Expression resource loading method and device and electronic equipment

Abstract

The invention provides an expression resource loading method and device and electronic equipment. The method comprises the steps of obtaining expression resources of a virtual character in a target animation, wherein the facial expression of the virtual character is formed by combining at least one expression mixed shape; determining an expression mixing shape needing to be loaded from the expression resources according to the influence degree of the expression mixing shape in the facial expression of the virtual character on the picture of the target animation; and loading the expression mixing shape determined from the expression resources. In the mode, according to the influence degree of the expression mixing shape on the picture of the target animation, the expression mixing shape is selectively loaded, only the expression mixing shape which greatly influences the picture quality of the target animation can be loaded, and the expression mixing shape which has little influence on the picture of the target animation does not need to be loaded; while the animation picture playing effect is ensured, the consumption of memory resources and computing resources of equipment is reduced, and the realization of real-time rendering of high-quality facial expressions is facilitated.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of resource processing, in particular to a method, device and electronic equipment for loading emoticon resources. Background technique [0002] In film and television animation or game animation, the rendering effect of the facial expression of the virtual character plays an important role in the portrayal of the virtual character. In the related art, the blend shape provided by FACS (Facial Action Coding System) is usually used, and the auxiliary blend shape extended based on the blend shape is used for linear combination to obtain the facial expression of the virtual character. Usually, it is necessary to combine many kinds of blend shapes to obtain a facial expression of a virtual character; when there are a large number of virtual characters in the animation screen, or when high-quality or high-complexity facial expressions need to be displayed, it may be necessary to simultaneously Loading hun...

Problems solved by technology

Usually, it is necessary to combine many kinds of blend shapes to obtain a facial expression of a virtual character; when there are a large number of virtual characters in the animation screen, or when high-quality or high-complexity facial expressions need to be displayed, it may be necessary to simultaneously Loading hundreds of mixed-shape models into the memory or rendering pipeline consumes high memory and computing resources, which is not conducive to real-time rendering of facial expressions
