A method including generating a virtual space image for displaying on a head mounted display (HMD). The method further includes acquiring a rotational direction and a rotational speed of the HMD. The method further includes subjecting the virtual space image to blurring processing based on the rotational direction and the rotational speed, the blurring processing being performed on end regions of the virtual space image on both sides of the virtual space image in a direction corresponding to the rotational direction, a size of the end regions corresponding to the rotational speed, and an intensity of blurring of the end regions corresponding to the rotational speed.

In accordance with an embodiment, a method includes obtaining render instructions and identifying a purpose of the render instructions; in response to the render instructions being used to obtain a plurality of image frames and the plurality of image frames comprising special effect textures: selecting two adjacent image frames from the plurality of image frames, and identifying a similarity between special effect textures of the two adjacent image frames; and in response to the similarity meeting a condition, using a special effect texture of a latter image frame in the two adjacent image frames as a special effect texture of a next frame of image of the two adjacent image frames.

This application relates to a method for controlling a virtual character performed by a computer device, the method including: displaying at least a portion of a target virtual character in a virtual scene, the target virtual character being bound with basic bones and deformed bones; triggering the character action of the target virtual character in the virtual scene; when the character action comprises a character movement, controlling the target virtual character to implement the character movement in the virtual scene through a movement of a basic bone associated with the character movement; and when the character action comprises a local character deformation, controlling the target virtual character to implement the local character deformation in the virtual scene through a deformation of a deformed bone associated with the local character deformation.

A method of forming a volumetric effect on a game map of a video game is provided. In the method, a variable density volume of the game map is determined based on a mesh of the game map and a bounding box. The variable density volume includes the volumetric effect. The variable density volume is sliced into a plurality of texture layers. Each of the plurality of texture layers includes information associated with at least one of the volumetric effect or the mesh. An interaction between a virtual object on the game map and the volumetric effect is determined based on movement of the virtual object. The volumetric effect is rendered based on a cut out of the virtual object in the variable density volume and the determined interaction.

A virtual environment (e.g., a game environment) is navigable by a user providing user input. The virtual environment is subject to one or more lighting effects from one or more virtual environment light sources therein. A view of the virtual environment is generated in connection with a virtual camera, with that view including at least a portion of a virtual object. The virtual object is defined in connection with an object model. Generation of the view includes: calculating color contributions for sections into which an image obtained from the virtual camera is partitioned; creating a composite image by blending (e.g., additively blending) the calculated color contributions onto the object model using an object mask, the object mask defining different effects to be applied to different parts of the virtual object; and integrating the created composite image in the view of the virtual environment.

A prop special effect display method includes controlling a first virtual object in a virtual scene to launch a projectile associated with a virtual prop in response to receiving a launching operation for the virtual prop. The method further includes, in response to the projectile hitting a target object in the virtual scene, determining a scaling ratio of a special effect of the virtual prop based on a distance between the first virtual object and the target object. The scaling ratio of the special effect is positively correlated with the distance, and the special effect includes at least one of a video or audio output and the scaling ratio comprises a display size or a volume. The method further includes playing the special effect of the virtual prop based on the scaling ratio of the special effect.

As understood herein, not all objects in a computer game are of equal priority. Given this recognition, present principles apply a range of spatial and temporal resolutions to various objects in the same game depending on the priority of the objects in the game.

Systems and methods of rendering effects are described herein. A computing device can receive a user selection of an effect to be applied during gameplay of a computer game. The computing device can initiate a framework with which to apply the effect during the gameplay. The computing device can determine scenes during the gameplay to apply the effect through the framework. The computing device can determine graphical elements in the scenes that correspond to non-user interface elements through the framework. The computing system can apply the effect to the graphical elements through the framework.
