The invention discloses an animation generation method, device and system and a terminal. According to the invention, the rendering efficiency in running is improved through generating a static mesh of an animation model in advance, performance consumption brought about by dynamic skeletal animation is avoided, the rendering efficiency is improved, the performance on the mobile phone can be significantly improved especially when a lot of models of the same kind are used in a scene, and a problem of blocking caused by excessive skeletal animation models is solved. On the basis of the existing scheme, the static mesh is utilized to replace a skinned mesh on the skeletal animation model in running while fast editing of artists and animators is ensured to be facilitated, so that a lot of skeleton updating and skin calculation time is saved, the rendering efficiency is improved, and thus a problem of displaying a large number of animation models in one screen is solved.
