[0047] To make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of the present application clearer, the following will further describe the embodiments of the present application in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0048] In a game application or some applications based on a virtual environment, a player can usually control a virtual object to perform various actions in the virtual environment, such as: a firearm aiming action, a firearm sighting-off action, etc. Among them, the firearm aiming action refers to an action in which a virtual object holds a virtual firearm and switches from the hip-fire state to the state of aiming with a sight.

For example, the virtual firearm 110 is correspondingly configured with an aiming animation 111; the virtual firearm 120 is correspondingly configured with an aiming animation 121, etc. However, in the above schematic diagram, due to the variety of virtual firearms and the fact that different firearm accessories may also affect firearm parameters, developers need to configure aiming / sighting-off action data for each type of virtual firearm and its corresponding firearm configuration, and the configuration efficiency of aiming / sighting-off animations is relatively low.

[0051] Obtain the starting position point coordinates 221 and the ending position point coordinates 222 in the reference aiming animation resource, and an individual determines the second displacement vector 220 based on the starting position point coordinates 221 and the ending position point coordinates 222.

[0052] Determine the scaling ratio of the aiming animation resource according to the first displacement vector 210 and the second displacement vector 220, so as to perform scaling adjustment on the hand position in the aiming animation resource, and obtain the aiming animation corresponding to the virtual firearm held by the current virtual object.

[0068] Combined with the above introduction of terms and the description of the implementation environment, the animation playback method provided in the embodiments of the present application will be described. Please refer to Figure 5 , which shows the flowchart of the animation playback method provided by an exemplary embodiment of the present application. Taking the application of this method in a terminal as an example for description, as Figure 5 shown, the method includes:

[0069] Step 501, receive a control operation on a virtual object, where the control operation is used to control the virtual object to perform a target action.

[0070] The target action is used to control the virtual object to adjust from the first form of holding the virtual prop to the second form. The first form is used to indicate the form of the virtual object before performing the target action, and the second form is used to indicate the form of the virtual object after performing the target action. The first form and the second form are mainly used to indicate the performance form of the virtual object, that is, the state of the virtual object.

[0071] In some embodiments, the target action includes at least one of the following actions:

[0072] First, the opening / closing of the scope action, wherein the opening of the scope action refers to the action of the virtual object holding a virtual firearm and adjusting from the hip-fire state to the state of observing through the scope, and conversely, the closing of the scope action refers to the action of the virtual object holding a virtual firearm and adjusting from the state of observing through the scope to the hip-fire state.

[0073] The first form corresponding to the aiming action is the hip-firing state of the virtual object holding the virtual firearm, and the second form corresponding to the aiming action is the state of the virtual object holding the virtual firearm and observing through the scope.

[0074] Second, the throwing action, wherein the throwing action refers to the action of the virtual object throwing the throwing prop it holds. Since different throwing props have different corresponding weights, the amplitude of the throwing action during throwing is also different.

[0075] The first form corresponding to the throwing action is the state in which the hand of the virtual object accumulates force backwards, and the second form corresponding to the throwing action is the state in which the hand of the virtual object releases the throwing prop.

[0076] It should be noted that the above-mentioned implementation methods of the target actions are only illustrative examples, and this embodiment does not limit the action type of the target action.

[0077] In the embodiment of the present application, the target action is implemented as a mirror opening / closing action for description.

[0078] For example, taking aiming as an example, an aiming control operation is received, and the aiming control operation is used to control the virtual object to perform an aiming action on the virtual firearm. Before aiming, the virtual environment is observed from the first or third person perspective of the virtual object, and after aiming, the virtual environment is observed through the sight matching part assembled on the virtual firearm held by the virtual object.

[0079] Step 502: Acquire a first displacement vector corresponding to the first form and the second form based on the posture of the virtual object.

[0080] The posture of a virtual object is used to indicate the position where the body part of the virtual object is located. In some embodiments, the posture of the virtual object is used to indicate the position where a specified body part of the virtual object is located. For example, the posture of the virtual object is used to indicate the position where the hand of the virtual object is located; or, the posture of the virtual object is used to indicate the positions of at least two body parts of the virtual object. For example, the posture of the virtual object is used to indicate the positions of the hand and the head of the virtual object.

[0081] In the embodiments of the present application, the posture of the virtual object is used to indicate the position point coordinates of the target body position of the virtual object. Taking the action of aiming as an example, the posture of the virtual object is used to indicate the position point coordinates of the hand position of the virtual object in the virtual environment. Optionally, based on the posture of the virtual object, a first displacement vector corresponding to the target body position of the virtual object in the first form and the second form is obtained. Schematically, taking the action of aiming as an example for illustration, when performing the aiming action, the virtual object lifts the virtual firearm from the waist to in front of the eyes. Among them, the position of the virtual firearm is adjusted by the lifting of the hand position. Therefore, when determining the first displacement vector, the first displacement vector corresponding to the hand position of the virtual object in the first form and the second form is obtained.

[0082] Among them, since the first form is the form of the virtual object before performing the target action, that is, the first form is the current form. First, the first position point coordinates of the target body position of the virtual object in the current first form are obtained, the target adjustment position of the virtual prop is determined, and based on the target adjustment position, the second position point coordinates of the target body position of the virtual object in the second form are determined. The difference between the second position point coordinates and the first position point coordinates is used as the first displacement vector.

[0083] Taking the virtual prop as a virtual firearm and the target action as the aiming action as an example, the target adjustment position is the position where the virtual firearm is located after aiming. When determining the target adjustment position, first, the coincidence position of the aiming reticle and the center point of the observation range of the virtual object after the virtual firearm is aimed is determined, and the coincidence position of the aiming reticle and the center point of the observation range is used as the target adjustment position of the virtual firearm.

[0084] That is, when the target action is realized as the aiming action, in the process of determining the first displacement vector, the first position point coordinates corresponding to the first form are directly determined according to the current hand position of the virtual object; the second position point coordinates corresponding to the second form are determined by inversely deducing the position where the hand of the virtual object is located when the virtual firearm is at the coincidence position according to the coincidence position of the aiming reticle and the center point of the observation range after the virtual firearm is aimed. Among them, the first position point coordinates and the second position point coordinates are determined based on the world coordinate system; or, the first position point coordinates and the second position point coordinates are determined based on the coordinate system corresponding to the virtual object.

[0085] Schematically, based on the position of the current virtual object in the virtual environment and with the world coordinate system as the reference, determine the coordinate of the first position point of the current hand position; aiming at making the reticle of the sight coincide with the center of the observation range, determine the target adjustment position of the virtual firearm, and based on the target adjustment position and with the world coordinate system as the reference, determine the coordinate of the second position point of the hand position. That is, obtain the coordinate of the first position point of the hand of the virtual object before the current sighting, and based on the target adjustment position, determine the coordinate of the second position point of the hand of the virtual object after the sighting. Subtract the coordinate of the first position point from the coordinate of the second position point to obtain the first displacement vector.

[0086] Schematically, please refer to Figure 6 , in the virtual environment, there is a virtual object 600. When the virtual object 600 fires in the hip-fire state, the virtual object 600 is in the first form, and determine the hand position coordinate of the virtual object 600 in this first form; when the virtual object 600 fires in the sighted state, the virtual object 600 is in the second form, and the reticle of the sight of the virtual firearm coincides with the center of the observation range of the virtual object with respect to the virtual environment, obtain the position of the virtual firearm, and thus infer the hand position coordinate of the virtual object 600 at the position of the virtual firearm. Determine the difference between the two hand position coordinates as the first displacement vector.

[0087] The first displacement vector represents the hand movement amplitude required for the virtual object to perform the sighting action on the current virtual firearm.

[0088] Step 503, obtain the second displacement vector corresponding to the first form and the second form in the reference animation resource.

[0089] The reference animation resource is an adaptive animation resource corresponding to the prop type and the target action of the virtual prop, and the reference animation resource further includes the intermediate animation data of the target action, and the intermediate animation data is used to indicate the action process of the target action.

[0090] Among them, the reference animation resource is set for virtual props of the same type, or for a group of virtual props of the same type of virtual props.

[0091] Schematically, the virtual firearms share the same reference animation resource; or, the virtual firearms include virtual rifles, virtual sniper rifles, and virtual pistols. Among them, the virtual rifles share the same reference animation resource, the virtual sniper rifles share the same reference animation resource, and the virtual pistols share the same reference animation resource; or, cluster the virtual firearms into at least two firearm clusters according to the firearm characteristics, and the virtual firearms in each firearm cluster share the same reference animation resource. The embodiments of the present application do not limit this.

[0092] Among them, the reference animation resource includes pre-set animation resources corresponding to the target action, including coordinate data corresponding to the target body position of the virtual object. Optionally, taking the aiming action as an example, the reference animation resource includes a sequence of animation frames during the aiming process, and each frame contains data of each bone point of the virtual object (displacement, rotation, scaling, etc.). Usually, the game engine plays the animation according to the animation frames to make the action performance.

[0093] That is, obtain the hand bone point data corresponding to the first animation frame in the reference animation resource and the hand bone point data corresponding to the last animation frame, and determine the second displacement vector according to the difference between the two hand bone point data. Among them, the second displacement vector represents the hand movement amplitude of the aiming action in the reference animation resource.

[0094] Step 504, adjust the intermediate animation data based on the scaling ratios corresponding to the first displacement vector and the second displacement vector to obtain the animation data for the virtual object to perform the target action.

[0095] Among them, the first displacement vector represents the movement amplitude required for the virtual object to perform the target action, while the second displacement vector represents the movement amplitude configured in the reference animation resource. That is, the scaling ratio determined according to the first displacement vector and the second displacement vector is used to indicate the coordinate adjustment ratio in the reference animation resource. After adjusting the coordinates of the animation data in the reference animation resource according to the adjustment ratio, the adaptive animation data for the current virtual object to perform the target action on the virtual prop is obtained.

[0096] Step 505, play the animation of the virtual object performing the target action based on the animation data.

[0097] In summary, for the animation playing method provided by the embodiments of the present application, since the reference animation resource is an adaptive animation resource corresponding to the prop type and the target action of the virtual prop, that is, the reference animation resource is an animation resource corresponding to a group of virtual props. When performing the target action, when the virtual object holds any one of the group of virtual props, the reference animation resource can be used for scaling adjustment to realize animation rendering and playing, improving the animation configuration efficiency corresponding to the target action and reducing the resource occupancy and the calculation amount of the device.

[0098] In an optional embodiment, the reference animation resource is determined according to the prop type of the virtual prop. Figure 7 It is a flowchart of an animation playing method provided by another exemplary embodiment of the present application. Taking the application of this method to a terminal as an example for illustration, as Figure 7 shown, this method includes:

[0099] Step 701, receive a control operation on the virtual object, and the control operation is used to control the virtual object to perform a target action.

[0100] Among them, the target action is used to control the virtual object to adjust from the first form holding the virtual prop to the second form.

[0101] Schematically, taking aiming as an example, an aiming control operation is received, and the aiming control operation is used to control the virtual object to perform an aiming action on the virtual firearm.

[0102] Step 702: Obtain a first displacement vector corresponding to the first form and the second form based on the posture of the virtual object.

[0103] The first form is the form of the virtual object before performing the target action, that is, the first form is the current form. First, obtain the coordinate of the first position point of the target body position of the virtual object in the current first form, determine the target adjustment position of the virtual prop, determine the coordinate of the second position point of the target body position of the virtual object in the second form based on the target adjustment position, and use the difference between the coordinate of the second position point and the coordinate of the first position point as the first displacement vector.

[0104] The first displacement vector represents the hand movement amplitude required for the virtual object to perform an aiming action on the current virtual firearm.

[0105] Optionally, taking the aiming action as an example, when the virtual environment is running, obtain the hand position V1 when the currently equipped virtual firearm is hip-fired, and the hand position V2 when aiming, and calculate V3 = V2 - V1, where V3 is the above-mentioned first displacement vector.

[0106] Schematically, as Figure 8 shown, it shows a schematic diagram of the aiming process provided by an exemplary embodiment of the present application. The virtual object 800 holds the virtual firearm 810. Before aiming the virtual firearm 810, the hand position coordinate of the virtual object 800 when hip-firing is V1(50, 50, 50), and the hand position coordinate after aiming is V2(25, 25, 75). Then, the first displacement vector can be calculated as V3(-25, -25, 25) = V2 - V1 according to the hand position coordinate when hip-firing and the hand position coordinate after aiming.

[0107] Step 703: Determine the prop type of the virtual prop.

[0108] In some embodiments, when determining the prop type of the virtual prop, determine the functional classification type to which the virtual prop belongs; or, determine the sub-classification type of the effect class to which the virtual prop belongs. Among them, the functional classification type is used to indicate the prop function implemented by the virtual prop, such as: attack function, cover function, etc.; the sub-classification type of the effect class is used to indicate the next-level classification in the functional classification.

[0109] Schematically, when determining the functional classification type to which a virtual item belongs, for example: determining that the virtual item belongs to any one of virtual firearms, virtual throwing items, and virtual accessories; when determining the subdivision type to which the virtual item belongs, taking virtual firearms as an example, for example: determining that the virtual item belongs to any one of virtual rifles, virtual sniper rifles, and virtual pistols.

[0110] Step 704, obtain the reference animation resources corresponding to the item type and the target action.

[0111] Among them, the reference animation resources are the animation resources preset for the corresponding item type and action type.

[0112] Optionally, the reference animation resources are animation resources of the superimposed type. The skeletal data in the animation resources of the superimposed type is the data obtained by subtracting the first frame of the animation provided by the art from each frame of the animation. This part of the data is usually referred to as superimposed data or incremental data.

[0113] The reference animation resources are the adaptive animation resources corresponding to the item type of the virtual item and the target action, and the reference animation resources also include the intermediate animation data of the target action, and the intermediate animation data is used to indicate the action process of the target action.

[0114] That is to say, the reference animation resources are applicable to the virtual items belonging to this item type and during the execution of this target action. That is to say, when any virtual item belonging to this item type is held by the execution object and executes this target action, animation rendering can be performed on the basis of this reference animation resource.

[0115] In some embodiments, if the reference animation resources are the resources corresponding to the functional classification type of the virtual item, then determine the functional classification type of the virtual item; or, if the reference animation resources are the resources corresponding to the effect class subdivision type of the virtual item, then determine the effect class subdivision type of the virtual item.

[0116] Optionally, taking the virtual item including virtual firearms as an example, then obtain the reference animation resources corresponding to the virtual firearms and the target action; or, obtain the reference animation resources corresponding to the firearm type of the virtual firearms and the target action. In some embodiments, obtain the reference animation resources corresponding to the firearm type of the virtual firearms, the firearm accessory parameters of the virtual firearms, and the target action.

[0117] Step 705, obtain the starting position point coordinates and the ending position point coordinates of the target body position of the virtual object in the reference animation resources.

[0118] Schematically, taking the aiming action as an example, then obtain the position A1 of the hand in the first frame and the position A2 of the hand in the last frame in the reference aiming animation resource when the virtual environment is running.

[0119] Among them, the starting position point coordinates and the ending position point coordinates of the target body position are relative to the world coordinate system in the virtual environment; or, the starting position point coordinates and the ending position point coordinates of the target body position are relative to the object coordinate system corresponding to the virtual object.

[0120] Step 706, take the difference between the ending position point coordinates and the starting position point coordinates as the second displacement vector.

[0121] Taking the above-mentioned aiming action as an example, after obtaining the position A1 of the hand in the first frame and the position A2 of the hand in the last frame in the reference aiming animation resource, calculate A3 = A2 - A1, where A3 represents the above-mentioned second displacement vector.

[0122] Schematically, as Figure 9 shown, it shows a schematic diagram of the reference aiming animation resource provided by an exemplary embodiment of the present application. During the aiming process, the hand position of the virtual object moves from the starting position point 910 to the ending position point 920. Among them, the hand position coordinates of the starting position point 910 are A1(40, 40, 40), and the hand position coordinates of the ending position point 920 are A2(30, 30, 45). Then, according to the hand position coordinates of the starting position point 910 and the hand position coordinates of the ending position point 920, the second displacement vector can be calculated as A3(-10, -10, 5) = A2 - A1.

[0123] Among them, the second displacement vector represents the hand movement amplitude of the aiming action in the reference animation resource.

[0124] Step 707, adjust the intermediate animation data based on the scaling ratios corresponding to the first displacement vector and the second displacement vector, and obtain the animation data for the virtual object to perform the target action for playback.

[0125] Among them, the first displacement vector represents the movement amplitude required for the virtual object to perform the target action, and the second displacement vector represents the movement amplitude configured in the reference animation resource. That is, the scaling ratio determined according to the first displacement vector and the second displacement vector is used to indicate the coordinate adjustment ratio in the reference animation resource. After adjusting the coordinates of the animation data in the reference animation resource according to the adjustment ratio, the adaptive animation data for the current virtual object to perform the target action on the virtual prop is obtained.

[0126] In summary, for the animation playing method provided in the embodiments of the present application, since the reference animation resource is an adaptive animation resource corresponding to the prop type of the virtual prop and the target action, that is, the reference animation resource is an animation resource corresponding to a group of virtual props. When performing the target action, when the virtual object holds any one of the group of virtual props, the reference animation resource can be used for scaling adjustment, so as to realize animation rendering and playing, improve the animation configuration efficiency corresponding to the target action, and reduce the resource occupancy and the computing amount of the device.

[0127] For the method provided in this embodiment, the reference animation resource is determined according to the prop type of the virtual prop, that is, the reference animation resource can be applied to any virtual prop that conforms to the prop type of the virtual prop, avoiding the need to independently configure animation resources for each virtual prop, reducing the resource consumption in the animation resource configuration process, improving the animation resource configuration efficiency, and at the same time improving the accuracy of the animation resource configuration.

[0128] In an alternative embodiment, the scaling ratio is used to multiply the intermediate animation data. Figure 10 It is a flowchart of the animation playing method provided in another exemplary embodiment of the present application. Taking the application of this method to a terminal as an example for illustration, as Figure 10 shown, the method includes:

[0129] Step 1001, receive a control operation on the virtual object, where the control operation is used to control the virtual object to perform a target action.

[0130] The target action is used to control the virtual object to adjust from the first form holding the virtual prop to the second form.

[0131] Illustratively, taking aiming as an example, receive an aiming control operation, where the aiming control operation is used to control the virtual object to perform an aiming action on the virtual firearm.

[0132] Step 1002, obtain a first displacement vector corresponding to the first form and the second form based on the posture of the virtual object.

[0133] The first form is the form of the virtual object before performing the target action, that is, the first form is the current form. First, obtain the coordinate of the first position point of the target body position of the virtual object in the current first form, determine the target adjustment position of the virtual prop, determine the coordinate of the second position point of the target body position of the virtual object in the second form based on the target adjustment position, and use the difference between the second position point coordinate and the first position point coordinate as the first displacement vector.

[0134] The first displacement vector represents the hand movement amplitude required for the virtual object to perform an aiming action on the current virtual firearm.

[0135] Step 1003: Obtain the second displacement vector corresponding to the first form and the second form in the reference animation resource.

[0136] The reference animation resource is an adaptive animation resource corresponding to the prop type of the virtual prop and the target action. The reference animation resource also includes the intermediate animation data of the target action, and the intermediate animation data is used to indicate the action process of the target action.

[0137] Among them, the reference animation resource is set for virtual props of the same type, or for a group of virtual props of the same type of virtual props.

[0138] Taking the aiming action as an example, obtain the hand bone point data corresponding to the first frame of the animation in the reference animation resource and the hand bone point data corresponding to the last frame of the animation. Determine the second displacement vector according to the difference between the two hand bone point data. Among them, the second displacement vector represents the hand movement amplitude of the aiming action in the reference animation resource.

[0139] Step 1004: Determine the scaling ratio based on the ratio between the first displacement vector and the second displacement vector.

[0140] Illustratively, taking the above first displacement vector V3(-25, -25, 25) and the second displacement vector A3(-10, -10, 5) as an example, the ratio between the first displacement vector and the second displacement vector is determined as the scaling ratio, that is, the scaling ratio S3(2.5, 2.5, 5) = V3 / A3.

[0141] Step 1005: Use the product of the scaling ratio and the intermediate animation data as the animation data for the virtual object to perform the target action.

[0142] In some embodiments, the target action includes the aiming action, and the intermediate animation data includes the position data of the hand of the virtual object during the aiming process. Then, the product of the scaling ratio and the position data of the hand during the aiming process is used as the animation data of the hand position when the virtual object performs the aiming action.

[0143] Illustratively, when playing the aiming animation, use S3 to scale the displacement data V of each frame of the bone output in the reference animation resource, that is, the final result obtained is R = S3 × V.

[0144] In some embodiments, the starting position of the hand of the virtual object during the aiming process starts from the first position point coordinate of the virtual object in the first form, and the ending position of the hand ends at the second position point coordinate of the virtual object in the second form.

[0145] In some embodiments, during the adjustment of the hand position, the arm bones are synchronously adjusted based on the bone binding system. Among them, the bone binding system is a system in the game animation system that corrects the arm effect. The bone binding system is used to adjust the animation effect of the entire arm according to the position of the hand bone points through preset constraint calculations.

[0146] Step 1006, play the animation of the virtual object performing the target action based on the animation data.

[0147] Among them, the first displacement vector represents the movement amplitude required for the virtual object to perform the target action, while the second displacement vector represents the movement amplitude configured in the reference animation resource. That is, the scaling ratio determined according to the first displacement vector and the second displacement vector is used to indicate the coordinate adjustment ratio in the reference animation resource. After adjusting the coordinates of the animation data in the reference animation resource according to the adjustment ratio, the adaptive animation data of the current virtual object performing the target action on the virtual prop is obtained.

[0148] In summary, for the animation playback method provided by the embodiments of the present application, since the reference animation resource is an adaptive animation resource corresponding to the prop type and target action of the virtual prop, that is, the reference animation resource is an animation resource corresponding to a group of virtual props. When performing the target action, when the virtual object holds any one of the group of virtual props, the reference animation resource can be used for scaling adjustment, so as to realize animation rendering and playback, improve the animation configuration efficiency corresponding to the target action, and reduce the resource occupancy and the calculation amount of the device.

[0149] For the method provided in this embodiment, after calculating the scaling ratio, the reference animation resource is scaled and adjusted through the scaling ratio, and the action animation corresponding to the current virtual prop and the target action can be obtained, improving the adaptability of the animation rendering.

[0150] Figure 11 It is a schematic diagram of the overall process of the aiming animation provided by an exemplary embodiment of the present application. As Figure 11 shown, this process includes:

[0151] Step 1101, the player clicks the aiming control.

[0152] That is, the player triggers the aiming control and inputs an aiming instruction. After the virtual firearm receives the aiming instruction, it instructs the virtual character to play the aiming animation.

[0153] Step 1102, animation update.

[0154] That is, when the animation logic of the player character is updated, the hand position point V1 before aiming and the hand position point V2 during aiming are obtained, and the vector V3 = V2 - V1 is calculated.

[0155] Step 1103, Obtain animation resource data.

[0156] Obtain the starting point A1 and the ending point A2 of the hand displacement from the animation resource, and calculate the vector A3 = A2 - A1.

[0157] Step 1104, Calculate the scaling ratio according to the actual displacement.

[0158] Divide V3 by A3 to obtain a ratio data S3.

[0159] Step 1105, Obtain the aiming animation resource according to the scaling ratio.

[0160] Scale each frame of the animation data in the aiming process according to the ratio data S3 in real time. This can adapt the hand animation of the current actual virtual firearm from hip shooting to aiming.

[0161] It should be noted that in the above example, the aiming animation is taken as an example for illustration. This animation playing method can also be applied to the scope - closing animation or prop throwing. The embodiments of the present application do not limit this.

[0162] In summary, for the animation playing method provided by the embodiments of the present application, since the reference animation resource is an adaptive animation resource corresponding to the prop type of the virtual prop and the target action, that is, the reference animation resource is an animation resource corresponding to a group of virtual props. When performing the target action, when the virtual object holds any one of the group of virtual props, the reference animation resource can be used for scaling adjustment, so as to realize the animation rendering and playing, improve the animation configuration efficiency corresponding to the target action, and reduce the resource occupancy and the calculation amount of the device.

[0163] Figure 12 It is a flowchart of the animation playing method provided by another exemplary embodiment of the present application. Taking the application of this method to a terminal as an example for illustration, as Figure 12 shown, this method includes:

[0164] Step 1201, Receive a control operation on the virtual object. The control operation is used to control the virtual object to perform a target action. Among them, the target action is used to control the virtual object to adjust from the first form holding a virtual prop to the second form. Among them, the first form is used to represent the form of the virtual object before performing the target action, and the second form is used to represent the form of the virtual object after performing the target action. Among them, the first form and the second form are mainly used to indicate the presentation form of the virtual object, that is, the state in which the virtual object is located.

[0165] In some embodiments, the target action includes aiming / scope - closing actions, throwing actions, etc.

[0166] In the embodiments of the present application, the example of the target action being the action of opening / closing the scope is used for illustration.

[0167] Schematically, taking the opening of the scope as an example, a scope-opening control operation is received, and the scope-opening control operation is used to control the virtual object to perform a scope-opening action on the virtual firearm. Among them, before opening the scope, the virtual environment is observed from the first or third-person perspective of the virtual object, and after opening the scope, the virtual environment is observed through the sight matching part assembled on the virtual firearm held by the virtual object.

[0168] Step 1202, display an animation of the virtual object performing the target action based on the control operation.

[0169] Among them, during the execution of the target action, the target body part of the virtual object changes along the target change path, and the target change path is obtained by adjusting the scaling ratio on the basis of the reference change path, and the scaling ratio corresponds to the virtual prop held by the virtual object.

[0170] In some embodiments, the target change path corresponds to a first displacement vector, the reference change path corresponds to a second displacement vector, and the target change path is a path obtained by adjusting the reference change path based on the scaling ratio corresponding to the first displacement vector and the second displacement vector.

[0171] Optionally, the first displacement vector is a displacement vector corresponding to the first form and the second form obtained based on the posture of the virtual object;

[0172] The second displacement vector is a displacement vector corresponding to the first form and the second form obtained based on the reference animation resource, and the reference animation resource is an adaptive animation resource corresponding to the prop type of the virtual prop and the target action.

[0173] Optionally, based on the posture of the virtual object, obtain the first displacement vector corresponding to the target body position of the virtual object in the first form and the second form. Schematically, taking the scope-opening action as an example for illustration, when performing the scope-opening action, the virtual object raises the virtual firearm from the waist to in front of the eyes. Among them, the position of the virtual firearm is adjusted by the raising of the hand position. Therefore, when determining the first displacement vector, obtain the first displacement vector corresponding to the hand position of the virtual object in the first form and the second form.

[0174] The reference animation resource includes the pre-set animation resource corresponding to the target action, which includes the coordinate data corresponding to the target body position of the virtual object. Optionally, taking the scope-opening action as an example, the reference animation resource includes a sequence of animation frames during the scope-opening process, and each frame contains the data (displacement, rotation, scaling, etc.) of each bone point of the virtual object. Usually, the game engine plays the animation according to the animation frames to make the action performance.

[0175] That is, obtain the hand bone point data corresponding to the first animation frame and the hand bone point data corresponding to the last animation frame in the reference animation resource, and determine the second displacement vector according to the difference between the two hand bone point data. The second displacement vector represents the hand movement amplitude of the camera-on action in the reference animation resource.

[0176] The reference animation resource includes pre-set animation resources corresponding to the target action, including coordinate data corresponding to the target body position of the virtual object. Optionally, taking the camera-on action as an example, the reference animation resource includes a sequence of animation frames during the camera-on process, and each frame contains the data (displacement, rotation, scaling, etc.) of each bone point of the virtual object. Usually, the game engine plays the animation according to the animation frames to make the action performance.

[0177] That is, obtain the hand bone point data corresponding to the first animation frame and the hand bone point data corresponding to the last animation frame in the reference animation resource, and determine the second displacement vector according to the difference between the two hand bone point data. The second displacement vector represents the hand movement amplitude of the camera-on action in the reference animation resource.
