Systems and methods of rendering effects during gameplay

A computing system comprising:

• at least one processor;
• and
• a non-transitory memory storing instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the computing system to perform a method for rendering effects on a screen of a computing device during gameplay of a computer game,
• the method comprising:
• receiving a user selection of an effect to be applied during the gameplay;
• initiating a framework with which to apply the effect during the gameplay;
• determining, through the framework, scenes during the gameplay to apply the effect;
• determining, through the framework, graphical elements in the scenes that correspond to non-user interface elements;
• and
• applying, through the framework, the effect to the graphical elements;
• wherein determining the scenes during the gameplay to apply the effect comprises:
• detecting at least one texture depicted in the scenes during the gameplay,
• determining a frame signature based on a call sequence, or
• determining whether a texture value is within a texture value range;
• wherein the at least one texture is detected based on a texture scanning technique using a graphics debugging tool, and wherein the graphical debugging tool associates the at least one texture to a category associated with a game engine.
