(Shanghai, China, 16 July 2020) Huawei HMS Core. Sparkle Innovation Salon held in Shanghai. Focusing on the theme of “High-quality games · Virtual and reality Dialogue”, the salon communicated with many game industry partners on Graphics rendering, network acceleration, game innovation and other topics, discussed the direction of future game innovation, and introduced the open ability of HMS Core in Graphics, System and other fields. To help game developers create high-quality and innovative applications and improve game experience.
Wang Yue, director of HMS Core Platform Department of Huawei Consumer Business, introduced the overall capabilities of HMS Core 5.0 at the meeting. He said that HMS Core 5.0 focuses on the developer scene, and further opens huawei’s high-quality core-end-cloud hardware and software capabilities to global developers. HMS Core 5.0 is targeted at the game field and can meet the needs of game developers and publishers in five subcategories, including basic development, network acceleration, game innovation, operational realization and game security, helping game developers to innovate their experience.
The industry’s leading graphics rendering technology helps games quickly build extraordinary 3D visual experiences
Graphics rendering is indispensable in game development. At the conference, senior graphics technical experts of China Soft introduced Scene Kit, a graphics engine service provided by HMS Core. As a high-performance, low-power, cross-platform graphics rendering engine, it helps developers edit, manipulate and render 3D resources and optimize rendering effects. With the industry’s cutting-edge features: For example, support reverse dynamic bone animation technology, quickly build smooth animation; Truly restore the collision, fall, rotation and other effects of 3D models, provide post-processing effects such as flood light, depth of field, motion blur, and present realistic visual effects and immersive experience for the game.
In addition to The Graphics engine service (Scene Kit), Computer Graphics Kit (CG Kit for short) introduced by Haisi Graphics ecology experts excavates Vulkan extreme rendering capability for developers. Developers can optimize engine rendering effect and improve picture rendering efficiency. Finally, the game will be launched on Huawei platform with high picture quality, high frame rate and high runtime, comprehensively improving the game experience. CG Kit uses graphics technology to enable developers to add end-to-end graphics algorithms such as PBR materials, anti-aliasing, volume clouds, AND DLSS to provide more immersive 3D graphics rendering for mobile games.
Huabin Ling, technical director of Cocos Creator 3D, shared the theme of “How to create an efficient and controllable 3D game development experience”. Cocos Creator works in full cooperation with HMS Core on mobile games, especially at the technical level, integrating with CG Kit underlying algorithms to release greater graphics rendering performance based on Huawei chips and devices, he said.
As the leader of Domestic Internet going abroad, APUS content and game products have cooperated with HMS platform. Wang Mingyang, deputy general manager of APUS Zhuhai Branch, said at the meeting: Through CG Kit, we can see huawei’s vision and accumulation in the field of technology. It is believed that a number of technologies provided by Huawei CG Kit will greatly reduce the technical difficulty of mobile game development, help developers produce high-quality content and meet the diversified needs of users.
Open solutions to connect and communicate capabilities to speed up the experience of creating a game network
For modern game applications, fast, real-time and stable network performance is essential. Cao Zhen, senior protocol technology expert, said that Nearby Service of HMS Core can easily realize App to App direct P2P communication, greatly reduce the difficulty of network development, and help near-field game interaction; Wireless Kit optimizes game smoothness and reduces lag through leading 5G slicing and WiFi low-latency solutions, creating a smooth and enjoyable game experience with low latency and continuous Internet connection for users. At the same time, hQUIC for developers to provide HTTP3.0 protocol capabilities, through QUIC to achieve high throughput and low latency; Based on Huawei’s various intelligent congestion control algorithms, it provides end-to-end cloud dual-terminal acceleration, which can significantly improve the efficiency of in-game page loading and resource update downloading.
Not only does HMS Core help games push the boundaries of imagination
“Games are a virtual world, but there is real value in simulating and creating in a virtual world.” Liu Hao, the general director of minitarworld publishing, said that based on the needs of minitarworld’s huge content owners, the game innovation can further expand the imagination of the boundary. For example, try the ability provided by Huawei AR Engine to match model characters in Mini World with user actions in real time. And support the recording of action data, to achieve the most portable action recording tool, while regaining the output of the game UCG content.
What other ways can AR make games more appealing to users? During the discussion of this salon, many innovative ideas were put forward. For example, the game is connected to AR Engine, and the virtual 3D model is used to cover the real handwork with AR technology, so as to realize online AR dressing, makeup, hair color change, dynamic expression, etc. In addition to AR Engine, developers can also integrate Nearby Service, which can embed NFC chips in games and trigger interactive scenes with mobile apps. Game voice system/chat system can integrate machine learning services (ML Kit), realizing the function of in-game voice to multi-language and multi-language translation, solving the language barrier of communication between different players from all over the world, helping developers improve user experience.
In addition to the open capabilities in the fields of Graphics and System, HMS Core also provides corresponding open capabilities in operational realization and game security, such as advertising services, analysis services, security detection services, etc., to meet the diversified needs of more game developers and publishers. Join hands with game industry partners to create a virtual and realistic game world for users.
