Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of computer technology, and more specifically, to a method, apparatus, storage medium, and electronic device for rendering a virtual model with self-illumination. Background Technology

[0002] Self-illuminating rendering refers to a rendering method that keeps the color parameters of the surface materials of a virtual model within the High-Dynamic Range (HDR). Self-illuminating rendering is one of the important methods for achieving special effects on virtual models (such as virtual characters and virtual props) in virtual scenes. With the development of computer technology and the improvement of user aesthetics, the static self-illuminating effects obtained by traditional self-illuminating rendering methods are difficult to meet the artistic needs of application scenarios. Therefore, technicians in related fields are constantly trying various self-illuminating flow rendering methods.

[0003] The self-illuminating flow rendering methods provided by related technologies mainly involve placing an additional set of model UV maps in the direction of self-illumination flow, determining the direction of self-illumination flow through shaders, and associating this direction with the model's self-illumination maps to control the self-illumination flow. However, this method has drawbacks: it relies on the model's polygon count and the placement of the model's UV maps, which may lead to low accuracy of self-illumination flow and poor rendering effects; the additional UV maps result in high device resource consumption, high system complexity, and poor stability; and it is difficult to produce artwork.

Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort should fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0039] It should be noted that the terms "first," "second," etc., in the specification, claims, and accompanying drawings of this invention are used to distinguish similar objects and are not necessarily used to describe a specific order or sequence. 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. Furthermore, the terms "comprising" and "having," and any variations thereof, are intended to cover a non-exclusive inclusion; for example, a process, method, system, product, or apparatus that comprises a series of steps or units is not necessarily limited to those steps or units explicitly listed, but may include other steps or units not explicitly listed or inherent to such processes, methods, products, or apparatus.

[0040] According to one embodiment of the present invention, an embodiment of a self-illuminating rendering method for a virtual model 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.

[0041] In one embodiment of the present invention, the self-illuminating rendering method for virtual models can run on a terminal device or a server. The terminal device can be a local terminal device. When the self-illuminating rendering method for virtual models runs on a server, the method can be implemented and executed based on a cloud interaction system, wherein the cloud interaction system includes a server and client devices.

[0042] In an optional implementation, various cloud applications, such as cloud gaming, can run under the cloud interaction system. Taking cloud gaming as an example, cloud gaming refers to a gaming method based on cloud computing. In the cloud gaming operating mode, the game program and the game screen presentation are separated. The storage and execution of the virtual model's self-illuminating rendering method are completed on the cloud gaming server. The client device is used for data reception, transmission, and game screen presentation. For example, the client device can be a display device with data transmission capabilities located close to the user, such as a mobile terminal, television, computer, or PDA; however, the terminal device for information processing is the cloud gaming server in the cloud. When playing the game, the player operates the client device to send operation commands to the cloud gaming server. The cloud gaming server runs the game according to the operation commands, encodes and compresses the game screen and other data, returns it to the client device via the network, and finally, the client device decodes and outputs the game screen.

[0043] In an alternative implementation, the terminal device can be a local terminal device. Taking a game as an example, the local terminal device stores the game program and is used to display the game screen. The local terminal device is used to interact with the player through a graphical user interface, that is, conventionally downloading, installing, and running the game program via an electronic device. The local terminal device can provide the graphical user interface to the player in various ways, such as rendering it on the terminal's display screen, or providing it to the player through holographic projection. For example, the local terminal device can include a display screen for displaying the graphical user interface, which includes game screens, and a processor for running the game, generating the graphical user interface, and controlling the display of the graphical user interface on the display screen.

Figure 1 This is a hardware structure block diagram of a mobile terminal for a self-illuminating rendering method of a virtual model according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 1 As shown, a mobile terminal may include one or more ( Figure 1 Only one is shown in the diagram. A processor 102 (which may include, but is not limited to, a central processing unit (CPU), graphics processing unit (GPU), digital signal processing (DSP) chip, microprocessor (MCU), programmable logic device (FPGA), neural network processor (NPU), tensor processor (TPU), artificial intelligence (AI) type processor, etc.) and a memory 104 for storing data are also shown. Optionally, the mobile terminal may further include a transmission device 106 for communication functions, an input / output device 108, and a display device 110.

For example, the mobile terminal may also include components that are more... Figure 1 The more or fewer components shown, or having the same Figure 1 The different configurations shown.

[0046] The memory 104 can be used to store computer programs, such as application software programs and modules, like the computer program corresponding to the self-illuminating rendering method for virtual models in this embodiment of the invention. The processor 102 executes various functional applications and data processing by running the computer program stored in the memory 104, thereby implementing the aforementioned self-illuminating rendering method for virtual models. The memory 104 may include high-speed random access memory and may also include non-volatile memory, such as one or more magnetic storage devices, flash memory, or other non-volatile solid-state memory. In some instances, the memory 104 may further include memory remotely located relative to the processor 102, and these remote memories can be connected to the mobile terminal via a network. Examples of such networks include, but are not limited to, the Internet, corporate intranets, local area networks, mobile communication networks, and combinations thereof.

[0047] The transmission device 106 is used to receive or send data via a network. Specific examples of the network described above may include a wireless network provided by the mobile terminal's communication provider. In one example, the transmission device 106 includes a Network Interface Controller (NIC), which can connect to other network devices via a base station to communicate with the Internet. In another example, the transmission device 106 may be a Radio Frequency (RF) module used for wireless communication with the Internet.

[0048] The inputs in input / output device 108 can come from multiple human interface devices (HIDs). Examples include keyboards and mice, gamepads, and other dedicated game controllers (such as steering wheels, fishing rods, dance mats, and remote controls). Some HIDs, in addition to providing input functions, can also provide output functions, such as force feedback and vibration from gamepads, and audio output from controllers.

[0049] Display device 110 may be, for example, a head-up display (HUD), a touchscreen liquid crystal display (LCD), and a touch display (also referred to as a "touchscreen" or "touch display"). The LCD allows a user to interact with the user interface of the mobile terminal. In some embodiments, the mobile terminal has a graphical user interface (GUI), which allows the user to interact with the GUI via finger contact and / or gestures on a touch-sensitive surface. Optional human-computer interaction functions include: creating web pages, drawing, word processing, creating electronic documents, playing games, video conferencing, instant messaging, sending and receiving emails, a call interface, playing digital video, playing digital music, and / or web browsing, etc. Executable instructions for performing the above human-computer interaction functions are configured / stored in one or more processor-executable computer program products or computer-readable storage media.

[0050] In one embodiment of the present invention, the self-illuminating rendering method for virtual models can run on a local terminal device or a server. When the self-illuminating rendering method for virtual models runs on a server, the method can be implemented and executed based on a cloud interaction system, wherein the cloud interaction system includes a server and a client device.

[0051] In an optional implementation, various cloud applications, such as cloud gaming, can run under the cloud interaction system. Taking cloud gaming as an example, cloud gaming refers to a gaming method based on cloud computing. In the cloud gaming operating mode, the game program and the game screen presentation are separated. The storage and execution of the virtual model's self-illuminating rendering method are completed on the cloud gaming server. The client device is used for data reception, transmission, and game screen presentation. For example, the client device can be a display device with data transmission capabilities located close to the user, such as a mobile terminal, television, computer, or PDA; however, the information processing is performed by the cloud gaming server in the cloud.

The cloud gaming server runs the game according to the operation commands, encodes and compresses the game screen and other data, returns it to the client device via the network, and finally, the client device decodes and outputs the game screen.

[0052] In an optional implementation, taking a game as an example, the local terminal device stores the game program and is used to display the game screen. The local terminal device is used to interact with the player through a graphical user interface (GUI), i.e., conventionally by downloading, installing, and running the game program via an electronic device. The local terminal device can provide the GUI to the player in various ways, such as rendering it on the terminal's display screen or providing it to the player via holographic projection. For example, the local terminal device can include a display screen for displaying the GUI, which includes game screens, and a processor for running the game, generating the GUI, and controlling the display of the GUI on the display screen.

[0053] In one possible implementation, this invention provides a self-illuminating rendering method for a virtual model, which provides a graphical user interface through a terminal device. The terminal device can be either the aforementioned local terminal device or a client device in the aforementioned cloud interaction system. Figure 2 This is a flowchart of a self-illuminating rendering method for a virtual model according to an embodiment of the present invention, such as... Figure 2 As shown, the method includes the following steps:

[0054] Step S21: Obtain the first texture, second texture and third texture corresponding to the self-illuminating area of ​​the target virtual model, wherein the first texture is the self-illuminating texture of the self-illuminating area, the second texture is the grayscale texture of the self-illuminating flow direction of the self-illuminating area, and the third texture is the noise texture of the self-illuminating area.

[0055] The aforementioned target virtual model can be a virtual object in a virtual game scene that requires rendering a self-illuminating effect. For example, the target virtual model can be a virtual character (including the virtual character's body, accessories, and special effects, etc.), virtual props, etc.

[0056] The aforementioned self-illuminating area can be part or all of the surface of the target virtual model, and this part or all of the area needs to be rendered with a self-illuminating effect.

[0057] The first texture corresponding to the aforementioned self-illuminating region is the self-illuminating texture of that region, which is used to determine the static self-illuminating effect of the region. This self-illuminating region allows for the identification of the self-illuminating area on the surface of the target virtual model, and enables individual control over the self-illuminating color of that region, unaffected by ambient light.

[0058] The second texture corresponding to the aforementioned self-illuminating region is a grayscale texture of the self-illuminating flow direction of the self-illuminating region. The grayscale information contained in the grayscale texture is used to determine the self-illuminating flow direction of the self-illuminating region.

[0059] The third texture corresponding to the self-illuminating area is a noise texture of that self-illuminating area. The noise information contained in the noise texture is used to determine the random effect of the self-illuminating flow within the self-illuminating area.

[0060] Specifically, obtaining the first, second, and third textures corresponding to the self-illuminating regions of the target virtual model also includes other methods and steps, which can be referred to in the further description of the embodiments of the present invention below, and will not be repeated here.

[0061] Step S22: Determine the first parameter based on the first texture, and determine the second parameter based on the second and third textures, wherein the first parameter is the initial self-illumination parameter of the self-illuminating region, and the second parameter is the noise parameter of the self-illuminating region;

[0062] The first parameter is determined based on the first texture. Specifically, the initial self-illumination parameters of the self-illuminating region are determined based on the self-illuminating texture corresponding to the self-illuminating region of the target virtual model. These initial self-illumination parameters are used to render the self-illuminating region.

[0063] The second parameter is determined based on the second and third textures mentioned above. Specifically, the noise parameter of the self-illuminating region is determined based on the grayscale texture and noise texture corresponding to the self-illuminating region of the target virtual model. This noise parameter is used to render the self-illuminating region.

[0064] Specifically, determining the first parameter based on the first texture and determining the second parameter based on the second and third textures also includes other methods and steps, which can be referred to in the further description of the embodiments of the present invention below, and will not be repeated here.

[0065] Step S23: Render the self-illuminating region according to the first parameter and the second parameter.

[0066] The self-illuminating region is rendered based on the first parameter and the second parameter mentioned above. Specifically, the self-illuminating region is rendered based on the initial self-illumination parameters and noise parameters of the self-illuminating region.

[0067] Specifically, rendering the self-illuminating region according to the first parameter and the second parameter also includes other methods and steps, which can be referred to in the further description of the embodiments of the present invention below, and will not be repeated here.

[0068] In at least some embodiments of the present invention, by acquiring a first texture, a second texture, and a third texture corresponding to the self-illuminating region of the target virtual model, wherein the first texture is a self-illuminating texture of the self-illuminating region, the second texture is a grayscale texture of the self-illuminating flow direction of the self-illuminating region, and the third texture is a noise texture of the self-illuminating region, and by determining a first parameter based on the first texture and a second parameter based on the second and third textures, wherein the first parameter is the initial self-illuminating parameter of the self-illuminating region and the second parameter is the noise parameter of the self-illuminating region, and further rendering the self-illuminating region according to the first and second parameters, the purpose of rendering self-illuminating flow based on the self-illuminating texture, grayscale texture, and noise texture of the self-illuminating region on the target virtual model is achieved. This achieves the technical effect of improving the control accuracy and rendering stability of self-illuminating flow without the need for additional texture placement, thereby solving the technical problems of low control accuracy and poor rendering stability of self-illuminating flow rendering methods based on additional texture placement in related technologies.

[0069] The method described in this embodiment will be further explained below.

[0070] Optionally, in step S22, determining the first parameter based on the first texture may include the following steps:

[0071] Step S221: Sample the first texture using the initial texture sampling method to obtain the first parameters.

[0072] The initial texture sampling method described above can be based on sampling from the UV map of the target virtual model. By sampling the initial self-illumination map of the self-illuminating region based on the UV map of the target virtual model, the initial self-illumination parameters of the self-illuminating region can be obtained.

[0073] Optionally, in step S22, determining the second parameter based on the second and third textures may include the following steps:

[0074] Step S222: The second texture is sampled using the initial texture sampling method to obtain the third parameter, wherein the third parameter is the self-illumination flow parameter of the self-illuminating region;

[0075] Step S223: Determine the target texture sampling method based on the third parameter;

[0076] Step S224: Sample the third texture using the target texture sampling method to obtain the second parameter.

[0077] By sampling the grayscale map of the self-illuminating region's self-illuminating flow direction from the UV map of the target virtual model, the self-illuminating flow parameters of that region can be obtained. Based on these parameters, the self-illuminating flow map can be determined.

[0078] The aforementioned target texture sampling method can be based on sampling of a self-illuminating flow map determined by self-illuminating flow parameters. By sampling the noise map of the self-illuminating region based on this self-illuminating flow map, the noise parameters of the self-illuminating region can be obtained.

[0079] Optionally, in step S223, determining the target texture sampling method based on the third parameter may include the following steps:

[0080] Step S2231: Obtain the fourth parameter, wherein the fourth parameter is used to control the displacement of the self-luminous flow in the self-luminous region;

[0081] Step S2232: Adjust the third parameter using the fourth parameter to obtain the adjustment result;

[0082] Step S2233: Determine the target texture sampling method based on the adjustment results.

[0083] The fourth parameter mentioned above is the displacement control parameter for the self-illuminating flow in the self-illuminating region. This fourth parameter can be specified in advance by the technician or input in real time during the rendering process.

[0084] Specifically, the displacement control parameters may include time control parameters and speed control parameters. The time control parameters are used to control the timing information of the self-illuminating flow rendering (including start and stop times, stage times, etc.), and the speed control parameters are used to control the rendering speed of the self-illuminating flow rendering. By controlling the time and speed of the self-illuminating flow rendering, the displacement of the self-illuminating flow rendering can be controlled.

[0085] Using the fourth parameter, the third parameter is adjusted to obtain the adjustment result. This adjustment result is the self-illuminating flow parameter after adjustment of the displacement control parameter and the velocity control parameter. Based on this adjustment result, the target texture sampling method is determined to be sampling based on the self-illuminating flow map determined by the self-illuminating flow parameter.

[0086] Optionally, in step S23, rendering the self-illuminating region according to the first parameter and the second parameter may include the following steps:

[0087] Step S231: Perform a multiplication operation on the first parameter and the second parameter to obtain the self-emitting color of the self-emitting region;

[0088] Step S232: Render the self-illuminating color using the rendering pipeline.

[0089] By multiplying the first parameter and the second parameter mentioned above, the self-illuminating color of the self-illuminating region can be obtained. This multiplication operation can be an algorithm pre-specified by an engineer, and the self-illuminating color can be a color parameter used to render the self-illuminating region. Through the rendering pipeline, this self-illuminating color can be rendered, thereby obtaining the self-illuminating effect of the target virtual model.

[0090] Optionally, by bringing the self-illuminating color parameters into the HDR range, virtual scene images can achieve a greater dynamic range of exposure than ordinary digital images, thereby allowing players to perceive more obvious differences in scene brightness.

[0091] Optionally, in step S21, obtaining the second texture corresponding to the self-illuminating region of the target virtual model may include the following steps:

[0092] Step S211: Draw the self-luminous flow direction of the self-luminous region to obtain self-luminous flow information;

[0093] Step S212: Bake the self-illuminating flow information to obtain the second texture.

[0094] The direction of the self-emitting flow in the self-emitting region is drawn to obtain self-emitting flow information. This self-emitting flow information can be grayscale information. Baking this self-emitting flow information yields a grayscale texture of the self-emitting region (equivalent to the second texture mentioned above).

[0095] Optionally, in step S211, drawing the self-emission flow direction of the self-emission region to obtain self-emission flow information may include the following steps:

[0096] Step S2111: Determine a first gray value and a second gray value based on the self-emitting flow direction of the self-emitting region, wherein the first gray value is used to determine the starting point of the self-emitting flow direction and the second gray value is used to determine the ending point of the self-emitting flow direction.

[0097] Step S2112: Using the first grayscale value and the second grayscale value, control the brush to perform linear drawing to obtain self-illuminating flow information.

[0098] The direction of the self-emitting light flow in the aforementioned self-emitting area can be a direction pre-specified by technicians according to the needs of the scene. Based on the direction of the self-emitting light flow in this self-emitting area, the aforementioned first grayscale value and the aforementioned second grayscale value can be determined. The first grayscale value can be used to determine the starting point of the self-emitting light flow direction, and the second grayscale value can be used to determine the ending point of the self-emitting light flow direction.

[0099] Using the first and second grayscale values ​​mentioned above, the brush can be controlled to perform linear drawing, thereby obtaining the aforementioned self-illuminating flow information. Specifically, the brush is controlled to draw linearly from the starting point to the ending point of the self-illuminating flow, and the resulting drawing can be used as the aforementioned self-illuminating flow information. This self-illuminating flow information includes the direction information of the self-illuminating flow.

[0100] Optionally, the above-described self-illuminating rendering method for virtual models may further include one of the following execution steps:

[0101] Step S24: Store the first texture and the second texture independently, respectively;

[0102] Step S25: Store the second texture in the transparency channel of the first texture.

[0103] The self-illuminating texture (equivalent to the first texture) and grayscale texture (equivalent to the second texture) of the self-illuminating area can be stored independently. During rendering, the self-illuminating texture and the grayscale texture are read separately to render the self-illuminating area.

[0104] The grayscale texture of the self-illuminating region (equivalent to the second texture) can also be stored in the transparency channel of the self-illuminating texture (equivalent to the first texture). During rendering, the self-illuminating texture containing the grayscale texture is read to render the self-illuminating region.

[0105] Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of an optional self-illuminating rendering process according to an embodiment of the present invention. Taking the self-illuminating rendering of the legs of a virtual character A as an example, this self-illuminating rendering process is based on the Shader language and implemented using the Unity game engine and Blender model design software. Figure 3 As shown, the self-illuminating rendering process includes the following steps:

[0106] Step E31: Draw the self-illumination flow direction of the model in the model making software;

[0107] Step E32: Bake the drawn grayscale image and import it into the engine;

[0108] Step E33: Sample the grayscale information image and use the sampling result as a one-dimensional noise image;

[0109] Step E34: Control the self-illuminating movement by controlling the parameters of the one-dimensional noise map;

[0110] Step E35: Multiply the processed noise parameters by the self-illuminating map, and input the calculation result into the rendering pipeline for rendering.

[0111] Specifically, in step E31, the direction of the self-illumination flow of the legs of the virtual character A is drawn using Blender software. Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram of an optional self-illuminating flow direction drawing process according to an embodiment of the present invention, such as... Figure 4 As shown, in Blender software, a gradient brush can be used to draw the self-illuminating flow direction from a point with a gray value of 0 (starting point H0) to a point with a gray value of 1 (ending point H1), and the drawing result is used as the self-illuminating flow information.

[0112] Optionally, during the drawing process in the direction of self-illumination flow, the gradient brush can be linear, that is, as... Figure 4 As shown, on the self-illuminating flow path drawn between H0 and H1, the grayscale value changes linearly between 0 and 1.

[0113] It's important to note that during the self-illuminating flow direction drawing process, to maintain the continuity of the self-illumination on the legs of the virtual character A, the parameters (such as thickness, slope, etc.), range, and algorithm of the gradient brush in Blender can be controlled to ensure that the gradient brush draws continuously within the drawing area of ​​the virtual character A's legs (meaning that the corresponding grayscale range should be continuous across the continuous drawing area on the surface of the virtual character A's legs). The gradient brush slope can refer to the drawing rate of the gradient brush between 0 and 1. The gradient brush algorithm can be a linear algorithm or a gamma algorithm, etc. The gradient brush range refers to the range of grayscale values ​​associated with the brush drawing order.

[0114] It should be noted that during the process of rendering the self-illuminating flow direction of the legs of virtual character A, the grayscale map covers the rendering area corresponding to the legs of virtual character A. Therefore, the rendering of the self-illuminating flow direction does not affect other areas on the surface of virtual character A.

[0115] Specifically, in step E32, the self-illuminating flow information obtained in step E31 is baked into a texture to obtain a grayscale texture P2 (equivalent to the second texture mentioned above). This grayscale texture P2 is then imported into the Unity game engine.

[0116] It should be noted that the baked grayscale map can be stored separately in the storage space so that the grayscale map (or self-illuminating flow information) can be flexibly replaced and modified later; or it can be stored in the transparency channel of the self-illuminating map of the virtual character A's legs to save the workload of one map sampling in the subsequent rendering process.

[0117] Specifically, in step E33, the UV texture P1 of the virtual character A's leg model is sampled to obtain the initial self-emission parameter, denoted as emission (equivalent to the first parameter mentioned above); the grayscale texture P2 is sampled using the UV texture P1 of the virtual character A's leg model (equivalent to the first texture mentioned above) to obtain the self-emission flow parameter, denoted as emissionFlow (equivalent to the third parameter mentioned above); then, the preset one-dimensional noise texture P3 (equivalent to the third texture mentioned above) is sampled using the self-emission flow parameter emissionFlow to obtain the noise parameter, denoted as noise (equivalent to the second parameter mentioned above).

[0118] It should be noted that the aforementioned preset one-dimensional noise map P4 can be a pre-processed noise map, where pre-processing includes: fade-in processing and fade-out processing, etc.

[0119] Figure 5 This is a schematic diagram of an optional noise information map according to an embodiment of the present invention, such as... Figure 5 As shown, the information carried in the noise information graph P5 is the aforementioned noise parameter. Figure 5 The point with a gray value of 0 corresponding to the left edge of the center (the starting point of the self-illuminating flow). Figure 5 The point with a gray value of 1 corresponding to the right edge of the center (the endpoint of the self-illuminating flow).

[0120] Still as Figure 5 As shown, the self-illuminating pulse effect on the legs of virtual character A can be achieved by moving the noise infographic P5. By modifying or replacing the noise infographic P5, the self-illuminating effect on the legs of virtual character A can be adjusted (such as the gradient of appearance and disappearance, the noise distribution pattern, the pulse coverage range, etc.).

[0121] Specifically, in step E34, the displacement of the noise information graph P5 is controlled by controlling the displacement control parameters (including the time control parameter Time and the speed control parameter speed), thereby achieving a self-illuminating flow effect.

[0122] Optionally, the time control parameter Time can control the automatic flow of the self-illumination on the legs of the virtual character A according to a specified time rule, and the speed control parameter speed can control the speed at which the self-illumination on the legs of the virtual character A flows automatically.

[0123] The method for adjusting the emission flow parameter corresponding to the noise information map P5 using the time control parameter Time and the speed control parameter speed can be shown in the following formula (1):

[0124] emissoonFlow=emissoonFlow+Time×Speed ​​Formula (1)

[0125] In formula (1), emissionFlow on the right side of the equation represents the self-luminous flow parameter before adjustment, and emissionFlow on the left side of the equation represents the self-luminous flow parameter after adjustment.

[0126] Specifically, in step E35, the noise parameter is multiplied by the initial self-emission parameter and input into the rendering pipeline for rendering, which can obtain the self-emission flow effect of the legs of the virtual character A.

[0127] Figure 6 This is a schematic diagram of an optional self-illuminating rendering result according to an embodiment of the present invention, such as... Figure 6 As shown, by performing self-illuminating flow rendering using the method provided in this embodiment of the invention, the following can be obtained: Figure 6 The virtual model shown has a self-illuminating effect.

[0128] The self-illuminating rendering method provided by this invention can realize the flowing effect of self-illumination of virtual models, thereby enhancing the dynamic sense of the virtual scene corresponding to the virtual model and improving the user experience.

[0129] The self-illuminating rendering method provided by this invention can also use Bloom technology. Bloom technology can reproduce the imaging of a real-world camera and can be used for computer image effects in video games, demonstrations, and high dynamic range rendering. Image effects generated by Bloom (such as stripes, feathers, etc.) can extend from the edges of bright areas into the computer image, producing a strong sense of light illusion, making the scene effect difficult for the camera or the player's naked eye to capture.

[0130] It is worth noting that the beneficial effect of the method provided by the present invention is that it can achieve the self-illuminating flow effect of virtual models without the need for additional texture placement, thereby avoiding the dependence of self-illuminating flow rendering on the number of faces of the model itself, and improving the control accuracy and rendering stability of self-illuminating flow.

[0131] It is noteworthy that the key technical point of the method provided by this invention is as follows: First, the self-illuminating flow information of the model is directly drawn in the model making software, wherein the self-illuminating flow information is determined by a grayscale texture; then, the self-illuminating flow direction determined by the self-illuminating flow information is drawn on the model using a gradient brush to obtain the drawing result; the drawing result is imported into a preset game engine, and the drawing result is used as a UV map for noise map sampling in the shader of the game engine to obtain the sampling result; and self-illuminating rendering is performed based on the sampling result.
