“二渲三”技术在动画制作上的应用及影响——以《克劳斯:圣诞节的秘密》为例

《克劳斯:圣诞节的秘密》这部动画电影的上映,同时也生出了关于“二渲三”技术的讨论,二维动画三维化给人带来无限遐想。本文就以《克劳斯:圣诞节的秘密》这部动画电影为例,讨论“二渲三”技术在动画制作中的运用,以及这部创新型动画对如今动画行业可能造成的影响。

《克劳斯:圣诞节的秘密》的“守旧”与创新

《克劳斯:圣诞节的秘密》在上线后获得热烈反响,并赢得了安妮奖、奥斯卡最佳动画片等奖项的青睐。影片在叙事上表现出了套路化的“守旧”姿态,在情节设置与表现手法上,又具有相当的创新与突破。电影回应了儿童对于圣诞老人“真相”的关切,想象性地弥合了现实与传说的鸿沟,面对现实,逻辑自洽地重新组合了节日元素,并在技术上大胆革新,这是《克劳斯》与同题材“前文本”的不同之处,也是值得国产节日动画借鉴之处。

Increasing Success Probability of a Probabilistic Quantum Teleportation

The probabilistic quantum teleportation scheme [Phys. Lett. A 305 （2002） 12] is improved via two seemingly different methods （i.e., the usual aneilla method and the so-called Kraus method）, respectively. The essence of the improvements is to fetch a part from the residues so that the success probability is accordingly increased. The two improved versions and a similar protocol proposed by Li et al. [Phys. Rev. A 61 （2000） 034301] are compared mutually and discussed. It is found that they are equally efficient and can reach the success probability threshold determined by the inherent entanglement of the quantum channel.

From The Lodger （1913） to From Hell （2001）： Uncanny Portraits of Jack the Ripper？

During the last months of 1888 the populous quarter of Whitechapel, London, was stained with the blood of five women, all booked prostitutes and chronic alcoholics, worthy representatives of the diseases/vices of the Victorian East End. The shrewd and sanguinary Monster who realized these violent murders called himself ＂Jack the Ripper＂, signing with his ＂trade name＂ the letters he sent to the Central News Agency and through the press he soon became a myth, the most famous ＂serial killer＂ of all time. As a matter of fact, his legend survived, and his evil figure still haunts the pages of books and---of course--the frames of many films; among the most famous From Hell （2001） by Albert and Allen Hughes, taken from the graphic novel of the same name by Moore and Campbell; Jack the Ripper （1976） by Jess Franco, with a disturbing Klaus Kinski, but also the TV movie directed by David Wickes in 1998 entitled Jack The Ripper; more obliquely, Jack appears also in The Lodger （1913） and Frenzy （1972） by Alfred Hitchcock. But can these movies be defined as true biopics of Jack？ Strangely enough, it seems, these biographies contribute to build the mythic ＂anonymity＂ of the Ripper, encouraging （and fascinating） fear and nightmares.

German Labor Sports Movement in Slovakia and Its Orientation in Period 1918-1938

This is a study of German Labor Sport organizations and unions in Slovakia in the time parameters area 1918-1938 German workers living in Slovakia started to found their own union after 1918. They got a strong support from similar organizations of German workers living in Sudety. The coordinating role was played by the German Socio-Democratic party in Slovakia. The major concentration of these unions was in Bratislava and Eastern Slovakia. Concerning their specialized field, they can be divided into tourism-practising, physical and sport ones However, the union activities were strongly influenced by political parties. Activities of every union were regional and therefore a strong mutual isolation existed

Spatial distribution of employment opportunities in the city of Santa Cruz de Tenerife

The analysis of spatial mismatches in access to employment remains a very important area of labour market literature. A particular case is that of the mismatches in urban labor markets, which can result in substantial differences in the employment opportunities available in city centre and suburbs. This study examines the spatial mismatches present in the labour market of Santa Cruz de Tenerife. To that end, the results of a survey taken in 2003-2004 with a sample of 2000 city residents were reviewed. Results confirm the importance of transport policy for city residents; they suggest that public transport linking the different districts to the city centre should be reviewed.

Thermodynamics of the Apparent Horizon in FRW Universe with Massive Gravity

Applying Clausius relation with energy-supply defined by the unified first law of thermodynamics formalism to the apparent horizon of a massive gravity model in cosmology proposed lately, the corrected entropic formula of the apparent horizon is obtaJned with the help of the modified Friedmann equations. This entropy-area relation, together with the identified Misner-Sharp internal energy, verifies the first law of thermodynamics for the apparent horizon with a volume change term for consistency. On the other hand, by means of the corrected entropy-area formula and the Clausius relation δQ = T dS, where the heat flow δQ is the energy-supply of pure matter projecting on the vector ξ tangent to the apparent horizon and should be looked on as the amount of energy crossing the apparent horizon during the time interval dt and the temperature of the apparent horizon for energy crossing during the same interval is 1/（2πτA）, the modified Friedmann equations governing the dynamical evolution of the universe are reproduced with the known energy density and pressure of massive graviton. The integration constant is found to correspond to a cosmological term which could be absorbed into the energy density of matter. Having established the correspondence of massive cosmology with the unified first law of thermodynamics on the apparent horizon, the validity of the generalized second law of thermodynamics is also discussed by assuming the thermal equilibrium between the apparent horizon and the matter field bounded by the apparent horizon. It is found that, in the limit Hc → 0, which recovers the Minkowski reference metric solution in the fiat case, the generalized second law of thermodynamics holds if α3 ＋ 4α4 〈 0. Without this condition, even for the simplest model of dRGT massive cosmology with α3= α4 = 0, the generalized second law of thermodynamics could be violated.

A generalized tripartite scheme for splitting an arbitrary 2-qubit state with three 2-qubit partially entangled states and the Kraus measurement

We put forward a generalized tripartite scheme for splitting an arbitrary 2-qubit pure state with three 2-qubit non-maximally en-tangled states as quantum channels.The scheme for the first time incorporates the Kraus measurement into quantum information splitting scheme.In contrast to the similar scheme using the same quantum channels and the ancilla-entangled measurement,our scheme is superior in terms of operation and complexity,success probability,resource consumption and effciency.
