Virtual haircut interpolation and tweening animation producing method

Abstract

The invention discloses a virtual haircut interpolation and tweening animation producing method. The method includes a first step of inputting and pre-processing haircut model data, a second step of obtaining many-to-many hair corresponding relationshipsamong multiple haircut models and corresponding weights by inputting haircut model hair quality transmission problem, a third step of obtaining hair cluster and representative hair from top to bottom by clustering the input haircut model and constructing hierarchical structure, and a fourth step of obtaining a new haircut model result after interpolation by expanding the binary haircut tweening to multiple input haircut models and ensuring high efficiency. The method is applied to a virtual haircut geometry object which is constructed by taking a three-dimensional hairline curve as a basic unit and widely applied in the industry, the method can conduct the interpolation on a plurality of different input haircut objects so as to combine a new haircut at the middle moment, and can be applied to aspects such as auxiliary design combination of virtual role haircuts and production of tweening role animation in the fields such as digital media.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a virtual character modeling and image editing method in the field of digital media, in particular to a virtual character hairstyle modeling and editing method. Background technique [0002] The relevant technical background of the present invention is briefly described as follows: [0003] 1. Hairstyle modeling of virtual characters [0004] Although there are already many softwares in the industry that can assist creators to complete manual virtual hairstyle modeling work, they are often extremely complicated and time-consuming, requiring skilled skills and complicated manual operations, which will greatly extend the creative cycle of the product and cost overhead (WARD, K., BERTAILS, F., KIM, T.-Y., MARSCHNER, S.R., CANI, M.-P., AND LIN, M.C. 2007. Asurvey on hair modeling: styling, simulation, and rendering. IEEE Transactions on Visualization and Computer Graphics 13, 2, 213–234.). So on this basis, some existing methods...

But their result is a general image editing method that does not take into account the special characteristics of human hairstyles themselves, and often fails to maintain the visual naturalness and physical plausibility of hairstyles
