Abstract

Aspects of this disclosure provide a method where a normal map corresponding to a target water body region where a dynamic object is located in a next image frame can be acquired based on a water wave map corresponding to the target water body region where the dynamic object is located in a current image frame, and a water wave effect on the target water body region where the dynamic object is located in the next image frame is rendered according to the normal map. On the one hand, through iterative rendering frame by frame, a realistic water wave animation effect can be simulated to make the water surface interaction very natural, providing users with immersive experience. Further, because the water wave rendering is performed only on the target water body region, the complexity is lowered, and the calculation amount is reduced, to better adapt to a mobile terminal application.
