Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of Unity3d engine technology, and more particularly to the development of a light and shadow interaction system. Background Technology

[0002] With the rapid development of digital technology, interactive light and shadow technology, with its unique interactivity and immersive experience, has been widely used in exhibitions, education and training, and commercial advertising. Currently, some interactive light and shadow systems exist on the market, but they still need improvement in terms of ease of use, development efficiency, and the diversity of effects.

[0003] Meanwhile, the Unity3D engine, with its powerful cross-platform support, efficient rendering capabilities, and rich plugin ecosystem, provides a solid foundation for the development of interactive lighting and shadow applications. Developing interactive lighting and shadow systems using the Unity3D engine has become a reality.

[0004] However, developing a lighting and shadow interaction system directly based on the Unity3D engine is quite complex. The development process encompasses multiple stages, including project planning, environment setup, asset creation, prefab creation, scene building, UI design, game logic programming, AI programming, physical animation implementation, testing and optimization, build and release, and feedback iteration. Game logic programming, in particular, demands a high level of technical expertise from developers, and this process is generally only suitable for professionals. In short, the existing workflow for developing lighting and shadow interaction systems based on the Unity3D engine is not suitable for those who have not systematically learned the Unity3D engine. Of course, there are visual programming tools available now, such as PlayerMaker and Bolt, but using these tools also requires a programming mindset.

[0005] However, the main users of interactive lighting systems are typically professionals in fields such as exhibitions, education and training, and commercial advertising. Most of them lack systematic training in the Unity3D engine and do not possess programming skills. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a technology that allows even those without programming experience to develop interactive lighting systems. Summary of the Invention

[0074] It's worth noting that the Unity3D engine is indeed a very powerful and easy-to-use game development platform, offering a wealth of modules and tools that enable developers to efficiently create various interactive 3D content. However, how to further accelerate the development process based on Unity3D, allowing beginners, even artists without coding skills, to quickly build interactive workflows according to project requirements and implement modules that achieve interactive functionality without editing code, is a pressing technical challenge in this field.

[0090] The animation modes at the beginning and end of the scene include: no animation, point-based scaling animation, Y-axis scaling animation, and fly-in / fly-out animation; the animation mode at the end of the scene also includes scrolling animation.

[0091] The screen switching setting unit is used for the switching mode of two adjacent screens; the switching mode of two adjacent screens includes switching over time and switching based on events.

[0092] In this implementation, "no animation" is abbreviated as "Null"; "point scaling animation" is abbreviated as "Point"; "Y-axis scaling animation" is abbreviated as "Short"; "fly in / fly out animation" is abbreviated as "Fly"; and "scroll animation" is abbreviated as "Scroll".

[0093] In this embodiment, the scene screen tool is developed to facilitate the control of the scene by the creators in game production, and it can form a certain standard in multi-person collaborative development.

[0094] In this embodiment, the scene curtain tool cannot be directly mounted into the Unity3d engine; it needs to be located in the tools folder as ActsCtrl.prefab. (Refer to...) Figure 10 As shown.

[0095] In this embodiment, the setting of the scene curtain tool is referred to Figure 11 As shown.

[0096] In this embodiment, "switching over time" is abbreviated as "Time"; and "switching based on event" is abbreviated as "Event". The event-based switching setting is referenced... Figure 12 As shown.

[0097] Implementation Method 3: Combination Figures 1 to 15 This embodiment further defines the rapid construction device for light and shadow interaction based on the Unity3d engine described in Embodiment 1. The specific implementation details are as follows:

[0098] The object generation module includes a range tool, a random generation tool, and a deletion tool;

[0099] The range tool is used to delineate a range area in a scene and set a standardized range mode for the delineated range area. The standardized range mode includes a region mode, a region size, and a region color.

[0100] The random generation tool is used to randomly generate objects to be generated based on the set of objects to be generated and the defined range area.

[0101] The deletion tool is used to delete objects in the scene.

[0102] In this embodiment, the range tool has a wide range of uses. It can be used not only in conjunction with the random generation tool, but also in the movement control module and the animation editing module.

[0103] In this embodiment, the setting of the standardized range mode is referred to Figure 4 As shown.

[0104] In this embodiment, the area mode is used to select either Box mode or Sphere mode.

[0105] Furthermore, a preferred embodiment is provided, wherein the random generation tool includes an object binding unit, a generation range acquisition unit, a generation mode setting unit, and a random generation unit;

[0106] The generated object binding unit is used to bind a set of objects to be generated;

[0107] The generation range obtaining unit is used to take the defined range area as the generation range;

[0108] The generation attribute setting unit is used to set generation attributes; the generation attributes include generation time interval, size of the generated object, and rotation direction;

[0109] The random generation unit is used to randomly generate the object to be generated within the generation range according to the generation attributes.

[0110] In this embodiment, after the random generation tool is mounted, the device will automatically add a range tool.

[0111] In this embodiment, the settings of the random generation tool are as follows: Figure 9 As shown.

[0112] Furthermore, a preferred embodiment is provided in which the deletion tool includes a deletion mode setting unit;

[0113] The deletion mode setting unit is used to set the deletion mode; the deletion mode includes deletion over time, deletion by click, and deletion based on an event.

[0114] In this embodiment, the generated objects generally have a lifecycle, some are deleted over time, and some are deleted based on events; after the deletion tool is mounted, a suitable deletion mode can be selected according to the needs.

[0115] In this implementation, "delete over time" is abbreviated as "Time"; "delete by click" is abbreviated as "Touch"; and "delete based on event" is abbreviated as "Event".

[0116] In this embodiment, deletion occurs over time, such as... Figure 14 As shown.

[0119] If the particle systems in all the sub-objects of the object to be deleted have not finished playing, the deletion operation will not be performed until all of them have finished playing.

[0120] Furthermore, in a preferred embodiment, the deletion tool further includes an effects generation unit; the effects generation unit is used to generate effects after the object is deleted.

[0121] In this embodiment, the particle system is referred to as "Particle System".

[0122] Implementation Method 4: Combination Figures 1 to 15 This embodiment further defines the rapid construction device for light and shadow interaction based on the Unity3d engine described in Embodiment 1. The specific implementation details are as follows:

[0123] The click-triggered tool includes a ray emission unit and a ray setting unit;

[0124] The ray emission unit is used to emit mouse clicks or multi-point triggers received by TUIO in the form of rays in the engine; the ray in the engine is used to send trigger events, three-dimensional coordinates of the trigger position and ray ID to objects on the emission path;

[0125] The ray setting unit is used to set the ray ID and the ray rendering mode.

[0126] In this embodiment, the click-triggered tool is mainly used for interaction-related processing, which is initiated primarily through mouse clicks or multi-point triggers received by TUIO.

[0127] In this embodiment, after the device is imported into the Unity3d engine, the first step is to add the click-triggered tool to the Unity3d engine.

[0128] In this embodiment, the process of adding the click-triggered tool is as follows:

[0129] Find or create a Camera in the scene, click Add Component, select [Light and Shadow Interaction Tools] - Camera - Click Trigger Tool; or search for "Click Trigger Tool" directly in the search box to add it.

[0130] The Camera Inspector effect after addition is as follows: Figure 1 As shown in the image, click to trigger the tool.

[0131] The addition of other tools to the device is similar and will not be described in detail.

[0132] In this implementation, the click-triggered tool can be understood as the sending end. There is generally only one sending end, while there are multiple receiving ends. The sending end is used to send trigger events to the receiving ends. The receiving ends include 3D animation tools, 2D animation tools, etc., in the animation editing module.

[0133] Implementation Method 5: Combination Figures 1 to 15 This embodiment further defines the rapid construction device for light and shadow interaction based on the Unity3d engine described in Embodiment 1. The specific implementation details are as follows:

[0134] The animation tool can be a 3D animation tool or a 2D animation tool.

[0135] The animation tool includes a display process unit, a standby process unit, an interactive process unit, and a movement settings unit;

[0136] The display process unit is used to selectively start the display process of the animation tool after the object bound to the animation tool is clicked and triggered by the tool; it is also used to configure attributes for each display animation, including animation file, sound file, duration, and event set; the display process of the animation tool is executed in the order of the display animations.

[0137] The standby process unit is used to start the standby process of the animation tool when the display process has not started or ended, and the interactive process has not started either; the standby process of the animation tool is executed according to the playback order of the standby animation.

[0138] The interactive process unit is used to start the interactive process of the animation tool when the animation tool is triggered by clicking the trigger tool during the standby process of the animation tool; the interactive process of the animation tool is executed in the playback order of the triggered animations.

[0139] The movement setting unit is used to set the movement mode of the object bound to the animation tool, and also to bind the corresponding movement speed to the object bound to the animation tool in the display process, standby process and interaction process respectively.

[0140] In this embodiment, the animation tool is used to bind (add) to objects in the Unity3d engine; however, there are certain prerequisites for adding the animation tool: the object to be added must contain an Animator component, and the Animator component must contain an AnimatorController.

[0141] In this implementation, when the animation tool is added, the BoxCollider component and AudioSource component are automatically added to the object, achieving semi-automation of component addition.

[0142] In this embodiment, the main difference between 2D animation tools and 3D animation tools is that 2D animation tools display 2D animations, while 3D animation tools display 3D animations. As for other aspects, such as functions and usage, there is not much difference between 2D animation tools and 3D animation tools.

[0143] In this embodiment, the display process of the 3D animation tool is set up to achieve the following effects: Figure 2 As shown.

[0144] Furthermore, a preferred embodiment is provided in which the playback order of the standby animation includes sequential playback and random playback.

[0145] In this embodiment, other settings for the standby process of the animation tool, such as the configuration attributes of the standby animation, are basically the same as those in the display process, and will not be repeated here.

[0146] Furthermore, a preferred implementation is provided, wherein the playback order of the triggered animations includes sequential playback and random playback. During the interactive process, the creator can choose to play the triggered animations sequentially or randomly as needed.

[0147] In this embodiment, the interaction process can be triggered at any time during the standby process.

[0148] Furthermore, a preferred implementation is provided in which, during the interactive flow of the animation tool, no other trigger animations (or interactive animations) can be triggered.

[0149] Furthermore, a preferred implementation is provided in which, in the interactive flow of the animation tool, after the triggered animation (or interactive animation) finishes playing, the animation tool returns to its standby flow.

[0150] Furthermore, a preferred implementation is provided in which the Unity3d engine automatically adds corresponding movement tools after the movement mode is set; the corresponding movement tools include path-based movement tools and random movement tools:

[0151] When the movement mode is set to path mode, the Unity3D engine automatically adds a path-based movement tool;

[0152] When the movement mode is set to random movement mode, the Unity3D engine automatically adds a random movement tool.

[0153] In this embodiment, the semi-automatic construction of the mobile tool is achieved by selecting or setting the mobile mode in the mobile setting unit.

[0154] In this embodiment, by binding movement speed in the display process, standby process, and interaction process, the movement speed of the object with added 3D animation tools can be set according to the animation, so that the object moves at different speeds under different animations, thus enriching the interactive effect.

[0155] Furthermore, in a preferred embodiment, the interactive process unit is also used to generate a prefab after the interactive process of the 3D animation tool is activated.

[0156] In this embodiment, when the interaction process is triggered or started, the interaction process unit will randomly generate prefabs from the prefab set, and the generation position can be modified according to requirements.

[0157] In this embodiment, the prefabricated body has high reusability, so a new module can be used to replace the interactive process unit.

[0158] In this embodiment, the overall execution flow of the 3D animation tool is as follows: Figure 3 As shown.

[0159] Implementation Method Six: Combination Figures 1 to 15 This embodiment further defines the rapid construction device for light and shadow interaction based on the Unity3d engine described in Embodiment 1. The specific implementation details are as follows:

[0160] The movement control module includes a random movement tool, a path editing tool, and a path-based movement tool;

[0161] The random movement tool is used to obtain a defined area as the movement area and execute the random movement function when the movement mode is set to random movement mode.

[0162] The path editing tool is used to set the movement path when the movement mode is set to path mode;

[0163] The path-based movement tool is used to perform path-based movement functionality based on the set movement path when the movement mode is set to path mode.

[0164] In this embodiment, the random movement tool mainly relies on the range tool. The default movement function can only be executed after the range tool is bound.

[0165] In this embodiment, when the animation tool selects "Use Movement Tool" in the movement options, the device will default to random movement mode and bind the random movement tool. (See reference...) Figure 5 .

[0166] Furthermore, in a preferred embodiment, the random movement tool includes a movement speed setting unit; the movement speed setting unit is used to set the movement speed of the moving object.

[0167] In this embodiment, when the random movement function is executed, the object with added 3D or 2D animation tools will move at the default movement speed, which is the movement speed bound in the display process, standby process and interaction process, that is, the movement speed in the animation attribute.

[0168] In this embodiment, the movement speed setting in the random movement function is referenced. Figure 6 .

[0169] Furthermore, in a preferred embodiment, the random movement tool includes an orientation rotation setting unit; the orientation rotation setting unit is used to set the orientation and rotation speed of the moving object.

[0170] In this embodiment, the path editing tool is mainly implemented based on the PathCreater component in the dependency package.

[0171] In this embodiment, the path editing tool is configured as follows: Figure 7 As shown.

[0172] In this embodiment, the path editing tool is mainly used in conjunction with the path movement tool to enable the object to move along the set movement path.

[0173] In this implementation, a shortcut key can be set, for example, "shift + left mouse button" can be used to add a path anchor point.

[0174] Furthermore, a preferred embodiment is provided in which the movement path includes path anchor points and path curves that sequentially connect the path anchor points.

[0175] The path editing tool includes an anchor point setting unit and a curve setting unit;

[0176] The anchor point setting unit is used to add or delete path anchor points, modify the position of path anchor points, and modify the normal of path anchor points.

[0177] The curve setting unit is used to set whether the path curve is a closed loop.

[0178] Furthermore, in a preferred embodiment, the path editing tool further includes control point units; the path anchor points include a start anchor point, an end anchor point, and ordinary path anchor points between the start and end anchor points; the control point units are used to attach two control points to each ordinary path anchor point other than the start and end anchor points; the two control points are used to make detailed adjustments to the position of the path anchor points; the two control points have four modes for adjusting curve anchor points:

[0179] In Aligned mode, control points align with their path anchor points in a straight line.

[0180] In Mirrored mode, control points maintain a straight line with equal spacing around their path anchor points;

[0181] In Free mode, there are no restrictions on the position of control points;

[0182] Auto mode automatically places control points to smooth the path curve.

[0183] In this embodiment, the control points are set as follows: Figure 8 As shown.

[0185] Furthermore, in a preferred embodiment, the path-based movement tool is also used to set a path mode, a rotation mode, and a starting position.

[0186] in:

[0187] Path mode refers to the way an object moves after reaching its destination, including: Loop mode (jumps back to the starting position after reaching the destination), Reverse mode (returns along the same path after reaching the destination), and Stop mode (stops after reaching the destination).

[0188] Rotation mode refers to the orientation of an object during movement, including: FollowLine mode (the object rotates along the path direction), FollowX mode (the object rotates only along the X-axis), and FollowZ mode (the object rotates only along the Z-axis).

[0189] The starting position refers to the starting point of the object's movement. The overall length of the line segment of the movement path is mapped to a floating-point number between 0 and 1. The starting position is represented by setting the corresponding floating-point number by sliding or manually inputting.
