[0002] In existing methods for generating virtual plants, to realize the growth process of plants, it is necessary to create a specific model, and then achieve the specific effect through skinning, rigging, and adjusting animation.

[0003] However, this method has a high performance overhead, which makes the system more burdened; at the same time, the production cycle is long, which makes the generation efficiency of virtual plants low.

[0004] It should be noted that the information in the background section above is only used to enhance the understanding of the background of this disclosure, and therefore may include information that does not constitute prior art known to those skilled in the art. Summary of the Invention

[0040] Example embodiments will now be described more fully with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, example embodiments can be implemented in many forms and should not be construed as limited to the examples set forth herein; rather, these embodiments are provided to make this disclosure more comprehensive and complete, and to fully convey the concept of the example embodiments to those skilled in the art. The described features, structures, or characteristics can be combined in any suitable manner in one or more embodiments. In the following description, numerous specific details are provided to give a full understanding of embodiments of this disclosure. However, those skilled in the art will recognize that the technical solutions of this disclosure can be practiced with one or more of the specific details omitted, or other methods, components, apparatus, steps, etc., can be employed. In other instances, well-known technical solutions are not shown or described in detail to avoid obscuring various aspects of this disclosure.

[0041] Furthermore, the accompanying drawings are merely illustrative of this disclosure and are not necessarily drawn to scale. The same reference numerals in the drawings denote the same or similar parts, and therefore repeated descriptions of them will be omitted. Some block diagrams shown in the drawings are functional entities and do not necessarily correspond to physically or logically independent entities. These functional entities may be implemented in software, in one or more hardware modules or integrated circuits, or in different network and / or processor devices and / or microcontroller devices.

[0042] Achieving plant growth and binding effects around the model using existing methods is quite complex. Specifically, it requires first creating a model, and then using skinning, rigging, and adjusting the animation to achieve the desired effect.

[0043] However, the above solutions have the following drawbacks: First, the model size of existing technologies is fixed. Once skinning, rigging bones, and adjusting animation are done, modifying the model will cause repetitive work and increase the workload. Second, when the vines are long, more bones need to be rigging, which makes the animation debugging process complicated. Third, the performance overhead is large, the production cycle is long, and the process is tedious and complicated.

[0044] Based on this, this exemplary embodiment first provides a method for generating virtual plants, which can run on terminal devices, servers, server clusters, or cloud servers, etc. Of course, those skilled in the art can also run the method disclosed herein on other platforms as needed, and this exemplary embodiment does not impose any special limitations on this. Specifically, refer to... Figure 1 As shown, the method for generating this virtual plant may include the following steps:

[0045] Step S110. Unwrap the UVs of the original virtual plant model to obtain the basic UV map, and obtain the world space vertex normal data and world position offset data of the original virtual plant model.

[0046] Step S120. Determine the first model parameters, the second model parameters, and the third model parameters based on the base UV map, world space vertex normal data, and world position offset data;

[0047] Step S130. Generate material data for the original virtual plant model based on the first model parameters, the second model parameters, and the third model parameters;

[0048] Step S140. Render the original virtual plant model based on the material data to obtain the target virtual plant.

[0049] In the aforementioned method for generating virtual plants, on the one hand, the original virtual plant model is UV unwrapped to obtain a basic UV map, and the world space vertex normal data and world position offset data of the original virtual plant model are obtained; then, based on the basic UV map, world space vertex normal data, and world position offset data, the first model parameters, the second model parameters, and the third model parameters are determined; then, material data for the virtual plant model is generated based on the first model parameters, the second model parameters, and the third model parameters; finally, the original virtual plant model is rendered based on the material data to obtain the target virtual plant. The target virtual plant can be obtained without skinning, rigging, and animation adjustments, reducing the system's performance overhead and thus solving the problem of heavy system burden caused by using existing technologies; on the other hand, since the target virtual plant can be obtained without skinning, rigging, and animation adjustments, the generation efficiency of virtual plants is improved.

[0050] The following will provide a detailed explanation and description of the method for generating virtual plants according to an example embodiment of this disclosure, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0051] First, the terms used in the exemplary embodiments of this disclosure will be explained.

[0052] UV refers to texture information distribution coordinates, which has two coordinate axes, U and V. UV is essential data for rendering 3D models; it can be understood as the "skin" of a 3D model. This "skin" is unfolded and then drawn on a 2D plane to be applied to the object. Furthermore, each vertex of a 3D model has its corresponding UV texture coordinates. In practical applications, 3D models typically have texture maps used for drawing surfaces. UV is the rule for drawing textures on the object's surface. Based on the UV coordinates of the vertices, the texture map is sampled to complete the texture rendering of the model's surface.

[0053] VertexNormalWS: World space vertex normals, which can be used to perform material input in the vertex shader.

[0054] World Position Offset: This allows you to manipulate the vertices of a model in world space using materials, enabling effects such as movement, shape deformation, and rotation.

[0055] SmoothStep: A smooth step function that can be used to generate smooth transition values ​​from 0 to 1.

[0056] OneMinus: Reverse, meaning color reversed.

[0057] Secondly, the inventive purpose of the exemplary embodiments of this disclosure will be explained and described. Specifically, the virtual plant generation method described in the exemplary embodiments of this disclosure can be used to realize the generation, growth, and binding effects of virtual plants; furthermore, the virtual plant generation method described in the exemplary embodiments of this disclosure is applicable to 3D games on mobile and PC terminals; in practical applications, functions such as model UV coordinates, VertexNormalWS, WorldPositionOffset, and SmoothStep are required; among them, UV is the coordinate information of the model texture distribution, belonging to a two-dimensional coordinate system where U is horizontal and V is vertical; the VertexNormalWS expression outputs the world space vertex normals, which can only be used for material input executed in the vertex shader; World Position Offset can be understood as the world position offset, allowing the manipulation of the model's vertices in world space through materials, causing the model to move, deform, rotate, and produce other effects; SmoothStep can be used to generate a smooth transition value from 0 to 1, also called a smooth step function; Max can be simply understood as comparing two values ​​and taking the maximum value.

[0058] Furthermore, in practical applications, the exemplary embodiments of this disclosure calculate the black, white, and gray textures, and then use a combination of VertexNormalWS (model world space vertex normals) and World Position Offset to control the size and thickness of the model. At the same time, by comparing the calculated black, white, and gray values ​​of the model with fixed values, when the values ​​are less than 0, the parts below 0 are clipped, and the position of the black, white, and gray textures is offset to control the growth process and disappearance of the model.

[0059] Furthermore, in the method for generating virtual plants provided in the exemplary embodiments of this disclosure:

[0060] In step S110, the original virtual plant model is UV unwrapped to obtain the basic UV map, and the world space vertex normal data and world position offset data of the original virtual plant model are obtained.

[0061] In this example embodiment, firstly, an original virtual plant model is obtained; wherein, the original virtual plant model described herein may be a vine model with a twining effect, as detailed in the following reference. Figure 2As shown; meanwhile, the vine model with a winding effect described here is pre-generated using a corresponding game engine; of course, in actual applications, a corresponding original virtual plant model can also be created in the game engine according to actual needs, and this example does not impose any special restrictions on this; secondly, the original virtual plant model can be UV unwrapped to obtain a basic UV map. Specifically, in the process of UV unwrapping, that is, unfolding the original virtual plant model from a 3D model into a 2D plane, the basic UV map can be obtained; the obtained basic UV map can be referenced. Figure 2 As shown. Further, in order to generate material data for the original virtual plant model, it is also necessary to obtain the world space vertex normal (Vertex NormalWS) data and world position offset data of the original virtual plant. The world space vertex normal data described here can be used to control the model's scaling, and the world position offset data described here can be used to control the model's displacement and deformation.

[0062] In step S120, the first model parameters, the second model parameters, and the third model parameters are determined based on the base UV map, world space vertex normal data, and world position offset data.

[0063] In this example embodiment, the first model parameter, the second model parameter, and the third model parameter are determined based on the base UV map, world space vertex normal data, and world position offset data. This can be achieved as follows: In response to the assignment operation on the base UV map, world space vertex normal data, and world position offset data, the first model parameter corresponding to the base UV map, the second model parameter corresponding to the world space vertex normal data, and the third model parameter corresponding to the world position offset data are determined. The first model parameter described here can be used to characterize the grayscale values ​​of the original virtual plant model, the second model parameter can be used to characterize the scaling degree of the original virtual plant model, and the third model parameter can be used to characterize the displacement deformation degree of the original virtual plant model. That is, the first model parameter can be used to control the grayscale level required by the original virtual plant model, the second model parameter can be used to control the scaling degree of the original virtual model, and the third model parameter can be used to control the displacement deformation of the original virtual model. Through the first model parameter, the second model parameter, and the third model parameter, one or more virtual plants with different shapes, different color levels, and different thicknesses can be obtained.

[0064] The following will explain and illustrate the specific generation process of the first model parameters, the second model parameters, and the third model parameters with specific examples and embodiments. Specifically:

[0065] In one example embodiment, in response to the assignment operation on the base UV map, a first model parameter corresponding to the base UV map is determined. This can be achieved as follows: First, a first model material corresponding to the original virtual plant model is obtained, and in response to the assignment operation on the original virtual plant model, the first model material is assigned to the original virtual plant model to obtain a first intermediate model; second, the base UV map is subjected to coordinate separation to obtain horizontal UV information and vertical UV information, and in response to the assignment operation on the vertical UV information in the base UV map, a first difference between the vertical UV information and a first preset parameter is calculated; finally, the first V channel value included in the first intermediate model is replaced using the first difference to obtain the first model parameter.

[0066] In one example embodiment, the first model parameters described above may include a first black model texture parameter, a first gray model texture parameter, and a first white model texture parameter, etc.; the first preset parameters described above may include a first sub-preset parameter corresponding to the first black model texture parameter, a second sub-preset parameter corresponding to the first gray model texture parameter, and a third sub-preset parameter corresponding to the first white model texture parameter, etc.; based on this, calculating the first difference between the vertical UV information and the first preset parameter can be achieved in the following ways: calculating the first sub-difference between the vertical UV information and the first preset sub-parameter; and / or calculating the second sub-difference between the vertical UV information and the second preset sub-parameter; and / or calculating the third sub-difference between the vertical UV information and the third preset sub-parameter. Furthermore, under this premise, the first model parameters are obtained by replacing the first V channel value included in the first intermediate model with the first difference. This can be achieved in the following ways: on the one hand, the first V channel value included in the first intermediate model is replaced with the first sub-difference to obtain the first black model texture parameters; on the other hand, the first V channel value included in the first intermediate model is replaced with the second sub-difference to obtain the first gray model texture parameters; and on yet another hand, the first V channel value included in the first intermediate model is replaced with the third sub-difference to obtain the first white model texture parameters.

[0067] The following will further explain and illustrate the specific generation process of the first model parameters. Specifically, the original virtual plant model can be imported into a game engine; the game engine mentioned here can include, but is not limited to, Unreal Engine 4, Unity Engine, or Maya Engine, etc.; then, a new material is created in the game engine and assigned to the model, generating the corresponding first model parameters. In practical applications, firstly, the first model material is assigned to the original virtual plant model, thus obtaining, as shown... Figure 3 The first intermediate model is shown; secondly, coordinate separation is performed on the base UV map to extract horizontal and vertical UV information; further, in response to the assignment operation on the vertical UV information in the base UV map, the first difference between the vertical UV information and the first preset parameter is calculated; wherein, the first preset parameter described here can be used to dynamically control the changes in black, white, and gray of the model; that is, in order to obtain first intermediate models of different colors, different first preset parameters can be set here, and then plant models with different degrees of black, white, and gray can be generated through different first preset parameters. For example, refer to Figure 4 As shown, when the first preset parameter is the third sub-parameter corresponding to the first white model texture, the specific value of the third sub-parameter can be -0.5; when the first preset parameter is the second sub-parameter corresponding to the first gray model texture, the specific value of the second sub-parameter can be 0.5; when the first preset parameter is the first sub-parameter corresponding to the first black model texture, the specific value of the first sub-parameter can be 1.

[0068] Furthermore, in practical applications, to obtain the first white model texture parameters, one can subtract -0.5 from the vertical UV information to obtain the result. Figure 4 The white plant model shown here is obtained by subtracting -0.5 from the vertical UV information, which is equivalent to subtracting -0.5 from the V channel value in the base UV map and adding 0.5 to the V channel value in the base UV map. The specific calculation process for the gray and black models is similar and will not be described further here.

[0069] In one example embodiment, in practical applications, to achieve the special effects of plants during their growth process, it is also necessary to achieve the special effects of plants appearing from nothing. Specifically, refer to... Figure 5 As shown, achieving the special effect of a plant appearing from nothing can include the following steps:

[0070] Step S510: Perform color inversion processing on the first black model texture parameters, the first gray model texture parameters, and the first white model texture parameters to obtain the second white model texture parameters, the second gray model texture parameters, and the second black model texture parameters.

[0071] Step S520: Assign the second white model texture parameters, the second gray model texture parameters, and the second black model texture parameters to the second model material corresponding to the first model material to obtain the third white model texture parameters, the third gray model texture parameters, and the third black model texture parameters.

[0072] Step S530: Calculate the difference between the second preset parameter and the three white model texture parameters, the third gray model texture parameters and the third black model texture parameters to obtain black model textures with different shapes.

[0073] The following will explain and illustrate steps S510-S530. Specifically, firstly, the color inversion processing is performed on the first black model texture parameters, the first gray model texture parameters, and the first white model texture parameters to obtain the following: Figure 6 The diagram shows white, gray, and black models; the color inversion described here is also known as OneMinus, meaning black to white or white to black, etc.; next, the second model material is assigned texture parameters to the second white model, the second gray model, and the second black model, thereby obtaining the third white model, the third gray model, and the third black model texture parameters; the second model material described here is essentially the first model material whose mode is changed from a transparent template to an opaque template (Opacity). The parameters are obtained by masking the second white model texture, the second gray model texture, and the second black model texture. Then, the parameters are connected to the second model material to obtain the third white model texture, the third gray model texture, and the third black model texture. Furthermore, in order to control the appearance of the model through the second preset parameters, it is necessary to display the parts of the V channel values ​​in the third white model texture, the third gray model texture, and the third black model texture parameters that are greater than zero, and to clip the parts that are less than zero, thereby realizing the process of the model appearing from nothing, that is, multiple black model textures with different shapes can be obtained. The specific details of the obtained black model textures can be found in [reference needed]. Figure 7 As shown. Furthermore, in Figure 7 The black models shown have different shapes. By subtracting different second preset parameters, black models of different sizes can be obtained. In actual applications, different second preset parameters can be set according to actual needs. This is just an example and there are no special restrictions on this.

[0074] In one example embodiment, in response to the assignment operation on the world space vertex normal data and world position offset data, determining the second model parameter corresponding to the world space vertex normal data and the third model parameter corresponding to the world position offset data can be achieved as follows: First, the second U-channel value and the second V-channel value included in the first model parameter are smoothed based on a preset smooth transition function to obtain intermediate parameters; second, in response to the assignment operation on the world space vertex normal data, the product between the world space vertex normal data and the first preset scaling factor is calculated to obtain the second model parameter, and the product operation result between the second model parameter and the intermediate parameter is calculated; finally, in response to the assignment operation on the world position offset data, the product operation result is fused with the world position offset data to perform displacement processing on the product operation result through the world position offset data to obtain the third model parameter.

[0075] The following will explain the specific generation process of the second and third model parameters. Specifically, firstly, the second U-channel and second V-channel values ​​included in the first model parameters are smoothed using a smoothing transition function (SmoothStep), thus obtaining... Figure 8The plant model shown can be implemented as follows during the smooth transition process: First, set a maximum and minimum value limit; the maximum value is set to 1.2 and the minimum value to 0. Of course, in actual applications, these can be set according to specific needs; this example does not impose any special restrictions. Second, use SmoothStep to achieve a smooth transition, obtaining multiple smooth transition values. If the smooth transition value is greater than 1.2, it is replaced with 1.2; if the smooth transition value is less than 0, it is replaced with 0, thus obtaining intermediate parameters. Then, calculate the product (Multiply) between the world space vertex normal (Vertex Normal WS) and the first preset scaling factor (Scale_01) to obtain the second model parameters. The second model parameters described here can be considered as scaling the entire model. That is, the scaling of the model can be controlled by multiplying the changes in the model's position values ​​by the scaling factor, then calculating the product (Multiply) between the second model parameters and the intermediate parameters, and finally connecting the product result to the World Position Offset (i.e., through WorldPosition). The Offset (scales the tail of the second product result) is used to obtain the third model parameters. The reason for connecting the product result to the World Position Offset is to scale the tail of the model corresponding to the product result. It's worth noting that translating the model serves two main purposes: one is to depict the process of the model appearing from nothing; the other is to change the grayscale values ​​on the model's surface, multiplying them by a scaling factor to achieve scaling at different positions. Based on this, by translating the texture, the model can be scaled to achieve the desired virtual plant.

[0076] In one example embodiment, in practical applications, it is also necessary to consider the overall thickness of the virtual plant's vines and the issue of the head and tail not shrinking and closing after overall enlargement or reduction. Based on this, the method for generating the virtual plant may further include: performing displacement processing on the third U-channel value and the third V-channel value included in the third model parameters based on a third preset parameter to obtain a texture displacement processing result, and determining whether the fourth U-channel value and the fourth V-channel value included in the texture displacement processing result are greater than a preset threshold; when it is determined that any fourth U-channel value and / or fourth V-channel value included in the texture displacement processing result is greater than the preset threshold, controlling the texture at the tail position in the texture displacement processing result. That is, in practical applications, firstly, the U-channel value and V-channel value included in the first texture processing result are displacement processed based on the third preset parameter to obtain... Figure 9The second texture displacement processing result is shown; the third preset parameter described here can be used to control the size and thickness of the model; furthermore, in practical applications, multiplying by a negative number can achieve the shrinkage and closure of the model's head. For example, in Figure 9 In the example diagram shown, the third preset parameter can be set to -20, -10, and 0.5, etc., and the resulting texture displacement processing results are as follows: Figure 9 The corresponding part is shown in the image; simultaneously, by multiplying by the first preset parameter, it can be seen that when the value exceeds a certain range, the top of the model will scale in the opposite direction; to avoid this problem, a restriction needs to be placed on the tail of the model to ensure that this situation does not occur at the tail; that is, in practical applications, it can be controlled in the following way: first, a fixed black-white-gray gradient can be added to the tail, and then a Max comparison can be used. When the scaling value exceeds a certain range, the maximum value is taken, thus ensuring that the model will not scale in the opposite direction; finally, the values ​​of the model are adjusted to obtain models with different thicknesses; the scene example image of the virtual plant appearing from nothing can be referred to. Figure 10 As shown.

[0077] In one example embodiment, during practical application, the maximum value (End_Max) and minimum value (End_Min) of the U channel and V channel values ​​at the tail position included in the second texture displacement processing result can be obtained. Then, a smooth transition processing is performed, and the result of the smooth transition processing is compared with the second model texture by Max. After obtaining the maximum value, it is multiplied by the second model parameters to obtain the corresponding product operation result. Then, the product operation result is connected to World PositionOffset, which can perform displacement processing on the tail of the texture corresponding to the product operation result, thereby ensuring that the model will not scale backward.

[0078] At this point, the specific control process for the model's growth has been fully implemented. Further, to increase model diversity, it's necessary to add model size scaling to control the overall model thickness. The specific control process for the overall model thickness can be achieved as follows: First, calculate the product of the world space vertex normal (WS) data and the required scaling factor Scale_02. Then, sum the product results obtained by multiplying the maximum value by the second model parameter and the product results obtained by combining the world space vertex normal data and the required scaling factor Scale_02. Finally, connect the sum to the World PositionOffset to achieve overall thickness and tail thickness control. The obtained overall control results can be referenced... Figure 11 As shown.

[0079] In step S130, material data for the original virtual plant model is generated based on the first model parameters, the second model parameters, and the third model parameters.

[0080] Specifically, after obtaining the first, second, and third model parameters mentioned above, material data corresponding to the original virtual plant model can be generated based on these parameters. It should be noted that the first model parameter can characterize the grayscale level of the original virtual plant model, the second model parameter can characterize the scaling degree of the original virtual plant model, and the third model parameter can characterize the displacement and deformation degree of the original virtual plant model. Therefore, the material data generated based on these parameters has already defined the original virtual plant model from multiple different dimensions, including grayscale level, scaling degree, and deformation degree. This allows for the generation of appropriate material data according to actual needs, improving the accuracy of the obtained material data while reducing the system load, thereby improving the accuracy of the resulting target virtual plant.

[0081] In step S140, the original virtual plant model is rendered based on the material data to obtain the target virtual plant.
