Today, I opened the “Fate/ZERO” of the B station and found that the “Fate/ZERO” picture quality of the B station was very bad. The film source was 480 DVD quality.

The picture quality button in the lower right corner is 1080P, 720P, or 480P. The picture quality will not change. Of course, if you lower it to 360P, the picture will be worse, because if the source is already 480P, no matter how it stretches. Adjustment, the quality of the image itself will not improve, and at most improve the perception.

However, the barrage can also see a lot of people saying, “The picture quality is awesome.” .

It is clear that there is only 480p quality, but many people think that “the quality is awesome.” Why is this? .

The author found that the vast majority of anime fans, the “excellent picture performance”, and “animated picture quality is good”, these two concepts, confused. The author will take advantage of today’s opportunity, a good science and a hand in this aspect.

The animation quality is good, referring to the high resolution of the original painting, the brightness is just right, the original sharpness is high, and the color space is large. The content related to the parameters is more objective than subjectivity.

And generally we said. “Animated picture is good”. , and the actual perception, how the photographic effect (that is, the late effect), the painting is good, etc., subjectivity is greater than objectivity.

Why is the film source of “Fate ZERO” B station only 480p, but it will let everyone have a good illusion of good quality? .

1, “Fate ZERO” has a high resolution of native painting (around 810p), which is higher than the average new program, so the quality of the image itself is not bad.

2, “Fate ZERO”’s photographic effect (that is, the late effect) is gorgeous, making the whole picture look great.

These, have greatly affected the general audience, understanding the quality of animation, and think that the picture is gorgeous, that is, the picture quality is good, but it is not.

The picture is very beautiful, but the picture quality is not high, but it looks gorgeous (such as B station’s “Fate / ZERO”); and the picture quality is very good, the picture can be very bad (such as “reverse The animation of the referee).

For example.

There is a new program for P.A. WORKS in October, called “Tomorrow from the Colorful World”.

The animation’s native painting resolution is 720p, which was definitely top quality 10 years ago, but it was not available in 2018. Because of the Japanese TV animation 10 years ago, the universal native production resolution is only 480p, and the 720p resolution can hang any new productions at that time.

This look at this, the barrage must be in the brush, “painting quality”, because the picture looks very beautiful, because photography is very beautiful. However,.

In fact, the native resolution of the picture is not high, that is, the level of 720p, the sharpness is normal, the close-up is OK, the vision often loses a lot of details, under the effect of photography, it is easy to make people feel beautiful, but also at the same time Buddy.

Looking for a screenshot of a character, there is no problem at first glance on the phone, but if you zoom in on some screens, you will feel that the lines are very blurry. If you zoom in on the details of the lines on your phone, you will find: The

Line is very blurry.

The so-called “clear” and “fuzzy” are not absolute reference standards for judging the quality of the image. For example, let’s take some processing on the above picture to make it look clearer:

After adding sharpness, this screenshot is obviously much clearer than the one above. You will definitely feel that “the picture quality has improved”. In fact, the picture quality has not improved. Why? Because only the sharpening process is done, the amount of information of the image itself is not increased, and the image quality is not substantially improved.

How does this understand? .

Let’s find another screenshot of the original resolution with higher resolution. You will understand when comparing.

This is a screenshot of “Science Electromagnetic Cannon S” in 2013. This animation has a resolution of more than 900p. It belongs to the quasi-full HD quality. Its original lines are sharp and the details are sufficient. Gun sister’s ear

We can see that after the image is enlarged, the details of the lines are still clearly visible. The uneven feeling of the brush strokes of the continuous painting, that is, the priority of the force, can be reflected on the line, which is the real high resolution. Under the painting, the high quality is brought.

In contrast, even though the lines of “Tomorrow from the Colorful World” have been sharpened, they still can’t match the exquisiteness of the line of the gunner in Super Electromagnetic Gun S. This is the difference in picture quality between native painting resolutions.

Higher native painting resolution, with a higher amount of screen information, which lays the necessary foundation for excellent picture performance.

This is why “The Eternal Garden of Violet”, although a thick blur filter, looks soft and has a “Su” gas, but does not affect the overall sharp and sharp performance of the picture.

Let’s take another comparative example, in 2010, the second season of “Magic Ban Book Catalog” (native resolution 720P, Blu-ray screenshot).

The following picture shows the third season of the 2018 new program “Magic Forbidden Book Catalogue”. Although many people say that the three are doing very badly, in fact, the picture quality is obviously improved.

Aside from the vague photographic effects of “Magic 2”, the resolution of the painting itself is not high enough.

After magnifying the hair details, it’s completely smashed.

Let’s take a look at the hair that passes through the “Magic 3” side, sharp and clear. This is the difference in native resolution, of course, the style of the post-effect itself is also different. The later stage of “Magic ban 2” is ambiguous.

High-spec animation, native resolution is more focused, such as the 2016 animation “Your name. 》.

Feel the super high quality resolution and precision of the original painting, bringing the super high quality:

This is a landscape view that is not so eye-catching.

Zoom in.

Zoom in again, zoom in nearly 8 times, and the words written on a small street sign in the distance are still clearly visible, which is amazing! .

This is the effect of the resolution of the plateau, even if you zoom in on the details, the details will not be blurred.

Friends, this is called high quality.

If you change TV, first of all it doesn’t have “your name.” The level of production of that:

The brand of the car in the distant view is also a soaring after zooming in. It is not clear at all, it is not impossible to make it, but the original resolution is not high enough. Even if it is drawn, it will be lost due to the relationship of zooming and zooming. Information.

So before talking about the quality of animation, let’s talk about the resolution of the original painting. As for the later work, it only affects the perception, not the quality itself.

In addition, the current industry’s native painting limit is basically stopped at 1080P. There is no native 4K hand-drawn animation. In terms of fineness, the accuracy of 1080p is also fine enough. By pulling up the screen to 4K resolution, you can improve the look and feel. But the quality of the image itself has not changed.
