[0073] As mentioned above, the method for photographing a virtual image provided in the embodiment of the present application can be implemented by various types of electronic devices, for example, Figure 1 The terminal and the server 200 in the embodiment can be executed by either one of them separately, or by Figure 1 The terminal and server 200 in the embodiment cooperate to execute. Figure 1 The method for photographing a virtual image provided in the embodiment of the present application is described as an example in which a terminal alone executes the method. Figure 3 , Figure 3 is a flow chart of a method for photographing a virtual image provided by an embodiment of the present application, which will be combined with Figure 3 The steps shown are explained.

[0074] Step 101: The terminal displays a virtual image to be photographed and at least one lighting template in a shooting preview interface of a virtual scene.

[0075] In actual applications, a client supporting virtual scenes is installed on the terminal (for example, when the virtual scene is a game, the corresponding client can be a shooting game APP), and the client has a shooting function, such as a shooting system set or embedded in the client. When the user opens the shooting system in the client on the terminal to shoot the virtual image in the virtual scene, the terminal displays the virtual image to be shot and at least one lighting template in the shooting preview interface of the virtual scene, wherein the lighting template is pre-configured by the user, and different lighting templates correspond to different lighting effects, such as soft light, front light, backlight, side light, full light, blue tone, etc.; each lighting template corresponds to at least one virtual light source, and when the lighting template corresponds to multiple (two or more) virtual light sources, different virtual light sources correspond to different light source parameters; the user can preset and configure multiple lighting templates with different lighting effects according to actual needs for use in shooting.

[0076] In some embodiments, before displaying the captured virtual image and at least one lighting template, the terminal may preset the configuration of the lighting template in the following manner: displaying the template configuration interface, and displaying the light source adding control in the template configuration interface; in response to the light source adding operation triggered by the light source adding control, displaying the target number of added virtual light sources; in response to the light source parameter configuration operation, displaying the light source parameters configured for each virtual light source; in response to the template generation operation, generating a lighting template including the target number of virtual light sources based on the light source parameters configured for each virtual light source.

[0077] Here, when configuring the lighting template, the terminal displays a light source adding control for adding a virtual light source in the template configuration interface. When the user triggers the light source adding control, the terminal responds to the trigger operation and displays multiple virtual light sources for selection, such as virtual light source 1, virtual light source 2, virtual light source 3, and virtual light source 4. The user can select a target number of virtual light sources (depending on actual needs, such as a target number of 3) and add the selected target number of virtual light sources to the lighting template. Then, the light source parameters are configured for each added virtual light source. When the light source parameter configuration of each virtual light source is completed, a lighting template including the target number of virtual light sources can be generated based on the light source parameters of each configured virtual light source.

[0078] Among them, the light source parameters include at least one of the following: color, effective radius, position, and moving mode; in practical applications, the color parameter of the light source can be disassembled according to the color model of the virtual light source (such as the HSV color model) to obtain hue (Hue, referred to as H), saturation (S) and value (V), wherein hue (H) is the basic attribute of color, which is the color name commonly referred to as red, yellow, etc., color information; saturation (S) refers to the purity of the color, taking a value of 0 to 100%, the higher the value, the purer the color, and the lower the value, the grayer it gradually becomes; value (V) refers to the brightness of the color, taking a value of 0 to 100%, wherein 0 means off and 100% means the brightest. The effective radius refers to the influence range of the virtual light source. The position refers to the positional relationship of the virtual light source relative to the virtual character, including at least one of the following: angle (i.e., the direction of the virtual light source relative to the virtual character), distance (the distance between the virtual light source and the virtual character), and vertical height (the vertical height of the virtual light source relative to the virtual character). The movement modes include follow-character mode and non-follow-character mode. In follow-character mode, the position of the virtual light source always takes the current position of the virtual character as the starting point. When the virtual character moves, the virtual light source moves synchronously. In non-follow-character mode, the virtual light source always takes the birth point and direction of the virtual light source as the starting point (that is, the starting relative position between the configured virtual light source and the virtual character). When the virtual character moves, the virtual light source does not move.

[0079] In some embodiments, before displaying the light source parameters configured for each virtual light source, the terminal performs the following operations for each virtual light source: displays a first configuration control for configuring the light source parameters of the virtual light source; wherein the first configuration control corresponds to the light source parameters; receives a light source parameter configuration operation triggered by the first configuration control corresponding to the target light source parameters, wherein the light source parameter configuration operation indicates configuration of the target light source parameters.

[0080] Here, when configuring the light source parameters of each virtual light source, taking virtual light source 1 as an example, a first configuration control can be displayed at the associated position of virtual light source 1, wherein the first configuration control and the light source parameter are in a one-to-one correspondence, that is, virtual light source 1 corresponds to a target number of first configuration controls, wherein the target number is the number of virtual parameters, and the target light source parameters can be configured through the first configuration controls corresponding to the target light source parameters, such as hue corresponds to the first configuration control 1, and saturation corresponds to the first configuration control 2. The user sets the hue (i.e., color value) of the virtual light source through the first configuration control 1 corresponding to the hue, and sets the saturation through the first configuration control 2 corresponding to the first configuration control 2, and so on. All light source parameters of the virtual light source 1 can be configured. After the light source parameters of each virtual light source are configured, a lighting template including the target number of virtual light sources can be generated based on the light source parameters of each configured virtual light source.

[0081] In some embodiments, the terminal can respond to the light source parameter configuration operation and display the light source parameters configured for each virtual light source in the following manner: perform the following operations for each virtual light source: display a second configuration control for configuring the light source parameters of the virtual light source; in response to a trigger operation on the second configuration control, display a parameter configuration interface, and display a configuration area corresponding to each light source parameter in the parameter configuration interface; in response to a light source parameter configuration operation triggered based on each configuration area, display the corresponding light source parameters in each configuration area.

[0082] Here, when configuring the light source parameters of each virtual light source, taking virtual light source 1 as an example, a second configuration control can be displayed at the associated position of virtual light source 1, wherein the second configuration control corresponds to virtual light source 1, that is, when there are multiple light source parameters involved in virtual light source 1, the second configuration control corresponds to the multiple light source parameters, and the multiple light source parameters can be configured with one click through the second configuration control. For example, when the user triggers the second configuration control, the terminal responds to the trigger operation, displays a parameter configuration interface, and displays a configuration area corresponding to each light source parameter in the parameter configuration interface, and the user can configure the corresponding light source parameters in the configuration area corresponding to each light source parameter. The user can input the hue value in configuration area 1 and the saturation value in configuration area 2, and so on, to configure all the light source parameters of the virtual light source 1. After the light source parameters of each virtual light source are configured, a lighting template including the target number of virtual light sources can be generated based on the light source parameters of each configured virtual light source. For example, after configuring the light source parameters of each virtual light source, the light source parameters of each virtual light source and the light source identifier of each virtual light source are combined with the template identifier, template name and template icon of the lighting template to generate a lighting template.

[0083] Step 102: In response to a selection operation for a target lighting template, a lighting effect corresponding to the virtual image is displayed, wherein the lighting effect is obtained by lighting the virtual image based on the target lighting template.

[0084] Here, when the user selects a target lighting template, the terminal responds to the selection operation, obtains the light source parameters of the virtual light source corresponding to the target lighting template, and performs lighting processing (i.e., rendering processing) on ​​the virtual image in the shooting preview interface according to the light source parameters of the virtual light source corresponding to the target lighting template to obtain the lighting effect corresponding to the virtual image.

[0085] For example, assuming that the target lighting template corresponds to virtual light source 1, virtual light source 2, and virtual light source 3, the terminal obtains the light source parameters (such as hue, saturation, brightness, effective radius, position, etc.) of virtual light source 1, virtual light source 2, and virtual light source 3, respectively, and performs lighting processing on the virtual image based on the light source parameters of virtual light source 1, virtual light source 2, and virtual light source 3, respectively, to obtain the corresponding lighting effect.

[0086] See also Figure 4 , Figure 4 It is a schematic diagram of image lighting provided in an embodiment of the present application. In the shooting preview interface, multiple lighting templates are displayed, such as soft, front light, reverse side light, etc. When the user selects a target lighting template 401 (such as soft) from them, the terminal responds to the selection operation and displays the lighting effect obtained by lighting the virtual image (or shooting preview interface) using the target lighting template 401 (such as soft). The lighting effect obtained in this way is the lighting effect corresponding to the target lighting target (i.e., soft).

[0087] It should be noted that when lighting the virtual image, it is necessary to light the other contents (collectively referred to as background elements) in the preview shooting interface except the virtual image, that is, according to the light source parameters of the virtual light source corresponding to the target lighting template, all the contents in the shooting preview interface (including the virtual image and background elements) are lit to obtain the lighting effect, which can ensure that the lighting effect or lighting style of each part of the lighting effect is consistent.

[0088] Step 103: In response to a light source adjustment operation for a virtual light source in a target lighting template, a target image corresponding to the virtual image is displayed, wherein the target image is obtained by rendering the lighting effect based on the light source parameters adjusted according to the light source adjustment operation.

[0089] Here, in actual application, the user can adjust the light source parameters of the virtual light source corresponding to the target lighting template, and after the adjustment, use the light source parameters adjusted as indicated by the light source adjustment operation (i.e., the adjusted light source parameters) to render the lighting effect to obtain the target image corresponding to the virtual image. The target image is actually rendered based on the lighting effect and the virtual image based on the light source parameters adjusted as indicated by the light source adjustment operation. Here, the lighting effect presented by the target image is the lighting effect after the light source parameters of the target lighting template are adjusted. In this way, the virtual image is first illuminated using the target lighting template to obtain the lighting effect, and then the light source parameters corresponding to the target lighting template are freely adjusted according to the shooting requirements, thereby realizing the free adjustment of the lighting effect, improving the adjustment freedom of the lighting effect, and meeting the complex lighting effect requirements.

[0090] In some embodiments, before displaying the target image corresponding to the virtual image, the terminal may receive a light source adjustment operation in the following manner: displaying at least one virtual light source corresponding to the target lighting template and a switch control corresponding to the virtual light source in the light source adjustment area; in response to an opening operation of the switch control corresponding to the target virtual light source, displaying a parameter adjustment control corresponding to the target virtual light source; receiving a light source adjustment operation triggered by the parameter adjustment control, wherein the light source adjustment operation indicates adjusting the light source parameters of the target virtual light source.

[0091] See also Figure 5 , Figure 5 3. It is a schematic diagram of light source parameter adjustment provided in an embodiment of the present application. When a user selects a target lighting template 501, taking the target lighting template 501 corresponding to three virtual light sources as an example, the light source adjustment area displays the virtual light sources corresponding to the target lighting template 501, such as virtual light source 1, virtual light source 2, virtual light source 3, and switch controls corresponding to the virtual light sources (i.e., one virtual light source corresponds to one switch control). In the default state, the switch controls of the virtual light sources are in the off state. When the user turns on the switch controls, the light source parameters of the virtual light sources corresponding to the turned on switch controls can be adjusted. For example, when the user turns on the switch control corresponding to the target virtual light source (such as virtual light source 3), the corresponding position of the target virtual light source (for example Figure 5 A parameter adjustment control is displayed at the right position shown in ), through which the light source parameters of the target virtual light source (ie, virtual light source 3) can be adjusted.

[0092] It can be understood that the parameter adjustment control can be in a one-to-one correspondence with the light source parameters of the target virtual light source, that is, one light source parameter corresponds to one parameter adjustment control, such as hue corresponds to parameter adjustment control 1, saturation corresponds to parameter adjustment control 2, and position corresponds to parameter adjustment control 3; of course, the parameter adjustment control can also be in a one-to-many relationship with the light source parameters of the target virtual light source, that is, one parameter adjustment control corresponds to multiple light source parameters. The parameter adjustment control integrates the function of adjusting multiple light source parameters. The following describes the implementation method of adjusting various light source parameters separately through the parameter adjustment control.

[0093] In some embodiments, the terminal can display the parameter adjustment control corresponding to the target virtual light source in the following manner: when the parameter adjustment control is used to adjust the color of the target virtual light source, a circular color wheel carrying a joystick is displayed, and the circular color wheel is used as the parameter adjustment control, wherein different positions in the circular color wheel indicate different colors; accordingly, the terminal can receive a light source adjustment operation triggered by the parameter adjustment control in the following manner: in response to a dragging operation on the joystick, a light source adjustment operation is received; wherein the light source adjustment operation indicates that the color of the target virtual light source is adjusted to the color indicated by the position of the joystick in the circular color wheel.

[0094] See also Figure 6 , Figure 6 It is a schematic diagram of adjusting the light source parameters provided in an embodiment of the present application. In response to the opening operation of the switch control corresponding to the target virtual light source 601, the terminal displays a circular color wheel for adjusting the color of the target virtual light source in the light source adjustment area as a parameter adjustment control. By dragging the joystick in the circular color wheel to change the position of the joystick in the circular color wheel, the color value of the target virtual light source can be changed.

[0095] It should be noted that Figure 6 The color value shown refers to the hue value in the color. The circular color wheel 603 may also be associated with a sub-control for adjusting the saturation and brightness of the color, such as a progress bar 704 (i.e., a sub-control) carrying a pull rod. The circular color wheel and the progress bar are used together as parameter adjustment controls for adjusting the color of the target virtual light source. The hue value in the color of the target virtual light source is adjusted by the circular color wheel, and the saturation and brightness in the color of the target virtual light source are adjusted by the progress bar. Finally, the adjusted hue value, saturation, and brightness are mixed to obtain the adjusted color.

[0096] In some embodiments, when the terminal displays a circular color wheel carrying a joystick, the color value of the color indicated by the position of the joystick in the circular color wheel is displayed in the central area of ​​the circular color wheel; the color value is updated synchronously with the change of the position of the joystick in the circular color wheel.

[0097] Still see Figure 6 The center area of ​​the circular color wheel 603 displays the color value (i.e., hue value, such as 197) of the color indicated at the position of the circular color wheel. As the position of the joystick in the circular color wheel changes, the color value (i.e., hue value, such as updating the hue value from 197 to 208) is updated synchronously.

[0098] In some embodiments, the terminal can display the parameter adjustment control corresponding to the target virtual light source in the following manner: when the parameter adjustment control is used to adjust the color of the target virtual light source, multiple color options are displayed for selection, and the multiple color options are used as the parameter adjustment control; accordingly, the terminal can receive the light source adjustment operation triggered by the parameter adjustment control in the following manner: in response to the selection operation for the target option, the light source adjustment operation is received; wherein the light source adjustment operation indicates that the color of the target virtual light source is adjusted to the color corresponding to the target option.

[0099] See also Figure 7 , Figure 7 It is a schematic diagram of adjusting the light source parameters provided in an embodiment of the present application. In response to the opening operation of the switch control corresponding to the target virtual light source 701, the terminal displays color options for adjusting the color of the target virtual light source 701 in the light source adjustment area, such as red, orange, yellow, green, etc., and uses the color option as a parameter adjustment control to change the color value of the target virtual light source by selecting the color option.

[0100] It should be noted that Figure 7 The color value corresponding to the color option shown refers to the hue value in the color. The color option may also be associated with a sub-control for adjusting the saturation and brightness of the color, such as a progress bar (i.e., a sub-control) carrying a pull rod. The color option and the progress bar are used together as parameter adjustment controls for adjusting the color of the target virtual light source. For example, the hue in the color of the target virtual light source is adjusted by selecting a color option (e.g., if the red option is selected, the hue in the color of the target virtual light source is adjusted to red), and the saturation and brightness in the color of the target virtual light source are adjusted through the progress bar. Finally, the adjusted hue value, saturation, and brightness are mixed to obtain the adjusted color.

[0101] In some embodiments, the terminal can display the parameter adjustment control corresponding to the target virtual light source in the following manner: display a progress bar carrying a pull rod, and use the progress bar as a parameter adjustment control; wherein the progress bar corresponds to the light source parameters of the target virtual light source, wherein the light source parameters include at least one of the following: color, effective radius, and position; accordingly, the terminal can receive a light source adjustment operation triggered by the parameter adjustment control in the following manner: in response to a dragging operation on the pull rod in the target progress bar, a light source adjustment operation is received; wherein the light source adjustment operation indicates that the parameter value of the light source parameter corresponding to the target progress bar is adjusted to the parameter value indicated by the pull rod in the target progress bar.

[0102] See also Figure 8 , Figure 8 It is a schematic diagram of the adjustment of light source parameters provided in an embodiment of the present application. In response to the opening operation of the switch control corresponding to the target virtual light source, the terminal displays a progress bar corresponding to each light source parameter in the light source adjustment area, such as a progress bar corresponding to the effective radius. Since color includes hue, saturation and brightness, progress bars corresponding to hue, saturation and brightness are displayed respectively. Position includes distance, angle, and rise (i.e., vertical height), so progress bars corresponding to distance, angle, and rise are displayed respectively, so as to adjust the corresponding light source parameters through their respective progress bars.

[0103] In some embodiments, the terminal can display the parameter adjustment control corresponding to the target virtual light source in the following manner: display an edit box for inputting parameter values, and use the edit box as a parameter adjustment control; wherein the edit box corresponds to the light source parameters of the target virtual light source, and the light source parameters include at least one of the following: color, effective radius, and position; accordingly, the terminal can receive a light source adjustment operation triggered by the parameter adjustment control in the following manner: in response to an input operation to the target edit box, a light source adjustment operation is received; wherein the light source adjustment operation indicates that the parameter value of the light source parameter corresponding to the target edit box is adjusted to the parameter value entered by the input operation.

[0104] Here, in actual application, the terminal responds to the opening operation of the switch control corresponding to the target virtual light source 801, and displays edit boxes corresponding to each light source parameter in the light source adjustment area, such as the edit box corresponding to the effective radius. Since color includes hue, saturation and brightness, edit boxes corresponding to hue, saturation and brightness are displayed respectively. Position includes distance, angle, and rise (i.e., vertical height), so edit boxes corresponding to distance, angle, and rise are displayed respectively, so that the parameter values ​​of the corresponding light source parameters can be directly edited through their respective edit boxes, so as to achieve the purpose of adjusting the light source parameters of the target virtual light source.

[0105] In some embodiments, the light source mark corresponding to the target virtual light source may be a parameter adjustment control for adjusting the position of the target virtual light source. The terminal may display the parameter adjustment control corresponding to the target virtual light source in the following manner: when the parameter adjustment control is used to adjust the position of the target virtual light source, the light source mark corresponding to the target virtual light source is displayed at the first position of the shooting preview interface, and the light source mark is used as the parameter adjustment control. The light source mark here may be a light source icon, for example Fig. 9 The light bulb icon shown; wherein the first position is determined according to the position parameters of the target virtual light source configured in the target lighting template; accordingly, the terminal can receive the light source adjustment operation triggered by the parameter adjustment control in the following manner: in response to the drag operation on the light source mark, the light source adjustment operation is received; wherein the light source adjustment operation indicates adjusting the first position of the target virtual light source in the shooting preview interface to the second position indicated by the drag operation.

[0106] See also Fig. 9 , Fig. 9 : is a schematic diagram of adjusting light source parameters provided in an embodiment of the present application. In response to the opening operation of the switch control corresponding to the target virtual light source, the terminal obtains the position parameter in the light source parameter corresponding to the target virtual light source configured in the target lighting template (i.e., the relative position relationship between the target virtual light source and the virtual character), and determines the first position of the target virtual light source in the shooting preview interface according to the position parameter. Assuming that the position parameter indicates that the target virtual light source is located 45 degrees and 3 meters behind the left of the virtual character, the light source icon of the target virtual light source is displayed 45 degrees and 3 meters behind the left of the virtual character in the shooting preview interface (i.e., the first position), and the target virtual light source is used as a parameter adjustment control for adjusting the position parameter. In this case, the light source icon of the target virtual light source is changed by dragging its display position in the shooting preview interface to achieve the purpose of adjusting the position parameter of the target virtual light source. For example, if the light source icon is dragged to 45 degrees and 3 meters behind the right of the virtual character, the light source adjustment operation indicates that the first position of the target virtual light source in the shooting preview interface (i.e., 45 degrees and 3 meters behind the left of the virtual character) is adjusted to the second position (i.e., 45 degrees and 3 meters behind the right of the virtual character).

[0107] In some embodiments, the terminal may display the light source mark corresponding to the target virtual light source in the following manner: using the target color to display the light source mark corresponding to the target virtual light source; wherein the target color is the color of the target virtual light source configured in the target lighting template.

[0108] Here, the terminal responds to the opening operation of the switch control corresponding to the target virtual light source, and displays the light source mark of the target virtual light source in the shooting preview interface. The display color can adopt the color of the target virtual light source configured in the target lighting template. For example, if the color of the target virtual light source configured in the target lighting template is red, the light source mark of the target virtual light source is displayed in red (i.e., a red light source mark). It should be noted that when the color of the target virtual light source is adjusted, the light source mark of the target virtual light source displayed in the shooting preview interface can be updated in real time, so that the color of the light source mark of the target virtual light source displayed in the shooting preview interface is always consistent with the color of the target virtual light source.

[0109] In some embodiments, the terminal may display at least one virtual light source corresponding to the target lighting template in the following manner: in the light source adjustment area, at least one virtual light source corresponding to the target lighting template is displayed using a first color, wherein the at least one virtual light source includes a target virtual light source; accordingly, in response to an opening operation of a switch control corresponding to the target virtual light source, the target virtual light source is displayed using a second color, wherein the second color is the color of the target virtual light source configured in the target lighting template; when the light source adjustment operation indicates that the color of the target virtual light source is adjusted to a third color, the target virtual light source is displayed using the third color.

[0110] Here, when the target virtual light source has not been turned on (i.e., the switch control corresponding to the target virtual light source has not been turned on), in the light source adjustment area, the first color (grayscale display, such as black or white) is used to display each virtual light source corresponding to the target lighting template (i.e., the light source mark of the virtual light source). For example, when the target lighting template corresponds to virtual light source 1, virtual light source 2 and virtual light source 3 (the target virtual light source is one of the virtual light sources), virtual light source 1, virtual light source 2 and virtual light source 3 are displayed in grayscale. When the user turns on the target virtual light source (i.e., turns on the switch control corresponding to the target virtual light source), in the light source adjustment area, the second color (the color of the target virtual light source configured in the target lighting template) is used to display the target virtual light source. For example, when the color of the target virtual light source configured in the target lighting template is red, the target virtual light source is displayed in red. After the color of the target virtual light source is adjusted, the target virtual light source is displayed in the adjusted color. For example, if the color of the target virtual light source is adjusted to green, the target virtual light source is displayed in red.

[0111] In some embodiments, after the terminal displays the lighting effect corresponding to the virtual image, when the virtual character moves in the shooting preview interface, the shooting parameters of the virtual character in the lighting effect are updated; wherein the shooting parameters include at least one of the following: the position of the virtual character in the lighting effect, the background in the lighting effect.

[0112] Here, after the user selects the target lighting template, if the virtual image moves in the virtual scene and causes the content displayed in the shooting preview interface to change, the terminal can use the target lighting template in real time to perform lighting processing on the moving virtual image (that is, the content displayed on the shooting preview interface in real time) to achieve real-time updating of the shooting parameters of the virtual character in the lighting effect, such as the position of the virtual character in the lighting effect, the background content in the lighting effect, etc.

[0113] In some embodiments, during the movement of the virtual character, the movement mode of the virtual light source configured in the target lighting template is obtained; when the movement mode is the follow character mode, the virtual light source is controlled to move synchronously with the virtual character so that the lighting effect of the lighting effect remains unchanged; when the movement mode is the non-follow character mode, the position of the virtual light source is controlled to remain unchanged, and the lighting effect of the lighting effect is adjusted so that the adjusted lighting effect is adapted to the relative position between the virtual light source and the virtual character.

[0114] In practical applications, for the situation where a virtual character moves in a virtual scene, the lighting effect can be regarded as a plurality of video frames corresponding to the video captured containing the virtual character. When the virtual character moves, whether the lighting effect of the corresponding video frame changes during the movement depends on the movement mode of the virtual light source configured in the target lighting template. When the movement mode of the virtual light source configured in the target lighting template is the follow-character mode, since the follow-character mode means that the position of the virtual light source always takes the current position of the virtual character as the starting point, when the virtual character moves, the virtual light source moves synchronously. Therefore, in this case, during the movement of the virtual character, the virtual light source is controlled to move synchronously with the virtual character so that the lighting effect of the lighting effect remains unchanged; the non-follow-character mode means that the birth point and direction of the virtual light source are always taken as the starting point (that is, the starting relative position between the configured virtual light source and the virtual character). In this case, during the movement of the virtual character, the position of the virtual light source is controlled to remain unchanged, and the lighting effect of the lighting effect is adjusted so that the adjusted lighting effect corresponds to the relative position between the virtual light source and the virtual character. If the relative position between the virtual light source and the virtual character gradually becomes farther, the lighting effect of the corresponding video frame (that is, multiple lighting effects) during the movement gradually becomes weaker.

[0115] In some embodiments, after displaying the target image corresponding to the virtual image, the terminal saves the target image to an album corresponding to the virtual scene in response to a save operation on the target image; wherein the target image saved in the album is used to obtain virtual rewards or unlock virtual skills.

[0116] Here, the user can save the target image of the save operation to the album corresponding to the virtual scene. For example, when the user clicks the shooting control, the terminal responds to the click operation, performs the shooting operation to obtain the target image, and saves the shot target image to the album corresponding to the virtual scene to obtain virtual rewards or unlock virtual skills, such as accumulating interaction experience points or unlocking certain virtual props or virtual monsters, etc., to obtain more powerful virtual skills.

[0117] By applying the embodiments of the present application, during the process of photographing a virtual image, the virtual image is first illuminated by using a target lighting template to obtain a lighting effect, and then a light source adjustment operation is further performed on the virtual light source in the target lighting template, and the lighting effect is rendered using the light source parameters adjusted as indicated by the light source adjustment operation to obtain a target image of the virtual image. That is, during the process of photographing a virtual image, the user can freely adjust the light source parameters of the virtual light source in the lighting template in an intuitive and convenient manner based on the preset lighting template according to the shooting requirements, thereby realizing a free adjustment of the lighting effect, improving the adjustment freedom of the lighting effect, and meeting the complex lighting effect requirements.

[0118] Next, an exemplary application of the embodiment of the present application in an actual application scenario will be described. Taking a virtual scene as a game as an example, the method for photographing a virtual image provided by the embodiment of the present application will be further described.

[0119] See also Fig.10 , Fig.10 It is a configuration diagram of the lighting template provided in the embodiment of the present application. The user can pre-configure multiple lighting templates with different lighting effects, such as soft, front light, and backlight. Each lighting template can correspond to at least one virtual light source (different virtual light sources correspond to different light source parameters). Taking the configuration of the target lighting template and the target lighting template corresponding to 3 virtual light sources as an example, when configuring each virtual light source corresponding to the target lighting template, it is necessary to set the light source parameters of each virtual light source, wherein the light source parameters include at least one of the following: color, effective radius, and position.

[0120] In practical applications, the color parameter of the light source can be decomposed according to the color model of the virtual light source (such as the HSV color model) to obtain hue (H), saturation (S) and brightness (V). Among them, hue (H) is the basic attribute of color, which is the color name we usually call, such as red, yellow, etc. When the color information is represented by a circular color disk, the value of hue can be measured by angle, and the angle range is 0 to 360°; saturation (S) refers to the purity of the color, taking a value of 0 to 100%, the higher the value, the purer the color, and the lower the value, the grayer it gradually becomes; brightness (V) refers to the brightness of the color, taking a value of 0 to 100%, where 0 means off and 100% means the brightest. The radius of action refers to the influence range of the virtual light source, and the value unit is the number of meters of the scene in the game.

[0121] See also Fig.11 , Fig.11 It is a schematic diagram of position parameters provided in an embodiment of the present application, where position refers to the positional relationship of a virtual light source relative to a virtual character, including at least one of the following: angle, distance, elevation, and movement mode; the following takes the virtual character as an example for parameter configuration of relative position, where angle is the direction of the virtual light source relative to the virtual character, and is the orientation relative to the starting point, with an angle range of 0 to 360°; distance refers to the distance between the virtual light source and the virtual character; elevation (i.e., the vertical height mentioned above) refers to the vertical height of the virtual light source relative to the virtual character; movement modes include a follow-the-character mode and a non-follow-the-character mode, where the so-called follow-the-character mode means that the position of the virtual light source always takes the current position of the virtual character as the starting point, and when the virtual character moves, the virtual light source moves synchronously; the non-follow-the-character mode always takes the birth point and orientation of the virtual light source as the starting point (i.e., the starting relative position between the configured virtual light source and the virtual character), and when the virtual character moves, the virtual light source does not move.

[0122] See also Fig.12 , Fig.12 This is a schematic diagram of light source parameter configuration provided in an embodiment of the present application, wherein the hue value in the color of the virtual light source is configured by dragging the joystick of the circular color wheel, the saturation in the color of the virtual light source is configured by dragging the pull rod in the saturation progress bar, the saturation in the color of the virtual light source is configured by dragging the pull rod in the brightness progress bar, the range of action of the virtual light source is configured by dragging the pull rod in the radius progress bar, the distance in the position parameter of the virtual light source is configured by dragging the pull rod in the distance progress bar, the angle in the position parameter of the virtual light source is configured by dragging the pull rod in the angle progress bar, the elevation in the position parameter of the virtual light source is configured by dragging the pull rod in the elevation progress bar, and the movement mode of the virtual light source is configured to follow the character mode by checking the "Light source follows the protagonist" control (if the "Light source follows the protagonist" control is not checked, the movement mode of the virtual light source is configured to not follow the character mode).

[0123] See also Fig.13 , Fig.13 This is a schematic diagram of the light source parameter configuration provided in an embodiment of the present application. When configuring the hue value in the color of the virtual light source, the hue value in the color of the virtual light source can be configured through the joystick of the circular color wheel, or the color value of the virtual light source can be changed by selecting a color option. The two methods can be switched.

[0124] After the light source parameters of each virtual light source corresponding to the target lighting template are configured in the above manner, see Fig.14 , Fig.14This is a configuration diagram of the lighting template provided in an embodiment of the present application. Taking the lighting template corresponding to three virtual light sources as an example, after configuring the light source parameters of each virtual light source, the light source parameters of each virtual light source and the light source identifier of each virtual light source are combined with the template identifier, template name and template icon of the lighting template to generate a lighting template.

[0125] Through the above method, users can pre-configure multiple lighting templates according to actual needs for use when shooting. When shooting a virtual image in the game, the terminal displays the virtual image to be shot and at least one lighting template in the shooting preview interface of the game. When the user selects a target lighting template, the terminal responds to the selection operation, obtains the light source parameters of the virtual light source corresponding to the target lighting template, and performs lighting processing (i.e., rendering processing) on ​​the virtual image in the shooting preview interface according to the light source parameters of the virtual light source corresponding to the target lighting template, and obtains the lighting effect corresponding to the virtual image. The lighting effect presented by the lighting effect here is the lighting effect corresponding to the target lighting template.

[0126] In actual applications, users can adjust the light source parameters of the virtual light source corresponding to the target lighting template. The following is an explanation of the adjustment process of the light source parameters of the virtual light source in the target lighting template. Fig.12 The configuration process of the light source parameters shown in the figure, such as adjusting the hue value of the color of the virtual light source by dragging the joystick of the circular color wheel (in addition, you can also adjust the hue value of the color of the virtual light source by selecting Figure 7 The color options shown, such as red, orange, yellow, green, etc., are used to change the color value of the virtual light source), the saturation of the color of the virtual light source is adjusted by dragging the pull rod in the saturation progress bar, the saturation of the color of the virtual light source is adjusted by dragging the pull rod in the brightness progress bar, the range of action of the virtual light source is adjusted by dragging the pull rod in the radius progress bar, and based on the current coordinate point and orientation of the virtual character, the position parameters of the virtual light source are adjusted by dragging the pull rod in the position-related progress bar, such as adjusting the distance in the position parameters of the virtual light source by dragging the pull rod in the distance progress bar, adjusting the angle in the position parameters of the virtual light source by dragging the pull rod in the angle progress bar, and adjusting the elevation in the position parameters of the virtual light source by dragging the pull rod in the elevation progress bar, and setting the movement mode of the virtual light source to follow the character mode by checking the "Light source follows the protagonist" control (if the "Light source follows the protagonist" control is not checked, the movement mode of the virtual light source is set to not follow the character mode).

[0127] In addition, when adjusting the position parameters of the virtual light source, you can also change the display position of the virtual light source in the shooting preview interface by dragging the light source mark of the virtual light source displayed in the shooting preview interface to achieve the purpose of adjusting the position parameters of the virtual light source. For example, before dragging, the virtual light source is located 45 degrees and 3 meters behind the left of the virtual character. If the light source mark is dragged to 45 degrees and 3 meters behind the right of the virtual character, the position parameters of the virtual light source can be adjusted from 45 degrees and 3 meters behind the left of the virtual character to 45 degrees and 3 meters behind the right of the virtual character.

[0128] After adjusting the light source parameters of the target lighting template, the adjusted light source parameters can be used to further render the lighting effect to obtain a target image corresponding to the virtual image. Here, the lighting effect presented by the target image is the lighting effect after the light source parameters of the target lighting template are adjusted.
