Abstract

A post-processing special effect production system includes a visual operation panel and a resource file subsystem. The visual operation panel is configured to, in response to an operation instruction triggered by a user, perform a construction operation of a post-processing special effect component. The construction operation includes a node selection, an inter-node connection and a node parameter configuration that are performed for a related target node in the post-processing special effect component. The resource file subsystem is configured to provide the visual operation panel with a node-related file required by a construction of the post-processing special effect component, and receive and store a component resource file submitted by the visual operation panel relative to the post-processing special effect component.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A post-processing effect production system, comprising:
a visual operation panel configured to, in response to an operation instruction triggered by a user, perform a construction operation of a post-processing effect component, wherein the construction operation comprises a node selection, an inter-node connection and a node parameter configuration that are performed for a related target node in the post-processing effect component;
a resource file subsystem configured to provide the visual operation panel with a node-related file required by a construction of the post-processing effect component, and receive and store a component resource file submitted by the visual operation panel relative to the post-processing effect component; and
an effect rendering engine configured to, when a calling condition of the post-processing effect component is satisfied, reference an associated component resource file from the resource file subsystem to constitute a scene component of the post-processing effect component and render post-processing effect through the scene component.

2. The system according to claim 1 , wherein the calling condition is that a current determination object during an effect component determination, after an augmented reality (AR) effect is started, is the post-processing effect component.

3. The system according to claim 1 , wherein the visual operation panel comprises:
a first receiving module configured to receive a node adding operation, wherein the node adding operation is to select a node adding option from a menu list displayed on a component production interface;
a first display module configured to display a node menu list, wherein the node menu list comprises at least one node name of at least one created post-processing node;
a second receiving module configured to receive a node selection operation, wherein the node selection operation is to select a target node name of a target node from the node menu list; and
a second display module configured to display the target node on the component production interface, wherein the target node comprises at least one node connection port,
wherein the component production interface is displayed in a first set region of a screen interface.

4. The system according to claim 3 , wherein the target node is displayed on the component production interface as a single atomic node; or
the target node is displayed on the component production interface as a combined node constituted in a form of a node topological structure, wherein the combined node comprises at least two atomic nodes, and a related node connection line.

5. The system according to claim 3 , wherein the second display module is specifically configured to:
access the resource file subsystem, and search for a node-related file corresponding to the target node through the target node name; and
display the target node in a set node form on the component production interface through the node-related file,
wherein the node-related file comprises a node programming file and a node parameter configuration file; or the node-related file comprises a node programming file, a node parameter configuration file, and a node connection topology file.

6. The system according to claim 1 , wherein the visual operation panel further comprises:
a third receiving module configured to receive a node connection operation, wherein the node connection operation is to drag a cursor from a first node connection port of a first node to a second node connection port of a second node, and the first node and the second node are selected from target nodes displayed on a component production interface; and
a third display module configured to display a node connection line between the first node connection port and the second node connection port.

7. The system according to claim 1 , wherein the visual operation panel further comprises:
a fourth receiving module configured to receive a node configuration operation, wherein the node configuration operation is to select any to-be-configured node from displayed target nodes; and
a fourth display module configured to display, in a node parameter configuration panel, each parameter configuration item corresponding to the any to-be-configured node so that the user implements a parameter configuration of the any to-be-configured node by editing the each parameter configuration item,
wherein the node parameter configuration panel is displayed in a second set region of a screen interface.

8. The system according to claim 1 , wherein the visual operation panel further comprises:
a fifth receiving module configured to receive a production submission operation triggered by the user; and
a submission response module configured to take a node topological structure constructed and formed on a component production interface, as a produced post-processing effect component, and submit a corresponding component resource file to the resource file subsystem.

9. The system according to claim 8 , wherein the submission response module is specifically configured to:
acquire the node topological structure constructed and formed on the component production interface, and take the node topological structure as the post-processing effect component currently produced; and
summarize node production information corresponding to each target node in the node topological structure, take the node production information as the component resource file of the post-processing effect component, and submit the component resource file to the resource file subsystem.

10. The system according to claim 8 , wherein the resource file subsystem is configured to:
name and store the component resource file according to a set naming format; and
the resource file subsystem is further configured to:
take a file name of the component resource file as a node name of a newly-constructed combined node to update a node menu list.

11. The system according to claim 1 , wherein the resource file subsystem comprises:
a node resource file of each atomic node that has been created, a node resource file of each combined node that has been created, a node connection topology file of each combined node that has been created, and the component resource file of the post-processing effect component that has been produced,
