「设计,几何?」虚拟人类，不塌房的偶像是怎么设计出来的？2020年，B站每个月有4000多位虚拟主播开播。过去的18个月里，全球共有51位数字偶像诞生并活跃在社交网络上。根据爱奇艺《2019虚拟偶像观察报告》，全国有近4亿人正在关注或走在关注虚拟偶像的路上；2020年，虚拟偶像市场据估计达到2000亿；洛天依在淘宝直播的坑位费达90万元，远超薇娅、李佳琦。我说几个名字：Imma、绊爱、Lil Miquela、阿喜、AYAYI。如果你一个都不认识，没关系，我来说给你听。尽管他们加起来粉丝过亿，估值千亿，但是二十分钟之后，你将对他们如数家珍。刚才说的几位，无疑都是数字偶像，或者数字人，或者Vtuber。以下我们暂且把它们统一叫做数字人类。数字人类目前的应用主要是KOL或者偶像，主播类型，这个行业其实已经存在了一段时间了。我来按照时间线梳理一下。vtuber，是最早出现的数字人类。所谓vtuber，直接了当的翻译是虚拟主播，用虚拟形象的直播主。但vtuber又不只是主播，它们是虚拟偶像主播或者虚拟明星主播。谈到Vtuber就避不开绊爱（Kizuna AI/キズナアイ），她自称为世界第一个Virtual YouTuber，从2016年末就开始活动，出道四个月达到了40万订阅，直到2018年初达到了百万订阅，迄今为止也是YouTube上订阅量最高的Vtuber，因此她被中国粉丝爱称为”始皇帝“。随着绊爱的大火，更多Vtuber开始活跃起来，迄今为止已经在YouTube开通了数千个频道，这股热潮当然也来到了中国，越来越多的Vup也如雨后春笋般开始活动起来。大家熟悉的ASK动画出品的《最后的召唤师》，它的女主角朵拉doora，也常年在B站直播。之前在和ASK动画的于田Q爷的聊天中，我也得知了一些虚拟主播的基础知识：虚拟主播的魅力，在于“角色+真人”混合。首先那层“皮”更加精致，能够添加富有想象力的丰富元素，拓展了“人”的边界，但同时，背后的真人也能跟你产生实时交流。声优可以说是虚拟主播的核心竞争力。主播拥有更为灵活丰富的即兴反应和迷人的声线，难怪会出现开头所说每月有数千位虚拟主播直播的盛况。但是二次元的虚拟主播还是有一些先天的弱点:首先，文化阻隔会严重影响他们的受众规模，二次元虽然香，但不是人人都可以消受;其次，直播收益往往无法覆盖制作和推广成本，并且随着更多的玩家入局，这个细分市场也正在红海化;最后，也是最重要的，缺乏其他有效的收入手段。尽管如此，人类可以喜欢数字人类，并且更喜欢可以互动的数字人类。这点已经得到了充分的验证，所以新的数字人类出现了。他们就是所谓的metahuman——虚拟数字人。虚拟数字人宜具备以下三方面特征：1. 拥有人的外观，具有特定的相貌、性别和性格等人物特征；2. 拥有人的行为，具有用语言、面部表情和肢体动作表达的能力；3. 拥有人的思想，具有识别外界环境、并能与人交流互动的能力。具备了这些特征的数字人，其实已经和真实的人相去不远，再也不会塌房的偶像被生产出来了。说到这些metahuman就不得不提AYAYI。经常刷某书的用户最近不可能没有看到过她。仅仅凭借一张图片，叫AYAYI的女孩就一夜涨粉将近4万。精致的五官和微妙的口红色号，让男女女女都不自觉地按下关注按钮。截至目前，她已经拥有11.7万粉丝，被赞超过24.7万次。很多博主开始竞相模仿AYAYI的妆造。AYAYI还代表了全新的商业模式。在传统的商业传播中，尤其是涉及到线下的营销活动，除了时间、地点外最核心的就是明星和KOL。但是涉及到人的事情总是会有很多的不确定性，而像AYAYI这样的Metahuman从某种程度上来说，他们是不受时间与场域限制的传播对象。同时，她可以做出自然人难以完成的动作特技等。借助人工智能，这些偶像们也可以和每一个粉丝做一对一的亲密交流。AYAYI的师父是Lil miquela，名称是 Miquela Sousa，Brud公司设计的虚拟网红。人物设定是巴西和西班牙混血少女，19岁，长居洛杉矶，职业是音乐人、模特。有三百万粉丝，是一名来自加州的Instagram少女模特，她不仅被拍到与多位名人在一起，出了自己的专辑，还被许多出版物采访介绍过，Lil Miquela也为街头服饰和Calvin Klein,Prada等多个奢侈品牌代言。她喜欢韩国的防弹少年团。对于黑人和LGBTQ群体，她也公开表达过支持。根据网红营销平台 CreatorIQ 统计的数据，Miquela 的账号粉丝互动率在2.54%左右，粉丝中女性占比高达73%，年龄集中在18到24岁（58%），粉丝的兴趣偏向影视、时尚和音乐。她和粉丝之间已经建立起来真实的关系，尽管她只在互联网出现，但是她比很多真实的人类给人更可信的感觉。这也许是来自她标志性的双发簪发型，也许是来自她的牙缝和雀斑。当然独特的着装风格也加分很多。她人设的核心：同理心，使得人们尤其是现实生活中存在一些被排斥或处于边缘的人可以在Miquela身上看到自己的投影。因为这种同情心，她成为了一个邀请大家与之互动的可以依赖的感情寄托。可以说miquela这个数字人对她的300万粉丝来说，或许比大多数真人都更有影响力。现在国内比较火的数字人类还有翎，阿喜等。花西子等消费品牌在今年双11也推出了同名的数字人类花西子。翎因为参加《上线吧华彩少年》而出道，是由次世文化和魔珐科技两家公司共同打造的。次世文化CEO陈燕透露，数字人类的制作成本和门槛正在以肉眼可见的速度降低。2020年上半年做一个超现实虚拟人，从策划到上线，大概需要3个月时间，成本在百万人民币级别，但如今整个流程已经能缩短至45-60天，成本也能砍半。阿喜是Jesse在业余时间做出来的。Jesse是游戏公司上班族，日常996，他每晚22:30到家，23点到1点拿来做阿喜，原画、建模、动作捕捉、毛发、打光、配乐全部由他一个人完成。固然Jesse有着十多年经验和超强技术能力加持，但单打独斗、只用业余时间就能做成一个虚拟人，从侧面说明了这个行业的门槛正在降低，迈入一个“普及应用”的阶段。结合阿喜和翎，大家应该可以看出一个机会：数字人类似乎是个低投入高产出，甚至可以设计师个人创业的好生意。如果你已经跃跃欲试，在开始前，我们不妨梳理一下，技术能力这个影响最大的因素。数字替身是现在数字人类技术的早期积累。数字替身大部分出现在电影的视效部分中，通常他们的应用包括：面部替换，数字特技替身，生物类型变换或体征变换，例如电影《本杰明·巴顿奇事》中本杰明·巴顿的衰老特效和《爱尔兰人》的年轻版替身。基努·里维斯（Keanu Reeves）出现在《赛博朋克2077》；诺曼·里德斯（NormanReedus）成为《死亡搁浅》里的主角；AI换脸是图像，以2D格式生成，而数字人则能够放置于3D场景中并与该场景相关的各种软件和硬件相连。还有英伟达CEO黄仁勋的数字替身事件：21年4月的2021 GTC大会上，英伟达CEO黄仁勋现身介绍了对标Metaverse的平台级产品–Omniverse。当时老黄还提到，Metaverse不仅仅是游戏，而是模拟未来的地方。此外，这场发布会上英伟达还把多款中国产游戏当做了标杆游戏进行展示，GameLook还做过报道。模拟未来？这可不是空话，英伟达其实从这场发布会就已经开始践行，只不过是在三个月后的纪录片中才真正向全世界公开：几乎没有人发现，这场发布会中画面中的场景布局，老黄标志性的皮衣，甚至他本人全都是利用Omniverse合成渲染出来的“假人”。当我们已经无法分辨基努里维斯，老黄，米奎拉们的时候，数字人类创作的最后一击来了——MetaHuman Creator。21年3月，Epic 推出的基于UE4的制作工具MetaHuman Creator。这个工具划时代的意义是，它使得数字人类的制作成本大幅度下降了，从制作一个数字人到在游戏电影等场景中使用，时间从过去的几个月被缩减至几乎即时，基于深度感知相机，你创作的角色会继承你的微表情。很多人担忧这意味着美术师，建模师等设计职能不再被需要，这种对技术抢走工作职位的担忧在过去的几百年里反复出现，但是每次技术革新之后，我们都会发现，它们只是让整个生产过程更加流程化标准化，所有的技术都是用来加强美术师的工作能力的。比如之前的表演，只能是优秀演员的一次性现场发挥，现在借助骨骼点，动作捕捉，这些表演也成为可以复用的数字资产。随着这个大杀器的公布，相信会有更多大杀器到来，一切又回归到了起点：为什么我们需要数字人类，数字人类提供的服务内容，究竟是什么？我认为，它们其实和游乐场，电影，游戏一样，都是在满足人们对秩序的需要，因而产生的对内容和服务的消费。内容消费的核心是故事，而故事的核心，就是人物。这次，我们终于从设计情节氛围场景道具，到了可以设计人物。不是修辞上的设计人物，是物理上的设计人物。要想设计出精彩的数字人类，抛开技术层面的困难，我能一下子想到的还有以下几个困难：1. 恐怖谷效应

Free Ira Brown! - The Gonzaga Hoops PodcastCougars Crushed, Pilots PlunderedGonzaga dispatches two more WCC challengers, including BYU, who has been a thorn in the past, in two run away victories last week. We discuss the Joel Ayayi triple-double, what he means to this squad and we just can't stop gushing about this offense. After taking a look ahead to the next WCC lambs to the slaughter Marty serenades us once again. Stick around for shenanigans, in which we share our top three singing voices of all time. All that and more on this episode of Free Ira Brown! THE Gonzaga Hoops Podcast.
2021-01-131h 31Free Ira Brown! - The Gonzaga Hoops PodcastMountaineers Mangled, Bears AbortedWe know what you were thinking. We thought the same thing. Less than 13 minutes into the first game of a Big 12 double-header, Gonzaga’s star recruit injures his…well…we weren’t really sure what Jalen Suggs injured, but we here at Free Ira Brown feared the same thing as everyone else. Which made the energy drop immediately after understandable and his return to play in the second half equal parts remarkable and terrifying (come to think of it, equal parts remarkable and terrifying is a pretty good tagline for the podcast. Not surprisi...
2020-12-081h 39Free Ira Brown! - The Gonzaga Hoops PodcastJayhawks Jammed, Tigers TamedWhat a wild few days in the world of Gonzaga basketball. A comfortable win over Kansas -- where the Bulldogs casually dropped a 100(!) points – and a demolition of SEC stalwart Auburn highlight the positive while reports of positive tests for COVID-19 in and around the Gonzaga program raise questions about the school’s actions and whether two monster games this week should be played. Sound like a lot to get through? Don’t worry, Free Ira Brown is here to help navigate you through the tidal wave of information. In our latest episode, we’ll...

2020-08-031h 26Free Ira Brown! - The Gonzaga Hoops PodcastFIB's Definition of Summer MadnessIn this, the longest of Summers, we here at Free Ira Brown masterly debated long and hard about when we should release our annual bundle of summertime love. Then Petrusev dropped his bomb and we realized Ayayi (who since announced his return) and Kispert's decisions were just around the corner. There is no time then, like the present (or the present as it was nearly a week ago when we recorded this, big whoop wanna fight about it?) for Adam, Chris and Marty to come together and regale you with our COVID summer tales. Who gained weight? Who lost...

Maybe you’re still in school and feel like lending a hand (or ankle)? It feels like that’s what is needed after yet another injury, this time to Gonzaga’s leading scorer and rebounder. Unfortunately, dear FIBber, we have exhausted all our athletic eligibility. All we can give is the newest episode of Free Ira Brown, in which our heroes discuss the ankle injury to Filip Petrusev, why this was the best time for it to happen (not that there’s ever a...

Maybe they had been lost under the bed, or the dog used one as a chew toy and it was lost for a few weeks. But once you find it, you slip it on and it’s as comfortable as you remember. So it was, watching Gonzaga regain its form in a pair of blow-out conference road wins. A savaging of San Diego? Slipping the right foot in. A mauling of Marymount? Your left foot sliding into an ocean of comfort. It’s...

2019-12-191h 12Free Ira Brown! - The Gonzaga Hoops PodcastGot 99 Problems But the PAC12 Ain't OneDo ever wonder how well Gonzaga would do in a real conference? You know, what that doesn’t include the lumbering lummoxes that are the LMU Lions? Or the ponderous peasants that are the Portland Pilots? What if, and go with us here, what if Gonzaga were in a real, proper conference? Like, for example, the Pac-12? How would Gonzaga do in the Pac-12, where the west coast behemoths that are Washington and Oregon and Arizona live? What’s that, now? They beat all those teams, you say? And not one of the game...

Just out of curiosity, what did you put on your food? Were you a gravy fan for your turkey? Maybe parmesan or Reggiano for your lasagna? We hear at Free Ira Brown, we prefer Husky tears. And in the latest episode, our heroes exult in the full supply of Husky tears available after Sunday’s win. Woolridge all over both ends of the floor...

And in the latest episode of Free Ira Brown, our heroes dissect the loss to Michigan in the Battle 4 Atlantis final. What went wrong? Mostly everything. What went right? Mostly nothing. Should we freak out? Not yet. We also take some real h...
2019-12-031h 11Free Ira Brown! - The Gonzaga Hoops PodcastToo Poor to be BoostersIn 2017, led by one Geno Crandall, North Dakota came into the McCarthey Athletic Center and pushed a loaded Gonzaga team (aren’t they all loaded, really?) to overtime. That 2017 team, however, did not have Filip Petrusev. Filip Petrusev does not suffer such dramatics. Nor would be there any of the accompanying hand-wringing this year from Free Ira Brown. That’s right, dear FIBbers, we’re back, and in the latest episode our heroes go deep into finer aspects of the cruise-control wins over Arkansas-Pine Bluff and the Fighting Hawks: Petrusev feasting on lesser fools, Corey doing...
