Description

Technical Field

[0001] This disclosure relates to the field of image rendering technology, and more specifically, to an image rendering method, apparatus, storage medium, and electronic device. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, in order to render more realistic and sufficient lighting information in game scenes, ForwardPlus lighting rendering technology can be used. This technology can divide the game scene into multiple regions and calculate all virtual light sources that may affect virtual objects in each region, thereby drawing the corresponding game scene based on the above information.

[0003] However, incorrect lighting of virtual objects in a game scene can lead to serious performance issues. To avoid this, developers can use lighting debugging methods to locate the problematic lights. During debugging, developers can determine whether performance issues exist in different areas based on the light placement information in the game scene, and then manually control the on / off state of all virtual light sources to pinpoint the problematic one. However, this debugging process is complex and time-consuming, resulting in low efficiency in lighting debugging.

[0004] There is currently no effective solution to the above problems. Summary of the Invention

[0019] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present disclosure, the technical solutions of the present disclosure will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present disclosure, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present disclosure, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort should fall within the scope of protection of the present disclosure.

[0020] It should be noted that the terms "first," "second," etc., in the specification, claims, and accompanying drawings of this disclosure 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 this disclosure described herein can be implemented in orders other than those illustrated or described herein.

[0021] In one possible implementation, the inventors, after practical experience and careful research, found that the efficiency of adjusting lighting in game scenes remains low. Therefore, this disclosure proposes an image rendering method that divides the graphical user interface into multiple regions and renders the number of virtual light sources corresponding to each region separately. This achieves the goal of directly displaying the number of virtual light sources on the graphical user interface, allowing developers to intuitively see the number of virtual light sources in different regions. Furthermore, based on the intuitively seen number of virtual light sources, it can determine whether there are performance problems in different regions, thereby improving lighting adjustment efficiency, simplifying the workload of developers, and enhancing game performance. This solves the technical problem of low efficiency in adjusting lighting in game scenes in related technologies.

[0022] The methods and embodiments described above in this disclosure can be executed on mobile terminals, computer terminals, or similar computing devices. Taking a mobile terminal as an example, the mobile terminal can be a smartphone, tablet computer, PDA, mobile internet device, PAD, game console, or other terminal device. Figure 1 This is a hardware structure block diagram of a mobile terminal for an image rendering method according to an embodiment of this disclosure. Figure 1 As shown, a mobile terminal may include one or more ( Figure 1 Only one is shown in the diagram. Processor 102 (processor 102 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 memory 104 for storing data. In one embodiment of this disclosure, it may also include: input / output device 108 and display device 110.

[0023] In some optional embodiments primarily focused on gaming scenarios, the aforementioned device may also provide a human-computer interaction interface with a touch-sensitive surface.

[0024] In one embodiment of this disclosure, the image rendering method can run on a local terminal device or a server. When the image rendering method 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.

[0025] For example, the local terminal device may be a mobile terminal, a computer terminal, or a similar computing device, and may include a display screen and a processor. The display screen is used to present a graphical user interface, which includes a game scene. The processor is used to run the game, generate the graphical user interface, and control the display of the graphical user interface on the display screen.

[0026] Those skilled in the art will understand that Figure 1 The structure shown is for illustrative purposes only and does not limit the structure of the mobile terminal described above. 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.

[0027] According to one embodiment of this disclosure, an embodiment of an image rendering method 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.

[0028] In one possible implementation, this disclosure provides an image rendering method that provides a graphical user interface through a terminal device, wherein the terminal device may be the aforementioned local terminal device or a client device in the aforementioned cloud interaction system. Figure 2 This is a flowchart of an image rendering method according to one embodiment of the present disclosure, such as... Figure 2 As shown, the method includes the following steps:

[0029] Step S202: Divide the graphical user interface into multiple regions.

[0030] The aforementioned graphical user interface can be an interface displayed on a screen of a mobile terminal, computer terminal, or other device. Developers can use this interface to adjust the lighting in the game scene and achieve the purpose of game development.

[0031] In one optional embodiment, the graphical user interface (GUI) can be divided based on its row and column coordinates, specifically into multiple regions of equal size, as described above. For example, it can be...

[0032] Step S204: Determine the number of virtual light sources corresponding to multiple regions, wherein the virtual light source is used to represent the light source located in the virtual scene, and the multiple regions are respectively located within the illumination range of the corresponding virtual light source.

[0033] The aforementioned virtual light sources can be placed in virtual scenes, such as light sources in game scenes. Because the virtual light sources are placed in different positions in game scenes, and the illumination range of different virtual light sources is different, the amount of influence of virtual light sources on different areas varies.

[0034] In one optional embodiment, the area within the illumination range of a virtual light source can be determined based on the placement of the virtual light source in the game scene and the illumination range of the virtual light source. After determining the area within the illumination range of all virtual light sources in the game scene, the virtual light sources corresponding to different areas can be determined by statistically analyzing the above information, thereby determining the number of virtual light sources corresponding to different areas.

[0035] In another alternative embodiment, the illumination received by each of the multiple regions can be calculated to determine which virtual light sources the region falls within the illumination range of. These virtual light sources can then be used as the virtual light sources corresponding to the region. By counting the number of these virtual light sources, the number of virtual light sources corresponding to the region can be obtained.

[0036] Step S206: Render the number of virtual light sources corresponding to multiple regions onto the multiple regions respectively.

[0037] In one alternative embodiment, the number of virtual light sources corresponding to each region in multiple regions can be directly displayed in each of the multiple regions of the graphical user interface. That is, different numbers representing the number of virtual light sources can be directly displayed in different regions of the graphical user interface.

[0038] In another alternative embodiment, to avoid the high overhead of directly displaying numbers on the graphical user interface, images corresponding to the number of virtual light sources can be sampled from a digit texture map, where the digit texture map is a two-dimensional texture map recording images of multiple numbers. Then, image rendering is used to display different numbers in different areas of the graphical user interface.

[0039] In at least some embodiments of this disclosure, the graphical user interface is divided into multiple regions, and the number of virtual light sources corresponding to each region is rendered on the multiple regions respectively. This achieves the purpose of directly displaying the number of virtual light sources on the graphical user interface, allowing developers to intuitively see the number of virtual light sources in different regions on the graphical user interface. Furthermore, based on the intuitively seen number of virtual light sources, it is possible to determine whether there are performance problems in different regions. This achieves the technical effect of improving lighting debugging efficiency, simplifying the complexity of developers' work, and improving game performance, thereby solving the technical problem of low efficiency in lighting debugging of game scenes in related technologies.

[0040] In the above embodiments of this disclosure, the number of virtual light sources corresponding to multiple regions is rendered on multiple regions respectively, including: obtaining coordinate information corresponding to multiple regions; sampling a preset texture map based on the coordinate information of multiple regions and the number of virtual light sources corresponding to multiple regions to obtain sampling results corresponding to multiple regions, wherein the preset texture map is used to represent different numbers; and rendering the sampling results corresponding to multiple regions on multiple regions respectively.

[0041] The aforementioned preset texture map can be as follows: Figure 3 The digital texture shown contains numbers 1-64, with 8 numbers per row, for a total of 8 rows.

[0042] In one optional embodiment, the multiple regions are divided according to the row and column values ​​of the graphical user interface. Therefore, the coordinate information corresponding to each region in the multiple regions can be determined first, that is, the row and column values ​​of each region. Then, the sampling result corresponding to each region can be obtained through the following steps: based on the coordinate information of the multiple regions and the number of virtual light sources corresponding to the multiple regions, the sampling texture coordinates corresponding to the multiple regions are determined; based on the sampling texture coordinates corresponding to the multiple regions, a preset texture map is sampled to obtain the sampling result corresponding to the multiple regions.

[0043] For example, as Figure 3 Taking the digital texture map shown as an example, the sampled texture coordinates NUV can be obtained using the following formula:

[0044] NUV=fract(UV*AB) / 8.0+VEC2((C-1)%8,C / 8)*0.125,

[0045] Where AB represents the coordinate information corresponding to each region, that is, the row and column values ​​of each region; C represents the number of virtual light sources corresponding to each region; UV represents the two-dimensional coordinate values ​​of the texture; fract() is a built-in function when the GPU executes the shader, which means taking the decimal part of the calculation result and discarding the integer part; VEC2() is a built-in variable when the GPU executes the shader, representing a structure composed of two float types.

[0046] Through the above embodiments, by sampling the digital texture map, the number of virtual light sources can be rendered without directly rendering the number of virtual light sources onto the graphical user interface, thus reducing the processor's runtime and computational load. Based on the region's coordinate information and the number of virtual light sources, the sampling texture coordinates are determined, achieving accurate sampling of the digital texture map and improving the accuracy of the sampling results rendered on the graphical user interface.

[0047] In the above embodiments of this disclosure, determining the number of virtual light sources corresponding to multiple regions includes: acquiring coordinate information of multiple regions; reading attribute information of virtual light sources corresponding to multiple regions from a preset storage space based on the coordinate information of multiple regions, wherein the preset storage space is used to store attribute information of virtual light sources corresponding to different regions; and determining the number of virtual light sources corresponding to multiple regions based on the attribute information of virtual light sources corresponding to multiple regions.

[0048] The aforementioned preset storage space can be used to store the attribute information of virtual light sources corresponding to different regions. For example, the attribute information of virtual light sources corresponding to different regions can be stored in an array. For instance, the attribute information of virtual light sources can be saved in the array Light(i), where i represents different regions. The attribute information can be the attributes, position, intensity, etc. of the virtual light source, but it is not limited to these and can also be other information.

[0049] In one optional embodiment, during the image rendering process, the array index storing the attribute information of the virtual light source, i.e., the specific value of i, can be calculated by the coordinates of each region. Then, by reading the data of the array corresponding to the array index, the attribute information of the virtual light source can be obtained. Finally, by counting the virtual light sources, the number of virtual light sources can be obtained.

[0050] Through the above embodiments, by pre-storing the attribute information of virtual light sources corresponding to different regions in a preset storage space, the attribute information of virtual light sources can be directly read from this space during the image rendering process, without having to perform calculations on the virtual light sources corresponding to different regions, thus achieving the effect of reducing the amount of computation in the image rendering process.

[0051] In the above embodiments of this disclosure, the method further includes: performing calculations on the illumination received by multiple regions to determine virtual light sources corresponding to the multiple regions; and storing the attribute information of the virtual light sources corresponding to the multiple regions into a preset storage space.

[0052] In one alternative embodiment, before image rendering, the illumination received by each pre-defined region can be calculated in advance. If a region is within the influence range of a certain illumination, the light object (including information such as the light's attributes, position, and intensity) is saved into the aforementioned array Light(i). By traversing all regions, the Light arrays of all regions can be saved in the array A = {Light(1), Light(2), Light(3), Light(i)...}.

[0053] Through the above embodiments, by calculating the illumination received by a region to determine the attribute information of the virtual light source, the effect of accurately determining the number of virtual light sources in different regions is achieved.

[0054] In the above embodiments of this disclosure, rendering the number of virtual light sources corresponding to multiple regions onto multiple regions respectively includes: determining rendering parameters corresponding to multiple regions based on the number of virtual light sources corresponding to multiple regions, wherein the rendering parameters are used to characterize whether there is a performance problem in each of the multiple regions; and rendering the number of virtual light sources corresponding to multiple regions onto multiple regions respectively according to the rendering parameters corresponding to multiple regions.

[0055] The rendering parameters mentioned above can be parameters such as rendering color, rendering size, and rendering style. In this embodiment of the disclosure, rendering color is used as an example for explanation, but it is not limited to this.

[0056] In one optional embodiment, the presence of a performance problem in each region can be determined based on the number of virtual light sources corresponding to each region in multiple regions. If no performance problem exists, the number of virtual light sources corresponding to each region can be rendered in the corresponding region according to preset rendering parameters. These preset rendering parameters can be general, default parameters for rendering images on a graphical user interface. If a performance problem exists, the number of virtual light sources corresponding to each region can be rendered in the corresponding region according to a highlighting method, so that developers can locate the region with the performance problem immediately.

[0057] For example, as Figure 4 The image rendering result shown is used as an example for illustration, such as... Figure 4 As shown, the graphical user interface can first be divided into 32 equally sized regions. After determining the number of virtual lights corresponding to each region, the number of virtual lights for each region can be rendered in the corresponding region. Secondly, based on the number of virtual lights for each region, it can be determined whether there are performance issues for that region. If there are no performance issues, the number of virtual lights for each region is rendered using the default color (e.g., black). Figure 4 As shown in the hollow cube; if performance issues arise, the number of virtual light sources corresponding to each area will be rendered according to the highlight color (e.g., red), such as... Figure 4 As shown in the solid square.

[0058] In the above embodiments of this disclosure, after rendering the number of virtual light sources corresponding to multiple regions onto multiple regions, the method further includes: responding to an operation command acting on a graphical user interface to determine the target region corresponding to the operation command; reading the attribute information of the virtual light source corresponding to the target region from a preset storage space based on the target coordinate information of the target region; and displaying the attribute information of the virtual light source corresponding to the target region on the graphical user interface.

[0059] The target area mentioned above can be any area in the multiple regions where performance issues exist. The operation instructions mentioned above can be generated by the developer clicking on the target area in the graphical user interface, or by the developer clicking on the corresponding control in the target area in the graphical user interface, but are not limited to these; they can also be generated by other operation methods.

[0060] In one alternative embodiment, to avoid the development and debugging difficulties caused by developers repeatedly trying to traverse all the lights, developers can determine whether there are performance issues in each area based on the color of the numbers rendered on the graphical user interface. If a developer finds a performance issue in a target area, the developer can click on the target area. At this time, the attribute information of the virtual light source corresponding to the target area can be read from the array A = {Light(1), Light(2), Light(3), Light(i)...} and displayed on the graphical user interface in a pop-up window. This allows developers to quickly set up and debug the virtual light source, avoiding the development and debugging difficulties caused by repeatedly trying to traverse all the virtual light sources.

[0061] For example, still using Figure 4 The image rendering result shown is used as an example for illustration, such as... Figure 4 As shown, after the developer clicks on the area in the upper right corner, the area in the upper right corner can be identified as the target area, and the attribute information of the virtual light source corresponding to the area can be read from the array A = {Light(1),Light(2),Light(3),Light(i)......}. For example, the attribute information of 5 virtual light sources can be read, namely Spot Light(2), Spot Light(1), Point Light(1), Spot Light(11) and Spot Light.

[0062] The following is combined Figure 5 A preferred embodiment of this disclosure will be described in detail below. Figure 5 The method may include the following steps:

[0063] Step S51: Divide the screen into regions of the same size composed of rows and columns;

[0064] Step S52: Calculate the amount of light and light objects received by each area, and form an array.

[0065] Optionally, the illumination received by each region can be calculated. If the region is within the influence range of a certain illumination, the light object (including the light's attributes, position, intensity, etc.) is saved into an array Light(i) (where i is the region number). All regions are traversed, and all the obtained Light arrays are saved in array A = {Light(1), Light(2), Light(3), Light(i)...}.

[0066] Step S53: Obtain the coordinates of a certain area on the current screen, and obtain the number of lights based on the array.

[0067] Optionally, during rendering, the index of array A can be calculated using screen coordinates, and the number of lights can be obtained.

[0068] Step S54: Calculate the sampled texture coordinates of the digital texture map using screen coordinates.

[0069] Alternatively, the NUV of digital image sampling can be calculated using the screen coordinates and number of lights in the area, according to the formula described above.

[0070] Step S55: Render the number of lights in the corresponding area of ​​the screen.

[0071] Optionally, after sampling the digital texture map according to the sampling texture coordinates, the sampled result can be rendered onto the screen, which can display in real time the amount of light influence on each area of ​​the current screen within its spatial range.

[0072] Step S56: Obtain the index of the light array corresponding to the area clicked by the mouse.

[0073] Step S57: Display a list of lights affected by the area on the screen (composed of objects containing basic attributes of the light tubes, such as position, intensity, and type).

[0074] Optionally, when the mouse clicks on the screen, the current screen space position of the mouse is obtained, and the corresponding light information is obtained according to array A. Then, the above-mentioned light list is generated and displayed on the screen.

[0075] The solutions provided by the above embodiments of this disclosure offer a digital display method to intuitively represent the number of lights and the list of lights illuminating different areas of the current screen. This allows developers to intuitively and accurately obtain the number of lights and the list of lights in a certain area on the screen, and to quickly locate lights with performance problems and adjust their parameters. This improves the speed of performance optimization for developers in large-area, high-quantity lighting game scenes, and is an effective tool to assist developers in completing lighting debugging.
