightly dizzy. It was not because she was fumigated, but she vaguely felt that a corner of reality was collapsing, and she hadn't figured out what was going on.
Wu Sihao's explanation is very academic, with dense data, graphics and tables on the PPT. Although Luo Xiang has been in the IT circle for two or three years, he still can hear the seven orifices and the six orifices.
Seeing other reporters slapped at PPT with their mobile phone cameras and tapped on the computer, she glanced at the two little boys and muttered in a very obvious voice: "How is this Amusu, what's so amazing..."
Sure enough, the little boy, who was called "Old Taoist" by his companion, came up and explained: "It's very simple. Isn't the real world composed of molecules and atoms? Avalokiteski Engine sets things into particles larger than molecules in the virtual space, and then uses these particles to assemble things."
Luo Xiang thought for a while before asking again: "Didn't the car model just now take tens of millions or more particles? Is the hardware possible?"
Another person named "Lao Kang" shrugged, "Aren't you talking about this?"
Sure enough, Wu Sihao's PPT on the stage turned a page and it was something similar to a graphics card.
The old Taoist said excitedly: "Gallika!"
"That's not," Lao Kang corrected: "Where is a CPU installed, or four ARMs, the architecture should be the same as the afterburner card."
Only then did Luo Xiang remember something, Jialika, wasn't it the cicada moved? My colleagues have been talking about this thing these two days, saying that they were arguing with Intel and even Moore's Law. Someone bought a piece and recommended it as soon as they saw it.
Isn’t this talking about the Dream Real Magic Mirror? What does it have to do with Jiali Card?
What Wu Sihao continued to talk about was easy to understand. Not only Luo Xiang and the two little boys, but others also listened attentively.
The Dream Magic Mirror shows how to use the Amusu engine to quickly model. What are the advantages of using the Amusu engine to model and what applications can it have?
The biggest advantage is that the cost of 3D technology is greatly reduced. In the past, 3D technology had to be modeled with MAYA, 3DMAX or other special tools. Those who could use these tools were all professionals. If you don’t learn for a few years, you still have to have an art foundation. Now it’s different. You can model quickly and intuitively through 3D scanners and details. You don’t even have to go to a three-month fast-track. Of course, to do things that are not in reality, you have to slowly pinch it yourself, but it’s faster than using those software. After all, the principle is just like playing with clay.
In addition to talents, in the past, 3D production, from modeling, dynamics to rendering, had to use motion capture or even expression capture when it involved anthropomorphic actions. Not to mention the time, the cost was very high, and it was a completely money-burning industry.
Back then, Blizzard made the opening CG of the World of Warcraft expansion "The Lich King", which cost 20 million US dollars in 198 seconds, 100,000 US dollars per second. Although the technology has improved a little now, the money is not worth much, and the cost still cannot be reduced. The last expansion "The Pantheon", which had a opening CG of 130 seconds, cost 10 million US dollars, which is still 80,000 US dollars per second.
If you use the Alfal Engine to make 3D-CG, you will save most of the time first, and the producer can focus on more detailed effects, which will be more realistic than the current CG.
In addition to modeling, another technical innovation of the Aquarius Engine is to save the rendering process. The biggest part of time and cost of 3D technology is rendering. Rendering is equivalent to assembling and integrating various parts such as models, light and shadow, dynamic effects and special effects. Once the parts are wrong, you have to do it again. A two or three-second shot in a 3D cartoon will take several days or even more than ten days to render. This has led to the rendering farm industry, which uses supercomputers to render.
The principle of the Alfon Engine is to truly reproduce objects and scenes, and various details and special effects can be directly implemented in the scene, so there is no need to render this link.
Wu Sihao claims that compared with traditional 3D technology, the Aosu engine can save 80% of time and 70% of cost.
In addition to the innovation of time and rendering, the business model of Aosu Engine is not simply authorized to use, but is built into an open and general platform. People can freely create and trade 3D models, motion, materials and other feature modules on the platform, and can develop various detailed functions.
Wu Sihao also introduced that commercial users, such as 3D animation institutions, can completely abandon the expensive special effects software in the past, and no longer spend high rents to do rendering, but in-depth development through commercial versions provided by Aosu, which will have a more refined performance in particle size, hierarchical modeling and various characteristics.
Speaking of applications, there is 3D where there is a lumbar.
3D-CG, 3D cartoons, and 3D special effects in the film and television and advertising industry are a big part.
Needless to mention the game, in addition to general 3D games, there are also VR games, and using Aquarius to make VR is a unique combination.
In the fields of construction, machinery and even aerospace, the use of the Aquarius engine can provide more realistic simulation scenarios, allowing more links in these industries to enter the digital field.
The prospects in the medical industry are also very impressive. Aosu can create a "virtual human" model with a molecular level that is realistic, providing more powerful digital tools for medicine. For example, using this virtual human model, coupled with VR technology, medical schools can conduct simulated surgery training, and even conduct simulation drills before the real surgery.
These things were thrown out, and the venue was always silent. Most people were shocked and dumb. This is a subversion of the entire 3D industry! The cost of doing 3D animation is only one-third of the time, and the time is only one-fifth of the time. This is really...
"marvelous!"
This is the voice of people who do CG or cartoons or film and television special effects.
"Do you still want to live?"
This is the voice of people who sell 3D software, servers and make a living by traditional 3D technology.
The silence continued, Luo Xiang finally couldn't help but stand up and woke everyone up with a word: "The Lusu engine sounds really good, but can the hardware be realized? The car model just now had at least hundreds of millions of particles, and even the server could not complete such a large amount of calculations, right?"
Asking questions before the questioning session was about to be a very destructive atmosphere, but after this question, others agreed and soon gathered into a tide of voice.
"It's too much of a fool...hehe..."
Luo Xiang's face was flushed, which was proud of the questioning that he had brought about and the questioning that hit the Mingmen. His face was very good! After returning, the editor will definitely praise him for making the channel look better!
The two little boys next to him looked at her and muttered again.
"Has Lao Wu even found a tutor?"
"I couldn't see it just now..."
The boy in the front row looked back at her and gave her a thumbs up, making Luo Xiang's feeling of stepping on the clouds even stronger.
Wu Sihao smiled and nodded, "This question is very good! The number of particles in the car model just now is actually more than one billion..."
Everyone was talking, Luo Xiang's face turned redder. What's wrong with poor math? You can deny it with this!
Then Wu Sihao admitted Luo Xiang's statement: "Although the existing hardware can be realized, it is obviously uneconomic and unrealistic."
Before everyone could make noise, Luo Xiang asked, and Wu Sihao said again: "This is what I will continue to talk about. The hardware part of the rumor. Sorry, PPT has already turned it over. I just went wrong."
The venue became quiet again, and countless people were complaining, and if you just want to kill a business if you ask for a question!
When I turned my attention back to the PPT, I looked at the thing similar to the graphics card, everyone was confused. After working on it for a long time, Lu Su was not a software, but a complete set of software and hardware.
