Moreover, this ray tracing technology adopts a hybrid rendering method, which can simultaneously achieve a variety of light rendering effects: refraction, shadow, reflection, and the refraction effect of transparent body light that requires great computing power.
The current 3D live wallpapers in the mobile industry are mainly offline renderings, which are pre-made MP4 videos. The dynamic presentation of wallpaper is done by playing pre-recorded videos, which lacks interaction with mobile phone users, and the effect is not realistic enough.
This time, the light-chasing wallpaper is rendered in real-time. With the benefit of gyroscope and light-chasing technology, users can experience the changes of light and shadow on the wallpaper brought by different gestures by interacting with the screen, rotating the mobile phone, etc.
The light-chasing live wallpaper app is planned to be launched in the second half of 2022. Users can download it in the OPPO app store and enable the light-chasing function on certain models. At the same time, the wallpaper function will also be launched on the OPPO open platform in the form of SDK, providing developers, artists, designers, etc. with free creation.
The SDK will support self-designed light-chasing wallpapers, light source design, light effect customization, and other gameplay. Ray-tracing 3D live wallpaper is one of OPPO’s many attempts to implement ray-tracing technology, and it will also cover multiple directions of games and non-games in the future.
Furthermore, GDC is the world’s largest annual professional conference and exhibition for game developers, providing a platform for game developers to exchange technologies and gain inspiration.
