The virtual light can be a virtual fluorescent lamp in a game scene or virtual sunlight; the virtual light control mode can be that the illumination angle is automatically changed according to the requirement of a game scene, and can also be that the illumination angle is independently controlled and adjusted by a player.
As an alternative embodiment, the face normal is a boundary line between a shadow region and a non-shadow region formed by the virtual light irradiated on the face model. As shown in fig. 2, the normal direction of the face model of the virtual character is modified to be within a uniform range, so that the face model of the virtual character can show a relatively complete light and shade pure color block at a fixed illumination angle, and a light and shadow effect in a hand-drawing style is achieved.
As an alternative embodiment, the sampling key frames are a plurality of sampling importance key frames which are automatically generated; for example, taking an illumination angle of virtual light right in front of a face model of a virtual character as 0 °, the generated key frames can be determined at several fixed illumination angles of 0 °, 30 °, 60 °, -30 °, -60 °, the generated key frames are different due to different illumination angles, and the finally generated illumination maps are also different, so that different key frames can be obtained by changing different illumination angles according to the actual situation of the virtual character in a game scene, and the obtained different key frames will affect the final illumination map.

float radians = radians (chf ("angle")); // define the illumination angle
vector light _ pos = set (cos (radians), 0,sin (radians)); // define the position of the light source
vector a = @ N; v/define face vertex Normal
vector b = normalyze (light _ pos- @ P); v/calculate light Source to face vertex vector
f @ df = chf ("lambert")) dot (a, b) + (1-chf ("lambert")); the/Lambert illumination model calculates the illumination influence of light sources on the face
f @ df = fit (f @ df, chf ("min _ value"), 1,0,1); the vector of// remap light source to face is multiplied by dot value of normal of face vertex to 0-1 for displaying color
v @ cd = f @ df; assigning the calculated value to a color attribute
In an alternative embodiment, controlling the virtual lighting to illuminate the face model from a plurality of illumination angles, the determining the face normal for each of the plurality of illumination angles comprises:
step S302, determining a triangle light position and a target shadow position of the face model, wherein the triangle light position comprises a projection area of a brow bone, a nose bridge and a cheekbone in the face model, and the target shadow position comprises a shadow area of a nose in the face model;
step S304, respectively acquiring a first normal of the position of the triangular light and a second normal of the position of the target shadow under the plurality of illumination angles;
step S306 is to determine the face normal line based on the first normal line and the second normal line.
As an alternative embodiment, the triangle light position of the face model is a projection region (i.e., a non-shadow region) of the brow bone, the nose bridge, and the cheekbones in the face model; the target shadow position includes, but is not limited to, a shadow region of a nose in the face model, and in the embodiment of the present application, different shadow regions may be determined according to character features of different virtual characters, for example, a shadow region formed by a dimple, a shadow region formed by hair, and the like. After the target shadow region is determined, a first normal is determined according to a position of the triangular light and the second normal is determined according to the shadow region.
As an alternative embodiment, at each different illumination angle, a first normal of the position of the triangle light and a second normal of the position of the target shadow need to be obtained, and the face normal is determined based on the actual conditions of the first normal and the second normal, for example, a normal is selected from the first normal and the second normal as the face normal, or an intersection line between the first normal and the second normal is taken as the face normal.
In an optional embodiment, after acquiring the first normal of the position of the triangle light, the method further includes:
step S402, acquiring the face curvature, the first normal direction and the height information of the face model;
step S404, determining a target region where the position of the triangle light is located in the face model based on the curvature of the face, the first normal direction and the height information, wherein a central position point of the target region is a central point of the position of the triangle light;
step S406, respectively assigning a weight value and a set normal to each of all position points in the target area, wherein the weight values corresponding to other position points closer to the central position point in all position points are higher, and the weight values corresponding to other position points farther from the central position point in all position points are lower;
step S408, calculating a vector sum value between the normal of the face and the set normal according to the weight value;
step S410, after the vector sum value is normalized, the weight value and the normal direction of the set normal are adjusted based on the illumination angle to modify the first normal.
In the embodiment of the present disclosure, a face model of the virtual character is acquired, a face curvature, a normal direction, and height information are calculated, and a position range of a face triangle light, that is, a target area where the triangle light position is located in the face model is automatically calculated according to the face curvature, the first normal direction, and the height information, where a central position point of the target area is a central point of the triangle light position.
In the embodiment of the present disclosure, in the located target area in the face model, the target area is represented as the position of the face triangle light by an editable curve, the curve is mirrored to obtain another half of symmetric triangle light, all position points in the target area are respectively assigned with a weight value, the higher the weight value of the point closer to the center position is, the lower the weight value of the point closer to the edge is, as shown in fig. 4, the center of the area shown after the weight value is assigned is dark in color, that is, the weight value is high, and the edge color is light, that is, the weight value is low. And setting a new method set _ N, namely the set normal, for all points in the region, calculating the sum of the normal of the original face and the newly set normal vector according to the weight value of each point, and performing normalization treatment: normative (@ N + @ dense @ Set _ N), where N denotes a normal, density denotes a weight value assigned to a point in the region, set _ N denotes a direction of the normal newly Set according to the weight value, and normative denotes normalization; after the normalization processing is completed, the weight value and the normal direction of the set normal are adjusted based on the illumination angle, so as to automatically modify the first normal.
In the embodiment of the disclosure, the normal direction of the face triangular light area is adjusted according to the illumination angle, that is, the weight value and the newly set normal direction are adjusted, so that when the light is at different illumination angles, the normal directions corresponding to the face triangular light area are also different, and the function of automatically modifying the normal in real time according to the light direction can be realized. The method can solve the problems of very complicated and long work flow and has the characteristics of high efficiency and high quality.
In an optional embodiment, before assigning a weight value and setting a normal to each of all location points in the target area, the method further includes:
step S502, marking a first face triangular light in the target area by adopting an editable curve;
step S504, a second face triangular light symmetrical to the first face triangular light is obtained by carrying out mirror image processing on the editable curve;
step S506 is performed to identify all the position points in the target area based on the first surface triangle light and the second surface triangle light.
The target area is expressed as the first face triangle beam, which is the position of the face triangle beam, by an editable curve, and the second face triangle beam, which is the second symmetrical triangle beam, is obtained by mirroring the curve, and is symmetrical to the first face triangle beam; and determining all position points in the target area according to the first surface triangular light and the second surface triangular light.
In an alternative embodiment, the obtaining the second normal of the target shadow position by:
step S602, determining the face orientation of the face model;
step S604, determining the target shadow position based on the face orientation, wherein the shape of the target shadow position is represented by an editable curve;
step S606, based on the editable curve, determining the second normal line of the target shadow position according to the angle change of the illumination angle.
As an alternative embodiment, the face feature of the virtual character may be, for example: the clear characteristics of eyes, ears, nose, mouth and the like determine the face orientation of the virtual character; the target shadow position is determined after determining the face orientation of the face model, e.g., a shadow region of a nose in the face model.
In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the shape of the shadow region of the nose in the above face model may be represented by an editable curve; the point of the face furthest towards is first chosen as the position of the nose, the shape of the nose shadow is represented by an editable curve, and mirroring this curve yields the shape of the other half of the nose shadow, as shown in figure 5. According to the change of the illumination angle, two similar-strip-shaped curves are set for transition, so that the nose shadow has a change trend from large to small or from small to large according to the change of the light angle, and the nose shadow effect of a hand-drawing style under real illumination is simulated.
In an optional embodiment, before sampling the face normal with the sampling keyframe at each of the plurality of illumination angles, respectively, and generating an illumination map of the face model, the method further includes:
step S702, performing a homogenization treatment on the normal line of the face by projecting the sphere-like normal line to the face model, so as to obtain a homogenized normal line of the face, where a shadow curve of the homogenized normal line of the face at each illumination angle meets a predetermined requirement.
As an alternative embodiment, under real illumination, the shadow plane calculated according to the normal of the model itself is irregular and does not have the characteristic of a complete color block in a hand-drawing style, so that a certain correction process needs to be performed on the normal of the face. In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the adopted method may be, but is not limited to, projecting the normal of a sphere-like surface onto the model face, so that the normal of the model face is homogenized, and a perfect shadow curve can be presented at each illumination angle. As shown in fig. 6, the positions of the face apples, i.e., the triangle light and the nose, are automatically positioned during the homogenization process, and the normal line is automatically corrected to present a uniform, perfect shadow curve.
It should be noted that the predetermined requirement refers to that the face shadow curve is uniformly and perfectly displayed, and as shown in fig. 6, the face shadow before the normal line automatic correction is displayed as a non-uniform and perfect curve, that is, the predetermined requirement is not met, and the face shadow after the normal line automatic correction is uniformly and smoothly displayed, which meets the predetermined requirement.
In the embodiment of the present disclosure, several fixed illumination angles may also be set, the number of frames where the fixed angles are located is a sampling key frame (i.e., a sampling importance key frame), and a targeted process (e.g., a correction process) is performed on the several sampling key frames, for example, when the orientation angle between the light and the face model is 90 °, the deviation of the face shadow under the orientation angle is controlled to be about 2 °, a situation that a light and dark boundary line appears in the middle of the face model may be avoided, so that the final generated chartlet effect is more beautiful. As shown in fig. 7, the left side shows a shadow effect when the orientation angle is 90 °, the bright-dark boundary line is in the middle of the face model, the right side shows a shadow effect when the orientation is shifted by-2 °, and the bright-dark boundary line is also shifted and is not in the middle of the face model, which is more suitable for the rendering style of cartoon characters.
In an alternative embodiment, the sampling the face normal with the sampling keyframe at each of the plurality of illumination angles, respectively, and generating the illumination map of the face model includes:
step S802, sampling the homogenized face normal line by respectively adopting a plurality of sampling key frames under each illumination angle in the plurality of illumination angles to obtain a plurality of sampling results;
step S804, carrying out interpolation calculation on a plurality of sampling results to obtain a plurality of interpolation frames;
step S806 is to generate the illumination map based on the inter-frame mean calculated from the plurality of inter-frames.
As an alternative embodiment, as shown in fig. 8, the illumination angle is automatically changed, the keyframe is sampled, and the illumination map at the selected angle of the keyframe can be automatically generated. The problems that a large number of key frames need to be drawn by hand and shadow curves need to be modified continuously are solved.
In the embodiment of the present disclosure, distance field calculation and interpolation may also be performed on the keyframe sampling result, and by setting the keyframe weight, the rhythm control is performed on the important light and shadow effect transition, so that the good-looking light and shadow effect has a longer shape in the illumination change, as shown in fig. 9; finally, the mean value of the interpolated inter-frame is calculated to obtain the final face illumination map, as shown in fig. 10.
It should be noted that the interpolation frame is used for automatically generating the illumination map, for example, a target object defines different attributes on two key frames, such as a face angle, a position change, and the like of the target object, an animation automatically established between the two key frames is the interpolation frame, and the animation automatically established may be a plurality of interpolation frames; and performing correlation calculation on the plurality of interpolation frames to obtain an interpolation frame mean value, and generating the illumination map based on the interpolation frame mean value.
In an alternative embodiment, the homogenizing the face normal, and obtaining a homogenized face normal includes:
