The invention relates to the technical field of image rendering, and discloses a method and device for rendering
high dynamic range content, and the method comprises the steps: obtaining a triangular mesh representing a
terrain, a triangular mesh representing a three-dimensional object, a corresponding
terrain texture, and a corresponding three-dimensional object texture; rendering the scene model; rendering the
celestial body and the
sky atmosphere to obtain scene textures; performing downsampling operation on the scene texture, and calculating the average brightness of the current frame; extracting pixel points of which the brightness is higher than a preset threshold value from the downsampled scene texture, and generating an initial
floodlight texture; performing down-sampling operation,
Gaussian blur operation and up-sampling operation on the initial
floodlight texture in sequence to obtain a target
floodlight texture; and according to the scene texture and the target floodlight texture, combining the average brightness of the current frame, synthesizing an
exposure result of high-dynamic rendering, performing
tone mapping on the
exposure result, and displaying the
exposure result on a target
display device. The
dynamic range of the color
gamut and the brightness of three-dimensional scene rendering is expanded, and the rendering effect is improved.
