US 10,471,351 B1 · Distributed determination of scene information

Abstract

Techniques for distributed determination of scene information are described herein. Scene information may include, for example, information associated with geometries, lighting, colors, texture, shading, shadows, audio, camera attributes, and other information associated with a scene. A first portion of scene information may, for example, be determined by one or more first components, while a second portion of scene information may, for example, be determined by one or more second components. In some cases, at least part of the first portion of scene information may be provided from the one or more first components to the one or more second components. The one or more second components may use the at least part of the first portion of scene information in combination with at least part of the second portion of scene information to generate at least part of a resulting image and/or resulting audio associated with the scene.

Dependent claims

A method comprising:

receiving first data that was pre-determined by applying a first portion of lighting information to a first portion of scene geometries associated with one or more objects not controlled by a player, wherein the first portion of the lighting information is associated with one or more light sources not controlled by the player;
determining a second portion of the scene geometries associated with one or more objects controlled by the player;
adjusting the first data based, at least in part, on the second portion of the scene geometries to generate second data;
and
applying the first portion of the lighting information and a second portion of the lighting information to the second data, wherein the second portion of the lighting information is associated with one or more light sources controlled by the player.

A system comprising:

one or more processors
one or more memories to store a set of instructions, which if executed by the one or more processors, causes the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:
receiving first data that was pre-determined by applying a first portion of lighting information to a first portion of scene geometries associated with one or more objects not controlled by a player, wherein the first portion of the lighting information is associated with one or more light sources not controlled by the player;
determining a second portion of the scene geometries associated with one or more objects controlled by the player;
adjusting the first data based, at least in part, on the second portion of the scene geometries to generate second data;
and
applying the first portion of the lighting information and a second portion of the lighting information to the second data, wherein the second portion of the lighting information is associated with one or more light sources controlled by the player.
