Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If virtual smoke is released by throwing the virtual smoke grenade with a fixed diffusion radius, then the control and predictability of the virtual throwable effect is improved, but the realism and consistency with real-world cognition deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies the dynamics principle by making the diffusion radius of virtual smoke adjustable rather than fixed. The system dynamically changes the diffusion radius based on environmental factors such as wind speed and direction, allowing the virtual smoke to behave more realistically while maintaining controllable parameters for game balance
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements parameter changes by modifying the diffusion radius parameter of virtual smoke based on environmental conditions. The system adjusts this parameter dynamically according to wind speed, wind direction, and other environmental factors, enabling the virtual smoke to exhibit realistic diffusion patterns while maintaining predictable control through defined adjustment rules
2Device complexity
If the virtual fluid substance diffuses in all directions uniformly, then the simplicity of the diffusion model is improved, but the realism of fluid-obstacle interaction deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies segmentation by dividing the diffusion space into different regions based on obstacle positions and wind directions. The virtual fluid substance diffusion is segmented into allowed directions and blocked directions, creating a more realistic interaction model while maintaining computational efficiency through spatial partitioning
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements local quality by making the diffusion behavior of virtual fluid substance location-dependent. Different regions of the virtual environment have different diffusion characteristics based on local obstacle distributions and wind conditions, allowing realistic fluid-obstacle interactions in critical areas while maintaining simplicity in open spaces
