1Productivity
If a particle emission plug-in is used without integrated physical simulation, then the plug-in can emit particles in three-dimensional space, but it cannot conduct physical simulation of particle motion and requires external simulation results, leading to low rendering efficiency
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the particle simulation tool directly into the particle emission plug-in by creating a particle simulation object within the plug-in's namespace. This integration allows the plug-in to simultaneously perform particle emission and physical simulation without requiring external simulation results, thereby improving rendering efficiency while maintaining system coherence.
Solution Approach 2:
The particle emission plug-in is enhanced to serve multiple functions: it can emit particles, conduct physical simulation of particle motion, and render physical special effects. By making the plug-in multi-functional, the patent eliminates the need for separate external simulation tools and improves overall rendering efficiency.
2Ease of operation
If physical simulation is integrated into the particle emission plug-in, then real-time physical special effect rendering is enabled, but the plug-in structure becomes more complex
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the physical simulation functionality into a separate particle simulation object that is instantiated within the plug-in. This object has its own data structure and methods for calculating particle motion states, allowing the simulation functionality to be modular and manageable despite being integrated into the plug-in.
Solution Approach 2:
The particle simulation object acts as an intermediary between the particle emission functionality and the rendering system. It receives particle emission data, performs physical simulation calculations, and outputs motion state information for rendering, thereby enabling real-time rendering while organizing the complexity through a clear intermediate layer.
3Reliability
If external simulation results are used for particle motion, then physical simulation can be achieved, but the rendering process becomes inefficient due to the need to obtain results from external sources
Solution Approach 1:
By merging the particle simulation tool into the particle emission plug-in, the patent enables the simulation to be performed internally without needing to obtain results from external sources. This eliminates the time delay associated with external simulation processes while maintaining simulation accuracy.
Solution Approach 2:
The particle simulation object is pre-configured within the plug-in with all necessary simulation parameters and methods. This preliminary setup allows the simulation to be executed immediately when particle emission occurs, without the need to externally acquire simulation results, thereby reducing time loss.

AI summary
This application relates to a physical special effect rendering method performed by a computer device. The method includes: obtaining physical special effect data of physical special effect particles emitted by a particle emission plug-in in a previous frame; obtaining a first target instance obtained by instantiating a scene management class; invoking, through the first target instance, a scene manager of a particle simulation tool to calculate motion state information of the physical special effect particles in a current frame based on the physical special effect data in the previous frame; and updating the physical special effect data in the previous frame based on the motion state information of the current frame to render a physical special effect in the current frame.
