[0035] Various exemplary embodiments, features, and aspects of the present disclosure will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The same reference numerals in the accompanying drawings represent elements with the same or similar functions. Although various aspects of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, the drawings are not necessarily drawn to scale unless otherwise indicated.

[0036] The word “exemplary” is used exclusively herein to mean “serving as an example, example, or illustration.” Any embodiment described herein as “exemplary” is not necessarily to be construed as preferred or advantageous over other embodiments.

[0037] In addition, numerous specific details are provided in the following detailed description to better illustrate the present disclosure. Those skilled in the art will appreciate that the present disclosure can be practiced without certain specific details. In some instances, methods, means, components, and circuits well known to those skilled in the art are not described in detail in order to highlight the main points of the present disclosure.

[0038] In order to better understand the solutions of the embodiments of the present disclosure, the following briefly introduces relevant terms and concepts that may be involved in the embodiments of the present disclosure.

[0039] 1) Materials: used to render the visual appearance of virtual models in scenes such as animation, games, and film and television.

[0040] 2) Diffuse Map: Used to describe the color and texture of the model surface, usually including basic color, pattern, texture and other information.

[0041] 3) Normal Map: Used to enhance the details and depth of the model surface, and to produce a visual effect of height and depth by adjusting the normal direction of the model surface.

[0042] 4) Height or Displacement Map: Similar to a normal map, it is used to enhance the depth and details of the model surface, but it is achieved by modifying the actual vertex position.

[0043] 5) Light Map is used to enrich the lighting information of the model surface and to provide indirect lighting on static models.

[0044] 6) Texture Map is used to enhance the texture details of the model surface, making the rendered model surface look more realistic.

[0046] 8) USD (Universal Scene Description): is a three-dimensional (3D) computer graphics scene description format.

[0047] As mentioned above, the current method of making materials in the industry is mainly manual production, which has low production efficiency and high labor costs. In view of this, the embodiment of the present disclosure provides a material generation method, which can use artificial intelligence technology to automatically generate maps such as diffuse maps (Diffuse Map), normal maps (Normal Map) and height maps (Height or Displacement Map) required for material balls, and then automatically generate target material balls that can be applied to DCC software through programming, which greatly improves the production efficiency of materials. Specifically, the user can generate the corresponding basic maps by inputting the material keywords of the target material to be created, and then automatically generate materials according to the basic maps. It also supports preview modes such as thumbnail preview, tiled preview and 3D preview, and is simple and easy to use. It supports a variety of DCC software, such as DCC software under web client Web and application programs. It can be used as a plug-in for Unreal Engine to directly generate UE format material balls, and can also generate USD format material balls to adapt to other DCC software.

[0048] It should be understood that the material generation method of the embodiment of the present disclosure can be applied to various scenes that require material production, such as animation production scenes, game production scenes, film and television production scenes, etc., and the embodiment of the present disclosure is not limited to this.

[0049] The material generation method of the embodiment of the present disclosure can be deployed on various terminal devices through software or hardware modification. The terminal device involved in this application may refer to a device with a wireless connection function. The wireless connection function refers to the ability to connect to other terminal devices through wireless connection methods such as wifi and Bluetooth. The terminal device of this application may also have the function of communicating through a wired connection. The terminal device of this application may be a touch screen, a non-touch screen, or no screen. The touch screen device can be controlled by clicking, sliding, etc. on the display screen with a finger or a stylus. The non-touch screen device can be connected to an input device such as a mouse, keyboard, touch panel, etc., and the terminal device is controlled by the input device.

For example, the terminal device of this application can be a smart phone, a netbook, a tablet computer, a laptop computer, a wearable electronic device (such as a smart bracelet, a smart watch, etc.), a TV, a virtual reality device, etc.

[0050] The following Figures 1 to 9 The material generation method provided in the embodiment of the present disclosure is introduced in detail.

[0051] Figure 1 The flowchart of the method for generating dynamic effects according to an embodiment of the present disclosure is shown. The method can be applied to a client, for example, a web client for various production materials, an application client, and a plug-in for the Unreal Engine. Figure 1 As shown, the material generation method includes:

[0052] Step S11 : In response to a parameter configuration operation for a target material to be generated, determining basic generation parameters required for generating a base map, wherein the basic generation parameters include: material keywords for describing the target material.

[0053] In actual applications, the client can provide the user with a main interface for configuring basic generation parameters. The main interface can include functional controls for configuring basic generation parameters. For example, an input box can be provided in the main interface to facilitate users to enter material keywords, that is, the parameter configuration operation includes the operation of users entering material keywords.

[0054] The material keyword is used to describe the target material, or to describe the characteristics of the target material. For example, if a user wishes to create a material made of redwood, they can enter keywords such as "red, wood" in the input box to describe the target material they wish to create. It should be understood that users can enter material keywords for the target material they wish to create based on their actual needs, and this disclosure is not limited to this.

[0055] Step S12: Send a basic texture generation request to the server based on the basic generation parameters, obtain at least one basic texture returned by the server, and display the at least one basic texture.

[0056] Optionally, the base texture generation request may be used to instruct the server to generate at least one base texture according to the material keyword in the base generation parameters.

[0057] Among them, sending a basic map generation request to the server based on the basic generation parameters can be understood as calling the relevant interface provided by the server based on the basic generation parameters to instruct the server to generate a basic map. In actual applications, the server can be deployed with a basic map generation model, which can generate at least one basic map based on material keywords. Among them, the basic map generation model can adopt an artificial intelligence model known in the art, for example, a StableDiffusion model (a text-to-image generation model based on a potential diffusion model, which can generate images based on arbitrary text input), etc. The embodiment of the present disclosure does not limit the type of the basic map generation model, as long as it can generate images based on text.

[0058] It should be understood that a base texture generation request includes base generation parameters. Upon receiving the base texture generation request, the server can invoke a deployed base texture generation model to generate at least one base texture based on the material keywords in the base generation parameters. The server can then return the at least one base texture generated by the base texture generation model to the client. The base texture can be a diffuse texture, and based on the diffuse texture, other texture types such as normal maps, height maps, light maps, and texture maps can be generated, but are not limited to these.

[0059] Optionally, the main interface of the client may include a texture preview area, in which the base texture returned by the server may be displayed to preview the base texture, making it convenient for subsequent users to select any base texture to generate the target material.

[0060] In a possible implementation, the method may further display the base texture in at least one preview mode of thumbnail mode, tile mode, and 3D mode. The thumbnail mode may be used to display the base texture with a thumbnail effect, the tile mode may be used to display the base texture with a tile effect, and the 3D mode may be used to display the base texture with a 3D effect. For example, Figure 2 Shows the basic texture display effect in thumbnail mode. Figure 3 Shows the basic texture display effect in a tiling mode. Figure 4 It should be understood that the client can provide the user with the above three preview modes, and the user can select any preview mode to preview the basic texture.

[0061] Step S13 , in response to selecting a base texture from at least one displayed base texture and confirming to generate a material of the selected base texture, downloading a texture file of the selected base texture from the server, wherein the texture file is used to generate a target material.

[0062] Among them, the user can select one or more base textures from at least one displayed base texture; as mentioned above, the base texture returned by the server can be displayed in the texture preview area. For example, the user can select one or more base textures in the texture preview area of ​​the main interface, and then determine the material for generating the selected base texture through the button control for confirming the generation of material provided in the main interface. Then, the client can download the texture file of the selected base texture from the server and generate the target material based on the texture file.

[0063] Among them, the texture file can be an image file specifically used for graphics rendering and image processing, and the texture file of the base texture can specifically include the color, texture and other information contained in the base texture. The base texture returned by the above-mentioned server can be understood as a preview image, which serves as a display in the client, and the texture file of the base texture can be understood as the specific image information of the base texture. The server generates the base texture as a preview image and also generates the texture file of the base texture. Since the data volume of the preview image is much smaller than the data volume of the texture file, by downloading the texture file of the selected base texture from the server when the user selects any base texture and confirms the generation of the material of the selected base texture, it can avoid wasting the client's storage resources.

[0064] Among them, those skilled in the art can use material generation techniques known in the art, such as combining the above-mentioned DCC software, to generate a target material based on a texture file, and the embodiments of the present disclosure are not limited to this. For example, a base material ball can be created first, and then the texture file can be imported into the base material ball to obtain a target material ball.

[0065] As described above, the material generation method of the embodiment of the present disclosure can be applied to different clients such as web clients, application clients, and Unreal Engine plug-ins, and the material formats adapted by different clients are different. For example, web clients or application clients are usually adapted to materials in USD format, and Unreal Engine plug-ins are usually adapted to materials in UE format. In addition, materials are usually saved in the form of material balls in this field to more conveniently use materials to render and color models. Based on this, in a possible implementation, the method further includes: generating a target material ball adapted to the client based on the map file, and saving the target material ball to a pre-specified local folder or the client's default file directory.

[0066] Among them, those skilled in the art can adopt the material ball generation technology known in the art, for example, can be combined with the above-mentioned DCC software to realize the generation of a target material ball adapted to the client based on the map file. For example, if the client is a web client or an application client, the target material ball can be in USD format, and if the client is a plug-in of Unreal Engine, the target material ball can be in UE format. The user can pre-set the save address of the target material ball to save the target material ball in a specified local folder or the default file directory of the client (such as the Content directory of Unreal Engine, etc.), so as to facilitate the application of the target material ball in subsequent animation production scenes, game production scenes and other scenes. It should be understood that the embodiment of the present disclosure does not limit the save address of the target material ball.

[0067] According to the embodiment of the present disclosure, by configuring the material keyword of the target material in the client, the user can automatically instruct the server to generate at least one basic map. Then, by selecting any basic map and confirming the generation of the material of the selected basic map, the user can automatically download the map file from the server and automatically generate the corresponding target material, thereby realizing intelligent and automatic generation of target materials, which is conducive to improving material production efficiency and reducing labor costs.

[0068] Taking into account that, in actual situations, users may also have the need to generate base textures of different styles, base textures of different sizes, and different numbers of base textures. There may also be a need to control the proximity of the base texture to the material keyword and not expect the target material to have certain characteristics. In order to meet the above-mentioned various needs of users, in a possible implementation method, the above-mentioned basic generation parameters also include at least one of the following: the model type of the texture generation model used to generate the base texture, the image information of the base texture to be generated, the keyword relevance, and the reverse keyword; wherein the image information includes the size and quantity; the keyword relevance is used to control the proximity of the base texture generated by the base texture generation model to the material keyword; the reverse keyword is used to prevent the base texture generated by the base texture generation model from containing the features described by the reverse keyword.

[0069] In actual applications, the server can deploy multiple basic texture generation models. Different types of basic texture generation models can be used to generate basic textures of different styles, such as cartoon-style, realistic-style, and other types of basic textures. The client can recommend a default model type to the user. If the user does not adjust the recommended model type, it can be assumed that the user wishes to use the basic texture generation model of the default model type to generate the basic texture. The default model type can then be directly included in the basic generation parameters. Of course, the user can adjust the recommended model type. In this case, the basic generation parameters will include the user-adjusted model type.

[0070] The user can configure the image information of the base texture to instruct the server to generate a base texture that matches the image information, that is, to generate a base texture that matches the size and quantity specified in the image information. The client can recommend default image information to the user. If the user does not adjust the recommended image information, it can be assumed that the user wishes to generate a base texture based on the default image information, and the default image information can be directly included in the above-mentioned basic generation parameters. Of course, the user can adjust the image information, in which case the basic generation parameters will include the user-adjusted image information.

[0071] Among them, the user can control the degree of closeness between the basic texture generated by the basic texture generation model and the material keyword by configuring the keyword relevance. For example, the greater the keyword relevance, the closer the basic texture generated by the basic texture generation model is to the material keyword; the default keyword relevance can also be recommended to the user, and the user can adjust the recommended keyword relevance. The basic generation parameters can include the default keyword relevance or the adjusted keyword relevance.

[0072] The user can configure reverse keywords to exclude the features described by the reverse keywords from the base texture generated by the base texture generation model. For example, if the user does not want holes in redwood, they can enter "hole" in the reverse keyword input box. It should be understood that the user does not need to configure reverse keywords. Only when the user configures reverse keywords will the basic generation parameters above include the configured reverse keywords.

[0073] Based on the aforementioned basic generation parameters, the aforementioned basic texture generation request may also be used to instruct the server to invoke the basic texture generation model indicated by the model type in the basic generation parameters to generate at least one base texture based on the material keywords in the basic generation parameters, as well as at least one of image information, keyword relevance, and reverse keywords. If the basic generation parameters include a model type, the server invokes the basic texture generation model indicated by the model type in the basic generation parameters to generate the base texture. If the basic generation parameters do not include a model type, the server may invoke a default basic texture generation model to generate the base texture.

[0074] Among them, when using the basic map generation model to generate the basic map, the basic generation parameters need to include material keywords, which may include at least one of picture information, keyword relevance and reverse keywords, and may not include picture information, keyword relevance and reverse keywords; when the basic generation parameters include picture information, keyword relevance and reverse keywords, the basic map generation model generates at least one basic map according to the material keywords in the basic generation parameters, as well as the requirements of picture information, keyword relevance and reverse keywords; when the basic generation parameters do not include picture information, the basic map generation model can generate the basic map with default picture information, when the basic generation parameters do not include keyword relevance, the basic map generation model can generate the basic map with default keyword relevance, and when the basic generation parameters do not include reverse keywords, the basic map generation model can generate the basic map with material keywords.

[0075] Considering that the resolution of the base texture generated by the base texture generation model may be low in actual situations and may not meet the user's requirements for texture resolution, in one possible implementation, the base generation parameters may also include: the algorithm type and magnification factor of the magnification algorithm; wherein the magnification algorithm is used to magnify the resolution of the texture according to the specified magnification factor. The server may pre-deploy a magnification algorithm known in the art, such as Realesrgan-X4Plus, Realesrnet-X4Plus, etc. The disclosed embodiments do not limit the type of magnification algorithm; the user can configure the algorithm type and magnification factor of the desired magnification algorithm on the client to instruct the server to magnify the resolution of the base texture generated by the base texture generation model. It should be understood that the user can also choose not to magnify the resolution of the base texture. In this case, the algorithm type and magnification factor of the magnification algorithm do not need to be configured, that is, the basic generation parameters do not need to include the algorithm type and magnification factor of the magnification algorithm.

[0076] In the case where the basic generation parameters include the algorithm type and magnification factor of the magnification algorithm, the above-mentioned basic map generation request can also be used to instruct the server to call the magnification algorithm indicated by the algorithm type in the basic generation parameters to magnify the resolution of at least one basic map generated by the basic map generation model according to the magnification factor in the basic generation parameters, obtain at least one basic map with magnified resolution and return it to the client; that is, the at least one basic map returned by the server includes at least one basic map with magnified resolution; based on this, the client displays at least one basic map in the above-mentioned step 12, including: displaying at least one basic map with magnified resolution returned by the server; and then in the above-mentioned step S13, the user can select a basic map from the at least one displayed base map with magnified resolution, and when determining to generate the material of the selected base map, the client downloads the map file of the selected base map with magnified resolution from the server, and generates the target material based on the downloaded map file at this time.

[0077] Considering that in actual applications, users may also want to generate other types of maps based on base maps in addition to base maps. Other maps can enrich or enhance information that the base maps lack. For example, normal maps can enhance the details and depth of the model surface. In this way, more natural and realistic materials can be generated using the map files of base maps and other maps. In one possible implementation, the method may further include:

[0078] Step S14, in response to selecting a base texture from at least one displayed base texture and configuring other generation parameters for the selected base texture, sending a request to the server to generate another texture based on the other generation parameters configured for the selected base texture, obtaining at least one other texture returned by the server, and displaying the at least one other texture; wherein the other texture parameters include a texture type, and the texture type is used to indicate the type of the other texture to be generated;

[0079] Step S15, in response to confirming the generation of the material of the selected base texture and selecting other textures from at least one other texture displayed, downloading the texture file of the selected base texture and the texture files of the selected other textures from the server, and the texture files of the selected base texture and the texture files of the selected other textures are used to generate the target material.

[0080] Optionally, other texture generation requests may be used to instruct the server to call other texture generation models corresponding to the texture type, and generate at least one other texture based on the selected base texture.

[0081] As described above, other stickers are stickers generated based on the base sticker, so the user can select one or more base stickers from at least one displayed base sticker and configure other generation parameters for generating other stickers. For example, the user can select any base sticker and confirm the generation of other stickers corresponding to the selected base sticker. At this time, other parameter configuration interfaces can be displayed in the client to facilitate the user to configure other generation parameters. Specifically, the sticker type of other stickers that the user expects to generate can be configured.

[0082] The other maps may include, but are not limited to, at least one of the following: a normal map, a height map, a light map, and a texture map. In actual applications, the above-mentioned other parameter configuration interface may also display the map types of other maps available for user selection, so that the user can easily select at least one desired map type from the displayed map types. The other generation parameters include the map type selected by the user.

[0083] Sending a request to the server to generate another sticker based on the other generation parameters configured for the selected base sticker can be understood as calling the relevant server-provided API based on the other generation parameters to instruct the server to generate another sticker. In actual applications, the server can deploy multiple other sticker generation models, and different other sticker generation models can be used to generate other stickers of different sticker types. These other sticker generation models can employ artificial intelligence models known in the art, such as the DeepBump model, and are not limited to this in the present embodiment.

[0084] It should be understood that other texture generation requests include the above-mentioned other generation parameters. After receiving other texture generation requests, the server can call other texture generation models corresponding to the texture type (that is, other texture generation models used to generate basic textures of the texture type) according to the texture type in the other generation parameters to generate at least one other texture based on the selected basic texture, and then the server can return at least one other texture generated by the other texture generation models to the client.

[0085] As described above, the client's main interface can include a texture preview area to display the base texture returned by the server. The texture preview area can also simultaneously display other textures returned by the server, making it easier for users to select other textures they need to generate the target material. Based on this, the method can also display the base texture and other textures in at least one preview mode of thumbnail mode, tile mode, and 3D mode. For example, Figure 5 Shows a base texture, a normal map, and a height map for the selected base texture displayed in thumbnail mode.

[0086] In actual applications, for example, a user can first select a base texture in the texture preview area of ​​the main interface and simultaneously select one or more other textures corresponding to the base texture. The user can then use the button control provided in the main interface to confirm the material generation to determine the material to be generated for the selected base texture. The client can then download the texture file for the selected base texture and the texture files for the selected other textures from the server and generate the target material based on the texture files downloaded from the server. As described above, those skilled in the art can use material generation techniques known in the art to achieve target material generation based on texture files, and the present disclosure is not limited to this.

[0087] As described above, the material generation method of the embodiment of the present disclosure can be applied to different clients such as web clients, application clients, and Unreal Engine plug-ins, and the material formats adapted to different clients are different. Based on this, in a possible implementation method, the method may also include: generating a target material ball adapted to the client based on the texture file of the selected basic texture and the texture files of the selected other textures, and saving the target material ball to a pre-specified local folder or the client's default file directory.

[0088] Considering that in actual situations, the resolution of other textures generated by other texture generation models may also be lower and may not meet the user's texture resolution requirements, based on this, in one possible implementation, other texture parameters may also include: the algorithm type and magnification factor of the magnification algorithm, where the magnification algorithm is used to magnify the texture resolution according to the magnification factor. As described above, the server can pre-deploy a magnification algorithm known in the art, such as RealESRGAN-X4Plus, RealESRNet-X4Plus, and other types of magnification algorithms.

[0089] When configuring the texture type, the user can configure the algorithm type and magnification factor of the required magnification algorithm to instruct the server to amplify the resolution of other textures generated by other texture generation models. Taking into account that the amplification parameters (i.e., the algorithm type and magnification factor of the amplification algorithm) may not be configured when configuring the basic generation parameters, or the amplification parameters configured in the basic generation parameters no longer meet the requirements, in order to make the resolution of the selected base texture consistent with the resolution of other textures generated based on the selected base texture, if the amplification parameters are configured in the other generation parameters, the server can amplify the resolution of other textures according to the amplification parameters in the other generation parameters and also amplify the resolution of the selected base texture, thereby making the resolution of the selected base texture consistent with the resolution of other textures generated based on the selected base texture.

[0090] If the other generation parameters include an algorithm type and a magnification factor of an upscaling algorithm, the other texture generation request may also instruct the server to invoke the upscaling algorithm indicated by the algorithm type in the other texture parameters to upscale the resolution of at least one other texture generated by the other texture generation model and the selected base texture according to the magnification factor in the other texture parameters, thereby obtaining and returning the at least one other texture with upscaled resolution and the base texture with upscaled resolution to the client. In other words, the at least one base texture returned by the server may include the at least one base texture with upscaled resolution. Based on this, the client displaying the at least one other texture in step S14 includes displaying the at least one other texture with upscaled resolution and the base texture with upscaled resolution returned by the server. Furthermore, in step S15, after the user selects another texture from the displayed at least one other texture with upscaled resolution and determines to generate the material for the selected base texture, the client downloads the texture file of the selected base texture with upscaled resolution and the texture file of the selected other texture with upscaled resolution from the server, and generates the target material based on the downloaded texture files. In this way, you can use the texture files of the base texture and other textures with a larger resolution to generate a higher-resolution target material.

[0091] According to the embodiment of the present disclosure, users can automatically generate other maps by configuring other generation parameters, reducing the labor cost of making other maps, and can automatically use basic maps and other maps to generate more natural and realistic target materials, thereby improving the efficiency of material generation.

[0092] To facilitate understanding of the material generation method of the embodiment of the present disclosure, Figure 6 and Figure 7 The main interface for configuring basic parameters is shown. Figure 8 A configuration interface for generating other parameters is shown to introduce the parameter configuration process.

[0093] like Figure 6 As shown, the main interface mainly includes a parameter configuration area on the left, a texture preview area on the right, and a function button area at the bottom; wherein, the texture preview area can be used to preview the basic texture and other textures generated subsequently. The texture preview area provides thumbnail mode, tile mode, and 3D preview mode (i.e., three-dimensional mode) for previewing each texture; the "Generate Preview" in the function button area can be used to send a basic texture generation request to the server to instruct the server to regenerate the basic texture based on the basic generation parameters. For example, when the user has configured or reconfigured the basic generation parameters, the basic texture can be generated by clicking "Generate Preview";

[0094] The "Generate Texture" button in the function button area can be used to generate other types of textures. For example, when the user selects a basic texture and clicks the "Generate Texture" button, the client can display Figure 7 The configuration interface shown is used to configure other generation parameters to generate other types of maps such as normal maps and height maps; the "Generate Material Ball" in the function button area can be used to instruct the client to generate a target material ball. For example, when the user selects a base map and other maps generated based on the base map at the same time, the user can click the "Generate Material Ball" button. At this time, the client can download the texture file of the selected base map and the texture files of the other selected maps from the server, and generate a material ball based on the downloaded texture files; alternatively, the user can also select only the base map and click the "Generate Material Ball" button. In this case, the client can download the texture file of the selected base map from the server and generate a material ball based on the downloaded texture file.

[0095] like Figure 6 As shown, the parameter configuration area can be used to configure the above basic generation parameters. For example, the user can select the model type of the basic map generation model through the drop-down box (such as Figure 6 v1-5-pruned in the current model type can be selected), you can enter the material keyword in the input box (for example Figure 6 You can also enter reverse keywords; you can configure the image width through the slider or input box (such as Figure 6 512) and picture height (such as Figure 6 512 in the configuration), that is, the size of the basic map; you can configure the generated batch through the slider or input box (such as Figure 6 2) and the number of pictures per batch (such as Figure 6 2) is configured in the configuration, that is, the number of configured base maps. It should be understood that the base map generation model usually generates images in batches. The product of the configured generation batch and the number of images in each batch is the number of configured base maps, for example Figure 6 The generation batch and the number of images per batch configured in are 2 respectively, which means that a total of 4 basic maps will be generated; users can also configure the keyword relevance through the slider or input box (such as Figure 6 7) The user can also select whether to use the magnification algorithm through the selection box. If the magnification algorithm is selected, the following will be displayed: Figure 7 Configuration controls for the amplification parameters shown are used to configure the algorithm type and amplification factor of the amplification algorithm.

[0096] In practical applications, Figure 6 The parameter configuration area in the can also add user-configurable basic generation parameters based on actual needs. For example, model parameters of the base texture generation model (such as the Stable Diffusion model) can be added, such as the sampling method, sampling iteration number, and other model parameters. The sampling method and sampling iteration number can be parameters that control the generation accuracy and generation speed of the base texture generation model. The parameter configuration area can also add the "Tile / Block" option to support optimizing the base texture in a tiled or block manner to meet user needs.

[0097] like Figure 8 As shown, the configuration interface of other generation parameters can directly display the configuration control of the amplification parameters, and the user can select the algorithm type of the amplification algorithm through the drop-down box (for example Figure 8 The R-ESRGAN 4x+ shown in the figure is an algorithm type), and the magnification can be set by sliding the bar or inputting a box. The base map in the map list is the default item, and the normal map, height map, light map, and texture map are optional. The user can select one or more other maps from the optional items, and then the user can click the "Generate" button to generate other maps, or click the "Cancel" button to cancel the generation of other maps. It should be understood that when the user clicks the "Generate" button, the client can send other map generation requests to the server to instruct the server to generate other maps; the other maps returned by the server can be displayed in Figure 6 The texture preview area.

[0098] It should be noted that Figure 6 and Figure 7 The main interface shown is Figure 8 The configuration interface shown is an exemplary possible implementation provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 6 、 Figure 7 and Figure 8 The parameter configuration process is described above as an example, but those skilled in the art will appreciate that the present disclosure is not limited thereto. In fact, users can flexibly set the layout of the parameter configuration interface and the included functional controls based on their personal preferences and / or actual application scenarios, as long as they can configure the above-mentioned basic generation parameters and other generation parameters.

[0099] Based on the above Figure 6 and Figure 8 , the present disclosure also provides Figure 9 A schematic diagram showing a process of material generation is shown below. Figure 9 As shown, the process includes: the user opens the material generation tool (that is, the client that applies the material generation method of the embodiment of the present disclosure) to display Figure 6 The main interface of the main interface, enter the material keyword of the target material to be generated in the main interface and adjust other basic generation parameters provided in the main interface. The client sends a basic map generation request to the server based on the configured basic generation parameters. The server generates the basic map and returns it to the client for display. The user selects any basic map from the displayed basic maps and enters Figure 8 After configuring other texture parameters using the configuration interface shown, the client sends a request to the server to generate other textures based on the configured other generation parameters. The server generates a high-definition texture, that is, generates other textures with enlarged resolution and basic textures with enlarged resolution, and returns them to the client for display. The user selects other textures with enlarged resolution, and the client downloads the texture files of the selected other textures with enlarged resolution and basic textures with enlarged resolution from the server, generates a target material ball based on the downloaded texture file, and exports and saves the target material ball.
