Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of event visualization construction, and in particular to an event visualization construction system based on Unity3D. Background Art

[0002] At present, computer 3D graphics technology is widely used in manufacturing, construction, geographic information, digital entertainment, medical and health, scientific research and other fields, especially in electronic games, 3D animation, VR / AR, data visualization and other industries. In the 3D project development process of the traditional IT industry, artists and programmers need to collaborate with each other, that is, they are responsible for setting up scenes and all visual-related designs, and programmers design the program framework of the entire project in the set-up scenes and implement specific business logic at the code level.

[0003] However, business logic is cumbersome and huge, with high repetitiveness and frequent iterations, which leads to the following two problems in its writing and maintenance process. On the one hand, the cost of communicating and understanding requirements is high. Other personnel need to convey their own requirements to program developers. Due to the limitations of their own technical fields, program developers may not be able to perfectly meet the requirements, and need to communicate and modify back and forth. In addition, each modification of the logic code may lead to the recompilation or construction of the project, which costs time. On the other hand, logic construction is an object-oriented construction process, and people without programming foundation find it difficult to understand the overall construction logic. Summary of the invention

[0023] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0024] Figure 1 A block diagram of a Unity3D-based event visualization system according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0025] like Figure 1 As shown, the event visualization construction system based on Unity3D of the embodiment of the present invention includes an event trigger module 10, an event construction module 20, a data input module 30, a data processing module 40 and an object control module 50, and the event trigger module 10, the event construction module 20, the data input module 30, the data processing module 40 and the object control module 50 are all constructed based on Unity3D. Among them, the event trigger module 10 is associated with the objects in the three-dimensional scene, and the event trigger module 10 is used to monitor whether the objects in the three-dimensional scene are in a triggered state; the event construction module 20 is used to activate and obtain construction instructions when the objects in the three-dimensional scene are in a triggered state, so as to build the data input module 30, the data processing module 40 and the object control module 50; the data input module 30 is used to input event data; the data processing module 40 is used to process event data to obtain object control parameters; the object control module 50 is used to control the object action in the three-dimensional scene according to the control parameters.

[0026] Specifically, the event trigger module 10, event building module 20, data input module 30, data processing module 4 and object control module 50 can be constructed based on the GUI function of Unity3D. The data input module 30, data processing module 40, object control module 50, event trigger module 10 and event building module 20 can respectively be tool windows constructed based on the GUI function of Unity3D, among which the event building module 20 can be the main window, and the data input module 30, data processing module 40, object control module 50 and event trigger module 10 can respectively be sub-windows. Thus, the visual configuration of business logic can be achieved through the tool window.

[0027] More specifically, for the tool windows, namely the data input module 30, the data processing module 40, the object control module 50, the event trigger module 10 and the event building module 20, they can also be encapsulated based on the UGUI function of Unity3D. For example, the event trigger module 10 can encapsulate the toggle with state, that is, the switching panel control, and the key-value pair control for displaying the configuration items. In addition, the data input module 30, the data processing module 40, the object control module 50, the event trigger module 10 and the event building module 20 can all encapsulate the module connection point control to realize the connection between different modules through Bezier curves.

[0028] In one embodiment of the present invention, the event trigger module 10 may be specifically associated with the script mounted on the object in the three-dimensional scene and the function in the script. The event trigger module 10 is specifically used to monitor whether the function in the script mounted on the object in the three-dimensional scene is called.

[0029] Among them, when the object in the three-dimensional scene is not in a triggered state, that is, the function in the script mounted on the object in the three-dimensional scene is not called, the event construction module 20, the data input module 30, the data processing module 40 and the object control module 50 are in a hidden state; when the object in the three-dimensional scene is in a triggered state, that is, the function in the script mounted on the object in the three-dimensional scene is called, the event trigger module 10 can generate a trigger signal and send it to the event construction module 20 to activate the event construction module 20 to put it in a display state. At this time, the event construction module 20 can obtain the construction instruction to control the data input module 30, the data processing module 40 and the object control module 50 to be in a display state.

[0030] It should be noted that when the event building module 20 is activated and in the display state, the event building module 20 can monitor mouse events. When a "right click" event is monitored, the event building module 20 can pop up Figure 2 The module building selection list shown, when monitoring the "left click" event of the corresponding module building option, the event building module 20 can control the corresponding module display, for example Figure 2 The data input module 30 is shown in a display state, thereby realizing the construction of the data input module 30, the data processing module 40 and the object control module 50, so that the business logic of the event can be configured visually. In addition, the mouse event may also include the "move" and "zoom" events of the data input module 30, the data processing module 40 or the object control module 50.

[0031] In one embodiment of the present invention, Figure 2As shown, the data input module 30 may include a data unit 301 and an input unit 302. The data unit 301 may be used to input static event data (e.g., static values ​​of integers, floating point numbers, Booleans, and strings), and may be used to input non-static event data (e.g., event data of objects dynamically referenced in a three-dimensional scene), and the data unit 301 may also be provided with a data function to dynamically generate event data, that is, the data function may be used to dynamically generate event data output from the input static event data or non-static event data.

[0032] Among them, the input unit 302 can be used to input custom event data. Specifically, the event name can be input as the identifier of the event for monitoring the event. When the event, that is, the object in the corresponding three-dimensional scene is in a triggered state, the input unit 302 can output the event data carried by the event. In addition, the input unit 302 can also display the data type of the event data carried by the event.

[0033] In one embodiment of the present invention, Figure 2 As shown, the data processing module 40 may include a calculation unit 401 and a branch unit 402. The calculation unit 401 may be provided with arithmetic operations, bit operations and function operations for processing event data; the branch unit 402 may use logic operations to process event data.

[0034] Specifically, the branch unit 402 can use logical operations to perform logical truth value judgment on the input event data, and can output the judgment Boolean value. If the judgment result, that is, the Boolean value is "Ture", the branch condition of the branch unit 402 is marked as satisfied and the branch unit 402 is retained. If the judgment result, that is, the Boolean value is "False", the branch condition of the branch unit 402 is marked as unsatisfied and the branch unit 402 is truncated.

[0035] In one embodiment of the present invention, the object control module 50 may also be used to obtain a control type. The object control module 50 is specifically used to control the movement of an object in a three-dimensional scene according to the control parameter and the control type.

[0036] Among them, the control types include setting the animation of objects in the 3D scene, modifying the material ball of objects in the 3D scene, modifying the lighting of objects in the 3D scene, and modifying the basic properties of objects in the 3D scene. In addition, setting the animation of objects in the 3D scene also includes setting the rotation of objects in the 3D scene around a point, corresponding target movement, and target scaling. Modifying the basic properties of objects in the 3D scene includes modifying the orientation, visibility, and linear changes (such as displacement, rotation, and scaling) of objects in the 3D scene.

[0037] In addition, the object control module 50 can also be used to obtain delayed trigger time information, control object variable information, control object quantity information, control object animation time information and control object animation curve information. Thus, the object control module 50 can control the delayed trigger of the object action according to the delayed trigger time information, and can determine whether the controlled object is an object in the three-dimensional scene or a global variable according to the control object variable information, and can also determine the number of controlled objects according to the control object quantity information, and can determine the duration of the control object action and the easing function of the action according to the control object animation time information and the control object animation curve information.

[0038] In addition, it should be noted that the event trigger module 10, event construction module 20, data input module 30, data processing module 40 and object control module 50 in the above embodiment can use a serialized data mechanism to persist the configured business logic in an external json file. Thus, when an object in a three-dimensional scene is in a triggered state, the event construction module 20 can traverse all hierarchical structures, serialize the view information into a data object for storage, and write it to a local file after the user has completed building the business logic. Specifically, it can be written to a local file based on the mutual mapping relationship between the graphic module and the data structure, so that it can support deserialization of serialized data into view information.

[0039] Furthermore, since the event trigger module 10, the event building module 20, the data input module 30, the data processing module 40 and the object control module 50, and their respective properties can directly generate fixed code texts, a C# compilation script with text plus dynamic parameters can be set in the object control module 50 to generate code texts from serialized json data according to the rules of C# syntax for controlling the actions of objects in the three-dimensional scene.

[0040] Based on the above structure, the event visualization system based on Unity3D of the present invention can be constructed. Figure 3 The working process of the event visualization building system based on Unity3D of the present invention is specifically described.

[0041] Reference Figure 3 , the event trigger module 10 monitors the objects in the associated three-dimensional scene in real time (the specific blueprint script is ), and starts to cyclically update the cyclic function from the current frame, i.e. Update. When the function in the script mounted on the object in the three-dimensional scene is called, the event building module 20, i.e. the main window can be activated (specifically LogicMapEditorWindow), and obtains the user's building instructions, i.e. the mouse event. At this time, the user can arbitrarily build the data input module 30, i.e. the data unit 301 and the input unit 302, and the data processing module 40, i.e. the calculation unit 401 and the branch unit 402, and the object control module 50 on the event building module 20, i.e. the main window according to the business logic.

[0042] Further, refer to Figure 3 The user can input event data in the data input module 30, i.e., the data unit 301 and the input unit 302, according to the business logic, and can select the operation algorithm and the result type in the calculation unit 401, and can select the branch condition and the number of branch conditions that need to be met in the branch unit 402. In addition, the user can also select the static time, delay trigger time, control type, number of controlled objects, and the number of controlled objects (e.g., ), in addition, you can also choose to set object animation in the 3D scene, modify the material ball of objects in the 3D scene, modify the lighting of objects in the 3D scene, and modify the basic properties of objects in the 3D scene in the object basic information list.

[0043] Further, refer to Figure 3 , a Bezier curve can be used to connect the output end of the data unit 301 and the input unit 302 and the input end of the calculation unit 401 and the branch unit 402. Similarly, a Bezier curve can be used to connect the output end of the calculation unit 401 and the branch unit 402 and the input end of the object control module 50.

[0044] It should be further explained that any number of events can be added to the Unity3D-based event visualization construction system of the present invention, one event completes a business logic, and each event must select an object in a three-dimensional scene as the object associated with the event trigger module 10 to trigger the operation of the Unity3D-based event visualization construction system of the present invention; in addition, it should be explained that the control data output by the object control module 50 can generate a C# script file in the project directory, and the script can be mounted on the objects in the three-dimensional scene, thereby, the objects in the three-dimensional scene are controlled by the business logic of the event to perform actions.

[0045] The beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows:
