[0024] Based on this approach, the embodiments of the present disclosure can improve the lighting effect and enhance the lighting realism, and the embodiments of the present disclosure can also simulate more complex lighting effects.

[0025] Example Environment

[0026] Figure 1 1 is a schematic diagram of an example environment 100 in which embodiments of the present disclosure can be implemented. Figure 1 As shown, example environment 100 may include electronic device 110 .

[0027] In the example environment 100, an application 120 is installed in an electronic device 110. A user 140 can interact with the application 120 via the electronic device 110 and / or its attached devices. The application 120 can be an interactive application in a virtual scene, such as a game application, or any other appropriate application.

[0028] exist Figure 1 In the environment 100 , if the application 120 is in an active state, the application 120 may provide a presentation interface 150 for the user 140 .

[0029] In some embodiments, the electronic device 110 communicates with the server 130 to provide services for the application 120. The electronic device 110 can be any type of mobile terminal, fixed terminal or portable terminal, including a mobile phone, a desktop computer, a laptop computer, a notebook computer, a netbook computer, a tablet computer, a media computer, a multimedia tablet, a personal communication system (PCS) device, a personal navigation device, a personal digital assistant (PDA), an audio / video player, a digital camera / camcorder, a positioning device, a television receiver, a radio broadcast receiver, an e-book device, a gaming device, or any combination of the foregoing, including accessories and peripherals of these devices or any combination thereof. In some embodiments, the electronic device 110 can also support any type of interface for the user (such as a "wearable" circuit, etc.).

[0030] The server 130 may be an independent physical server, or a server cluster or distributed system composed of multiple physical servers, or a cloud server that provides basic cloud computing services such as cloud services, cloud databases, cloud computing, cloud functions, cloud storage, network services, cloud communications, middleware services, domain name services, security services, content distribution networks, and big data and artificial intelligence platforms. The server 130 may include, for example, a computing system / server, such as a mainframe, an edge computing node, a computing device in a cloud environment, etc. The server 130 may provide background services for the application 120 in the electronic device 110 that supports interaction in a virtual scene.

[0031] A communication connection may be established between the server 130 and the electronic device 110. The communication connection may be established in a wired manner or a wireless manner. The communication connection may include, but is not limited to, a Bluetooth connection, a mobile network connection, a universal serial bus connection, a wireless fidelity connection, etc., and the embodiments of the present disclosure are not limited in this respect. In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the server 130 and the electronic device 110 may implement signaling interaction through the communication connection between the two.

[0032] It should be understood that the structure and function of the various elements in the environment 100 are described for exemplary purposes only and do not imply any limitation on the scope of the present disclosure.

[0033] Some example embodiments of the present disclosure will be described below with continued reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0034] Example Interaction

[0035] The following will refer to FIG. 2A to FIG. 2B To describe the lighting group according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 2A A lighting assembly 201 is shown according to some embodiments of the present disclosure.

[0036] In the virtual scene provided by the electronic device 110 , the user can build various structures, and the user can also add light sources (eg, lighting component 201 ) in the virtual scene to provide lighting for the virtual environment.

[0037] In some embodiments, the electronic device 110 may add a lighting component to the virtual scene in response to receiving a light source placement operation from the user. For example, the electronic device 110 may place the lighting component 201 in the virtual scene in response to receiving a placement operation for the lighting component 201, and the lighting component 201 may provide lighting for the virtual scene. Figure 2A As shown, the lighting component 201 is a surface light source, and the lighting component 201 can illuminate the virtual environment around it. In other embodiments, the lighting component can also be a spherical light source, a point light source, etc.

[0038] refer to Figure 2B , Figure 2B A schematic diagram of a lighting assembly and a switch control is shown.

[0039] like Figure 2B As shown, in some embodiments, the electronic device 110 can present the lighting effect of the lighting component in the virtual scene in response to the lighting component being turned on in the virtual scene, wherein the lighting effect is determined based on multiple virtual light sources associated with the lighting component. In addition, the configuration information of the lighting effect can be stored in a configuration file, which can be, for example, a file in JSON format.

[0040] In some embodiments, the lighting effect at least indicates the lighting shape of the lighting component. For example, the lighting shape may include conical lighting of a spotlight, spherical lighting generated by a point light source, planar lighting generated by a surface light source, and lighting of various irregular shapes.

[0041] In some embodiments, voxel data associated with the voxels may also be stored in the configuration file.

[0042] In some embodiments, the electronic device 110 may turn on the lighting component in response to receiving a preset operation for the lighting component. For example, if the electronic device 110 receives an operation indicating to turn on the lighting component via controls 202-1, 202-2, and 202-3, the electronic device 110 may turn on the virtual lighting of the lighting components 205-1, 205-2, and 205-3 corresponding to the above three controls, respectively, to provide lighting effects for the virtual environment. It should be understood that the three controls mentioned here can also control all the lighting components at the same time. For example, the electronic device 110 only needs to receive an operation for control 202-1 to turn on or off the lighting components 205-1, 205-2, and 205-3.

[0043] In some embodiments, the configuration information further indicates at least one lighting parameter associated with the plurality of virtual light sources.

[0044] In some embodiments, the virtual light sources may each have different parameters, including but not limited to the intensity, color, shape, saturation, etc. of the light. In addition, the configuration information may also indicate information such as anchor point data, attached light brightness information, and offset data.

[0045] In other embodiments, the electronic device 110 may also turn on the lighting components in response to the virtual scene satisfying a preset condition. For example, when the virtual scene switches from day to night, the electronic device 110 may automatically turn on the lighting components 205-1, 205-2, and 205-3. Or the electronic device 110 may turn on the lighting components 205-1, 205-2, and 205-3 within a certain period of time according to a preset configuration. Alternatively or additionally, the electronic device 110 may also turn on the lighting components 205-1, 205-2, and 205-3 in response to a virtual object or player character being within a preset range or area.

[0046] refer to Figure 3A , Figure 3A An example 300A of a virtual light source and light assembly is shown.

[0047] like Figure 3AAs shown, the electronic device 110 can bind multiple virtual light sources to multiple voxels associated with the lighting component based on the configuration information of the lighting component in response to the lighting component being turned on in the virtual scene. For example, the electronic device 110 can bind three virtual light sources to voxels 325-1, 325-2, and 325-3 in response to the lighting component 320 being turned on. Through the above method, the electronic device 110 can quickly establish an association relationship between multiple virtual light sources and the lighting component, thereby realizing the creation of a light group. In some embodiments, the virtual light source described herein can be located outside the lighting component.

[0048] refer to Figure 3B , Figure 3B An example 300B of deleting a virtual light source or releasing a binding between a virtual light source and a voxel is shown.

[0049] like Figure 3B As shown, the electronic device 110 can delete multiple virtual light sources or release the binding between multiple virtual light sources and multiple voxels in response to the light component being turned off or deleted, so as to stop presenting the lighting effect.

[0050] For example, the electronic device 110 may delete the virtual light sources bound to the voxels 325 - 1 , 325 - 2 , and 325 - 3 to stop providing lighting for the virtual environment, thereby achieving the effect of turning off the lights or shutting down the lighting component.

[0051] refer to Figure 3C , Figure 3C An example 300C is shown where multiple virtual light sources are bound to the same voxel.

[0052] like Figure 3C As shown, the electronic device 110 may determine that a target voxel in the virtual scene is bound to a group of virtual light sources, and based on the lighting parameters of the group of virtual light sources, determine the target virtual lighting corresponding to the target voxel.

[0053] For example, in Figure 3C In the illustrated case, the voxel 330 is bound to the virtual light source 335 - 1 and the virtual light source 335 - 2 . At this time, the electronic device 110 can determine the effective virtual lighting based on the lighting parameters of the virtual light source 335 - 1 and the virtual light source 335 - 2 .

[0054] In some embodiments, the electronic device 110 may determine an effective virtual light source in a group of virtual light sources based on the illumination intensity of the group of virtual light sources. The electronic device 110 may also determine a target virtual illumination corresponding to a target voxel based on the effective virtual light source.

[0055] Specifically, the electronic device 110 can determine which virtual light source is effective at the voxel position based on the light intensity or light priority of the virtual light sources 335-1 and 335-2. If the light intensity or priority of the virtual light source 335-1 is higher, the virtual light source 335-1 is used as the effective virtual light source. The virtual light source 335-2 is considered invalid and does not participate in the lighting calculation.

[0056] In some examples, virtual light source 335 - 1 may be provided by lighting component 320 , while virtual light source 335 - 2 may be provided by other lighting components.

[0057] In some embodiments, in response to determining a valid virtual light source, the electronic device 110 may present a lighting effect of a lighting component in the virtual scene based on the virtual lighting associated with the plurality of voxels.

[0058] The above process of determining the virtual light source can reduce the computing power consumption of the light source calculation and retain the rationality and authenticity of the lighting effect to the greatest extent.

[0059] like Figure 3D As shown, Figure 3D An example 300D of a mobile lighting assembly is shown.

[0060] like Figure 3D As shown, the electronic device 110 can determine a first position of the lighting component in the virtual scene. The electronic device 110 can determine multiple placement positions of multiple virtual light sources based on the first position and the configuration information. The electronic device 110 can also bind the multiple virtual light sources to multiple voxels in the virtual scene based on the multiple placement positions.

[0061] For example, the electronic device 110 may first determine that the lighting component 320 is at the first position 346-1, and then the electronic device 110 determines the positions 340-1, 342-1, and 344-1 at which the virtual light source is placed based on the first position 346-1 and the configuration information. After determining the position, the electronic device 110 may bind the virtual light source to the voxels at the determined position. For example, these voxels may be located at positions 340-1, 342-1, and 344-1.

[0062] In other embodiments, the electronic device 110 may also determine the offset information of the multiple virtual light sources relative to the first position based on the configuration information. The electronic device 110 may also determine the multiple placement positions of the multiple virtual light sources based on the first position and the offset information. In other words, the position of the virtual light source may not coincide with the position of the illumination component. However, in some embodiments, the position of the virtual light source may coincide with the position of the illumination component.

[0063] For example, the electronic device 110 may determine the offset information of the virtual light source relative to the first position 346-1 based on the configuration information described above. The offset information may indicate the offset direction and distance of the virtual light source relative to the lighting component. After determining the above offset information, the electronic device 110 may determine the placement position of the virtual light source (e.g., positions 340-1, 342-1, and 344-1).

[0064] In some embodiments, the electronic device 110 may rebind multiple virtual light sources to multiple new voxels in the virtual scene based on the configuration information in response to the lighting component being moved to the second position in the virtual scene. For example, if the lighting component 320 is moved to the second position 346-2, the electronic device 110 may rebind multiple virtual light sources to the voxels at positions 340-2, 342-2, and 344-2. Thus, the synchronous movement of the lighting component and the virtual light source is achieved.

[0065] refer to Figure 3E , Figure 3E An example 300E is shown in which an occluding object exists between a virtual light source and a lighting component.

[0066] like Figure 3E As shown, the electronic device 110 can determine whether the positional relationship between the target placement position of the target virtual light source and the first position satisfies the preset constraint based on the scene information of the virtual scene. For example, the electronic device 110 can determine whether the positional relationship between the position of the virtual light source and the position of the light component satisfies the preset constraint based on the position of the virtual object in the virtual scene.

[0067] In some embodiments, the preset constraint is related to whether there is an occluding object between the target placement position and the first position in the virtual scene.

[0068] For example, in Figure 3E In the scene shown in , there is an occluding object 350 between the lighting component 320 and the virtual light source 360-2, while there is no occluding object between the lighting component 320 and the virtual light sources 360-1 and 360-3. As a result, the positional relationship between the position of the virtual light source 360-2 and the position of the lighting component 320 does not satisfy the preset constraint. Therefore, the virtual light source 360-2 can be determined as an invalid virtual light source, so that no virtual lighting is provided. Therefore, the virtual light source 360-2 can be deleted or unbound.

[0069] In some embodiments, the electronic device 110 may bind the target virtual light source to the voxel corresponding to the target placement position in response to the position relationship satisfying the preset constraint. For example, if the virtual light sources 360-1 and 360-3 satisfy the preset constraint of the position relationship, the two virtual light sources are determined to be valid, and the two virtual light sources may be bound to the corresponding voxels.

[0070] In some embodiments, the process of determining the occluding object can be determined by a DDA linear rasterization algorithm, and by means of RayMarching stepping, it is calculated whether there are other virtual objects or other physical voxels between the lighting component and its attached virtual light source.

[0071] The above-mentioned occlusion test of the virtual light source reduces erroneous lighting effects, makes the lighting in the virtual scene more realistic, and improves the presentation effect of the lighting effect of the virtual scene.

[0072] In some embodiments, the lighting calculation in the virtual scene may adopt rules and evolutions such as cellular automata, and the lighting at each location may comprehensively consider the properties of the lighting present in the virtual scene such as ambient light.

[0073] The basic components of cellular automata include cells, cellular space, neighbors, and rules. Cells are the most basic components of cellular automata, and they are distributed on the lattice points of discrete one-dimensional, two-dimensional, or multi-dimensional Euclidean space. Each cell has a discrete state at each moment, such as {0,1}. The cellular space is the set of spatial grid points where cells are distributed, which can be a triangular grid, a quadrilateral grid, or a hexagonal grid. Neighbors mean that the evolution rules of cellular automata are local, and when updating the state of a specified cell, only the states of its neighboring cells need to be known. The rules define how the cell state is updated, which is usually the same for each cell, does not change over time, and applies to the entire grid.

[0074] For example, the electronic device 110 can divide the space into cells (voxel units), each cell is affected by the surrounding neighboring cells, and the rules of this influence are unified for each cell. Each cell in the cellular automaton evolves according to the established rules in a certain area and time domain.

[0075] Based on the above-mentioned lighting calculation method, the lighting calculation amount of the electronic device 110 can be significantly reduced, and the lighting effect in the virtual scene can be guaranteed to be unaffected to the greatest extent, thereby improving the operating efficiency of the electronic device 110 and optimizing the presentation of the lighting effect of the virtual scene.

[0076] Based on this approach, the embodiments of the present disclosure can enable users to quickly and easily place light groups in a virtual scene, and the lighting calculation method of the embodiments of the present disclosure can also effectively reduce the computing power consumption of lighting calculation and maximize the lighting presentation effect. In addition, the embodiments of the present disclosure can also simulate more complex lighting effects (for example, surface light sources, spherical light sources, colored light sources, etc.).

[0077] Therefore, the embodiments of the present disclosure can improve the lighting effect in the virtual scene and enhance the realism of the lighting.
