The following describes in detail the steps of the method for rendering weather in a virtual environment.

In step S110, current time data in the virtual scene is acquired, and format conversion processing is performed on the current time data to obtain conversion time data.

In an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, the virtual scene may be any virtual scene such as a live game, a virtual live broadcast, MV production, and a virtual reality show, and this exemplary embodiment is not particularly limited to this.

The current time data may be time data of a system time block. And, the current time data may be time data in time, minute, second format.

Further, the current time data may be subjected to a format conversion process.

Specifically, the format conversion process may be converting the current time data in the time, minute, and second format into conversion time data in units of hours. In addition, the time data may also be converted into time data in other formats according to actual requirements, which is not particularly limited in this exemplary embodiment.

In step S120, scene weather data for rendering the virtual scene is obtained, and attribute rendering processing is performed on the scene weather data according to the conversion time data to obtain the virtual weather scene in the virtual scene.

In exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure, scene weather data for rendering a virtual scene may also be obtained.

In an alternative embodiment, the scene weather data includes: virtual weather data and virtual light color data.

Further, the virtual weather data and the virtual light color data may also include other data, respectively.

In an alternative embodiment, the virtual weather data comprises: atmospheric fog data and volumetric cloud data.

Specifically, the atmospheric fog data may include the concentration, range, and color of the atmospheric fog, and may also include other data, which is not limited in this exemplary embodiment.

The volume cloud data may include data such as density, color, and movement speed of the volume cloud, and may also include other data, which is not particularly limited in this exemplary embodiment.

It should be noted that the virtual weather data may include rain data corresponding to raining and other weather-related data in any real scene, besides the atmospheric fog data and the volume cloud data, and this exemplary embodiment is not particularly limited in this respect.

In another alternative embodiment, the virtual light color data comprises: background maps, sky light source data, and sunlight data.

The background map may include color and brightness of an HDRI (High-Dynamic Range image) background map, the sky-light source data may include data of illuminance, color temperature, shadow softness, and the like of skyilight, and the sunlight data may include data of illuminance, color temperature, color value, shadow softness, position, and the like of sunlight. The skylight data may be associated with virtual light color data or virtual weather data, which is not limited in this exemplary embodiment.

The virtual light color data may also include other data that affects light color, which is the same as that of the real scene, and the background map, the sky light source data, and the sunlight data may also include other data, which is not limited in this exemplary embodiment.

After the scene weather data is obtained, attribute rendering processing can be further performed on the scene weather data according to the conversion time data.

In an alternative embodiment, fig. 2 shows a flow diagram of a method of attribute rendering processing, as shown in fig. 2, the method at least comprising the steps of: in step S210, a weather correspondence between the conversion time data and the virtual weather data is obtained, and a light color correspondence between the conversion time data and the virtual light color data is obtained.

The weather correspondence may be data reflecting a change in the virtual weather data with the conversion time data. Moreover, the weather corresponding relationship may be in a form of a change curve between the virtual weather data and the conversion time data, or in a form of an algorithm between the virtual weather data and the conversion time data, which is not particularly limited in this exemplary embodiment.

The light color correspondence may be data reflecting a change in the virtual light color data with the conversion time data. The light color corresponding relationship may be in the form of a variation curve between the virtual light color data and the conversion time data, or in the form of an algorithm between the virtual light color data and the conversion time data, which is not limited in this exemplary embodiment.

It should be noted that, since the virtual weather data includes different types of data such as atmospheric fog data and volume cloud data, the weather correspondence relationship may include a plurality of weather correspondence relationships, that is, one weather correspondence relationship may reflect a relationship between one type of virtual weather data and conversion time data, and may also reflect the same relationship between a plurality of types of virtual weather data and conversion time data, which is not particularly limited in this exemplary embodiment.

In the updating step, the atmospheric fog data is taken as an example, and the atmospheric fog data may further include various data of atmospheric fog concentration, range and color, so that the weather correspondence relationship may be deepened to represent the relationship between one attribute in one virtual weather data and the conversion time data, and thus, the weather correspondence relationship between different attributes in one virtual data and the conversion time data may be different.

Correspondingly, since the virtual light color data includes different types of data such as a background map, skylight data, sunlight data, and the like, the light color corresponding relationship may include a plurality of virtual light color data, that is, one light color corresponding relationship may reflect a relationship between one virtual light color data and the conversion time data, and may also reflect the same relationship between a plurality of virtual light color data and the conversion time data, which is not limited in this exemplary embodiment.

In the updating step, the SkyLight data may further include various data of the illuminance, the color temperature, and the shadow softness of skyilight, so that the light color correspondence relationship may be further developed to represent a relationship between one attribute in one virtual light color data and the conversion time data, and thus, light color correspondence relationships between different attributes in one virtual data and the conversion time data may be different.

In step S220, an attribute rendering process is performed according to the conversion time data, the weather correspondence and the light color correspondence to obtain a virtual weather scene.

After the weather corresponding relationship of the virtual weather data of the virtual scene to be rendered and the light color corresponding relationship of the virtual light color data of the virtual scene to be rendered are obtained, the time data, the weather corresponding relationship and the light color corresponding relationship can be converted to perform attribute rendering processing to obtain the virtual weather scene.

Specifically, the attribute rendering processing may be performed by inputting the current conversion time data into the weather corresponding relationship to obtain a current value of the virtual weather data, and inputting the current conversion time data into the light color corresponding relationship to obtain a current value of the virtual light color data, so as to render the virtual weather scene by using the current value of the virtual weather data and the current value of the virtual light color data.

In the exemplary embodiment, the virtual weather scene is rendered by converting the time data, the weather corresponding relationship and the light color corresponding relationship, the weather effect of the virtual scene can be changed in real time, the intelligent degree and the automation degree are higher, various virtual weather effects can be created, various visual feelings are provided, and the user experience is richer.

It should be noted that, when the weather in the virtual environment is rendered by the method of steps S110-S120, the virtual scene is a scene linked with the current time data, so as to render a virtual weather scene consistent with the real scene.

In addition, compared with the existing game, the weather rendering method has higher richness. The weather rendering of the existing game focuses more on the game experience of the player, so that two types of weather rendering with large differentiation in the night and the daytime are emphasized, further fine-grained and deepened rendering cannot be achieved in the aspect of weather rendering, and the sensory experience of the player in the game is improved.

However, this is not limited to the application of the weather rendering method to weather rendering scenes in a game. When the method is applied to the weather rendering of the game, the richness of the weather rendering can be improved, and the fidelity of a game scene and the game experience of a player can be improved in the aspect of sensory experience.

After the virtual weather scene is rendered, the virtual weather scene can be used for influencing the display of the entity light source so as to achieve the effect of virtual combination.

In an alternative embodiment, fig. 3 shows a flow chart of a method for adjusting physical light source data, and as shown in fig. 3, the method at least includes the following steps: in step S310, target color value data in the scene weather data is acquired, and protocol data conversion is performed on the target color value data to obtain target protocol data.

The data source of the target color value data can be virtual weather data in scene weather data. The target color value data may be a sunlight color value in sunlight data in the virtual weather data. In addition, other color value data may be set in the target color value data according to actual conditions and requirements, which is not particularly limited in the present exemplary embodiment.

Further, the target color value data may be converted into target protocol data using a DMX data processing module.

In an alternative embodiment, the target protocol data includes: DMX512 protocol data.

Among them, DMX512 (Digital Multiple X512) protocol is a data dimming protocol proposed by american stage lighting association (USITT), which provides a protocol standard for communication between a light controller and a luminaire device, and is proposed in 1990, so the protocol is called as usittmx 512 (1990). The proposed protocol provides a good standard for controlling lighting devices using digital signals.

DMX512 is a digital dimming protocol, can carry out digital control to dimmers and other control equipment in places such as stages, theaters, studios and the like by applying the digital dimming protocol, is suitable for a one-point multi-point master-slave control system, adopts a multi-point bus structure in an interconnection form, does not have the problem of information channel blockage, and has simple connection and high reliability.

In addition, other ways to convert the target color value data into other protocol data may also be used, and this exemplary embodiment is not particularly limited in this respect.

It is noted that the target protocol data may be composed of three color channels of red (R), green (G), and blue (B).

In step S320, the entity light source data corresponding to the virtual scene is adjusted by using the target protocol data.

After the converted target protocol data is obtained, the entity light source data of the space where the virtual scene is located can be adjusted by using the target protocol data.

Since the target protocol data is composed of R, G, B three color channels and the illumination of the entity light source data also depends on R, G, B three color channels, the values of the three color channels of the entity light source data R, G, B can be adjusted to be the same as the values of the three color channels of R, G, B of the target protocol data, thereby achieving the adjustment of the entity light source data.

In the exemplary embodiment, the scene weather data is used to adjust the entity light source data corresponding to the virtual scene, so that the light color of the virtual scene is combined with the light color of the real scene, and the visual perception of the audience is more uniform and vivid.

The following describes a method for rendering weather in a virtual environment in the embodiment of the present disclosure in detail with reference to an application scenario.

Fig. 4 is a diagram of a system framework of a weather rendering method in a virtual environment in an application scenario, where as shown in fig. 4, the system framework includes three parts, namely a system time module, a weather system processing module, and a DMX data processing module.

In step S410, the current system time is acquired in real time.

The virtual scene may be any virtual scene such as live game, live virtual broadcast, MV production, and virtual reality performance, which is not limited in this exemplary embodiment.

When the virtual scene is a virtual live broadcast scene, the anchor can be in front of the green screen, and the process is entered by clicking the virtual broadcast of the broadcast background. Further, a UE (universal Engine) virtual background is selected to preview the effect after keying in real time. Then, the angle and other parameters of the camera are adjusted to click the playing control to complete the virtual playing.

Further, the current time data may be subjected to a format conversion process.

In step S420, the weather system processing module.

The weather system processing module acquires scene weather data for rendering the virtual scene, and changes the attributes of the weather and the light color of the virtual scene along with the change of the time value in a blueprint writing mode.

Wherein the scene weather data comprises: virtual weather data and virtual light color data.

In one aspect, the virtual weather data may include: atmospheric fog data and volumetric cloud data.

Specifically, the atmospheric fog data may include the concentration, range, and color of the atmospheric fog, and may also include other data, which is not particularly limited in the present exemplary embodiment.

In another aspect, the virtual light color data may include: background maps, sky light source data, and sunlight data.

The background map may include color, brightness, etc. of the HDRI background map, the sky-light-source data may include illuminance, color temperature, shadow softness, etc. of skyilight, and the sunlight data may include illuminance, color temperature, color value, shadow softness, location, etc. of sunlight. The virtual light color data may also include other data that affects light color, which is the same as that of the real scene, and the background map, the sky light source data, and the sunlight data may also include other data, which is not limited in this exemplary embodiment.

Furthermore, the weather system processing module presets a time and a change curve and an algorithm of the attribute, and along with the lapse of time, the photochromic attribute of the virtual scene changes in a variety of ways, and finally different weather effects are created.

For example, at 6 pm, the sun is west, the color of light turns golden, and the sky shows a scene of sunset at the lower mountain.

And acquiring a weather corresponding relation between the conversion time data and the virtual weather data, and acquiring a photochromic corresponding relation between the conversion time data and the virtual photochromic data.

Further, performing attribute rendering processing according to the conversion time data, the weather corresponding relation and the light color corresponding relation to obtain a virtual weather scene.

Specifically, the attribute rendering processing may be performed by inputting the current conversion time data into the weather corresponding relationship to obtain a current value of the virtual weather data, and inputting the current conversion time data into the photochromic corresponding relationship to obtain a current value of the virtual photochromic data, so as to render the virtual weather scene by using the current value of the virtual weather data and the current value of the virtual photochromic data.

In step S430, the DMX data processing module.

The DMX data processing module obtains color values of light colors at different times in the virtual scene, i.e., target color value data.

Specifically, the target protocol data may include: DMX512 protocol data.

In step S440, the studio hall lantern color Wen Zhaodu is changed.

And outputting the target protocol data to a lighting system of the real studio, so that the lighting of the studio is synchronously matched with the weather and the light color of the virtual scene, and the visual unification of the virtual scene is achieved.

Specifically, the entity light source data corresponding to the virtual scene is adjusted by using the target protocol data.

The entity light source data may include color temperature and illuminance, and may also include other data, which is not particularly limited in this exemplary embodiment.

Specifically, the color temperature is a unit of measure indicating that a color component is contained in the light. Theoretically, the black body temperature refers to the color that an absolute black body would appear after warming from absolute zero (-273 ℃). After being heated, the black body gradually turns from black to red, turns yellow and becomes white, and finally emits blue light. When heated to a certain temperature, the light emitted by a black body contains spectral components, referred to as the color temperature at that temperature, measured in "K" (kelvin).

A certain light source emits light having the same spectral composition as that of light emitted from a black body at a certain temperature, and is called a certain K color temperature. If the color of the light emitted by a 100W bulb is the same as the absolute black body at 2527 c, then the color temperature of the light emitted by this bulb is: (2527 + 273) K =2800K.

In a virtual live broadcast scene, when the target protocol data is characterized as warm tone, the entity light source data is also adjusted to be warm tone, so that the occurrence of the situation of color distortion of a main broadcast face is avoided.

Illumination intensity is a physical term that refers to the luminous flux of visible light received per unit area. Abbreviated to illuminance, in Lux or lx. Indicating the amount of illumination and the degree to which the surface area of the object is illuminated. According to the weather rendering method in the virtual environment under the application scene, attribute rendering processing is carried out on scene weather data according to conversion time data to obtain a virtual weather scene in the virtual scene, the weather effect of the virtual scene can be changed in real time, the problem of virtual scene rigid caused by single setting of weather and light color in the existing virtual scene is solved, the flexibility of weather rendering is improved, the intelligentization and automation degree of the weather rendering are improved, various virtual weather effects can be created by using various scene weather data, diversified visual feelings are provided, the user experience is enriched, and the user experience is optimized.
