Endless darkness, infinite silence.

The noisy sound of the venue is isolated, only the amplified breathing sound from the earphones here, as if I am in a different dimension from the outside world.

Lu Xiaochan discovered for the first time that such a strong sense of immersion can be achieved with just a pair of sound-proof headphones and a breathing sound effect.

There was a beam of light above her head, and the light gradually replaced the darkness. When her vision was restored, she found herself standing on an old mottled stone bridge.

Under the bridge, there is a clear brook flowing, dozens of fish swimming in the water, and the stream hitting the rocks makes a ringing sound... No, where did the ringing sound come from?

Lu Xiaochan raised her head, and saw two men in wide-sleeved robes walking towards the bridge, one in blue and one in white, both of them looked contented, and turned a blind eye to her on the bridge.

As he approached, he heard the man in white say slowly, "The minnows travel leisurely, which is the joy of fish."

The vernacular translation and English subtitles appeared simultaneously below the field of vision.

Another person said: "Zi is not a fish, how do you know the joy of fish?"

The man in white clapped his hands and laughed, "Hahaha, it's not me, how do you know that I don't know the joy of fish?"

The man in blue shook his head and said, "I don't know the son, and the son is not a fish."

Speaking of this, the two just walked up to Lu Xiaochan, and the man in white seemed to have finally seen her, pointed at her and said with a smile, "Anzhi Yule? I know—"

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and pushed her off the bridge.

Lu Xiaochan's pupils shrank suddenly, and there was no time to react. The world in front of her eyes had been turned upside down.

The overly realistic visual presentation gave her a real feeling of being upside down, as if she was really falling on her back, and her heartstrings suddenly tightened.

At this time, I heard a man's hearty laughter from the shore:

"I know this too!"

Zheng——

The background music suddenly opened up.

Pipa and qin Xiao played one after another, as if a net was intertwined in the space, and she fell in the net... The world in front of her eyes began to be broken and reorganized, but the reappearing scene was a desert.

When the upward viewing angle changes to a flat viewing angle, the feeling of falling disappears.Lu Xiaochan felt that she was still falling on her back last second, but she stood up steadily this second.

The magical experience brought by the visual effects is fully demonstrated in this transition from looking up to looking up.

The field of vision is still constantly receding. In the distance is the long river, the setting sun and the desert, and the nearby desert is the desert.Suddenly, a woman in a thin dress and long skirt with a light gauze ribbon appeared in the desert.

Beautifully colored women appeared from behind and even from above their heads one by one.They are dancing the same dance, or holding the guqin, or the pipa, or pointing their toes to the ground, or flying across the sky, gradually drifting away with the scattered ceiling and light curtains.

The huge red sun, the vast desert, and an extremely beautiful dance, this scene blends hotness, desolation, lightness, brilliance, strong light and shadow, and diffuse soft focus. The soul, however, cannot be grasped, leaving permanent regrets in people's hearts.

Lu Xiaochan really couldn't help stretching out her hand.

The moment she stretched out her hand, the scene changed. Dances, women, and musical instruments all solidified and turned into mottled stone walls. The stone walls stretched out, turning into a grotto, an ancient city...

"It's so beautiful..." Lu Xiaochan was about to shed tears, "Dunhuang Feitian."

As soon as my hand touched the stone wall, I saw that the mural changed its appearance, from a flying sky to a street market.

The murals are gradually disappearing, but the street market in the paintings has become real around us.

This is an extremely bustling ancient city, full of people bustling with each other.Those carrying loads, driving cars, and hurrying with packs in their hands may frown, laugh, glare, or have mischievous eyes...they are in different poses and with different expressions.The sounds coming from the ears are also extremely rich, such as the sound of conversation, hawking, footsteps, the sound of running water in the distant river, the shouting of the trackers on the river... all kinds of mundane things, all the sounds of the world, are all in it.

The place where I fell in was facing a steamed bun shop, and the hot steam of the steamed buns rose up, creating a white mist in front of my eyes, which was so realistic that it was no different from reality.

If the scene just now was beautiful, the present scene is true.

So true.

She had a guess in her mind, so she raised her head and searched for a high place, and she saw a person who was painting by an attic window.

At the same time that her eyes caught this person, her perspective also began to rise. The city below her body was getting smaller and smaller, and the distant scenery was panoramic.

She flew to the window and saw that the man was sketching carefully with a pen.A five-meter-long silk belt was spread on the ground and looped around him three times.

At this moment in history, perhaps even the painter himself does not know what kind of masterpiece he is creating——

Qingming River Picture!

The scroll unfolded, wrapping in front of Lu Xiaochan like a ribbon, blocking her view.

When the scrolls were unwrapped, another scene changed in front of my eyes.

The music changed accordingly.

The music of Feitian is simple and desolate string music, and the music of Shanghe Tu during the Qingming Festival is soft and light silk and bamboo, but this part is a magnificent epic symphony.

In the magnificent palace, an old lady wearing jewels and emerald dresses is smiling from ear to ear at a black and white photo.

Outside the palace, the opium dens were filled with smoke, the Old Summer Palace was being burned, some people were massacred, and some held high flags...

Lu Xiaochan stood there, and the scene around her kept changing.

Treaties, slogans, coups, revolutions, youth uprisings, separatist wars, the first shot fired in Nanchang, the second shot fired in Jinggangshan, September 30, Marco Polo Bridge, [-] miles across mountains and mountains, [-] people disappeared with the wind, Cannon fire, surrender agreement, full liberation... The music became more and more magnificent, and when it reached the final climax, the picture was frozen on the tower of the Communist Party of China.

Standing in the crowd, looking up at the top of the tower, the corners of her eyes were already wet.

Lu Xiaochan never dreamed that she could go back to this day in history and witness this event with her own eyes.

The flashback scenes are displayed in front of my eyes as old black and white photos.

In just a few minutes, experience the modern history of China.

The background sound gradually quieted down, the screen went dark, and the subtitles appeared.

"We always want to record something."

"Pure beauty, the truth of the moment, something never to be forgotten."

In Lu Xiaochan's trance, the picture returned to the beginning.

It's still the stone bridge, the same stream, and the fish are still playing in the water.

The man in white leaned against the tree by the bridge and fell asleep, snoring slightly.

The field of vision automatically zoomed in, and she fell headlong into the... dream of the man in white.

The dream was blank at first, with a beautiful butterfly fluttering up and down in it.With the flapping of butterfly wings, the scene gradually takes shape and color.

In the pure white space, faint grid lines appear first, and then surging waveforms appear. The waveforms gradually unify and become one pixel after another. When centered, it forms a chip shape.

"This is the history of the development of graphics." Lu Xiaochan discovered in surprise.

From oscilloscopes to visualization, from cathode ray tubes to raster displays, to GPUs.

The chip is enlarged in front of the eyes, and it becomes the horizon under the feet, and data code streams rise up from the ground, which are the statements of OpenGL and directX.

The grid-like ground began to undulate, and the vibrating waves made the vision shake.

A high mountain gradually rises and is pulled away, the land becomes uneven, a ditch appears in the middle, and then water is filled in the ditch, a stone bridge stands, grass is covered with the ground, and towering trees are pulled up in the grass.

The butterfly flew under the tree and turned into a sleeping man in white, so the scene returned to the way it was before falling into a dream.

The man in white woke up with a faint trance in his eyes.

He looked towards the edge of the water, and suddenly jumped, turning into a swimming fish in the water.

The background music suddenly became high-pitched, and in the fast-paced romantic ditty, the sight was drawn by this swimming fish.People seem to fly, soaring in the air following the trail of the fish, watching the fish swim out of the creek and into the river.Its speed is getting faster and faster, jumping through the turbulent waves, the huge waves, rapids, and high-pitched music push him, making it rush into the sea unstoppably.

The moment he entered the sea, the background music stopped abruptly.

The intense emotions seemed to subside in an instant, leaving only the blue, calm and endless sea in sight.

One second, two seconds, three seconds...

silence.

bang!

The magnificent epic sounded, and the soul-shattering chant echoed in my ears. The calm sea suddenly stirred up thousands of miles of waves, and the Kunpeng rushed out of the water and soared upwards.

The angle of view zooms out rapidly, and only the huge creatures can be seen. The world suddenly becomes vast and infinite, but people are just a grain of sand in it.

The moment the big fish soared into the sky, the picture hits the heart directly, as if some heavy things in the heart have dissipated, and people just want to follow this huge creature to travel freely between heaven and earth.

What a vast and wonderful experience this is!

Just when Lu Xiaochan's emotions reached their peak, the scene closed, and the big fish, the world, and everything turned into a speck of ink in the empty space.

A line of writing appeared in front of my eyes.

"We always want to create something."

"A utopia that can't be found, a dream that can't be realized, and an infinitely wonderful world."

The ink dots spread and flow, turning into wisps of smoke, and the smoke turned into incomprehensible codes.

A line of words appeared in the code.

"Origin Graphical Program Interface"

"Between the keyboard, touch the world."

The code escapes, turning back into smoke.The mist condensed again and turned into something else.

a chip.

"New Zhuang Zhou Architecture Graphics Chip"

"For you, define the world."

Everyone was immersed in the shock, unable to recover for a long time.

I didn't even notice that the screen went dark and brightened again.

When they woke up, they found that they had returned to the original small ancient building.

Lu Xiaochan looked at Lou Qingyan in a daze, "Did you see it?"

"See what?" The latter chuckled.

"Deep space made a chip." She turned her head and said incredulously.

Everything just now turned out to be just an advertisement.

An advertisement for a set of APIs and a chip.

Could it be, could it be that everything presented in front of you - realistic visual effects, extremely exquisite picture quality, extremely natural physics simulation and expression simulation, low latency and high frame rate... all because of a set of APIs and a single chip?

When his thoughts were chaotic, a person suddenly appeared on the round platform in the middle of the first floor.

The way this person appeared on the stage was very simple, but the first sentence he spoke was not simple. He said: "Hello everyone, I am fire."

The atmosphere suddenly warmed up.

"fire?"

Almost everyone made a move at the same time - stretching their necks, wanting to see what the man's face looks like.

After taking a closer look, I found... Isn't this the man in white in the advertisement just now?

At this moment, Fire waved his sleeves and said, "Because I want to watch the press conference with everyone, this is a virtual character whose movements have been recorded in advance."

"So he's among us now?" Lu Xiaochan was a little excited, and asked Jiang Fu, "Where is he? Do you know where he is?"

Jiang Fu: "I know."

"Ah, where is it?"

Lou Qingyan answered, smiled and said, "I won't tell you."

In the arena, I saw Fire gently waving his sleeves, shaking out several... words from the sleeves.

Those characters seem to have grown legs, jumping and jumping, jumping up into the air and lining up in mid-air, with a naive look.

After the Chinese characters were arranged obediently, Fire flicked his sleeves and threw out a bunch of English letters.The English letters fell to the ground twisted and twisted, got up, and rubbed their buttocks.

audience:"???"

Compared with the good Chinese babies, the English ones are like bear children, jumping up and down in mid-air and lined up in the air. The words that come out are full of mistakes and omissions.

"Wrong, wrong." Fire was dispatching and commanding, while shaking his sleeves desperately, shaking out the remaining nails, and kicking into the sky.

The audience burst into laughter.

After finally finishing the wording, fire said with satisfaction: "Okay, now call out who you are."

The Chinese characters said one by one: "Jiangxin Building and Deep Space Technology Product Launch Conference!"

There are some examples of English words: "j, i, a, n..."

"Enough, stop." Fire mercilessly stopped.

The audience roared with laughter again.

Laughed and couldn't help being intoxicated, this is the charm of the virtual world, everything is possible, and everything can be given life.

Fire turned around and spread his hands, "Welcome to Jiangxin Tower, this is a magical place. You can try to open your hands and read an ancient poem casually, or read to me: 'Goose, goose, song and song to the sky'. "

After reading, a swirling ink mark appeared in his open palm.The shape of the ink mark is changeable, sometimes like a fish, sometimes like a butterfly, sometimes like a bird.

Where does the crooked nut know any ancient poems, Lu Xiaochan's ears are filled with "goose goose goose".

She read a sentence when the bright moon will be there, and that ink mark also appeared on the top of her palm.

This feeling is amazing. After getting rid of the rigid handle control, all changes based on gestures are realistic, just like learning magic.

With a swipe of the fire, the ink marks on everyone's palms automatically transformed into the logo of Deep Space Technology.

"Let's cut to the chase," he said, "introducing the first product, a cross-language, cross-platform graphics API called Origin."

"Since its inception, Deep Space has been committed to the research of graphics. The first step we have taken is to deeply combine artificial intelligence with graphics, and pioneered the invention of highly usable graphics generation, automatic modeling, automatic Algorithms such as animation and smart particle effects are all implemented in the software layer, which can make it easy for users who don’t understand graphics programming to get started.”

"When we wanted to go further, we found that the software had been thoroughly researched, and the underlying engine could no longer support more advanced development."

"So we had to develop a more advanced engine, which is the origin of the terminal engine. The reason why it was named the terminal is because the engine was the last, and we were trapped again, and found that the underlying API could no longer support more advanced development. "

"So, we had to develop more advanced API algorithms, and then guess what, we were stuck with the hardware again."

Lu Xiaochan answered in a murmur, perfectly matching his voice: "GPU can no longer support more advanced development."

Fire continued: "Because the API and the chip are combined, we decided to go hand in hand with both sides. Deep Space is in charge of API development, and my partner Jiang Fu and I set up Jiangxinlou to be in charge of chip development."

He stroked his hand casually, and the ink marks on everyone's palms turned into the logo of Jiangxin Building again.

What fire said was helpless, but what is the difference between the meaning in the words and "you can get 98 points in the test without doing one fill-in-the-blank question"?

What restricts him is not his own research and development capabilities, but the ceiling that exists objectively.

That being the case, pierce the ceiling.

From software, to engine, to API, hardware, go down layer by layer, one kills one, two kills one pair, killing graphics to the bottom.

And it all happened in just one year.

In July last year, fire stepped into Los Angeles with special effects plug-ins, and three months later a storm swept the world.At that time, no one could have imagined that in less than a year, he stepped into Los Angeles again, bringing with him a chip named after a Chinese Taoist sage.

What a legend, what a boldness, what a high-spirited spirit this is.

Lu Xiaochan was almost dizzy by the fire in her brain, but it wasn't over yet.

Fire added: "We are stuck again when designing new APIs and chip architectures."

The audience was all taken aback.

The chip is already the lowest structure, what else can be trapped?Could it still be the semiconductor industry?

"Graphics," Fire said, "we are trapped by the idea of ​​graphics itself."

"What is the concept of graphics? It is to study how to turn data into graphics. It creates and records things, but does not pay attention to the essence of things, but only pursues visual expression."

"Therefore, there are many 'blindfolds' in traditional graphics. For example, the special effects of explosions are not computer-simulated explosion reactions, but images formed by the arrangement and combination of particles."

"In the era of flat-panel display, graphics is limited by hardware, so you don't have to care about the essence of things. But in the era of holographic display, AR and VR put forward strong immersion and strong interaction requirements, and traditional graphics can't keep up."

"VR needs interactive light, interactive materials, interactive physical systems, and even interactive chemical systems. Today's graphics, in order to save trouble, almost bypass these things."

"For example, if I want to make a rainbow in the scene, the current way is to specify the shape of the rainbow, and use code to complete the seven-color gradient filling. The ideal way is to directly simulate the dispersion of electromagnetic waves, so that virtual light and virtual prisms interact , thus creating a rainbow."

"As virtual reality has higher and higher requirements for strong immersion and strong interaction, the content of graphics research will also gradually approach the essence. In the future, graphics will incorporate multiple dimensions and gradually upgrade to virtual world architecture. When we really When another world is built in the computer, the graphics are just a window through which that world leads to reality.”

"From this, I want to propose the first revolution in graphics of the future."

"The graphics algorithm should abandon the blindfold method as much as possible and transform it into a method based on object interaction. Upgrade the visual effect by upgrading the internal interaction method."

He summed it up in one sentence: "Traditional graphics is magic, and future graphics is magic."

After he finished speaking, he took a short break.

All quiet.

A few seconds later, the applause broke out suddenly, resounding through the small building in the virtual world and the entire venue.

When Lou Qingyan recorded this action, he did not expect the applause to be so enthusiastic, so the pause was very short, and he spoke again before the applause ended.

"But graphics is not only creation, but also records. In order to adapt to future display terminals, the technology of graphics acquisition and processing must also be upgraded accordingly."

"Now graphics collect and process pixels. Even a panoramic camera dedicated to VR also collects pixels. But in the era of holographic display, images are not presented in pixels. So what do we collect and process?"

"Those familiar with the field may have already guessed," he said, "yes, light fields."

"A light field is a collection of all rays in space, and any one of them has seven parameters, which are three-dimensional viewpoint coordinates, horizontal and vertical viewing angles, wavelength, and time."

"Fix the viewpoint and angle of view, and calculate all the rays passing through the viewpoint under this angle of view, and then you can get the plane image seen from this point. As long as the recorded light field is complete enough, no matter how you move the angle of view, the corresponding image can be generated."

"If the computing power is strong enough to display images at 60 frames per second, you can go directly into the light field scene to browse."

"Imagine such an application: your friend takes a photo of the light field from the Forbidden City for you, and you use a VR device to enter the photo and walk freely in the Forbidden City at that moment. No matter how you change your position and perspective, you can see it to the perfect picture."

"Yes, no modeling is required, as long as the complete light field is collected, we can enter the virtual scene."

"At that time, the concept of flat photos will also disappear, and all photos are three-dimensional, and you can roam in them. What we call 'photography' today is just a 'cover' with the most perfect parameters in three-dimensional photos."

"From this, I would like to propose a second innovative direction in graphics."

"From raster graphics, which record pixels, to light-field graphics, which record light rays."

The creation of the world and the recording of the world are all said and done.

Fire slowed down a bit, and spoke again, this time the applause still didn't end.

"Whether it is creating or recording, it is a way of generating graphics. It is very interesting that in recent years, we have seen the rise of a third way of graphics generation. That is artificial intelligence."

"The third revolution in graphics in the future does not need to be repeated. Everyone here understands that artificial intelligence will replace human beings."

"This direction is the earliest that deep space is doing. Some results have been released, and some have not yet been released. I will show them in detail later."

He didn't say much about artificial intelligence, because it's a cliché.

His few simple words made many people present suddenly have a kind of enlightenment.

No wonder... No wonder Deep Space has no awareness of open source, and it doesn't care about the siege of the world, no wonder the core employees of Deep Space say that they are not artificial intelligence companies...

After the fire finished speaking in a mighty manner, artificial intelligence only took up three sentences.

Did he really care about this kind of technology that is fanatically sought after by the whole world?

Recalling the artificial intelligence achievements of deep space, in fact, most of them belong to graphics, with the exception of vocalcords and echo dubbing, but both were sold.

The profit margin of natural language processing is so large that he can sell it to others.

After completing the dubbing of the echo, it would be wise to continue to do related development, but he didn't even care about it, and turned around to work on the unprofitable terminal engine.

What does artificial intelligence mean to fire?

Is it just a tool for graphics reform?

Could it be that the siege and exclusion all over the world are actually doing the wrong thing?

Fire is devoted to graphics, but just casually inserting a foot into artificial intelligence, scaring the whole world to pee their pants... What is this?

Everyone looked at each other.

On the round platform, Fire completed his explanation.

"So, this is what I want to propose, the concept of new graphics."

"Traditional graphics, based on visual expression, based on grating, based on human power."

"Future graphics, based on internal interaction, based on light field, based on artificial intelligence."

……

All quiet.

The research content of graphics is too large and messy. People have made vague predictions about what graphics will look like in the future, but they have never been so clearly explained.

fire was the first to attempt to define the future of graphics.

If this set of definitions can really be realized, fire and his new graphics are destined to bring a huge storm to the world.

So... can it be achieved?

No need to ask again, recalling everything along the way, the answer is already clear.

Lu Xiaochan slumped on the chair, feeling that her spirit had collapsed.

"So handsome," she murmured, "God, I can, Mom, I want to marry him!"

Jiang Fu glanced at her warily.

The fire paused for a while, and the press conference was finally about to enter the final highlight.

"The concept has broken through, and we can finally design new GPUs and APIs."

He flipped his palm, and the Jiangxinlou icon in his palm changed again, becoming the icon of Origin API.

"Based on the three major directions of new graphics, we have completely refactored the traditional API, and the origin is completely different from any graphics API in the past."

"First of all, we unified and integrated the previous messy classification of graphics, and divided the new graphics into six major fields: geometric simulation, physical simulation, lighting simulation, animation simulation, chemical simulation, and data visualization."

Following his explanation, the patterns on people's palms suddenly magnified and flew in front of everyone.

Fire flipped his hands again, and the holographic image was like a docile little pet in his palm, allowing him to wave it around and change into various shapes.

At first it was simple geometry, then various spheres, and then various daily necessities, all of which were wireframe models without specific material appearance.

"Geometric simulation is to describe the geometric shape of the object. The origin API has added a new polygon algorithm, which can subdivide more polygons on a narrower surface."

The daily necessities have turned into various small animals, chubby, poking their fingers on their stomachs, and even being able to poke them softly...

"What," everyone poked and gaped, "Where is this more polygons? Where are these polygons???"

A normal curved surface should be composed of countless triangles, but the wireframe model presented in front of me seems to be a complete large curved surface. Where are the triangles?

"Origin API has created an unprecedented programmable 3d model and surface infinite subdivision technology. You heard it right, it is infinite surface subdivision. Traditional 3d models are fixed models, but programmable 3D models, the wireframe is not fixed, after programming After that, it can be changed automatically. Combining surface integral and deep learning principles, it can complete the endless subdivision of the surface, so as to achieve the ultimate geometric simulation.”

"Ory it, mother," Lu Xiaoyu kneeling just after listening to the first one, "What kind of fairy algorithm is this fuck, ah ah !!"

"Of course, the infinite subdivision of surfaces requires extremely high hardware requirements, and is only suitable for high-precision visualization, high-definition movies, aerospace and other fields."

After Fire finished speaking, he stretched his five fingers together, and the holographic pattern changed again, turning into a large stream of water.

"In terms of physical simulation, Origin does not have separate parts such as rigid body, soft body, fluid, and collision detection. Instead, it has established a complete mechanical simulation system based on the concept of deepening internal interaction with new graphics."

"In the mechanics engine of Origin API, you don't even need to learn programming, you can simulate the physical state of an object just by drawing a force analysis diagram."

In the surprised eyes of everyone, the water flow turned into a small ball, and a three-dimensional virtual coordinate axis was extended from the center of the ball. The mechanical units of 5N and 10N were marked on the coordinate axis for reference.

Lu Xiaochan had goosebumps all over her body. As a game developer, she knew what this function meant.

She stretched out her hand cautiously, and drew a force of [-] Newtons diagonally above the ball.

The moment you click OK, the ball flies out obliquely.

Unexpectedly, it is really possible!

"The dynamics simulation function of the Genesis API can be used to complete professional mechanical design. In a more complex force-bearing system, the force vector calculation is performed at each point of the object, thereby simulating the most realistic force state."

The holographic patterns turned into different stress scenes again, cloth, steel, rubber, smoke...everything is extremely realistic, and there is almost no difference from the real stress situation.

The third lighting simulation is ray tracing and light field. He briefly talked about it, and then moved on to the next item.

"Animation simulation is one of the most proud technologies of the origin API. We have seen that after solving ray tracing, rigid animation has become the biggest heart disease in graphics. Many games with extremely high image quality still lack realism. The reason is that the characters His expressions and movements are too stiff."

"In the case of not being able to manually adjust frame by frame, is there any way to improve the accuracy of animation-yes, it is artificial intelligence."

The holographic image changed again and became a human face with vivid expressions.

"It may be hard for you to believe that this is an animation created through expression capture, but it is, without any adjustments, just done through the most common depth camera."

"What?" There was another exclamation from the crowd.

High-precision facial expression capture can't be so natural, let alone only through a depth camera?The animation in front of me is as realistic as if there is a real person standing opposite and winking, but fire says it's just expression capture? ?

Fire continued: "We use the camera to collect the rough facial expressions of the characters, enhance the data based on deep learning, and finally optimize the expressions to the point where they are indistinguishable from reality. This technology is not only applied to expressions, it can be applied to All animations, bringing virtual characters to life."

"Moreover, this technology can give virtual characters 'temperament'. If the training data is an elegant posture, the posture of the virtual character will also become elegant. When used on yourself, your expressions or actions will also have corresponding The subtle changes in the virtual space make you more temperamental."

"We predict that in the future, 'temperament' will become a hot commodity in the virtual world." Fire joked, "Will there be such a thing as 'male god's same temperament'? I don't know. .”

Everyone laughed, and someone shouted: "I must buy your temperament!"

Fire laughed: "After the animation simulation, let's talk about the original chemical simulation of the origin API."

"Chemical simulation, isn't it simulating chemical reactions in a computer?"

Before everyone finished expressing their doubts, fire said: "Chemical simulation is not simulating chemical reactions. Of course, its ultimate pursuit may be like this, but it is not at this stage."

"We define physical simulations as state changes, and chemical simulations as changes in matter."

"The chemical simulation function of the origin API can complete simple material changes such as rust, corrosion, combustion, explosion, freezing, and gasification. They can bring richer interactions to the game scene."

In the end, fire did not forget to borrow a certain masterpiece to advertise itself, "Have you ever been amazed by the open world of Zelda? With the origin API, every game can have the same rich scene interaction as Zelda. "

The last is data visualization. After a brief chat about the optimization of the visualization algorithm, the characteristics of the origin API are finally fully presented to the world.

It's so powerful, so magical.

Based on the three major concepts of new graphics, the traditional graphics algorithm is completely disassembled and reconstructed.

Geometric simulation and animation simulation show the advantages of artificial intelligence to the extreme.

Lighting simulation, physical simulation, and chemical simulation almost all abandon traditional algorithms and create new algorithms based on object interaction.

The lighting simulation also includes a light field algorithm, which performs various deformations on the seven-dimensional plenoptic function, creating a powerful light field application ecosystem.At present, the light field acquisition technology is not yet developed, and the light field calculation of the origin API has been several years ahead.

The audience experienced one shock after another today. They thought that their psychological endurance was already strong, but when the complete idea of ​​the origin API was presented in front of them, they were still shocked to the point of numbness.

It would be fine if it's just an innovation of the API, but it's not just an API, it's essentially the new graphics proposed by fire!A new discipline!

Concepts, architectures, and algorithms that are completely different from traditional graphics!

A set of graphics interfaces that surpass OpenGL and DirectX in an all-round way!

Once the origin comes out, how will OpenGL and DirectX handle themselves?

All computer graphics in the world are based on these two graphics interfaces. Are they going to be eliminated?

This ridiculous question arose in everyone's mind at the same time.

Even more absurdly, the answer is yes.

If the two major APIs do not upgrade themselves in time, it will only be a matter of time before they are replaced.

The only good news is that the graphics interface requires GPU hardware support, and Origin can only run on the CPU and its own GPU at present.

——After talking about the API, it's the GPU's turn.

Under the excited and expectant eyes of everyone, the palm holographic image turned into ink again, and the small chip appeared in the center of the ink.

"Based on the new graphics and origin API, we designed a new GPU architecture."

Fire said slowly: "I named it Zhuang Zhou Architecture."

"Zhuang Zhou is a series. There are three major brands in the series, which are aimed at low-end, mid-end and high-end consumer groups."

Fire wiped it with one hand, and saw that the chip was divided into three parts, turning into three chips.

The screen zooms in before your eyes, and the names of the three chips are listed below.

The child is not a fish.

dream butterfly.

Getaway.

Below that, subtitles from previous ads are displayed.

"Origin Graphical Program Interface"

"Between the keyboard, touch the world."

"New Zhuang Zhou Architecture Graphics Chip"

"For you, define the world."

Lu Xiaochan stretched out cautiously
