Detailed Description

In order to make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present application clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application, and it is obvious that the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present application, and not all the embodiments. The components of the embodiments of the present application, generally described and illustrated in the figures herein, can be arranged and designed in a wide variety of different configurations. Thus, the following detailed description of the embodiments of the present application, presented in the accompanying drawings, is not intended to limit the scope of the claimed application, but is merely representative of selected embodiments of the application. Every other embodiment that can be obtained by a person skilled in the art without making creative efforts based on the embodiments of the present application falls within the protection scope of the present application.

First, an application scenario to which the present application is applicable will be described. The method and the device can be applied to the technical field of image processing.

At present, the presentation of the lightning special effect in the three-dimensional game scene generally comprises the following modes: in a game engine stainer, a complex trigonometric function is used for simulating and restoring the lightning brightness change, and a lightning curve which is completely the same as a lightning video is manufactured by using a large number of trigonometric functions and an inverse trigonometric function; an animation system is adopted, and the brightness of each frame of lightning change in a lightning video is correspondingly set to the material by adjusting the brightness of the material; a particle effect system using scripts to control a game engine. The particle system is used for making special effects of single lightning, and then scripts are used for calling and triggering the special effects of the lightning at specific time intervals or random time intervals.

Research shows that the above methods all have certain disadvantages, specifically:

the complex trigonometric function is used for simulating and restoring the lightning brightness change, and because the real-time platform of the technical scheme is a mobile end platform, a large amount of trigonometric functions and inverse trigonometric functions are used in the stainer, so that a large amount of computational power consumption is generated in hardware. (if only a single lightning plot is restored, then the overhead is not high). Overall, the cost is that the machine performance overhead is large and the fabricator needs a strong mathematical and signaling background to fabricate exactly the same lightning curve.

With the particle animation system, whether ue4, Unity or Messiah, the particle system using the game engine typically takes a lot of time to frame, and each frame of the lightning change in the video is correspondingly restored to the game engine. Overall, the cost is time consuming and requires a significant amount of time to perform the alignment sanding.

The particle special effect system using script control game engine has the disadvantage that the special customized plug-in script control must be used for controlling the generation or playing of the special effects, and the special effects must be bound to use. The second disadvantage is that lightning changes in the video of the replicated target take a very long time. It is good to use this solution to make a lightning system simulating lightning, but it is very time consuming to make the same lightning changes as in the target video, since it takes much time to perform the comparison polishing as with the particle animation system.

Based on this, the embodiment of the application provides a method for presenting a special lightning effect in a game, so that the processing amount of data in a lightning rendering process is reduced, and the rendering efficiency of the special lightning effect is improved.

Referring to fig. 1, fig. 1 is a flowchart illustrating a method for presenting a special lightning effect in a game according to an embodiment of the present application. As shown in fig. 1, a method for presenting a special lightning effect in a game provided by an embodiment of the present application includes:

s101, responding to a trigger condition meeting a lightning special effect, inputting the brightness value of the target lightning on a video frame corresponding to each sampling time into a stainer rendering the lightning special effect, so that the stainer outputs a plurality of lightning rendering images respectively based on the brightness value of each video frame and a basic lightning morphological image, and determining the playing sequence of the lightning rendering images according to the sampling time.

And S102, rendering the lightning animation of the lightning special effect in a game scene according to each lightning rendering image in sequence based on the playing sequence of each lightning rendering image.

The embodiment of the application provides a method for presenting a special lightning effect in a game, the brightness value of determined target lightning on a video frame corresponding to each sampling time is input into a stainer, the stainer adjusts the brightness of a basic lightning form image through the relation between the video frame and the brightness value, an image is rendered through the lightning output by the stainer, a lightning animation is presented, due to the fact that only the target lightning brightness value is re-engraved and processed, the processing amount of data in the lightning rendering process is reduced, and the efficiency of rendering the special lightning effect is improved.

The following describes exemplary steps in an embodiment of the present application:

In the embodiment of the application, in response to the rendering requirement of the lightning special effect in a game scene, the brightness values of the video frames corresponding to the target lightning at each sampling time are input into a stainer for rendering the lightning special effect, a plurality of lightning rendering images are output through the stainer according to each brightness value and a basic lightning form image, and the playing sequence of the lightning rendering images is determined according to the sampling time.

In a possible embodiment, the special lightning effect is a special lightning effect with specific change, specifically, the special lightning effect in the embodiment of the present application is a special lightning effect with brightness changing along with time change, and generally, the form of the special lightning effect in the embodiment of the present application is basically kept unchanged.

In a possible implementation manner, the lightning special effect may be a lightning special effect in a weather environment, and may also be a lightning special effect carried by a target virtual character in a game scene in an execution operation and a corresponding execution operation.

Specifically, for a situation that a target virtual character triggers a game operation with a special lightning effect, when it is determined that the target virtual character executes the game operation with the special lightning effect, a condition that a special lightning effect is triggered is determined, and for the judgment that the target virtual character executes the game operation with the special lightning effect, it may be that a touch operation of a player on a control corresponding to the game operation is received; if the game operation with the special lightning effect executed by the target virtual character is periodic, whether the game operation with the special lightning effect is sent by the target virtual character can be determined according to the time node corresponding to the period.

Specifically, the condition that a lightning weather environment appears in a game scene can be animation presenting the weather environment, and when a certain frame of the weather environment animation carries lightning, the lightning weather environment appearing in the weather scene is determined; or the determination may be made according to the interaction of the player, when the player plays the game, the weather environment of the game scene may be set, and when the player sets the corresponding weather (rainy day, etc.), the weather environment also belongs to the lightning weather environment in the game scene.

It should be noted that the solution of the embodiment of the present application is not only directed to the special lightning effect, but also to all special effects (special light effect, etc.) with brightness change.

In a possible implementation manner, the lightning special effect rendered in the embodiment of the present application is a duplicate of a target lightning in a pre-acquired video, and the pre-acquired video may be derived from videos with target lightning in other game scenes, and may also be a real lightning video.

Specifically, the number of transmission frames per unit time (per second) of a previously acquired target video picture with a target lightning is generally 30FPS, and 60FPS is more preferable.

In one possible implementation, the luminance values on a video frame are determined by:

a 1: and aiming at each video frame, determining the brightness values of all pixel points in a lightning area and a lightning related area in the video frame.

In the embodiment of the application, the target video with the target lightning is processed by sampling according to a preset time interval to determine a plurality of video frame images, and the target video can be processed frame by directly utilizing the video frame importing function of the existing software (such as photoshop and the like).

Illustratively, sampling the target video at preset time intervals may be performed by a python script.

In a possible implementation manner, for each video frame image, range clipping needs to be performed on the video frame image, a lightning area included in each video frame image and a lightning association area associated with a target lightning are determined, a plurality of pixel points are determined at fixed sampling positions of each video frame image, and brightness values of the plurality of pixel points included in each fixed sampling position are determined.

In one possible embodiment, the fixed sampling position may be determined according to the distribution of pixel points (sparsity, pixel point color, etc.) in the lightning region and the lightning related region.

It should be noted that after the fixed sampling position is determined, for the determined video frame images, the determined brightness value is determined according to the pixel point at the fixed sampling position.

a 2: and determining the brightness value of each video frame according to the brightness value of each pixel point.

In the embodiment of the application, for each video frame, the brightness value of the video frame is determined according to the determined brightness value of each pixel point.

Specifically, the pixels may be cumulatively added according to RGB channels to determine a total number, and the total number may be determined as a brightness value on the video frame.

For example, by calculating the value of 76 on the R channel, 254 on the G channel, and 100 on the B channel, the brightness value of 430(76+254+100) on the video frame is determined.

In a possible embodiment, after the brightness values of the lightning of the target at the video frames corresponding to each sampling time are acquired, the corresponding relationship between the video frames and the brightness values may be directly stored together (for example, stored in a table), and the video frames and the brightness values are directly input to a stainer to set the animation of the lightning special effect according to the corresponding relationship between the video frames and the brightness values.

In one possible implementation, the presentation method further includes:

b 1: and generating a lightning brightness numerical value image according to the brightness value of the target lightning on the video frame corresponding to each sampling time.

It is worth noting that, in order to save the storage space of the terminal and improve the processing efficiency of the terminal, in the rendering process of the lightning special effect in the embodiment of the application, only the lightning brightness value image which represents the brightness value relation of the target lightning on the video frame corresponding to each sampling time is stored in the terminal.

In the embodiment of the present application, luminance values on each video frame need to be written into the lightning luminance value image as pixel points, and therefore normalization processing needs to be performed on each luminance value, and the luminance values are uniformly adjusted to the color interval [0, 255 ].

In one possible embodiment, a plurality of pixels are displayed in the lightning brightness numerical value image, and the plurality of pixels correspond to a plurality of video frames in a one-to-one mode; the brightness value of each pixel is used for representing the brightness value of the video frame corresponding to the pixel.

Specifically, for the lightning brightness value image, each pixel point in the image has its own setting position, and the brightness value corresponding to each video frame is written into the lightning brightness value image by the correspondence between the pixel point position and the video frame.

For example, the lightning luminance value image may be a TGA (default) image with a height of 1 and a width of n to the power of 2, and the luminance value corresponding to the first frame of video frame is written into the pixel point with coordinates of (1,1) in the lightning luminance value image, and so on until the luminance values corresponding to all the video frames are written into the lightning luminance value image.

Specifically, the lightning brightness value image may be an image with a height N and a width N, and the brightness value corresponding to the first frame of video frame is written into the pixel point with the coordinate of (1,1) in the lightning brightness value image, the brightness value corresponding to the N +1 th frame of video frame is written into the pixel point with the coordinate of (2,1) in the lightning brightness value image, and so on until the brightness values corresponding to all the video frames are written into the lightning brightness value image.

In this embodiment of the present application, in a manner that luminance values on video frames corresponding to respective sampling times are written into a lightning luminance numerical image, the step "inputting the luminance values of the lightning of the object on the video frames corresponding to the respective sampling times into a stainer that renders the lightning" includes:

c 1: inputting the lightning brightness numerical value image into a stainer rendering the lightning.

In the embodiment of the application, after the lightning brightness value image indicating the brightness value on the video frame corresponding to each sampling time is determined, the lightning brightness value image is directly input into the stainer, and the lightning brightness value image is read through the stainer according to the time node to perform brightness rendering on the lightning image.

In one possible embodiment, the step of inputting the brightness value of the lightning target on the video frame corresponding to each sampling time into a stainer for rendering the lightning so that the stainer outputs a plurality of lightning rendering images based on the brightness value on each video frame and the base lightning morphology image respectively comprises:

d 1: and inputting the brightness value of the lightning of the target on the video frame corresponding to each sampling time into a stainer for rendering the lightning special effect, and determining the brightness value on each video frame.

In the embodiment of the application, the brightness values of the determined target lightning on the video frames corresponding to the sampling time are input into a stainer for rendering the lightning special effect, and the brightness value on each video frame is determined according to the corresponding relation between the video frames and the brightness values.

d 2: for each video frame, determining an adjustment coefficient for adjusting the brightness of the base lightning morphology image based on a ratio between a brightness value on the video frame and an image brightness value of the base lightning morphology image.

In the embodiment of the present application, it is necessary to adjust the image brightness value of the base lightning shape image to be consistent with the brightness value of the corresponding video frame, so that a difference between the brightness value of the video frame and the image brightness value of the base lightning shape image may be determined first, and an adjustment coefficient that needs to perform brightness adjustment on the base lightning shape image may be determined according to the difference.

In one possible implementation, the adjustment coefficient may be a luminance value on the video frame.

In an embodiment of the application, the base lightning modality image is a lightning image with a fixed shape pre-stored in the stainer; or; the base lightning morphology image is generated according to the rendering morphology requirements of the lightning object each time the lightning object is rendered.

In particular, since in the embodiment of the present application, a characteristic that a lightning special effect changes with time is mainly focused, it is possible to realize that a base lightning image of a fixed shape is stored in a stainer, and it is sufficient to directly adjust the brightness of the base lightning image according to the brightness value when the lightning animation is generated.

In a possible embodiment, the fixed shape of the lightning in the base lightning image may be a lightning shape of a process in the presentation of historical lightning, or a fixed shape of the lightning shape determined from the lightning object in the video frame.

In another possible implementation, the base lightning morphology image is generated according to a rendering morphology requirement of the lightning special effect each time the lightning special effect is rendered, and the lightning morphology in the base lightning image needs to be determined according to the rendering requirement (lightning morphology requirement) each time the lightning special effect needs to be rendered.

Specifically, the rendering form requirement of the target lightning may be a lightning special effect form corresponding to a game operation performed by the target virtual character (the corresponding relationship between the lightning special effect form and the game operation is preset), and since the game operation performed by each target virtual character may be different, rendering may be performed according to the rendering requirement of the lightning special effect each time the lightning special effect is rendered.

d 3: for each video frame, adjusting an image brightness of the base lightning morphology image to a target brightness value based on the adjustment coefficient to determine the lightning rendered image.

In the embodiment of the application, the image brightness of the basic lightning form image is adjusted to the target brightness value according to the determined adjustment coefficient, and the basic lightning form image after the brightness is adjusted is determined to be a lightning rendering image.

In a possible embodiment, the luminance value corresponding to the video frame may be directly used as an adjustment coefficient to adjust the RGB channel value of each pixel in the base lightning shape image, where the specific adjustment manner may be determined according to an adjustment requirement, and the most direct adjustment manner is to directly multiply the luminance value to the RGB channel value of each pixel to adjust the luminance value of the base lightning shape image.

The corresponding relation between the RGB channel value and the brightness is as follows: the larger each value of the RGB channel is, the higher the brightness of the image is; conversely, the lower the brightness value of the image.

In a possible implementation mode, other parameters of the image can be adjusted according to the presentation requirement, for example, the transparency of the lightning rendering image needs to be set, and the transparency of the lightning rendering image can be adjusted by adjusting the adjustment coefficient on an alpha channel.

In the embodiment of the application, after a plurality of lightning rendering images with different brightness are determined, the sequence of the plurality of lightning rendering images needs to be determined according to the sequence of sampling time, so that the animation for rendering the lightning special effect is generated.

Specifically, the playing sequence of the lightning rendered image is determined by the following steps:

e 1: aiming at each lightning rendering image, determining the playing sequence of the lightning rendering image according to the size sequence of the target video frame in the sampling time of all video frames; the flash rendering image is generated according to the brightness value of the target video frame.

In the embodiment of the application, for each lightning rendering image, the playing sequence of the lightning rendering image generated according to the brightness value of the target video frame is determined according to the sequence of the sampling time of the target video frame in all the video frames.

For example, the target video frame is the third frame in the sampling process, and the playing sequence of the lightning rendered images generated according to the brightness values of the target video frame is also the third position, which is noteworthy that this way is for the case that multiple lightning rendered images are not played in a loop.

In a possible embodiment, in the case that multiple lightning rendered images are played in a loop, the playing order of the lightning rendered images can be determined by the following formula:

S＝N+M×(R-1)；

s is the playing sequence of the lightning rendering images corresponding to the target video frame; n is the size sequence of the target video frame in the sampling time of the partial video frame; m is the number of all video frames; r is the cycle number.

It should be noted that, for the scheme that the determination of the playing sequence of each lightning rendering image is directly determined for a plurality of lightning rendering images at the same time, the lightning rendering images can also be rendered in real time in the stainer according to the playing sequence of the video frames according to the advancing time in the game, in this way, the lightning brightness numerical value image representing the brightness value of the lightning of the target on the video frame corresponding to each sampling time is directly put into a stainer, the incremental time (deltatime) of a time node is used as a u channel of a basic lightning form image, 0 is used as a value of a v channel, the vector is connected to an image node of a lightning brightness numerical value image as UV, and an R channel (or a channel storing numerical values of other channels) of the image node is read and multiplied as a change numerical value to a basic color (base color) or a self-luminous color (emissive color) selected for the basic lightning form image in a stainer to obtain a lightning rendering image.

In the embodiment of the application, after the playing sequence of each lightning rendering image is determined, a lightning animation may be rendered in a game scene according to the playing sequence of each lightning rendering image, however, the brightness value of the target lightning on the video frame corresponding to each sampling time is intercepted from the target video, because the duration of the target video is limited, the number of the brightness values on the corresponding video frames determined according to the target video is also limited, and further, the playing time of the generated lightning rendering image is also limited, because the rendering times for the lightning special effects in different game scenes are different, the playing sequence and the playing times for a plurality of lightning rendering images need to be determined according to the playing times of the plurality of lightning rendering images and the rendering times of the lightning special effects.

Specifically, referring to fig. 2, fig. 2 is a flowchart of another method for presenting a special lightning effect in a game according to an embodiment of the present application. As shown in fig. 2, the step "sequentially rendering the lightning animation of the lightning special effect in the game scene according to each lightning rendering image based on the playing sequence of each lightning rendering image" includes:

s201, determining the preset presentation time of the lightning special effect in the game scene.

In the embodiment of the application, the presentation time of the lightning special effect can be determined according to different game scenes or different lightning special effect presentation modes.

For example, the presentation time of the lightning special effect in the weather environment is generally longer than that of the target virtual character in the game scene when the corresponding game operation is executed, and the presentation time of the specific lightning special effect can be specifically set according to the game configuration.

S202, detecting whether the presentation time of the lightning special effect is longer than the playing time of all lightning rendered images after the lightning rendered images are played.

In the embodiment of the present application, the playing time for playing the complete lightning rendered image may be determined according to the preset number of frames per second of the pictures.

For example, if the number of frames per second for transmission of a screen set in a game is 30FPS, if the determined lightning rendering images total 60, the time for playing all the lightning rendering images is 2 seconds.

And S203, if the sum is larger than the preset value, rendering the lightning animation of the lightning special effect in a game scene according to the playing sequence of each lightning rendering image in sequence, and rendering the lightning animation repeatedly until the total playing time of the rendered lightning animation reaches the presentation time.

In the embodiment of the application, if the fact that the time of the special lightning effect which needs to be presented in the scene of the game is longer than the playing time of the plurality of lightning rendering images which are all played is determined, the plurality of lightning rendering images need to be played circularly.

In a possible implementation manner, the multiple lightning rendering images can be played circularly according to the playing sequence of each lightning rendering image, after all the lightning rendering images are played, each lightning rendering image is played circularly from the beginning again until the total playing time of the lightning animations rendered reaches the rendering time of the lightning special effect in the game scene.

In another possible embodiment, the multiple lightning rendered images can be played circularly from a preset position (such as the position of a third lightning rendered image) according to the playing sequence of each lightning rendered image, the image nodes for each circulation can be different, specifically, circulation is performed from which lightning rendered image, which is related to the presentation effect of the lightning special effect, and specific setting can be performed according to the rendering requirement for the lightning special effect in the game scene.

In another possible implementation mode, under the condition that the lightning special effects cannot be completely presented in the game scene after the lightning rendering images are completely played, the lightning rendering images can be selected not to be played in a circulating mode, a preset scene rendering image can be filled directly after the last lightning rendering image to finish the presentation of the lightning special effects, the presentation form of the specific scene rendering image is related to the rendering requirements in the game scene, and the number of the lightning rendering images can be determined by the number of the images required for the presentation of the lightning special effects and the number of all the lightning rendering images.

For example, 2 seconds of lightning special effects need to be presented in a game scene, and according to game settings, if the frame rate in the game scene is 30FPS, 60 images are needed for presenting the 2 seconds of lightning special effects, and the number of lightning rendering images is 50, and if the other scene rendering images are used for filling the gaps of the lightning rendering images, the number of scene rendering images needed is at least 10.
