[0070] Research has found that after recording a virtual live broadcast, in order to improve the excitement of the final animation work, it is often necessary to edit the exciting content in the complete recorded content to generate animation editing works corresponding to the virtual characters. However, since only the screen content of the virtual live broadcast can be edited, the editing effect of the editing operation is limited, and the quality of the generated animation work needs to be improved.

[0071] Based on the above research, the present disclosure provides an animation generation method, apparatus, computer equipment and storage medium. After obtaining the animation sub-data under multiple animation editing dimensions, the editing tracks corresponding to the multiple animation editing dimensions can be displayed in the animation editing interface, and in response to the editing operations performed on the animation sub-data under the multiple animation editing dimensions in the editing tracks, the animation sub-data under the multiple animation editing dimensions after editing can be determined, so that target animation data can be generated based on the animation sub-data under the multiple animation editing dimensions after editing, and target animation can be generated based on the target animation data. In this way, compared to performing video-level editing operations on recorded animation content, by performing editing operations on the animation sub-data under the acquired multiple animation editing dimensions, the animation content can be edited at a more basic animation sub-data level, and the editing effect of the animation sub-data is better, so that a higher-quality animation work can be obtained.

[0072] To facilitate understanding of the present embodiment, an animation generation method disclosed in the embodiment of the present disclosure is first introduced in detail. The execution subject of the animation generation method provided in the embodiment of the present disclosure is generally a computer device with certain computing capabilities, and the computer device includes, for example: a terminal device or a server or other processing device, and the terminal device can be a user equipment (UE), a mobile device, a user terminal, a terminal, a handheld device, a computing device, a vehicle-mounted device, a wearable device, etc. In some possible implementations, the animation generation method can be implemented by a processor calling a computer-readable instruction stored in a memory.

[0073] See also Figure 1 FIG. 1 is a flowchart of an animation generation method provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure, wherein the method includes S101 to S104, wherein:

[0074] S101: Obtain animation sub-data under multiple animation editing dimensions.

[0075] S102: Displaying the editing tracks corresponding to the multiple animation editing dimensions respectively on the animation editing interface.

[0076] S103: In response to the editing operation performed on the animation sub-data under the multiple animation editing dimensions in the editing track, determine the edited animation sub-data under the multiple animation editing dimensions.

[0077] S104: Generate target animation data based on the edited animation sub-data under the multiple animation editing dimensions, and generate a target animation based on the target animation data.

[0078] The following is a detailed description of the above steps.

[0079] The acquisition process for S101:

[0080] The animation editing dimension is used to represent the dimension when editing the animation sub-data; the multiple animation editing dimensions may include at least two editing dimensions of the action control data editing dimension, the storyboard editing dimension, and the storyboard tracking target editing dimension, and the animation editing dimension may also include an audio editing dimension; wherein:

[0081] Dimension 1: Action control data editing dimension

[0082] Here, the action control data editing dimension can be used to edit the action control data of the virtual character, and the action control data is used to drive the virtual character to perform corresponding actions. The action control data can be, for example, virtual character skeleton control data livelink data (live link is a plug-in provided by the engine, and its purpose is to provide a universal interface to stream and add animation data from external sources to the engine); the action control data can be real-time motion capture data, and the real-time motion capture data can be collected by a motion capture device, and is used to characterize the actions made by the virtual character control object in the real scene.

[0083] Specifically, by editing the action control data, the action of the virtual character in the target animation finally generated can be edited, so that the virtual character in the target animation finally obtained can perform actions that meet the requirements.

[0084] Dimension 2: Storyboard Editing Dimension

[0085] Here, the animation sub-data corresponding to the virtual character can be shot by different virtual cameras. Different virtual cameras can shoot the virtual character from different shooting angles, so as to obtain the corresponding animation sub-data; the storyboard editing dimension can be used to edit each storyboard in the animation, and one storyboard can correspond to one virtual camera.

[0086] Specifically, editing the storyboards means editing the animation sub-data captured by each virtual camera, so as to obtain animation data of the virtual character under different shooting angles.

[0087] Dimension 3: Storyboard tracking target editing dimension

[0088] Here, the storyboard tracking target editing dimension can be used to edit the tracked target virtual character.

[0089] Specifically, since the virtual camera may capture multiple virtual characters at the same time during filming, in order to ensure that the target virtual character can be tracked in the finally generated target animation so as to highlight the target virtual character, the target virtual character tracked in the target animation can be edited through the editing operations under the storyboard tracking target editing dimension to determine the target virtual character tracked in the target animation, thereby achieving a prominent display effect on the target virtual character.

[0090] Dimension 4: Audio Editing

[0091] Here, the audio editing dimension can be used to edit the audio data in the animation, and the audio data in the animation can include background music data and other data.

[0092] Specifically, by editing the audio data in the animation, the audio data in the target animation finally obtained can meet the audio requirements of the animation.

[0093] In a possible implementation, when obtaining animation sub-data under multiple animation editing dimensions, the following steps A1 to A2 may be performed:

[0094] A1: In response to an animation data recording operation, determining a recording object and a recording period indicated by the animation data recording operation, wherein the recording object includes a target virtual character among virtual characters displayed in a live broadcast screen of a virtual scene.

[0095] A2: Acquire the animation recording data of the target virtual character in the multiple animation editing dimensions during the recording period, and use the animation recording data in the multiple animation editing dimensions as the animation sub-data.

[0096] Here, the animation data recording operation may include an animation data recording start operation and an animation data recording end operation, and the duration between the animation data recording start operation and the animation data recording end operation constitutes a recording period; or, the recording period may also be directly indicated by the animation data recording operation, such as indicating recording for 10 minutes; the recording object may be edited on a recording operation editing page corresponding to the animation data recording operation, and recording may begin after editing of the recording operation editing page is completed.

[0097] In addition, the recording operation editing page can also indicate the type of recorded animation sub-data (that is, the animation editing dimension to be edited subsequently). For example, it can indicate that the recorded animation sub-data is animation sub-data corresponding to the audio editing dimension, the motion control data editing dimension, and the storyboard editing dimension, respectively. By indicating the recording of animation sub-data under multiple types of animation editing dimensions, the corresponding type of animation recording data can be obtained during recording to complete the recording of the animation sub-data.

[0098] The editing track display process for S102:

[0099] Here, the editing track corresponding to the animation editing dimension is used to display the animation sub-data under the animation editing dimension.

[0100] Exemplarily, the schematic diagram of the animation editing page can be as follows: Figure 2 As shown, Figure 2 In the animation editing page, the animation file selection area and the animation sub-data editing area may be included; the files in the animation file selection area may be displayed in the form of a structure tree, etc., so that the editor can store and select the animation data to be edited and the animation data after editing; the animation sub-data editing area may include a timeline for indicating when the animation sub-data is displayed, multiple animation editing dimensions, and the animation sub-data under each animation editing dimension, and the animation sub-data is displayed in an editable editing track, Figure 2 The animation editing dimensions include action control data editing dimensions, audio editing dimensions, storyboard tracking target editing dimensions, and storyboard editing dimensions. The six different colored areas under the storyboard editing dimensions represent the animation sub-data corresponding to storyboards 1 to 6 respectively.

[0101] In one possible implementation, the animation data recording operation may include multiple animation data recording operations; when the editing tracks corresponding to the multiple animation editing dimensions are displayed in the animation editing interface, the animation sub-data recorded in the multiple animation data recording operations may be displayed in the editing tracks of the animation editing interface, and the animation sub-data recorded in each animation data recording operation includes animation sub-data under multiple editing tracks.

[0102] Here, the animation data recording operation may include multiple animation data recording operations, and the animation sub-data under multiple animation editing dimensions recorded in each animation data recording operation may constitute a group of animation sub-data, and multiple groups of animation sub-data may be obtained after multiple animation data recording operations.

[0103] Specifically, when the animation editing page displays multiple groups of animation sub-data obtained after multiple animation data recording operations, the animation sub-data recorded in the multiple animation data recording operations can be displayed in sequence in the editing track of the animation editing interface. The animation sub-data recorded in each animation data recording operation includes animation sub-data under multiple editing tracks to achieve orderly display of each group of animation sub-data.

[0104] In this way, by simultaneously displaying multiple sets of animation sub-data in the animation editing page, it is convenient to simultaneously edit the animation data according to the multiple sets of animation sub-data, thereby obtaining a target animation that can meet the animation editing requirements.

[0105] Furthermore, the recorded animation sub-data can be copied and edited by following the steps below:

[0106] B1: In response to the copy operation of the animation sub-data recorded for the animation data recording operation, generating at least one set of copy animation sub-data corresponding to the animation sub-data under the multiple animation editing dimensions.

[0107] B2: The animation sub-data recorded by the animation data recording operation and the at least one set of copy animation sub-data are displayed in the editing track of the animation editing interface. The animation sub-data recorded by the animation data recording operation and the at least one set of copy animation sub-data can be edited synchronously.

[0108] Here, when the animation sub-data recorded by the animation data recording operation and the at least one set of copy animation sub-data are displayed in the editing track of the animation editing interface, it can be that in response to a paste operation for the at least one set of copy animation sub-data, the copy animation sub-data corresponding to the copy operation is added to the paste position indicated by the copy operation to place the copy animation sub-data in the animation editing page, so as to simultaneously display the animation sub-data recorded by the animation data recording operation and the copy animation sub-data in the editing track of the animation editing interface.

[0109] Specifically, the animation sub-data recorded by the animation data recording operation and the at least one set of copy animation sub-data can be edited synchronously. It can be an editing operation on the animation sub-data recorded by the animation data recording operation, which can be synchronously executed on the at least one set of copy animation sub-data, so that the editing of multiple sets of the same animation sub-data can be achieved through one editing operation.

[0110] In addition, if there is corresponding animation sub-data at the paste position, the copy animation sub-data can be merged with the animation sub-data existing at the paste position to form a new set of animation sub-data, and the editing operations between the merged fused animation sub-data and the animation sub-data recorded by the animation data recording operation (that is, the animation sub-data indicated by the copy operation) can be independent of each other.

[0111] In this way, by setting corresponding copy, paste and synchronous editing mechanisms for the animation editing page, it is convenient for editors to edit the animation sub-data, thereby improving the animation data editing efficiency and animation generation efficiency.

[0112] Animation editing and animation generation process for S103 and S104:

[0113] Here, the editing operation may include moving operations, scaling operations, cropping operations and the like for the animation sub-data. The moving operation is used to edit the display start time and display end time of the animation sub-data, the scaling operation is used to control the display duration of the animation sub-data, and the cropping operation is used to crop the animation content corresponding to the animation sub-data.

[0114] In addition, in order to improve the efficiency of animation editing, the editing operation can also be initiated by multiple editing terminals, and the multiple editing terminals can edit the same animation sub-data. The animation editing page in editing can be synchronously displayed in the screen of each editing terminal, so that multiple people can edit the same animation sub-data to improve the animation editing efficiency and animation generation efficiency.

[0115] In one possible implementation, in response to an editing trigger operation for animation sub-data under any animation editing dimension, the editing area of ​​the animation sub-data under the animation editing dimension in the animation editing page is scaled based on the corresponding display size of the animation sub-data under the animation editing dimension in the animation editing page.

[0116] Here, since the animation editing page can display animation sub-data under multiple editing tracks, and too many editing tracks often make it difficult for the editor to focus on the animation sub-data currently being edited, it is possible to respond to an edit trigger operation on the animation sub-data under any animation editing dimension, use the animation editing dimension triggered by the edit trigger operation as the target animation editing dimension, and based on the corresponding display size of the animation sub-data under the target animation editing dimension in the animation editing page, scale the editing area of ​​the animation sub-data under the target animation editing dimension in the animation editing page to increase the corresponding display size of the animation sub-data under the target animation editing dimension in the animation editing page, so as to facilitate the editor to perform more sophisticated animation data editing operations.

[0117] For example, the schematic diagram of the animation editing page before the scaling process can be as follows: Figure 2 As shown, the schematic diagram of the animation editing page after scaling can be as follows Figure 3 As shown, Figure 3 In the process, the editing area of ​​the animation sub-data corresponding to storyboard 1 in the storyboard is enlarged to facilitate the editing operation of the corresponding animation sub-data.

[0118] Furthermore, during the editing process, the animation data indicated by the preview operation can be previewed on the screen through the preview operation, so as to achieve the effect of previewing while editing; in addition, during the editing process, marks can be added in the animation sub-data editing area in the animation editing page, such as adding marks on the timeline to record information such as the content that needs to be edited; in addition, the editing operation can be undone after execution, and after any editing operation is undone, the animation data displayed in the animation editing page can be updated to the state before being edited by the editing operation; in addition, in order to prevent the animation sub-data under any animation editing dimension from being edited by mistake, after receiving the editing lock operation for any animation editing dimension, the editing state of the corresponding animation editing dimension can be updated to a locked state so that the animation sub-data under the animation editing dimension cannot be edited.

[0119] Furthermore, the animation content can be live streamed through the following steps C1 to C2:

[0120] C1: In response to a trigger operation on any one of a plurality of animation files displayed on a live broadcast control page during a live broadcast of a virtual scene, a target animation file to be played is determined; wherein the plurality of animation files include an animation file corresponding to the target animation.

[0121] C2: Sending the animation data corresponding to the target animation file to a live broadcast server, so as to push the animation data corresponding to the target animation file to a live broadcast client based on the live broadcast server, and displaying the animation content corresponding to the target animation file on the live broadcast client.

[0122] Here, the animation file may be composed of edited animation data. By editing the animation sub-data under multiple animation editing dimensions, an animation file containing the animation data may be obtained. The live broadcast server may be a server in a content delivery network (CDN). By sending the animation data corresponding to the target animation file to the server in the CDN, the transmission stability of the live broadcast data may be improved.

[0123] The animation generation method provided by the disclosed embodiment can display the editing tracks corresponding to the multiple animation editing dimensions respectively on the animation editing interface after acquiring the animation sub-data under multiple animation editing dimensions, and determine the animation sub-data under the multiple animation editing dimensions after editing in response to the editing operations performed on the animation sub-data under the multiple animation editing dimensions in the editing tracks, so that target animation data can be generated based on the animation sub-data under the multiple animation editing dimensions after editing, and target animation can be generated based on the target animation data. In this way, compared to performing video-level editing operations on recorded animation content, by performing editing operations on the acquired animation sub-data under multiple animation editing dimensions, the animation content can be edited at a more basic animation sub-data level, and the editing effect of the animation sub-data is better, so that a higher-quality animation work can be obtained.

[0124] Those skilled in the art will appreciate that, in the above method of specific implementation, the order in which the steps are written does not imply a strict execution order and does not constitute any limitation on the implementation process.
