Embodiment 1

[0070] The present invention discloses a slightly more complex crowd simulation scheme, which absorbs part of the characteristics of massive, and based on crowdMaker's particle simulation scheme, improves and produces a cheap, easy-to-control crowd simulation method and plug-in that can meet slightly complex requirements.

[0071] This embodiment introduces the method of the present invention by taking the generation of a large-scale crowd as an example. The present invention can of course be used to generate groups of animals, water flow, vehicle flow and the like.

[0072] see figure 1 , the generation method of large-scale group in three-dimensional animation production of the present invention, described method comprises the following steps:

[0073] [Step A] First create a Nurbs plane with flattened uv, either manually or with a plug-in.

[0074] [Step B] Create a particle emitter on the plane and draw the generated area. If you click the play button at this time, you wi...

Abstract

The invention discloses a method for producing large-scale groups in a three-dimensional animation production process, which comprises the following steps: A, creating a plane; B, creating a particle emitter on the plane, wherein the particle emitter is used for generating a plurality of particles and each particle represents an individual in the groups; C, drawing a generating area of the particles, wherein the particles appear in the area according to set parameters; D, drawing a path of the particles, wherein the particles move according to the set drawn path; E, repeating the steps B, C and D, and creating a plurality of groups of crowds on the plane created by the step A; and F, randomly substituting a loop animation of group movement with the particles and adjusting the parameters according to needs. The method for producing the large-scale groups in the three-dimensional animation production process can adjust the large-scale groups which are high in degree of realism and can deal with complicated scenes.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of three-dimensional animation design, and relates to a method for producing three-dimensional animation, in particular to a method for generating large-scale groups in three-dimensional animation production; in addition, the present invention also relates to a system for generating large-scale groups in three-dimensional animation production . Background technique [0002] In the process of 3D film production, the solution for large-scale passerby group animation has always been complex and high-end, such as the ghost army in the Lord of the Rings trilogy, their behavior is realized through massive software simulation. On the common maya platform, there is only a crowdmaker plug-in based on particle expressions that makes some simple explorations in this area. [0003] For most production teams, massive is too high-end and complex and rarely has access to it. On the Maya platform, crowdMaker is too simple...
