It should be understood that such data can be interchanged where appropriate so that the embodiments of the invention described herein can be implemented in orders other than those illustrated or described herein.

[0028] Example 1

[0029] According to an embodiment of the present invention, a method embodiment for rendering an object is provided. It should be noted that the steps shown in the flowchart in the accompanying drawings can be executed in a computer system such as a set of computer-executable instructions. Furthermore, although a logical order is shown in the flowchart, in some cases, the steps shown or described may be executed in a different order than that shown here.

[0030] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of an optional method for rendering an object according to an embodiment of the present invention, such as... Figure 1 As shown, the method includes the following steps:

[0031] Step S102: Determine the first highlight region of the object to be rendered and determine the second highlight region within the first highlight region.

[0032] In step S102, a first highlight region of the object to be rendered and a second highlight region can be determined within the first highlight region by means of electronic devices, application systems, computing devices, etc. In this embodiment, the first highlight region and the second highlight region of the object to be rendered are determined by means of computing devices.

[0033] Optionally, the computing device can determine the position and shape information of the first and second specular highlight regions based on the lighting information of the scene where the object to be rendered is located and the structural feature information of the object to be rendered. The position information can represent a specific range or a point, and the shape information can represent the shape of the specular highlight. The first specular highlight region represents the area on the object to be rendered used to display specular highlights, and the second specular highlight region represents the area on the object to be rendered used to display specular highlights different from those in the first specular highlight region, and the second specular highlight region is displayed within the first specular highlight region. The object to be rendered can be a complete object or one of multiple structures that make up a complete object.

[0034] Optionally, the computing device can also determine the position and shape information of the first and second highlight regions by acquiring information input manually. The information input manually may include the coordinates of the target position or the target range corresponding to the target position, and may also include a highlight map to define the shape information of the first and second highlight regions.

[0035] It should be noted that, compared to the single specular highlight in existing technologies, by determining the first specular highlight area of ​​the object to be rendered and the second specular highlight area within the first specular highlight area, the number of specular highlights of the object to be rendered in the same display area is increased, thereby facilitating the subsequent enrichment of specular highlight styles.

[0036] Step S104: Obtain the first highlight parameters corresponding to the first highlight region.

[0037] In step S104, the computing device can obtain a first specular parameter based on manually input information. The first specular parameter includes at least the parameter value corresponding to the specular sharpness parameter shinness. The shinness parameter describes the roughness of the object's surface. The value of the shinness parameter can affect the size of the specular area. A larger shinness parameter value indicates a higher gloss level of the object to be rendered, with more concentrated reflected specular light, resulting in a smaller specular area. Conversely, a smaller shinness parameter value indicates a lower gloss level of the object to be rendered, with more dispersed reflected specular light, resulting in a larger specular area.

[0038] It should be noted that by obtaining the first highlight parameters corresponding to the first highlight region, the size of the first highlight region is determined, thereby determining the calculation method of the first highlight region, that is, determining the style of the first highlight region.

[0039] Step S106: Determine the second highlight parameter corresponding to the second highlight region based on the first highlight parameter.

[0040] In step S106, the second specular parameter also includes at least the parameter value corresponding to the specular sharpness parameter shinness. The computing device can determine a first adjustment coefficient between the first and second specular parameters based on the environmental information (e.g., lighting information) of the object to be rendered and the material information of the object, and then determine the second specular parameter based on the first adjustment coefficient and the first specular parameter. The parameter values ​​of the second specular parameter are different from those of the first specular parameter.

[0041] Optionally, the computing device can also determine the first adjustment coefficient between the first highlight parameter and the second highlight parameter by acquiring information input manually, thereby determining the second highlight parameter based on the first adjustment coefficient and the first highlight parameter.

[0042] It should be noted that by determining the second specular parameter corresponding to the second specular region based on the first specular parameter, the size of the second specular region is determined, thereby determining the calculation method for the second specular region, and thus determining the style of the second specular region. Furthermore, due to the difference between the first and second specular parameters, the styles of the first and second specular regions also differ. Consequently, two specular styles with different styles will be generated in the same display area of ​​the object to be rendered, enriching the specular style of the object to be rendered.

[0043] Step S108: Based on the first specular parameter and the second specular parameter, perform shading processing on the object to be rendered to obtain the target rendering object.

[0044] In step S108, after the computing device determines the first specular parameter and the second specular parameter, it can input these parameters into the shader to perform shading processing on the object to be rendered, thereby obtaining the target rendering object. The shader can perform relevant calculations in 3D graphics computing, and it can customize the calculation methods to achieve lighting effects.

[0045] Optionally, during the process of the computing device performing color processing on the rendered object based on the shader, the computing device can also set the colors displayed in the first highlight area and the second highlight area respectively, thereby further realizing the distinction between the styles of the first highlight area and the second highlight area.

[0046] It should be noted that by performing color processing on the object to be rendered based on the first and second specular parameters, two different styles of specular highlights are generated in the same display area of ​​the object to be rendered, thereby making the specular highlights of the target object richer and more stylized.

[0047] Based on the scheme defined in steps S102 to S108 above, it can be understood that in this embodiment of the invention, two specular styles are used to colorize the object to be rendered in order to obtain the target rendering object. This is achieved by determining the first specular region of the object to be rendered and determining the second specular region within the first specular region, then obtaining the first specular parameter corresponding to the first specular region, then determining the second specular parameter corresponding to the second specular region based on the first specular parameter, and finally colorizing the object to be rendered based on the first specular parameter and the second specular parameter to obtain the target rendering object.

[0048] It is noteworthy that, in the above process, by determining the first highlight region and the second highlight region within the first highlight region of the object to be rendered, the number of highlights of the object in the same display area is increased, thus laying the foundation for a richer highlight style. Furthermore, by obtaining the first and second highlight parameters, the styles of the first and second highlight regions are determined. Due to the difference between the first and second highlight parameters, the styles of the first and second highlight regions also differ. Consequently, when the object to be rendered is shading based on the first and second highlight parameters, two highlights with different styles will be generated in the same display area of ​​the object, thus enriching the highlight style of the object to be rendered.

[0049] Therefore, the solution provided in this application achieves the purpose of using two specular styles to color the object to be rendered in order to obtain the target object to be rendered, thereby realizing a rich technical effect of specular style of the object to be rendered, and thus solving the technical problem of the single specular style of the object to be rendered caused by the single calculation method of specular highlights of the object to be rendered in the prior art.

[0050] In one optional embodiment, the computing device can obtain the lighting information of the scene where the object to be rendered is located, thereby determining first region information of a first specular region on the object to be rendered based on the lighting information, and determining second region information of a second specular region on the object to be rendered based on the lighting information. The first region information includes at least one of the following: the position information and shape of the first specular region; the second region information includes at least one of the following: the position information and shape of the second specular region.

[0051] Optionally, the lighting information may include information such as the direction and intensity of the light. The computing device can determine the position information of the first and second highlight regions on the object to be rendered based on the lighting direction and the structural features of the object. The position information of the first and second highlight regions may be the same or different. In this embodiment, the position information of the first and second highlight regions is the same.

[0052] Furthermore, the computing device can also determine the shapes of the first and second highlight regions on the object to be rendered based on the direction of illumination, the intensity of illumination, and the structural features of the object. For example, when the location of the first and second highlight regions is a plane, their shapes are usually regular shapes; when the location of the first and second highlight regions is not a plane, their shapes are usually irregular shapes.

[0053] It should be noted that by obtaining the lighting information of the scene where the object to be rendered is located, the first region information and the second region information are determined based on the lighting information, so that the position and shape of the first and second highlight regions are more in line with the actual situation and have realism. This allows the object to be rendered to produce realistic and vivid highlights in different environments, thereby improving the user experience.

[0054] In one optional embodiment, the computing device can obtain parameter information corresponding to the object to be rendered, determine a first adjustment coefficient based on the parameter information, and then calculate the product of the first specular parameter and the first adjustment coefficient to obtain a second specular parameter. The parameter information includes at least one of the following: environmental information and material information.

[0055] Optionally, the environmental information in the parameter information corresponding to the object to be rendered may include information such as lighting color, lighting intensity, and the scene in which the object is located. The material information in the parameter information corresponding to the object to be rendered may include information such as the color, texture, smoothness, transparency, reflectivity, refractive index, and luminosity of the object's surface. Based on the above information, the computing device can determine the first adjustment coefficient through a preset calculation model, or it can directly obtain a preset or manually input first adjustment coefficient. In this embodiment, the first adjustment coefficient is preferably the natural constant e to produce better specular effects.

[0056] Furthermore, once the first adjustment coefficient is determined, the second highlight parameter can be obtained by multiplying the first adjustment coefficient by the parameter value of the first highlight parameter.

[0057] It should be noted that by determining the first adjustment coefficient based on parameter information, and then obtaining the second specular parameter based on the first adjustment coefficient, the shading processing of the object to be rendered based on the second specular parameter will be more realistic. When the material of the object to be rendered or its environment changes, the second specular parameter of the object to be rendered will also change, thereby making the specular effect of the object to be rendered better and the style more varied.

[0058] In one optional embodiment, after determining the first specular parameter and the second specular parameter, the computing device can acquire a specular reflection model, and then calculate in parallel the first specular result and the second specular result under the specular reflection model based on the first specular parameter and the second specular parameter. Based on the first specular result and the second specular result, the first specular region and the second specular region are then shading processed to obtain the target rendering object. The specular reflection model characterizes the degree of illumination reflected by the object to be rendered.

[0059] Optionally, the computing device acquires a Bling-phong specular reflection model as the lighting model and creates this specular reflection model in a shader. Then, the computing device substitutes the first and second specular parameters into the specular reflection model to obtain the first and second specular results, respectively. The first specular result characterizes the illumination level of the first specular region, which includes at least the size of the first specular region; the second specular result characterizes the illumination level of the second specular region, which also includes at least the size of the second specular region.

[0060] Furthermore, the computing device employs a multi-core GPU architecture. This multi-core GPU design allows for the simultaneous processing of large amounts of data, significantly improving processing efficiency. Therefore, when the computing device calculates the first specular highlight result in the shader, it can simultaneously calculate the second specular highlight result using the parallel computing syntax supported by the shader. Specifically, the shader typically uses `half x` to represent a single numerical value, and it supports the `half2(x, y)` syntax for parallel computation. Therefore, when an additional value is needed (such as adding a second specular highlight parameter), the computing device can use the `half2` syntax to input the first and second specular highlight parameters into the specular reflection model, thereby enabling the parallel computation of both the first and second specular highlight results. The specular reflection model based on parallel computation is shown below:

[0061] half2(L specular1 L specular2 = max(dot(N, H), 0) half2(shinness，shinness*e)

[0062] Among them, L specular1 Indicates the first highlight result, L specular2 This represents the second highlight result, max(dot(N,H),0) half2(shinness，shinness*e) This represents the specular reflection model, where shinness represents the first specular parameter and shinness*e represents the second specular parameter.

[0063] Subsequently, the computing device performs color processing on the first highlight area and the second highlight area using the first highlight result and the second highlight result, respectively, to obtain the target rendering object.

[0064] It should be noted that by obtaining the specular reflection model and then calculating the first and second specular results under the specular reflection model in parallel with the first and second specular parameters, the mechanism of GPU parallel computing is fully utilized, and the effect of enriching the specular reflection effect of the object to be rendered is achieved without sacrificing the performance of the computing device.

[0065] In an optional embodiment, before obtaining the above-mentioned specular reflection model, it is also necessary to construct a specular reflection model. Specifically, the method of constructing the specular reflection model is described in detail below.

[0066] Optionally, the computing device determines the lighting direction and camera view direction of the scene where the object to be rendered is located, and then determines the half-angle vector corresponding to the scene based on the lighting direction and camera view direction. Next, it determines the surface normal direction and specular parameters of the object to be rendered, and then constructs a specular reflection model based on the half-angle vector, surface normal direction and specular parameters.

[0067] in, Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of an optional illumination direction, surface normal direction, camera viewing angle direction, and half-angle vector according to an embodiment of the present invention, such as... Figure 2 As shown, the lighting direction is the direction of the natural light in the scene where the object to be rendered is located. The formula for determining the half-angle vector corresponding to the scene based on the lighting direction and the camera's viewpoint direction is as follows:

[0068] H = add(L, V)

[0069] Where L represents the direction of illumination, V represents the direction of the camera's viewpoint, and H represents the half-angle vector.

[0070] Furthermore, the surface normal direction of the object to be rendered is the direction of the object's surface as observed by the camera. The principle of the specular reflection model is based on the surface normal direction and half-angle vector of the object to be rendered, and the constructed specular reflection model is shown below:

[0071] L specular =max(dot(N,H),0) shiness

[0072] Among them, L specular The specular reflection result is represented by N, where N represents the surface normal direction, H represents the half-angle vector, and shiness represents the specular parameter. This specular reflection model describes the illumination level reflected from the surface of an object, and its calculation speed is relatively fast, making it suitable for the performance of various electronic devices (such as mobile phones and computers) or computing devices.

[0073] It should be noted that by constructing a specular reflection model, the first and second specular results can be accurately calculated, which facilitates subsequent shading processing of the object to be rendered and improves the shading effect.

[0074] In an optional embodiment, when the first specular result is used to directly colorize the object to be rendered, the coloring result is as follows: Figure 3As shown, it is easy to see that the highlight shape is relatively soft at this time, and the brightness values ​​in different parts of the first highlight area are not completely equal. Therefore, in order to make the highlights on the target rendering object more stylized, after the computing device calculates the first highlight result and the second highlight result, the computing device can determine the second adjustment coefficient according to the target rendering result corresponding to the object to be rendered. Then, it determines the first brightness value from the first highlight result and the second brightness value from the second highlight result. Next, the computing device adjusts the first brightness value according to the comparison result between the first brightness value and the second adjustment coefficient to obtain the first target brightness value, and adjusts the second brightness value according to the comparison result between the second brightness value and the second adjustment coefficient to obtain the second target brightness value. Finally, the first highlight area is tinted based on the first target brightness value, and the second highlight area is tinted based on the second target brightness value to obtain the target rendering object.

[0075] Optionally, in this embodiment, the computing device can determine the second adjustment coefficient based on the target rendering result, or it can directly obtain the second adjustment coefficient input manually. The target rendering result can be pre-set in the computing device, or it can be calculated based on the environmental information of the object to be rendered and the material information of the object itself. After determining the second adjustment coefficient, the computing device can determine the brightness value at the location determined in the aforementioned first highlight region location information as the first brightness value, and determine the brightness value at the location determined in the aforementioned second highlight region location information as the second brightness value.

[0076] Furthermore, the computing device can directly compare the first brightness value with the second adjustment coefficient, or the second brightness value with the second adjustment coefficient, to obtain a comparison result; alternatively, it can first calculate the ratio between the first brightness value and the second adjustment coefficient, or the ratio between the second brightness value and the second adjustment coefficient, and then compare the aforementioned ratio with a preset threshold to obtain a comparison result, and then determine the first target brightness value and the second target brightness value based on the comparison result.

[0077] Furthermore, the computing device performs color processing on all pixels in the first highlight area based on the first target brightness value, so that the brightness of any point in the first highlight area is the first target brightness value. Similarly, the computing device performs color processing on all pixels in the second highlight area based on the second target brightness value, so that the brightness of any point in the second highlight area is the second target brightness value, thereby obtaining the target rendering object.

[0078] It should be noted that by determining the second adjustment coefficient, adjusting the first brightness value to the first target brightness value based on the second adjustment coefficient, and adjusting the second brightness value to the second target brightness value based on the second adjustment coefficient, the brightness value of at least a portion of the first highlight area or the second highlight area is changed, making its highlight edges sharper, thereby achieving a further change in the style of the first highlight area or the second highlight area, making its style more unique.

[0079] In one alternative embodiment, the computing device can obtain the first specular result corresponding to the first target brightness value in the following manner.

[0080] Optionally, when the first brightness value is greater than or equal to the second adjustment coefficient value, the computing device determines the first target brightness value as a first value; when the first brightness value is less than the second adjustment coefficient, the computing device determines the first target brightness value as a second value, wherein the first value is greater than the second value.

[0081] Specifically, in this embodiment, the computing device uses the step function in the shader to determine the first target brightness value. The step function is step(float a, float x), which is a step function used to return a value greater than or equal to the corresponding component in the reference vector a for each component of x, otherwise returning zero. In this embodiment, the formula for adjusting the first brightness value based on the second adjustment coefficient is as follows:

[0082] L specular =step(specularStep, L) specular )

[0083] Among them, L specular This represents the first highlight result, and `specularStep` represents the second adjustment coefficient. When the first brightness value is less than the second adjustment coefficient, the first target brightness value is determined to be 0 or another brightness value less than the brightness value corresponding to the second adjustment coefficient; when the first brightness value is greater than or equal to the second adjustment coefficient, the first brightness value is adjusted to a brightness value greater than or equal to the brightness value corresponding to the second adjustment coefficient. This achieves the determination of the first highlight result corresponding to the first target brightness value. The first highlight area adjusted based on the second adjustment coefficient is shown below. Figure 4 As shown.

[0084] It should be noted that by directly comparing the first brightness value and the second adjustment coefficient to determine the first target brightness value, the edge of the highlight can be made sharper while minimizing the increased computational load on the computing device, thereby ensuring the working efficiency of the computing device.

[0085] In one alternative embodiment, the computing device can obtain the second specular result corresponding to the second target brightness value in the following manner.

[0086] Optionally, when the second brightness value is greater than or equal to the second adjustment coefficient, the computing device determines the second target brightness value to be a first value; when the second brightness value is less than the second adjustment coefficient, the second target brightness value is determined to be a second value, wherein the first value is greater than the second value.

[0087] Specifically, the computing device can determine the second highlight result corresponding to the second target brightness value in parallel using the same method as described above for determining the first highlight result corresponding to the first target brightness value. In this embodiment, the computing device can use the aforementioned half2 syntax to simultaneously substitute the first highlight result and the second highlight result into the formula established based on the step function, thereby calculating the second highlight result corresponding to the second target brightness value in parallel while calculating the first highlight result corresponding to the first target brightness value. The formula for adjusting the brightness value based on parallel computing is as follows:

[0088] half2(L specular1 L specular2 )=step(specularStep,half2(L specular1 L specular2 ))

[0089] Among them, L specular1 Indicates the first highlight result, L specular2 This indicates the second highlight result, and specularStep indicates the second adjustment factor.

[0090] Optionally, the computing device can input the following password in the shader to determine the first specular result corresponding to the first target brightness value and the second specular result corresponding to the second target brightness value, as shown below:

[0091] Half H = L + V:

[0092] Half2 Lspecular=pow(max(dot(N, H)), half2(shinness, shinness*e));

[0093] Lspecular=step(specularStep,Lspecular);

[0094] The first and second highlight regions, adjusted based on the second adjustment factor, are as follows: Figure 5 As shown.

[0095] It should be noted that by directly comparing the second brightness value and the second adjustment coefficient, and determining the second target brightness value based on parallel computing, the increased computational load on the computing device can be minimized while making the highlight edges sharper, thereby ensuring the working efficiency of the computing device.

[0096] In an alternative embodiment, before the computing device optimizes the highlight shape based on the step function described above, the computing device may also control the degree of highlight concentration in the first region or the second region based on the parameter Smoothness, so as to make the highlight shape softer.
