The memory 104 is used to store program scripts, configuration information, attribute information of virtual characters, etc. of electronic games.

[0038] The transmission device 106 is used to receive or send data via a network. The specific example of the above network may include a wireless network provided by a communication provider of the computer. In one example, the transmission device 106 includes a network adapter (Network Interface Controller, referred to as NIC), which can be connected to other network devices through a base station so as to communicate with the Internet. In one example, the transmission device 106 can be a radio frequency (RF) module, which is used to communicate with the Internet wirelessly.

[0039] Optionally, the input-output device 108 further includes a human-computer interaction screen for obtaining human-computer interaction instructions through a human-computer interaction interface and for presenting images in a virtual scene;

[0040] In this embodiment, a method for generating character image data is provided. Figure 2FIG. 1 is a flow chart of a method for generating character image data according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 2 As shown, the process includes the following steps:

[0041] Step S202, obtaining first character image data of a character controlled by a first player in a game scene;

[0042] Optionally, the character pictogram of the player-controlled character (PCC) in the game scene includes image elements such as appearance, clothing, hairstyle, accessories, etc. Further, the appearance may include image elements such as eyes, nose, ears, face shape, etc.

[0043] Step S204, detecting a feature extraction instruction, and extracting target image features from the first character image data;

[0044] Optionally, the target image features may be the image features of the image elements such as eyes, nose, ears, beard, face shape, distance between eyes and nose, shape of chin, whether there are tattoos, hairstyle, decorations, etc. in the character image of the character controlled by the first player.

[0045] Step S206, generating a plurality of second character image data using the target image features;

[0046] Optionally, the second character image data may correspond to multiple second player-controlled characters, or to multiple game stages of the same second player-controlled character. The target image feature is a style feature, which is used to fix the character images of multiple game characters or the same game character in different game stages.

[0047] Through the above steps, the first character image data of the character controlled by the first player in the game scene is obtained; the feature extraction instruction is detected, the target image feature is extracted from the first character image data, and a plurality of second character image data are generated using the target image feature. By extracting the target image feature from the first character image data and generating a plurality of second character image data based on the target image feature, a plurality of different game characters with the same image primary color can be rendered in the virtual game, thereby achieving the unification of the style of the game character images, solving the technical problem that the related technology cannot generate character image data of a unified style for multiple game characters in the virtual game, and achieving the personalized configuration and flexible configuration of the game character images.

[0048] In one implementation of the present embodiment, multiple second character image data correspond to multiple second player-controlled characters, each second character image data corresponds to a second player-controlled character, and using target image features to generate multiple second character image data includes: for each second player-controlled character, using the target image features to generate an initial face-pinching model, and fixing the image parameters of the first image element on the initial face-pinching model, wherein the first image element corresponds to the target image features; detecting image configuration instructions for the second image element, and configuring the image parameters of the second image element on the initial face-pinching model based on the image configuration instructions, wherein the character image of the second player-controlled character includes the first image element and the second image element.

[0049] In this embodiment, the user selects at least one group of identical image elements (first image elements) and fixes them. The image elements other than the first image elements can be flexibly configured. The configured multiple second character image data all include the image data of the first image elements, thereby achieving a unified style of the character image. When the user pinches the face of a new game character, the initial face pinching can be automatically performed based on the image parameters of the extracted identical image elements to generate an initial face pinching model. On this basis, the user can further adjust the character image based on the initial face pinching model, add or configure other differentiated second image elements, thereby achieving automatic generation of multiple sets of second character image data of a unified style that conforms to the user's preference based on the user's face pinching preference.

[0050] In some examples of this embodiment, extracting target image features from the first character image data includes: extracting at least one of the following feature data from the first character image data: feature data of a specified part, association feature data between at least two parts, hairstyle feature data, clothing feature data, prop feature data, and decoration feature data; and determining the feature data as the target image features.

[0051] Optionally, the part of the embodiment can be an organ, tissue, limb, torso, etc. of the character controlled by the first player, such as eyes, nose, legs, buttocks, etc. The target image feature can be the image feature of a single part, such as eyes can be divided into peach blossom eyes, auspicious phoenix eyes, sleeping phoenix eyes, willow leaf eyes, apricot eyes, fox eyes, copper bell eyes, dragon eyes, red phoenix eyes and deer eyes according to the eye shape feature, and one eye shape feature corresponds to one feature data of the eye. The target image feature can also be an associated feature between two or more parts, such as the ratio of eye length to eyebrow length, the relative position of the nose in the whole face, the ratio between leg length and torso length, etc. Because not only a single part will affect the character image, but multiple parts will also affect the overall sense and coordination of the character image.

[0052] Figure 32 is a schematic diagram of multiple character images with a unified style according to an embodiment of the present invention, which are character 1, character 2, character 3, and character 4. The features of the four characters other than facial features are target image features, including body, limbs, clothing, etc. The face is a second image element. By configuring different facial features, four second player-controlled characters with the same image elements except for different facial images are obtained.

[0053] In one implementation of this embodiment, using the target image feature to generate a plurality of second character image data includes:

[0054] Example 1: using the target image feature to generate a plurality of second character image data in different virtual games for the target user account, wherein each second character image data corresponds to at least one second player-controlled character in a virtual game;

[0055] For example, user A downloads three virtual games, Game 1, Game 2, and Game 3. User A unlocks three player-controlled characters, Character 1, Character 2, and Character 3 in Game 1, Game 2, and Game 3 respectively. Then, three second character image data can be generated, and each second character image data is used to configure Character 1, or Character 2, or Character 3.

[0056] Example 2: using the target image feature to generate second character image data of multiple different player-controlled characters for the target game account, wherein each second character image data corresponds to at least one second player-controlled character in the same virtual game;

[0057] Example 3: Using the target image feature to generate multiple second character image data in different game scenes or game copies, wherein each second character image data corresponds to a second player-controlled character in a virtual scene or game copy;

[0058] In this example, for different game scenes or game copies in the virtual game, the same player-controlled character can also be configured with a second character image data respectively, so as to adapt the character image according to the game scene or game copy in the virtual game.

[0059] Example 4: using the target image feature to generate a plurality of second character image data with different professional attributes, wherein each second character image data corresponds to at least one second player-controlled character with a professional attribute;

[0060] This example is used to switch the stylized character image according to the current occupation (type of work) of the player-controlled character. For example, miners, farmers, alchemists, etc. each have a corresponding different image.

[0061] Example 5: Using target image features to generate a plurality of second character image data of different character states, wherein each second character image data corresponds to at least one second player-controlled character of a character state.

[0062] Optionally, the character state of this embodiment can be the emotional state, health state, combat state, etc. of the character controlled by the player, and the stylized character image can be switched according to the current state of the character. For example, different character images correspond to full health, excitement and sadness, and different character images correspond to negative attribute gains and positive attribute gains.

[0063] In one implementation of this embodiment, using the target image feature to generate multiple second character image data includes: using the target image feature to generate multiple second character image data at different time nodes, and obtaining an image data packet of the second player-controlled character, wherein each second character image data corresponds to a second player-controlled character at a time node.

[0064] In some other examples of this embodiment, using the target image feature to generate a plurality of second character image data includes: using the target image feature to generate a plurality of second character image data of different logical nodes, and obtaining an image data packet of a second player-controlled character, wherein each second character image data corresponds to a second player-controlled character of a logical node. Using the target image feature to generate a plurality of second character image data includes: using the target image feature to generate a plurality of second character image data of different position nodes, and obtaining an image data packet of a second player-controlled character, wherein each second character image data corresponds to a second player-controlled character of a position node.

[0065] Optionally, the time node can be a key time point of the timeline in the virtual game, or a key time point of the timeline in the real world. In addition to using the target image feature to generate second character image data for multiple different time nodes, this embodiment can also use the target image feature to generate second character image data for multiple different logical nodes and position nodes. Among them, according to the script content of the virtual game, the virtual game can be divided into multiple game links according to the key plot, such as each level corresponds to a game link, the sacrifice time point of the player-controlled character is a logical node, and the position node can be obtained by dividing the map blocks of the virtual game, or dividing the three realms of the game scene to obtain three position nodes of airspace, land, and water, or obtaining the realm of gods, the realm of demons, and the realm of humans.

[0066] Based on the above implementation, after obtaining the image data packet of the character controlled by the second player, the method further includes:

[0067] S11, obtaining the time attribute value of the current time;

[0068] S12, searching the image data packet for target image data matching the time attribute value;

[0069] In this embodiment, searching the image data packet for target image data that matches the time attribute value may be, but is not limited to: searching the image data packet for first target image data that matches the system time, wherein the time attribute value includes the system time of the gaming device; searching the image data packet for second target image data that matches the online time, wherein the time attribute value includes the online time of the gaming account; searching the image data packet for third target image data that matches the evolution time or evolution cycle, wherein the time attribute value includes the evolution time or evolution cycle of the character controlled by the second player in the gaming scene; searching the image data packet for fourth target image data that matches the remaining life time, wherein the time attribute value includes the remaining life time of the character controlled by the second player in the gaming scene.

[0070] S13, using the target image data to update the character attributes of the character controlled by the second player, and using the target image data to update the character image screen of the character controlled by the second player in the game scene.

[0071] After the user configures the character image in the game or selects the initial image of a certain character, he can also configure multiple groups of intermediate images in the image data packet. The switching between the initial image and the intermediate image, and the switching between two adjacent intermediate images are associated with the time attribute value. The time attribute value can be natural time, the online time of the character in the game, the creation time of the character, the life time of the character (such as blood volume, health level, etc.), and the character training level, etc., which can simulate the image changes of animals or humans, including intermediate images such as infancy, youth, middle age, decline, and death. The game server or game client monitors the change of time, obtains the time attribute value of the current time, searches for matching target image data, and adjusts and switches the character image accordingly, so that the character image presented during the user's game process corresponds to the time attribute value experienced by the game character. For example, the user initially configures a character image of a teenager. Based on the face pinching parameters of the character image that have been configured, the target image data corresponding to the character at a certain time after the current time can be automatically calculated, so that when the game runs to that time, the character image is switched to the character image determined by the target image data corresponding to that time.

[0072] Figure 4 It is a schematic diagram of updating the character image screen according to the evolution cycle according to an embodiment of the present invention, including five evolution cycles: infancy, childhood, adolescence, youth, and middle age.

[0073] After being generated, the image data packet of this embodiment can be stored locally on the game client or on the game server. When set locally on the game client, it is only valid for a single user. When synchronized to the game server, for example, when game client A loads the second player-controlled character controlled by game client B, the game server sends the target image data of the second player-controlled character to game client B so that other online characters in the virtual game can also see it.

[0074] In an implementation scenario of this embodiment, in addition to adjusting the character image of the PCC in the virtual game, the character image of the NPC (Non-Player-Controlled Character) or even the character image of the scene object can also be adjusted. Taking the NPC as an example, the process includes:

[0075] S21, obtaining first initial image data of a first non-player-controlled character and second initial image data of a second non-player-controlled character in a game scene, wherein the first non-player-controlled character is a game character of a first game camp, and the second non-player-controlled character is a game character of a second game camp;

[0076] S22, using the first preset image to generate fifth target image data, and using the second preset image to generate sixth target image data;

[0077] The first preset image and the second preset image may be a selfie of the user, an image selected from a material library, or an image downloaded from the Internet.

[0078] S23, using the fifth target image data to replace the first initial image data of the first non-player-controlled character, and using the sixth target image data to replace the second initial image data of the second non-player-controlled character.

[0079] In one example, after using the first preset image to generate the fifth target image data and using the second preset image to generate the sixth target image data, it also includes: extracting the common image features of the fifth target image data and the sixth target image data; determining the third non-player-controlled character to be configured, and highlighting the configuration items that match the common image features in the image configuration interface of the third non-player-controlled character; detecting the selection instructions for the configuration items, extracting the common image features, and using the common image features to generate the third character image data of the third non-player-controlled character; and using the third character image data to render the character image screen of the third non-player-controlled character locally on the game client.

[0080] This example can personalize the character image of the NPC in the game, such as configuring different game characters for the NPCs in the good and bad camps in the game scene, such as configuring the NPCs in the good camp to be the image of a favorite idol, and the bad camp to be the image of a person you don't like. At the same time, the image of a specific NPC in the game can also be defined, thereby enhancing the immersion and sense of substitution of the game. On the other hand, the common image features of the personalized image configuration of the NPC by the user in different games can be extracted (for example, the NPC is configured with a short hair style, or the NPC is wearing a certain style of accessories). When the user plays a new game again and personalizes the image of the NPC in the game, the matching configuration items can be highlighted in the configurable items of the NPC (such as hairstyle, accessories, etc.) according to the common image features, thereby prompting the user to directly use the existing configuration parameters (common image features) of these configuration items to personalize the current NPC.

[0081] The fifth target image data and the sixth target image data of this implementation scenario are set locally on the game client, one copy for each game account, and personalized rendering is performed only locally on the game client. Different users may see different character images of the same NPC.

[0082] In this embodiment, when a plurality of second character image data are generated by using target image features, or a fifth target image data is generated by using a first preset image, and a sixth target image data is generated by using a second preset image, the second character image data, the fifth target image data, and the sixth target image data customized by the user can be synchronously stored in the game server, and by establishing a mapping relationship between the character image data and the game character, other users can obtain and select the character image data, and configure the character image data for the game character to be configured to realize a stylized character image display. In addition, the character image data preset by each client or game server can be ranked, priced, and scored, and the modification requirement information of a certain character image data can also be obtained from the user's download request, so as to make adjustments based on the character image data, and by establishing a traceability relationship between the adjusted character image data and the original character image data, the traceability of the virtual goods can be realized.

[0083] By adopting the solution of this embodiment, personalized customization of the character image in the game is achieved.

[0084] Through the description of the above implementation methods, those skilled in the art can clearly understand that the method according to the above embodiment can be implemented by means of software plus a necessary general hardware platform, and of course can also be implemented by hardware, but in many cases the former is a better implementation method.
