Description

Technical Field

[0001] This disclosure relates to the field of computer technology, and more particularly to a method and apparatus for editing components in a game, a program product, and an electronic device. Background Technology

[0002] In games that support UGC (User-Generated Content), players typically require various types of component resources to meet the needs of different environments and scenes when building level maps. Current technologies require providing separate texture resources for each type of component for players to choose from. For example, for a wood component, if a twisted texture is desired, a separate component with twisted wood grain needs to be created; if a spliced ​​plank effect is desired, a separate plank component needs to be created. This approach leads to a rapid increase in the number of resources, with each new effect requiring the creation of a separate component, which is time-consuming, inefficient, and increases the workload for developers. Furthermore, these technologies struggle to adapt to constantly changing requirements, lacking flexibility and scalability. Summary of the Invention

On the one hand, it provides users with material editing controls corresponding to the target texture map, responds to the user's second editing operation on the material editing controls, determines the material parameters set for the target texture map, and renders according to these material parameters.

Detailed Implementation

[0010] Exemplary embodiments of this disclosure will be described more fully below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0011] The accompanying drawings are schematic illustrations of this disclosure and are not necessarily drawn to scale. Some block diagrams shown in the drawings may be functional entities and do not necessarily correspond to physically or logically independent entities. These functional entities may be implemented in software, in hardware modules or integrated circuits, or in networks, processors, or microcontrollers. Implementations can be carried out in various forms and should not be construed as limited to the examples set forth herein. The features, structures, or characteristics described in this disclosure can be combined in any suitable manner in one or more embodiments. Numerous specific details are provided in the following description to give a thorough description of embodiments of this disclosure. However, those skilled in the art will recognize that one or more specific details may be omitted when implementing the technical solutions of this disclosure, or other methods, components, apparatuses, steps, etc., may be used to replace one or more specific details.

[0012] In games that support UGC (User Generated Content), players typically need various types of component resources to meet different environmental and scene requirements when building level maps. For example, glass materials may require variations such as smooth, cracked, or scratched textures; cloth materials may include rope weave textures, silk textures, or wool textures. Traditional methods require providing separate texture resources for each type of component for players to choose from. This approach has several drawbacks: First, it leads to an exponential increase in the number of resources, consuming storage space and development resources. Second, it results in low development efficiency, as each new effect requires a separate component, which is time-consuming and inefficient, increasing the workload for developers. Third, it complicates resource management; as the number of components and skins increases, resource management and maintenance become complex, making efficient updates and maintenance difficult. Fourth, it limits the user experience; the large number of components and skins can confuse players when choosing, reducing the user experience. Fifth, it lacks scalability; this method struggles to adapt to constantly changing needs, lacking flexibility and extensibility.

[0013] In view of the above problems, an exemplary embodiment of this disclosure provides a method for editing components in a game. (See reference...) Figure 1 As shown, the component editing method in the game can include the following steps: Step S110: In the game editing stage, the game editing scene and the basic components in the game editing scene are displayed in the graphical user interface; Step S120: In response to the first editing operation, display the target texture map corresponding to the basic component and the material editing control set corresponding to the target texture map; Step S130: In response to the second editing operation, determine at least one material parameter set for the target texture map, wherein different material parameters correspond to different texture channels of the target texture map, and the channel values ​​stored in the texture channels are used to determine the display effect of the target texture map; Step S140: During the game running phase, the game running scene is displayed in the graphical user interface, and the basic components are rendered based on the rendering method determined by the target texture map and the material parameters, so as to render and generate the corresponding target components in the game running scene.

[0014] In the component editing method described above, during the game editing phase, a game editing scene and basic components within the game editing scene are displayed in the graphical user interface; in response to a first editing operation, a target texture map corresponding to the basic component and a material editing control set corresponding to the target texture map are displayed; in response to a second editing operation, at least one material parameter set for the target texture map is determined, wherein different material parameters correspond to different texture channels of the target texture map, and the channel values ​​stored in the texture channels are used to determine the display effect of the target texture map; during the game running phase, a game running scene is displayed in the graphical user interface, and the basic components are rendered based on the rendering method determined by the target texture map and the material parameters to generate the corresponding target components in the game running scene. On the one hand, it provides users with material editing controls corresponding to the target texture map, responds to the user's second editing operation on the material editing controls, determines the material parameters set for the target texture map, and renders according to these material parameters. Players only need to select the target texture map and adjust the corresponding material parameters to achieve the target component with the desired effect, lowering the threshold for UGC content creation and improving the player's creative experience. On the other hand, it solves the problem of providing different texture resources for components with different display effects in related technologies, reducing the number of texture resources. Furthermore, through the channel values ​​in different texture channels of the target texture map and the material parameters, a variety of different effects can be presented in the basic component, improving the flexibility and scalability of component editing.

[0015] The following will provide further explanation and description of steps S110-S140.

[0016] In step S110, during the game editing stage, the game editing scene and the basic components within the game editing scene are displayed in the graphical user interface.

[0017] The game editing scene displayed in the graphical user interface can be a three-dimensional scene. This three-dimensional scene may include a component library, which can include various types of basic components. These basic components can be terrain-based or obstacle-based, without specific limitations in this disclosure. Basic components are reusable 3D models used by players to build levels or scenes in the game, and are the smallest functional modules of UGC content. These basic components come with a basic appearance and structure, such as the planar structure of a template and its original wood grain.

[0018] In step S120, in response to the first editing operation, a target texture map corresponding to the basic component and a material editing control set corresponding to the target texture map are displayed.

[0019] The first editing operation can be a drag-and-drop operation of a basic component, that is, dragging the basic component from the component library into the 3D scene. Once the basic component is displayed in the 3D scene, it can be displayed as follows: Figure 2 The image shows the target texture map corresponding to this basic component and the material editing controls corresponding to this target texture map. (Reference) Figure 3 As shown, the material editing control may include multiple material parameters, such as the degree of coloring of material details, the roughness of material details, the metallicity of material details, the self-illumination intensity of material details, the parallax depth of material details, the display range of material details, the normal intensity of material details, the horizontal repeatability of material details, the vertical repeatability of material details, the horizontal offset of material details, the vertical offset of material details, and the rotation angle of material details. In this disclosure, no specific limitation is made on the material parameters included in the material editing control.

[0020] In step S130, in response to the second editing operation, at least one material parameter is determined for the target texture map, wherein different material parameters correspond to different texture channels of the target texture map, and the channel values ​​stored in the texture channels are used to determine the display effect of the target texture map.

[0021] The second editing operation involves adjusting at least one material parameter included in the material editing control. The target texture map is a multi-channel texture map, and its channels can store effect attributes that would otherwise require multiple independent textures to achieve. This target texture map can include four map channels: RGBA. Splitting the map channels of the target texture map is equivalent to splitting its RGBA channels. Different attribute information can be stored in each map channel. Different material parameters correspond to different map channels of the target texture map, and the channel values ​​stored in different map channels determine the display effect of the target texture map.

[0022] In one implementation, the texture channels of the target texture map are split to obtain split channels, and the attribute information of the target texture map is stored based on the split channels, including: The texture channels of the target texture map are split into a first channel, a second channel, and a third channel; The first channel stores the normal information of the target texture map, the second channel stores the texture information of the target texture map, and the third channel stores the masking information of the target texture map.

[0023] Specifically, the four channels of the target texture map are split into a first channel, a second channel, and a third channel. The first channel can store data such as... Figure 4The normal data of the target texture map shown can be stored in the second channel as follows: Figure 5 The texture variation data of the target texture map shown can be stored in the third channel as follows: Figure 6 The masking data for the target texture map is shown. The normal information of the target texture map can be a 3D normal vector, and the texture information can be the dynamic rendering effect of the texture. This dynamic texture information is used to control the grayscale data set of the dynamic rendering of the detailed texture, i.e., it is a grayscale image. The normal information in the first channel is superimposed with the normal information of the base component, causing a bump effect on the surface of the base component. The texture information in the second channel controls the changes in the texture in the base component, such as directional rendering. The masking information in the third channel controls the color, metallicity, roughness, etc. of the component.

[0024] In one optional implementation, the first channel can be an R or G channel, the second channel can be a B channel, and the third channel can be an A channel. In other optional implementations, the first channel can be a B or A channel, the second channel can be an R channel, and the third channel can be a G channel. This disclosure does not specifically limit the channel splitting of the target texture map.

[0025] In step S140, during the game running phase, the game running scene is displayed in the graphical user interface, and the basic components are rendered based on the rendering method determined by the target texture map and the material parameters, so as to render and generate the corresponding target components in the game running scene.

[0026] During game runtime, the game scene is displayed in the graphical user interface. The target texture map is rendered onto the base component to obtain the target component, which is then displayed in the game scene. The target component is made by rendering the target texture map onto the base component. The rendering method is determined based on the material parameters edited by the user and the texture channel corresponding to those material parameters.

[0027] In one embodiment, the method further includes: The target texture map is sampled to obtain the first channel value, the second channel value, and the third channel value of the target texture map; The first channel value is solved to obtain the normal vector of the target texture map; Based on the second channel value, the texture change data of the target texture map is obtained; Based on the third channel value, the masking data of the target texture map is obtained.

[0028] Specifically, UV sampling is performed on the detailed texture of the target texture map. That is, UV sampling is performed on all textures of the target texture map, including multiple texture channels, to obtain the first, second, and third channel values ​​of the target texture map. The first channel stores the normal information of the target texture map; therefore, the normal vector of the target texture map can be obtained by solving the first channel value. The second channel stores the texture variation information of the target texture map; after sampling the second channel value, the texture variation data of the target texture map can be obtained based on this second channel value. The third channel stores the masking information of the target texture map; after sampling the third channel value, the masking data of the target texture map can be obtained based on this third channel value.

[0029] In one optional implementation, when the first split channel is an R channel and a G channel, the R channel stores the X component of the normal vector, and the G channel stores the Y component of the normal vector. After obtaining the X component and the Y component, the Z component of the normal vector can be derived from the X component and the Y component. Based on the X component, the Y component and the Z component, the normal vector of the target texture map is obtained.

[0030] In one implementation, rendering the basic component based on a rendering method determined by the target texture map and the material parameters includes: Determine the target channel value corresponding to the material parameter, determine the rendering method based on the target channel value and the material parameter, and perform rendering based on the rendering method.

[0031] Specifically, the target channel value corresponding to the material parameter is determined, and the rendering method of the target texture map is determined based on the target channel value and the material parameter. After determining the rendering method, the target texture map is rendered on the base component.

[0032] In one implementation, when the object of the second editing operation is chromaticity for material details, the steps of determining the target channel value corresponding to the material parameters, determining the rendering method based on the target channel value and the material parameters, and performing rendering based on the rendering method include: The color of the texture in the target texture map is adjusted according to the chromaticity of the material details to obtain a first color; Based on the masking data in the third channel value corresponding to the chromaticity of the material detail, the color of the base component is superimposed with the first color to obtain the second color; The basic components are rendered based on the second color.

[0033] Specifically, Figure 7The diagram illustrates a basic component and a target component rendered based on the material detail chromaticity. When the user edits the material parameter in the material editing control to the material detail chromaticity, firstly, the color of the target texture map is obtained, and the texture color in the target texture map is adjusted according to this material detail chromaticity to obtain a first color. Secondly, the target channel corresponding to the material detail chromaticity is the third channel. Therefore, the mask data of the target texture map corresponding to this third channel value is obtained. Based on this mask data, the color of the basic component is superimposed with the first color to obtain a second color. The target texture map is then rendered in the basic component based on the second color.

[0034] In this embodiment, the chromaticity value of the material details directly controls the proportion of the texture color parameters in the final image. The higher the value, the more prominent the detail color; the lower the value, the fainter the detail color, ultimately achieving the effect of freely adjusting the intensity of detail color.

[0035] In one implementation, when the object of the second editing operation is material detail roughness, the steps of determining the target channel value corresponding to the material parameter, determining the rendering method based on the target channel value and the material parameter, and performing rendering based on the rendering method include: The roughness of the texture in the target texture map is adjusted according to the material detail roughness to obtain a first roughness; Based on the masking data in the third channel value corresponding to the material detail roughness, the roughness of the basic component is superimposed with the first roughness to obtain the second roughness; The basic component is rendered based on the second roughness.

[0036] Specifically, Figure 8 The diagram illustrates target components corresponding to different levels of material detail roughness. When the user edits the material parameter as material detail roughness in the material editing control, firstly, the roughness of the target texture map is obtained. Based on the user-edited material detail roughness, the roughness of the texture in the target texture map is adjusted to obtain the first roughness. Secondly, the target channel corresponding to this material detail roughness is the third channel. Therefore, the mask data of the target texture map corresponding to the third channel is obtained. Based on this mask data, the roughness of the base component is superimposed with the first roughness to obtain the second roughness. The base component is then rendered based on the second roughness.

[0037] In this embodiment, the roughness of the base component and the first roughness of the target texture map are mixed by masking data to obtain the second roughness of the target texture map, thus distinguishing the roughness of the target texture map from the roughness of the base component and achieving a more refined material texture.

[0038] In one implementation, when the object of the second editing operation is the metallicity of a material detail, the steps of determining the target channel value corresponding to the material parameter, determining the rendering method based on the target channel value and the material parameter, and performing rendering based on the rendering method include: The metallicity of the target texture map is adjusted based on the metallicity of the material details to obtain a first metallicity; Based on the masking data in the third channel value corresponding to the metallicity of the material details, the metallicity of the basic component is superimposed with the first metallicity to obtain the second metallicity; The basic components are rendered based on the second metallicity.

[0039] Specifically, when the user edits the material parameter as material detail metallicity in the material editing control, firstly, the metallicity of the target texture map is obtained, and the metallicity of the texture in the target texture map is adjusted according to the material detail metallicity edited by the user to obtain the first metallicity; secondly, the target channel corresponding to the material detail metallicity is the third channel, so the mask data of the target texture map corresponding to the third channel is obtained, and the metallicity of the basic component is superimposed with the first metallicity according to the mask data to obtain the second metallicity, and the basic component is rendered based on the second metallicity.

[0040] In this embodiment, the metallicity of the base component and the first metallicity of the target texture map are mixed by masking data to obtain the second metallicity, thereby distinguishing the metallicity of the target texture map from the metallicity of the base component and achieving a more refined material texture.

[0041] In related technologies, Unity's Metallic and Smoothness affect the overall metallicity and roughness of an object. It's not possible to adjust the metallicity and roughness of detail textures individually, nor are there any other effect adjustments, and three additional texture maps are required to achieve the desired effect. However, this disclosure achieves various editing effects on the roughness and metallicity of basic components through the masking data of the target texture map.

[0042] In one implementation, when the object of the second editing operation is the self-illumination intensity of material details, the steps of determining the target channel value corresponding to the material parameters, determining the rendering method based on the target channel value and the material parameters, and performing rendering based on the rendering method include: The emission color of the target texture map is adjusted according to the self-emission intensity of the material details to obtain the first emission color; The target emission color of the target texture map is determined based on the masking data in the third channel value corresponding to the self-emission intensity of the material detail and the first emission color. The basic components are rendered based on the target emission color.

[0043] Specifically, when the user edits the material parameter as the material detail self-illumination intensity in the material editing control, firstly, the illumination color of the target texture map is obtained, and the illumination color of the texture in the target texture map is adjusted according to the material detail self-illumination intensity set by the user to obtain the first illumination color; secondly, the target channel corresponding to the material detail self-illumination intensity is the third channel, therefore, the mask data of the target texture map corresponding to the third channel is obtained, and the target illumination color is obtained according to the mask data and the first illumination color, and the basic component is rendered according to the target illumination color.

[0044] For example, when the user sets the material detail self-illumination intensity to 0.8, the target self-illumination color equals the emission color of the target texture map. 0.8 Masking data, that is, when the color of the target texture map is yellow, it emits yellow light with 80% brightness in the area with a masking value of 1, and does not emit light in the area with a masking value of 0.

[0045] In one implementation, when the object of the second editing operation is material detail parallax depth, the steps of determining the target channel value corresponding to the material parameter, determining the rendering method based on the target channel value and the material parameter, and performing rendering based on the rendering method include: Based on the material detail parallax depth and the masking data in the third channel value corresponding to the material detail parallax depth, the UV coordinate offset is determined, and the UV coordinates of the base component are offset according to the UV coordinate offset to obtain the target UV coordinates. The first channel value is sampled based on the target UV coordinates, and the sampling result is calculated into a target normal vector. The base component is then rendered based on the target normal vector.

[0046] Specifically, the rendering of detail parallax depth simulates the visual offset observed by the human eye, allowing 2D detail textures to appear as 3D raised and recessed textures on the surface of the base component. The detail parallax depth parameter is the core coefficient for calculating the texture offset distance, and the offset effect dynamically changes with the player's viewpoint. When the user edits the material parameter as the material detail parallax depth in the material editing control, firstly, the range of the material detail parallax depth is validated. If the validation passes, in the area where the mask data is effective, the UV offset is calculated based on the material detail parallax depth. Based on this UV offset, the UV coordinates are offset to obtain the target UV. Then, the normal information in the first channel of the target texture map is sampled using this target UV, and the sampled normal information is solved to obtain the target normal vector. The base component is then rendered based on this target normal vector.

[0047] In one implementation, when the object of the second editing operation is the material detail display area, adjusting the properties of the target texture map according to the material parameters, and rendering the target texture map in the base component based on the adjusted properties and the channel values ​​corresponding to the material parameters, includes: The texture variation data in the second channel value is adjusted according to the material detail display range; The target texture map is rendered onto the base component based on the adjusted texture change data.

[0048] Specifically, Figure 9 The diagram illustrates the target components corresponding to different material detail display ranges. When the user edits the material parameter in the material editing control to the material detail display range, firstly, the texture change data of the target texture map in the second channel value corresponding to the material detail display range is obtained. Secondly, this texture change data is compared with the material detail display range, and the texture change data is adjusted according to the material detail display range to obtain the adjusted texture change data. Finally, the rendering of the basic component is controlled based on the adjusted texture change data.

[0049] In one implementation, adjusting the texture variation data in the second channel value according to the material detail display range includes: When the grayscale value of a pixel in the texture change data is greater than the material detail display range, the grayscale value of the pixel is set to a first preset value; When the grayscale value of a pixel in the texture change data is not greater than the material detail display range, the grayscale value of the pixel is set to a second preset value.

[0050] Specifically, the texture change data can be a texture change map, which is a grayscale image. The grayscale value of each pixel in the texture change map is compared with the material detail display range set by the user. When the grayscale value of a pixel is greater than the material detail display range, the grayscale value of the pixel can be set to a first preset value. When the grayscale value of a pixel is not greater than the material detail display range, the grayscale value of the pixel can be set to a second preset value.

[0051] In one optional implementation, the first preset value can be 1, and the second preset value can be 0. The first and second preset values ​​are not specifically limited in this disclosure. When the first preset value is set to 1, it indicates that the texture of the target texture map is displayed at the pixel position corresponding to the base component. When the second preset value is set to 0, it indicates that the texture of the target texture map is hidden at the pixel position corresponding to the base component, and only the texture of the base component itself is displayed.

[0052] In one implementation, controlling the rendering of the base component based on the adjusted texture change data includes: Based on the grayscale values ​​of the pixels in the adjusted texture change data, determine the display effect of the target texture map in the basic component; The basic components are rendered based on the aforementioned display effect control.

[0053] Specifically, based on the grayscale value of each pixel in the adjusted texture change data, the display effect of the target texture map in the basic component is determined. That is, when the grayscale value of a pixel is 1, the color of the corresponding pixel in the target texture map is fully displayed; when the grayscale value of a pixel is 0, the color of the corresponding pixel in the target texture map is not displayed. The rendering of the basic component is controlled based on this display effect.

[0054] In one implementation, when the object of the second editing operation is the material detail normal intensity, the steps of determining the target channel value corresponding to the material parameter, determining the rendering method based on the target channel value and the material parameter, and performing rendering based on the rendering method include: Obtain the normal vector in the first channel value corresponding to the material detail normal intensity, and mix the normal vector Xiangling with the first normal vector of the base component based on the material detail normal intensity to obtain the target normal vector; Lighting calculations are performed based on the target normal vector to obtain the target calculation results, and rendering is performed based on the target calculation results.

[0055] Specifically, Figure 10This diagram illustrates the basic component and the target component obtained after editing the material detail normal intensity. When the user edits the material parameter to the material detail normal intensity in the material editing control, firstly, the channel corresponding to this material detail normal intensity is determined as the first channel, and its value is obtained. Based on this first channel value, the normal vector is obtained. Then, based on the user-set material detail normal intensity, the obtained normal vector is blended with the first normal vector of the basic component to obtain the target normal vector. After obtaining the target normal vector, the final color of each pixel is calculated using a lighting model based on this target normal vector, and the basic component is rendered based on the final color of each pixel.

[0056] In one embodiment, when the object of the second editing operation is the horizontal repeatability of material details and / or the vertical repeatability of material details, the method further includes: Based on the horizontal and / or vertical repeatability of material details, the UV coordinates of the base component are scaled to obtain scaled UV coordinates. The target texture map is sampled based on scaled UV coordinates, and the basic components are rendered based on the sampling results.

[0057] Specifically, the horizontal and vertical repeatability of material details control the number of times the detailed texture of the target texture map is repeated in the horizontal and vertical directions of the base component, determining the density of the texture. When the user edits the material parameters in the material editing control as the horizontal and / or vertical repeatability of material details, firstly, the UV coordinates of the base component are scaled according to the horizontal and / or vertical repeatability of material details to obtain scaled UV coordinates, and then the target texture map is sampled based on the scaled UV coordinates to obtain the sampling result, and the base component is rendered based on the sampling result.

[0058] In one embodiment, when the object of the second editing operation is a horizontal offset of material details and / or a vertical offset of material details, the method further includes: Based on the horizontal offset and / or vertical offset of the material details, the UV coordinates of the base component are offset to obtain the offset UV coordinates; The target texture map is sampled based on the offset UV coordinates, and the basic components are rendered based on the sampling results.

[0059] Specifically, the horizontal and / or vertical offset of material details control the positional offset of the detail texture in the horizontal and vertical directions of the base component. When the user edits the material parameters in the material editing control as horizontal and / or vertical offset of material details, the UV coordinates of the base component are offset according to the horizontal and / or vertical offset of material details to obtain offset UV coordinates. The target texture map is sampled based on the offset UV coordinates to obtain the sampling result, and the base component is rendered according to the sampling result.

[0060] In one embodiment, when the object of the second editing operation is the rotation angle of material details, the method further includes: Based on the rotation angle of the material details, the UV coordinates of the basic component are rotated to obtain the rotated UV coordinates; The target texture map is sampled based on rotated UV coordinates, and the basic components are rendered based on the sampling results.

[0061] Specifically, the material detail rotation angle is used to control the rotation of the detailed texture of the target texture map around a point on the surface of the base component. When the user edits the material parameter as the material detail rotation angle in the material editing control, the UV coordinates of the base component are rotated according to the material detail rotation angle to obtain the rotated UV coordinates. The target texture map is then sampled based on the rotated UV coordinates to obtain the sampling result, and the base component is rendered based on the sampling result.

[0062] In related technologies, the DetailMask needs to change synchronously with the Albedo's Tiling and Offset parameters, resulting in the tiling and offset effects of the detail texture being limited by the Albedo's base texture parameters and unable to be adjusted independently. Compared to related technologies, this disclosure improves the independent controllability of the detail texture. The detail texture exists as an independent mask, and its tiling and offset parameters are decoupled from the Albedo's base texture parameters. The tiling density and offset position of the detail texture can be freely adjusted on the Albedo surface, achieving more flexible control over the detail texture layout. On the other hand, it enhances the refinement and diversity of material representation. Through the independent mask design of the detail texture, the tiling range and offset direction of the detail texture can be independently controlled on the same Albedo base texture surface, achieving a material effect with a unified base texture and differentiated detail textures, enriching the visual representation dimensions of component materials. Furthermore, it reduces the complexity of user editing operations. Users can directly edit the material parameters in the material editing control without modifying the base texture parameters, simplifying the component material editing process and improving editing efficiency.
