[0002] In related technologies, the shaders that come with the game engine do not support intuitive coloring methods. When creating special effects coloring files, it is often necessary to redraw the textures. When a special effect contains a dozen or even dozens of sub-effects, the cost of modification is high.

[0003] Specifically, in order to meet the large number of special effects and color requirements of game projects, the current technical means are to readjust the hue, saturation and other parameters of the texture to achieve the desired effect, or to adjust the shader parameters one by one.

[0004] The above method requires adjusting each sub-effect individually. Different effects correspond to different shader parameters, making the adjustment process tedious; in addition, when modifying parameters fails to achieve the desired coloring effect, the texture needs to be redrawn, increasing the game package size. Summary of the Invention

[0024] To make the above-mentioned objects, features, and advantages of this disclosure more apparent and understandable, the disclosure will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this disclosure, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments in this disclosure, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art are within the scope of protection of this disclosure.

[0025] Currently, there is no efficient and convenient solution for the large number of special effects coloring requirements in game projects.

[0026] Based on this, this disclosure relates to providing an efficient and convenient special effects coloring solution, which allows artists to use external tools to adjust parameters such as hue, saturation, and brightness of special effects as a whole, and can refresh the shader program code of special effects in the game engine in real time, allowing artists to intuitively see the adjusted special effects.

[0027] This disclosure provides a special effects coloring tool that communicates with a game engine. Responding to control operations on the tool's application interface, the tool can determine the target special effect requiring coloring adjustment and the target coloring parameters to be rendered. By triggering the coloring parameter adjustment control, the coloring parameter information of the target special effect recorded in the material file can be adjusted to the target coloring parameters. Furthermore, by triggering the coloring control, a corresponding special effects coloring command can be generated, triggering the game engine to re-render the target special effect according to the command. This method provides a rapid special effects coloring solution. Artists can use an external special effects coloring tool to batch adjust the coloring parameters of special effects in material files and send commands to the game engine for real-time rendering, making the special effects coloring process simple and convenient.

[0028] Reference Figure 1 This diagram illustrates a flowchart of a rendering method provided in this embodiment. The method utilizes an application interface for a special effects coloring tool provided via a terminal. This tool communicates with a game engine, and the game engine's material files record coloring parameter information for various special effects. Specifically, the method may include the following steps:

[0029] Step 101: Respond to the control operation on the application interface, determine the target effect that needs to be adjusted for coloring, and determine the target coloring parameters of the target effect.

[0030] In this disclosure, various terminals can be used to execute the steps of a rendering method. These terminals can be computers, mobile phones, tablets, game consoles, PDAs, and other terminal devices; the specific type of terminal device is not limited in this application. The rendering method of this disclosure can be applied to the game development process.

[0031] The terminal of this disclosure embodiment includes a graphical user interface, which can provide an application interface for a special effects dyeing tool. The special effects dyeing tool of this disclosure embodiment is used to achieve rapid dyeing of special effects. It is not integrated into the game engine, but is an external tool that can establish a communication connection with the game engine.

[0032] A game can be divided into two main parts: the game engine and the game resources. The game engine is a set of machine-readable code (instructions) designed for running a specific type of game. The game engine can call various game resources according to the game's design rules. Game resources are specifically represented by resource files, such as material files, scene files, and texture files. The material files in the game engine record the coloring parameters for various special effects.

[0033] In this embodiment of the disclosure, artists (users) can perform control operations in the application interface of the special effects coloring tool, such as touching the interface controls and responding to the control operations. They can determine the target special effects that need to be adjusted in terms of coloring parameters, and determine the target coloring parameters that the target special effects need to be rendered. That is, in this embodiment of the disclosure, artists can determine the target special effects to be re-rendered and the target coloring parameters that need to be rendered in the application interface of the special effects coloring tool.

[0034] Step 102: Respond to the trigger operation of the color parameter adjustment control in the application interface, and adjust the recorded color parameter information of the target effect to the target color parameter.

[0035] The interface of the special effects dyeing tool includes a dyeing parameter adjustment control, which is used to trigger the modification of the special effects dyeing parameters recorded in text form in the material file.

[0036] In this embodiment of the disclosure, the user can trigger the coloring parameter adjustment control and respond to the trigger operation to adjust the coloring parameter information of the target effect to the target coloring parameter. That is, in this embodiment of the disclosure, the effect material data in the material file can be modified in batches by external tools without the need for artists to modify it manually.

[0037] Step 103: Respond to the trigger operation of the color control in the application interface, generate the corresponding special effect coloring instruction, and send the special effect coloring instruction to the game engine so that the game engine can re-render the target special effect according to the special effect coloring instruction.

[0038] The application interface of the special effects coloring tool includes a coloring control, which is used to trigger the sending of special effects coloring commands to the game engine and refresh the rendering effect of the corresponding special effects.

[0039] In this embodiment of the disclosure, the user can trigger the coloring control, respond to the triggering operation, generate a corresponding special effect coloring instruction, and send the special effect coloring instruction to the game engine. After obtaining the special effect coloring instruction, the game engine can re-render the target special effect according to the special effect coloring instruction to obtain the corresponding rendering effect.

[0040] In summary, this embodiment provides a special effects coloring tool that communicates with a game engine. Responding to control operations on the tool's interface, it can determine the target special effect requiring coloring adjustment and the target coloring parameters to be rendered. By triggering the coloring parameter adjustment control, the coloring parameter information of the target special effect recorded in the material file can be adjusted to the target coloring parameters. Furthermore, by triggering the coloring control, a corresponding special effects coloring instruction can be generated, triggering the game engine to re-render the target special effect according to the instruction. By employing this method, a rapid coloring solution for special effects is provided. Artists can use an external special effects coloring tool to batch adjust the coloring parameters of special effects in material files and send instructions to the game engine for real-time rendering, making the special effects coloring process simple and convenient.

[0041] Reference Figure 2 This diagram illustrates a flowchart of another rendering method provided in this embodiment. The method utilizes an application interface for a special effects coloring tool provided via a terminal. This tool communicates with a game engine, and the game engine's material files record coloring parameter information for various special effects. Specifically, the method may include the following steps:

[0042] Step 201: Respond to the control operation on the application interface, determine the target effect that needs to be adjusted for coloring, and determine the target coloring parameters of the target effect.

[0043] In this embodiment of the disclosure, a special effects coloring tool can be used to achieve rapid and intuitive coloring of special effects. The application interface of the special effects coloring tool can include multiple controls, respond to the operations of the controls on the application interface, and determine the target special effect that needs to be recolored, as well as the target coloring parameters that the target special effect needs to be rendered. The special effects coloring tool can be written in Python.

[0044] In one optional embodiment of this disclosure, step 201, in response to control operations on the application interface, determines the target effect requiring color adjustment and the target color parameters for the target effect, which may specifically include the following sub-steps:

[0045] In response to multiple control operations on the application interface, the target effect that needs to be adjusted for color is determined in sequence, the target color parameters of the target effect are determined, and the target material file that records the color parameter information of the target effect is determined.

[0046] In this embodiment of the disclosure, the user can perform multiple control operations in the application interface. Based on these multiple control operations, the target effect that needs to be recolored is determined in sequence, the target coloring parameters that the target effect needs to be rendered are determined, and the target material file that records the coloring parameter information of the target effect is determined. This embodiment of the disclosure can determine the file storage path of the target material file, and the user can quickly find the target material file to modify the coloring parameters.

[0047] Reference Figure 3 The diagram shows an application interface of a special effects coloring tool according to an embodiment of this disclosure. Users can determine the name of the target special effect to be adjusted and the file storage path of the material file containing the coloring parameter information of the target special effect (the location of the special effects file in the diagram) through control operations. By sliding the control, the target coloring parameters to be rendered for the target special effect can be determined. The adjustable coloring parameters may include hue, saturation, and brightness. Furthermore, the application interface may include a backup control for backing up the initial coloring parameter information of the special effect.

[0048] Step 202: Respond to the trigger operation of the color parameter adjustment control in the application interface, and adjust the recorded color parameter information of the target effect to the target color parameter.

[0049] In this embodiment of the disclosure, the application interface of the special effects dyeing tool includes a dyeing parameter adjustment control. The tool responds to the trigger operation of the dyeing parameter adjustment control and can adjust the dyeing parameter information of the target special effects, which is recorded in text form, to the target dyeing parameters.

[0050] In one optional embodiment of this disclosure, step 202, responding to a trigger operation on the color parameter adjustment control in the application interface, adjusts the recorded color parameter information of the target effect to the target color parameter, which may specifically include the following sub-steps:

[0051] In response to the trigger operation of the color parameter adjustment control in the application interface, the color parameter information of the target effect recorded in the target material file is adjusted to the target color parameter.

[0052] In this embodiment of the disclosure, responding to the trigger operation of the color parameter adjustment control can adjust the color parameter information of the target effect recorded in the target material file to the target color parameter.

[0053] In one optional embodiment of this disclosure, the target effect includes multiple target sub-effects, and the coloring parameter information of the target effect includes the coloring parameter information of multiple target sub-effects. In step 202, in response to the trigger operation of the coloring parameter adjustment control in the application interface, the recorded coloring parameter information of the target effect is adjusted to the target coloring parameter. Specifically, this may include the following sub-steps:

[0054] In response to the trigger operation of the color parameter adjustment control in the application interface, the recorded color parameter information of multiple target sub-effects is batch adjusted to the target color parameter.

[0055] A special effect can be composed of multiple sub-effects. Game special effects can include shattering particle effects, dissipating particle effects, Fresnel effects, translation effects, distortion effects, stretching effects, double-layer effects, etc.

[0056] In this embodiment of the disclosure, the target effect includes multiple target sub-effects. The coloring parameter information corresponding to the multiple target sub-effects that make up the target effect can be found by the effect coloring tool, and then the coloring parameter information corresponding to the multiple target sub-effects can be modified in batches.

[0057] In this disclosure, artists specify the name of the effect to be adjusted and the storage path of its material file. The effect coloring tool can then locate the material file containing the coloring parameters for all sub-effects. The tool can then batch adjust the coloring parameters in the material files. For example, the tool will iterate through all associated sub-effects using the parent material file and then modify the coloring parameters of each sub-effect simultaneously.

[0058] The game engine's codebase includes shader code for various special effects. The special effects coloring tool is closely related to this shader code. In this embodiment, a new global coloring function is added to the game engine; that is, the game engine's codebase also includes a callable preset global coloring function. This preset global coloring function can be called by the shader code for various special effects. Specifically, this can be achieved through a header file, allowing the shader code for various special effects to call this preset global coloring function for coloring.

[0059] Step 203: Respond to the trigger operation of the color control in the application interface, generate the corresponding special effect coloring instruction, and send the special effect coloring instruction to the game engine, so that the game engine controls the shader program code of the target special effect to call the preset global coloring function to re-render the target special effect according to the special effect coloring instruction, and obtain the corresponding special effect.

[0060] In this embodiment of the disclosure, responding to a trigger operation applied to the coloring control can generate corresponding special effect coloring instructions. For example... Figure 3 As shown, users can enter command information in a designated area of ​​the application interface, and then click the coloring control to generate the corresponding special effect coloring command.

[0061] After receiving the effect coloring instruction, the game engine can control the shader program code of the target effect to call the preset global coloring function to re-render the target effect and obtain the corresponding effect.

[0062] In one optional embodiment of this disclosure, in step 203, the game engine controls the shader program code of the target effect to call a preset global shading function to re-render the target effect according to the special effect shading instruction, so as to obtain the corresponding special effect. Specifically, it may include the following sub-steps:

[0063] If the target effect is a first-class effect, the game engine, according to the effect coloring instructions, controls the shader program code of the target effect to call the preset global coloring function to render the target effect as the first-class effect corresponding to the target coloring parameters.

[0064] The first type of effect can be a non-grayscale effect. For this type of effect, a preset global coloring function can directly adjust the coloring parameters of the effect. These coloring parameters include one or more of hue, saturation, and brightness.

[0065] In this embodiment of the disclosure, if the target effect is a first type of effect, the game engine controls the shader program code of the target effect to call a preset global tinting function to render the target effect into the first effect corresponding to the target tinting parameters according to the effect tinting instruction. Specifically, the tinting parameter offset of the target effect can be directly adjusted to the target tinting parameter.

[0066] In one optional embodiment of this disclosure, in step 203, the game engine controls the shader program code of the target effect to call a preset global shading function to re-render the target effect according to the special effect shading instruction, so as to obtain the corresponding special effect. Specifically, it may include the following sub-steps:

[0067] If the target effect is a second type of effect, the game engine, according to the effect coloring instruction, controls the shader program code of the target effect to call the preset global coloring function to overlay the specified color corresponding to the target coloring parameters onto the target effect, thereby obtaining the corresponding second effect.

[0068] The second type of effect can be grayscale effect. For grayscale effect, the display color cannot be adjusted by offset adjustment. Therefore, for the second type of effect, the preset global coloring function provides a "coloring" function, which can overlay a specified color on the effect.

[0069] In this embodiment of the disclosure, if the target effect is a second type of effect, the game engine controls the shader program code of the target effect to call a preset global coloring function according to the effect coloring instruction to overlay the specified color corresponding to the target coloring parameter onto the target effect to obtain the corresponding second effect.

[0070] In one optional embodiment of this disclosure, the following steps may also be included:

[0071] After re-rendering the target effect, obtain the effect refresh command from the game engine, and refresh the display of the target effect in the application interface based on the effect refresh command.

[0072] Reference Figure 4 The diagram shown is a communication schematic between a special effects dyeing tool and a game engine according to an embodiment of this disclosure. The game engine has a communication interface, and the special effects dyeing tool can communicate with the game engine communication interface based on Telnet (remote terminal protocol).

[0073] In this embodiment, the special effects coloring tool communicates with the game engine port via Telnet. After the game engine completes the re-rendering of the target special effects, it can send a special effects refresh command to the special effects coloring tool. Based on the special effects refresh command, the special effects of the target special effects can be refreshed and displayed in the application interface of the special effects coloring tool, so that the adjusted effects can be quickly updated to the special effects coloring tool for artists to view.

[0074] In summary, this embodiment provides a special effects coloring tool that communicates with a game engine. Responding to control operations on the tool's interface, it can determine the target special effect requiring coloring adjustment and the target coloring parameters to be rendered. By triggering the coloring parameter adjustment control, the coloring parameter information of the target special effect recorded in the material file can be adjusted to the target coloring parameters. Furthermore, by triggering the coloring control, a corresponding special effects coloring instruction can be generated, triggering the game engine to re-render the target special effect according to the instruction. By employing this method, a rapid coloring solution for special effects is provided. Artists can use an external special effects coloring tool to batch adjust the coloring parameters of special effects in material files and send instructions to the game engine for real-time rendering, making the special effects coloring process simple and convenient.

[0075] This disclosure modifies the shader source code for special effects in the game engine, adding a unified global coloring function. It also allows for batch modification of special effects material data in engine files using external tools. Furthermore, this disclosure can send commands to the game engine to re-render special effects. The special effects coloring tool provided in this disclosure can adjust the hue, saturation, brightness, etc., of special effects files as a whole, and can refresh the shader program code of the game engine in real time, allowing artists to intuitively see the adjusted special effects. This disclosure can significantly reduce the workload of art production, greatly shorten the coloring time of special effects resources, and does not increase the size of the game package.

[0076] It should be noted that, for the sake of simplicity, the method embodiments are all described as a series of actions. However, those skilled in the art should understand that the embodiments of this disclosure are not limited to the described order of actions, because according to the embodiments of this disclosure, some steps can be performed in other orders or simultaneously.
