[0031] Figure 1 A schematic diagram of an exemplary terminal device to which a method and an apparatus for displaying a game avatar according to an embodiment of the present disclosure can be applied is shown.

[0032] like Figure 1 As shown, the terminal device may include one or more of terminal devices 101, 102, and 103. Terminal devices 101, 102, and 103 may be various electronic devices with display screens, including but not limited to desktop computers, portable computers, smart phones, and tablet computers.

[0033] Terminal 101 may be a terminal device used by the current user to control his own virtual character, and terminals 102 and 103 may be other terminal devices used to control other virtual characters in the same camp as the above virtual character. The terminal devices are all connected to server 104 .

[0034] The computer-readable storage medium shown in the present disclosure may be a computer-readable signal medium or a computer-readable storage medium or any combination of the above two. The computer-readable storage medium carries one or more programs. When the above one or more programs are executed by a terminal device, the terminal device implements the method described in the following embodiments. For example, the terminal device may implement the following method. Figure 2The various steps shown, etc.

[0035] In the exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure, the virtual scene can be a digital scene drawn by a computer, mobile phone, tablet computer or other intelligent terminal device through digital communication technology. The digital scene can be on the display screen of the intelligent terminal device or projected onto other display devices. The virtual scene can include buildings or structures such as houses, buildings, gardens, bridges, and pools, and can also include natural landscapes such as mountains, rivers, and lakes, as well as any virtual items and virtual props such as weapons, tools, and creatures. This exemplary embodiment does not specifically limit this.

[0036] This example embodiment provides a method for displaying a game avatar. Figure 2 As shown, a graphical user interface is provided by a terminal device, and the content displayed by the graphical user interface at least partially includes a virtual scene of the game, and the virtual scene includes at least one virtual character. The method includes:

[0037] Step S210: In response to a selection operation on a target virtual character, sending an avatar query request to a server, so that the server queries whether there is a target two-dimensional avatar corresponding to the target virtual character;

[0038] Step S220: when the server finds that the target two-dimensional avatar exists, download the target two-dimensional avatar to the terminal device, and display the target two-dimensional avatar on the graphical user interface;

[0039] Step S230: When the server finds that the target two-dimensional avatar does not exist, the avatar provided by the terminal device is displayed on the graphical user interface.

[0040] Implementation Figure 2 The game avatar display method shown can respond to a selection operation on a target virtual character by sending an avatar query request to a server, so that the server queries whether there is a target two-dimensional avatar corresponding to the target virtual character; when the server queries that the target two-dimensional avatar exists, the target two-dimensional avatar is downloaded to the terminal device and displayed on the graphical user interface; when the server queries that the target two-dimensional avatar does not exist, the avatar provided by the terminal device is displayed on the graphical user interface. The game avatar display method provided by the present disclosure sends an avatar query request to the server, and when the server queries that the target two-dimensional avatar exists, the target two-dimensional avatar is downloaded and displayed. On the one hand, the terminal device does not need to generate a new avatar, which reduces the rendering pressure of the terminal device and improves the device performance; on the other hand, it does not need to pre-store the rendered target two-dimensional avatar of the target virtual character, which can save the device's memory.

[0041] Next, the above steps of this exemplary embodiment are described in more detail.

[0042] In step S210, in response to a selection operation on a target virtual character, an avatar query request is sent to a server, so that the server queries whether there is a target two-dimensional avatar corresponding to the target virtual character.

[0043] In the disclosed embodiment, there may be at least one virtual character in the virtual scene, and the upper left corner of the graphical user interface or other places are used to display the avatar of the virtual character. It is understandable that generally, the relevant information of the virtual character including the avatar, name and other attribute information is displayed in the interface. However, similarly, it may be other virtual objects in the virtual scene, including monsters, non-player characters (NPCs) and other entities. The disclosed embodiment is not limited here.

[0044] The selection operation may be, for example, a click or long press operation on a graphical user interface, or the above operation on an external input device (mouse, keyboard, handle, etc.) connected to the terminal.

[0045] In the disclosed embodiment, the avatar files of the virtual characters can all be stored in the server, and the terminal device sends a query request to the server for query. The query request can include a tag of the target virtual character to query a specific virtual character.

[0046] In step S220, when the server finds that the target two-dimensional avatar exists, the server downloads the target two-dimensional avatar to the terminal device and displays the target two-dimensional avatar on the graphical user interface.

[0047] In the disclosed embodiment, when the server receives a query request, it can query the avatar file of the target virtual character in the database. When the avatar file of the target virtual character is found, it can be directly sent to the terminal device. After the terminal device downloads it, it is displayed at a preset position of the graphical user interface. For example, Figure 3 As shown, the graphical user interface 310 is entirely used to display the screen of the virtual scene. In the upper left corner of the graphical user interface 310, an avatar 311 of the virtual character A and an avatar 312 of the virtual character B are displayed.

[0048] In step S230, when the server finds that the target two-dimensional avatar does not exist, the avatar provided by the terminal device is displayed on the graphical user interface.

[0049] In the disclosed embodiment, if no relevant avatar file is found in the server, the avatar provided by the terminal device is used for display. Considering that the terminal devices of different players are different, the avatars provided for display by the terminal devices with different hardware parameters are different.

[0050] Specifically, the terminal device includes a first terminal device whose hardware parameters meet a first preset condition and a second terminal device whose hardware parameters meet a second preset condition. When the terminal device is the first terminal device, a two-dimensional avatar rendered in real time by the first terminal device is displayed on the graphical user interface; or when the terminal device is the second terminal device, a three-dimensional avatar pre-generated in the second terminal device is displayed.

[0051] Among them, terminal devices with better hardware parameters are classified as first terminal devices, and terminal devices with poorer hardware parameters are classified as second terminal devices. The reason for distinguishing the first terminal device from the second terminal device is that the two-dimensional image rendered by the first terminal device is clear and has a good display effect, while the second terminal device, as a terminal with poor performance, if it also renders and generates a two-dimensional image like the first terminal device, the generated image quality may be low and the display on the image user interface will be less clear.

[0052] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, there are multiple ways to determine whether a terminal device is a first terminal device that meets the first preset condition or a second terminal device that meets the second preset condition. For example, there may be a preset list to match the device information of the terminal device, such as model information, processor information, etc., with the preset list. If the model of the current terminal can match any model in the preset list, it is deemed to meet the first preset condition and is considered to belong to the first terminal device. If it does not match, it is deemed to meet the second preset condition and is considered to belong to the second terminal device. Alternatively, a threshold value of a key performance parameter of the device is set. When the value of the key performance parameter of the device exceeds the threshold, it is deemed to meet the first preset condition and is the first terminal device. When it does not exceed the threshold, it is deemed to meet the second preset condition and is the second terminal device. The embodiments of the present disclosure do not limit how to set the preset conditions, and the hardware parameters can be evaluated accordingly according to the actual application scenario.

[0053] For the first terminal device, when the server queries that the target two-dimensional avatar does not exist, it is necessary to display the two-dimensional avatar rendered in real time by the first terminal device. Therefore, the method also includes: the first terminal device performs real-time rendering based on the model resource information of the target virtual character to generate the two-dimensional avatar of a preset image size.

[0054] Specifically, the first terminal device performs real-time rendering through the real-time rendering node CCRenderNode of the game rendering engine according to the model resource information of the virtual character. The model resource information may be the resource information when the virtual character is created, and finally generates a two-dimensional image of the current virtual character model, and displays the two-dimensional image as a two-dimensional avatar on the graphical user interface.

[0055] It is understandable that the size of the two-dimensional image generated by rendering can be limited, for example, set to 100px*100px or other sizes to avoid the image being too large, resulting in excessive storage space being occupied, and consuming too much traffic during transmission between the server and the terminal.

[0056] In addition, the two-dimensional avatars that need to be rendered by the first terminal device will be stored in the terminal, and will continue to accumulate as the number of virtual characters increases. Therefore, the number of two-dimensional avatar files stored in the terminal can also be limited, for example, it can be one thousand, and when it exceeds one thousand, the two-dimensional images with earlier timestamps will be deleted.

[0057] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the method further includes: the first terminal device uploading the two-dimensional avatar to the server, so that the server queries whether there is a target two-dimensional avatar corresponding to the target virtual character.

[0058] Specifically, in order to share the rendered two-dimensional avatar with the server, the first terminal device can upload the rendered two-dimensional image to the server, and the server stores the image. In this way, other terminal devices can send an avatar query request to the server to obtain the target two-dimensional avatar corresponding to the target virtual character.

[0059] According to the contents of the above embodiments, it can be obtained as follows Figure 4 As shown in the flowchart. Figure 4 As shown, the user selects a virtual character (or other virtual objects) through the first terminal device and queries the server. When a two-dimensional avatar is found, it is directly downloaded from the server for use; if there is no two-dimensional avatar, the rendering node of the virtual engine generates a two-dimensional avatar, which is displayed on the graphical user interface of the first terminal device and uploaded to the server at the same time.

[0060] For the second terminal device, when the server queries that the target two-dimensional avatar does not exist, it is necessary to display the three-dimensional avatar pre-generated in the second terminal device. Therefore, the method also includes: the second terminal device loads the three-dimensional model of the target virtual character; performs skeleton disabling processing or character stillness processing on the three-dimensional model to obtain a static three-dimensional model; and cuts the static three-dimensional model according to preset cutting nodes to generate the three-dimensional avatar.

[0061] Specifically, firstly, a virtual camera can be set in a virtual scene to obtain a picture of a three-dimensional model of a virtual character. For different virtual characters, parameters of the virtual camera such as position and direction can be adjusted to load a three-dimensional model.

[0062] Since the process of rendering a two-dimensional avatar is also based on the target virtual character model in the virtual scene, and the virtual character model is likely to have dynamic movements including turning the head and blinking, etc., which will cause the generated two-dimensional avatar to be unstable, so during the rendering process, the bones in the animation file of the virtual character model corresponding to the avatar are disabled or the virtual character is controlled to be still, and a static three-dimensional model can be obtained.

[0063] Finally, you can use the cocos2d-x cropping node to crop out part of the target area to obtain a small head, half-length or full-length head of the three-dimensional model.

[0064] According to the contents of the above embodiments, it can be obtained as follows Figure 5 As shown in the flowchart. Figure 5 As shown, the user selects a virtual character (or other virtual objects) through the second terminal device and queries the server. When a two-dimensional avatar is found, it is directly downloaded from the server for use; if there is no two-dimensional avatar, a pre-generated three-dimensional avatar is used.

[0065] It should be noted that a plurality of terminal devices may share the same server, and the plurality of terminal devices may include a first terminal device with better hardware parameters, and may also include a second terminal device with worse hardware parameters.

[0066] Among them, only the first terminal device can render a two-dimensional avatar by itself and upload it to the server when the server does not have a two-dimensional avatar. At this time, the server stores the two-dimensional avatar of the virtual character. If the user selects the virtual character again in the second terminal device and needs to display the avatar of the virtual character, the server can query the existence of the two-dimensional avatar and then download it for use. Even if the second terminal device queries the server and finds that there is no two-dimensional avatar, it cannot render it and still uses the three-dimensional avatar.

[0067] According to the contents of the above embodiments, the contents of the embodiments are combined. Figure 6 As shown in the flowchart. Figure 6 As shown, the rendering node of the virtual engine of the first terminal device generates a two-dimensional avatar, which is displayed on the graphical user interface of the first terminal device and uploaded to the server. Afterwards, if the second terminal device selects the same virtual character as the first terminal device, the two-dimensional avatar generated by the first terminal device can be downloaded from the server.

[0068] Based on the above method, on the one hand, when a two-dimensional avatar of a virtual character exists in the server, it can be directly downloaded and used, reducing the pressure on the terminal device to render the two-dimensional avatar; on the other hand, the server and the terminal device only circulate the two-dimensional avatar rendered by the first terminal device with better hardware parameters, which can avoid the problem of low display quality of the overall avatar due to poor performance in generating two-dimensional avatars, thereby improving the user experience.

[0069] In the present disclosure, a method for implementing a game avatar display method is also proposed. The method further includes:

[0070] In response to the avatar modification operation on the target virtual character, an avatar deletion request is sent to the server, so that the server deletes the stored target two-dimensional avatar corresponding to the target virtual character.

[0071] Specifically, when any terminal device modifies the appearance of the virtual character model, or performs other operations that cause the appearance of the virtual character to change, the server is notified to delete the stored avatar file of the virtual character. In this way, when the user selects the virtual character on any terminal, the avatar file corresponding to the previous appearance of the virtual character will not be downloaded after querying the server.

[0072] By implementing the embodiments of the present disclosure, the avatar file corresponding to the target virtual character stored in the server is deleted in response to the modification operation on the target virtual character. This can avoid the displayed avatar being different from the actual appearance of the virtual character; and the first terminal device can generate the latest two-dimensional avatar of the virtual character as quickly as possible, and each terminal can obtain it and display it, thereby improving the timeliness of the avatar display.

[0073] In the present disclosure, an implementation of a method for displaying a game avatar is also proposed. After downloading the target two-dimensional avatar to the terminal device, the method further includes: querying whether there is another target two-dimensional avatar corresponding to the target virtual character in the local cache of the terminal device; obtaining the download timestamp of the target two-dimensional avatar and the cache timestamp of the other target two-dimensional avatar; comparing the download timestamp and the cache timestamp, and selecting the latest target two-dimensional avatar for display.

[0074] Specifically, after the terminal device has downloaded the two-dimensional avatar, but another two-dimensional avatar is stored in the local cache of the terminal device, in order to ensure the real-time display of the avatar, it is necessary to compare the timestamps of the two avatars and display the latest two-dimensional avatar, which can improve the real-time display of the character avatar.

[0075] Furthermore, in this example implementation, a game avatar display device is also provided.

[0076] A graphical user interface is provided through a terminal device, wherein the content displayed by the graphical user interface at least partially includes a virtual scene of the game, and the virtual scene includes at least one virtual character. Figure 7 As shown, the game avatar display device 700 may include:

[0077] A query module 701 is used to respond to a selection operation on a target virtual character and send an avatar query request to a server so that the server queries whether there is a target two-dimensional avatar corresponding to the target virtual character;

[0078] A first display module 702 is used to download the target two-dimensional avatar to the terminal device and display the target two-dimensional avatar on the graphical user interface when the server finds that the target two-dimensional avatar exists;

[0079] The second display module 703 is used to display the avatar provided by the terminal device on the graphical user interface when the server finds that the target two-dimensional avatar does not exist.

[0080] In an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, the terminal device includes a first terminal device whose hardware parameters meet a first preset condition and a second terminal device whose hardware parameters meet a second preset condition, and the second display module 703 includes a first unit and a second unit, the first unit being used to display a two-dimensional avatar rendered in real time by the first terminal device on the graphical user interface when the terminal device is a first terminal device; the second unit being used to display a three-dimensional avatar pre-generated in the second terminal device when the terminal device is a second terminal device.

[0081] In an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, the first unit is also used for, before displaying the two-dimensional avatar rendered in real time by the first terminal device, the first terminal device performs real-time rendering based on the model resource information of the target virtual character to generate the two-dimensional avatar of a preset image size.

[0082] In an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, the first unit is also used for the first terminal device to upload the two-dimensional avatar to the server, so that the server queries whether there is a target two-dimensional avatar corresponding to the target virtual character.

[0083] In an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, the second unit is also used for, before displaying the three-dimensional avatar pre-generated in the second terminal device, the second terminal device loads the three-dimensional model of the target virtual character; performs skeleton disabling processing or character stillness processing on the three-dimensional model to obtain a static three-dimensional model; and cuts the static three-dimensional model according to preset cutting nodes to generate the three-dimensional avatar.

[0084] In an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, the device is further used to: in response to an avatar modification operation acting on the target virtual character, send an avatar deletion request to the server, so that the server deletes the stored target two-dimensional avatar corresponding to the target virtual character.

[0085] In an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, the device is also used to: after downloading the target two-dimensional avatar to the terminal device, query whether there is another target two-dimensional avatar corresponding to the target virtual character in the local cache of the terminal device; obtain the download timestamp of the target two-dimensional avatar and the cache timestamp of the other target two-dimensional avatar; compare the download timestamp and the cache timestamp, and select the latest target two-dimensional avatar for display.
