[0002] In some games, players can use the materials and virtual items provided by the system to build game scenes, such as laying floors, building walls, and placing furniture in the game scenes. During the building process, due to the limitations of the perspective of the game scene and the standing position of the controlled virtual character controlled by the player, it is difficult for players to build more delicate or specific-shaped buildings, resulting in a poor experience for players and easily reducing the retention rate of the game.

[0019] Figure 7 It is a schematic diagram of the structure of an electronic device provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure. Specific Embodiments

[0020] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present disclosure clearer, the technical solutions of the present disclosure will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Apparently, the described embodiments are some, but not all, of the embodiments of the present disclosure. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments in the present disclosure without creative efforts shall fall within the scope of protection of the present disclosure.

[0021] In the game, after the player enters the construction mode, usually only the foundation and furniture can be placed one by one, and the operation is cumbersome. Due to holding the drawing, the perspective of the controlled virtual character is very limited. Even with the help of a drone, it is only a means of transportation for the controlled virtual character to go up and down the stairs, and it is almost useless in terms of vision.

[0022] Specifically, the current game construction mode has the following disadvantages:

[0023] 1. In the construction gameplay of many current games, there is no function of free batch construction. For example, the foundation of a certain game is 9*12. If the player wants to quickly cover the entire foundation with the floor, it needs to be placed 108 times continuously. Similarly, when the same type of building needs to be laid in a range, the operation amount is cumbersome.

[0024] 2. When advanced construction players want to build a more delicate or specific-shaped building, due to the limitations of the perspective and standing position, even for a single plane, players usually cannot see the entire construction situation, and need to frequently switch between the global-detail perspectives, which increases the operation difficulty and cumbersome degree.

[0025] 3. Currently, there is a lack of operation support in the vertical plane. For example, some games may support the global perspective of the horizontal plane, but do not have the global perspective of the vertical plane. And the switching operation between the horizontal-vertical planes is also very cumbersome.

[0026] Based on this, an editing method, device, and electronic device for a virtual scene provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure can be applied to a virtual scene that can be edited.

[0027] The editing method for the virtual scene in one of the embodiments disclosed in the present invention can run on a local terminal device or a server. When the editing method for the virtual scene runs on the server, this method can be implemented and executed based on a cloud interaction system, where the cloud interaction system includes a server and a client device.

[0028] In an optional implementation, various cloud applications can be run under the cloud interaction system, such as cloud games. Taking cloud games as an example, cloud games refer to a game mode based on cloud computing. In the operation mode of cloud games, the operating body of the game program and the main body of the game screen presentation are separated. The storage and operation of the editing method of the virtual scene are complete on the cloud game server. The role of the client device is used for receiving and sending data and presenting the game screen. For example, the client device can be a display device with data transmission function close to the user side, such as a mobile terminal, a TV, a computer, a handheld computer, etc.; but the cloud game server in the cloud is responsible for information processing. When playing the game, the player operates the client device to send an operation instruction to the cloud game server. The cloud game server runs the game according to the operation instruction, encodes and compresses the game screen and other data, and returns it to the client device through the network. Finally, the client device decodes and outputs the game screen.

[0029] In an optional embodiment, taking a game as an example, a local terminal device stores a game program and is used to present a game screen. The local terminal device is used to interact with the player through a graphical user interface, that is, the game program is downloaded and installed by an electronic device and run conventionally. The local terminal device may provide the graphical user interface to the player in a variety of ways, for example, it may be rendered and displayed on a display screen of the terminal, or provided to the player through a holographic projection. For example, the local terminal device may include a display screen and a processor, the display screen is used to present a graphical user interface, the graphical user interface includes a game screen, and the processor is used to run the game, generate a graphical user interface, and control the display of the graphical user interface on the display screen.

[0030] See also Figure 1 First, a method for editing a virtual scene provided by an embodiment of the present invention is introduced, and a graphical user interface is provided through a terminal device; the graphical user interface displays a virtual scene. Among them, the virtual scene can be a game scene, or a scene that simulates the display world. The virtual scene includes a preset editable space. The above-mentioned editable space usually includes the ground in the virtual scene as a plane at its edge. The editable space is usually a cube or a cuboid, and can also be a three-dimensional space of other shapes, which is not limited here.

[0031] The method comprises the following steps:

[0032] Step S102, displaying multiple editable planes in the editable space.

[0033] There are usually multiple editable planes in the editable space. The editable planes can be located at the edge of the editable space. For example, when the editable space is a cube, the editable planes are the multiple surfaces of the cube. The editable planes can also be located inside the editable space. For example, the editable space of a cube can be divided into 9 small cube spaces by 4 editable planes inside it. The multiple editable planes can also include the editable planes located at the edge of the editable space and the editable planes located inside the editable space, which is not restricted here.

[0034] The positions of the editable planes in the editable space can be preset by the system or set by the user according to requirements. When the user sets according to requirements, the lines representing the planes can be edited in the three views corresponding to the editable space, so as to determine the editable planes in the editable space.

[0035] In specific implementation, all the editable planes can be directly displayed in the editable space, or the user can control the display of some of the editable planes among the multiple editable planes through operations. For example, the editable plane located on the ground in the virtual scene in the editable space is usually always displayed. If the user changes the perspective of the virtual scene and moves the perspective upward, the editable plane perpendicular to the editable plane corresponding to the ground can be displayed, which is convenient for the user to perform editing operations on the editable plane perpendicular to the current ground. It can be specifically set according to requirements, which is not restricted here.

[0036] When displaying multiple editable planes, the identifiers of each editable plane can be displayed. In order to reduce the occlusion of the line of sight, the identifiers of the editable planes can be displayed in a semi-transparent format.

[0037] Step S104, determine the target editing plane from multiple editable planes.

[0038] Generally speaking, the user can determine the target editing plane from multiple editable planes through a selection operation. For example, long-press or click on the identifier of a certain editable plane. The user can select multiple target editing planes through the selection operation. For example, the identifiers of the editable planes of multiple planes can be passed through by sliding the track, so as to select multiple parallel target editing planes. So that subsequent material filling operations can be performed on multiple target editing planes at the same time.

[0039] Step S106, in response to the material filling operation, fill the target material in the target editing plane and / or the related space of the target editing plane.

[0040] The above material filling operation can be a click operation, a sliding operation, etc. The target material can be pre-set by the system or selected by the user through a selection operation, and there is no limitation here. When the material filling operation acts on the display area of the target editing plane, the position or area to be filled in the target editing plane can be determined based on the mapping of the action position of the material filling operation on the target editing plane.

[0041] The target material may also need to be placed in the relevant space of the target editing plane. The relevant space of the target editing plane can be the space including the target editing plane or the space on one side of the target editing plane. For example, when the target material represents a chair, the target material needs to be filled into the space above the target editing plane. Based on the mapping of the action position of the material filling operation on the target editing plane, the target position in the target editing plane can be determined, and then the target material can be filled in the relevant space of the target position.

[0042] The above method for editing a virtual scene includes: displaying multiple editable planes in an editable space; determining a target editing plane from the multiple editable planes; and in response to a material filling operation, filling a target material in the target editing plane and / or the relevant space of the target editing plane. This method facilitates the user to perform multi-dimensional scene editing, generates rich scene editing effects, and improves the user experience.

[0043] The following embodiments provide a specific way to display multiple editable planes in an editable space.

[0044] In practical applications, the above editable space usually includes a first editable plane, which can be located at the edge of the editable space or inside the editable space. Here, the first editable plane usually refers to the scene surface included in the editable space, such as the ground, which is always displayed.

[0045] The editable space usually further includes a second editable plane at a preset angle to the first editable plane, such as a second editable plane perpendicular to the first editable plane. The preset angle can also be 30°, 60°, etc., which is not limited here. The second editable plane can specifically be one or more. Multiple corresponding virtual materials can be set for the editable space. These virtual materials have position attributes. The position attribute is used to: indicate the relative position relationship between the editable plane filled with the virtual material and the first editable plane. The relative position relationship can be at a preset angle to the first editable plane, that is, the virtual material needs to be filled into the second editable plane; the relative position relationship can also be coincidence, that is, the virtual material needs to be filled into the first editable plane. When the first editable plane and the second editable plane are perpendicular, the first editable plane represents the ground and the second editable plane represents the wall. Generally speaking, it is to limit whether the virtual material can be used for the ground or the wall. For example, the virtual material representing the floor can usually only be used for the ground, and the virtual material representing the wall can usually only be used for the wall.

[0046] In addition, the virtual material usually also has an application attribute. The application attribute is used to indicate: the building part or furniture item formed by the editable plane filled with the virtual material. For example, the virtual material can be used to form the walls, ground, stairs, etc. of a building, and can also be used to form furniture such as virtual tables and virtual chairs.

[0047] In specific implementation, the first editable plane in the editable space can always be displayed. The user can select the virtual material to be filled through a selection operation. In response to the selection operation for the first material among multiple virtual materials, and the position attribute of the first material indicates that the editable plane filled with the first material is at a preset angle to the first editable plane, the first editable plane and the second editable plane need to be displayed simultaneously.

[0048] When there are multiple second editable planes, the user can select a certain plane among the multiple second editable planes as the target editing plane.

[0049] When there are multiple second editable planes, the target second editable plane among the multiple second editable planes can also be determined, and then only the first editable plane and the target second editable plane are displayed. The screen displayed by the graphical user interface is usually generated by a preset virtual camera photographing a virtual scene. The target second editable plane among the multiple second editable planes can be determined based on the photographing direction of the virtual camera. For example, the photographing direction can be the intersection point of the photographing direction of the virtual camera and the first editable plane, and then the plane among the multiple second editable planes whose intersection line with the first editable plane is closest to this intersection point is determined as the target second editable plane. The target second editable plane can also be determined based on the position of the controlled virtual character controlled by the terminal device in the virtual scene, that is, the plane among the multiple second editable planes closest to the position of the controlled virtual character is determined as the target second editable plane.

[0050] The target second editable plane can also be determined based on both the photographing direction of the virtual camera and the position of the controlled virtual character in the virtual scene. For example, the intersection point of the target second editable plane and the first editable plane can be determined based on the position of the controlled virtual character in the virtual scene, and then the intersection line passing through this intersection point is determined based on the photographing direction of the virtual camera, so as to display the target second editable plane passing through this intersection line. If only one target editable plane is displayed, the target second editable plane can be determined as the target editing plane at this time.

[0051] To facilitate the user's operation on the target editable plane, when the first editable plane is displayed and when the first editable plane and the second editable plane are displayed simultaneously, the virtual camera can photograph with different photographing directions. As Figure 2 shown, the left figure is the graphical user interface when only the first editable plane is displayed, and the right figure is the graphical user interface when two editable planes are displayed simultaneously. When changing from the left figure to the right figure, the photographing direction of the virtual camera needs to be updated so that the photographing direction of the virtual camera is parallel to the normal direction of the second editable plane; then the editable space is photographed by the updated virtual camera to obtain an updated screen; the first editable plane is displayed in the updated screen; the identifier of the second editable plane is displayed in the updated screen. This identifier can be displayed in a semi-transparent format.

[0052] In a game, a virtual scene may be displayed from the perspective of a player. The player's perspective is realized by a first virtual camera bound to a controlled virtual character. At this time, the graphical user interface displays a first image generated by the first virtual camera photographing the virtual scene. The first image usually displays a part of a first editable plane. To facilitate the user to adjust the display effect of the first editable plane, a first control can be set in the graphical user interface. The player can trigger the first control. In response to the trigger operation on the first control, the virtual scene is photographed by a preset second virtual camera to generate a second image; wherein, the second image displays the complete first editable plane; and the second image is displayed in the graphical user interface. As Figure 3 shown, the left and right figures respectively show the graphical user interface before and after the player triggers the first control.

[0053] A plurality of third editable planes parallel to the first editable plane and a plurality of second editable spaces can be preset in the editable space. When only the first editable plane is displayed on the graphical user interface, the virtual scene is usually photographed in a preset photographing direction. The preset photographing direction can be opposite to the normal direction of the first editable plane, or can have a certain angle with the normal direction of the first editable plane, but less than 90 degrees.

[0054] After the first editable plane and the second editable plane are displayed, the user can perform a perspective adjustment operation again. The perspective adjustment operation usually acts on a specified area of the graphical user interface, or corresponding controls can also be preset to achieve perspective adjustment. In response to the perspective adjustment operation, the photographing direction of the virtual camera is updated. If the photographing angle of the virtual camera after the update is different from the preset photographing direction and is not parallel to the normal direction of the second editable plane, the first editable plane, the second editable plane and the third editable plane can be displayed simultaneously, as Figure 4 shown.

[0055] The following embodiments provide a specific method for determining a target editing plane from multiple editable planes.

[0056] When the editable space includes a first editable plane, a fourth editable plane at a first preset angle to the first editable plane, and a fifth editable plane at a second preset angle to the first editable plane. For example, the first editable plane, the fourth editable plane, and the fifth editable plane can be perpendicular to each other pairwise.

[0057] When the graphical user interface simultaneously displays the first editable plane, the fourth editable plane, and the fifth editable plane, the player can select any editable plane as the target editing plane. In a specific implementation, in response to a trigger operation acting on the display area of the second plane among the multiple editable planes, the second plane is determined as the target editing plane. The trigger operation can be an operation such as clicking or long pressing, and is not limited herein.

[0058] After determining the target editing plane, the shooting direction of the virtual camera can be updated so that the shooting direction is parallel to the normal direction of the target editing plane, that is, the virtual camera shoots towards the target editing plane. Then, the image generated by the updated virtual camera is displayed on the graphical user interface, and the identifier of the target editing plane is displayed on the image.

[0059] The following embodiments provide a specific way to fill the target material in the target editing plane and / or the related space of the target editing plane in response to the material filling operation.

[0060] The target editing plane usually includes a plurality of adjacent cells. The user can perform a sliding operation on the target editing plane. In response to the sliding operation applied to the target editing plane, the target material is filled in the cells and / or the related space of the cells through which the trajectory of the sliding operation passes. As Figure 5 shown, the sliding trajectory on the first editable plane is displayed. This method realizes batch material filling and improves the efficiency of material filling.

[0061] The user can also delete the material in the filled cells. In response to the selection operation on the filled cells, a delete control is displayed on the graphical user interface. Among them, the selection operation can be a click operation, a sliding operation, etc., which are not limited here. In response to the triggering operation on the delete control, the target material is deleted from the cells and / or the related space of the cells selected by the selection operation.

[0062] The embodiments of the present disclosure also provide another method for editing a virtual scene. This method is implemented based on the method shown in Figure 1 . In this method, the player can turn on the "Free Batch Construction" mode, that is, the same type of buildings (equivalent to the above-mentioned "virtual materials"), especially structural floors, walls, roofs, and wallpapers, can be automatically filled through a sliding path or a painted area; similarly, "batch deletion" of buildings is supported. Free batch construction can automatically determine and adjust to global operations in horizontal and vertical perspectives according to the selected buildings; at the same time, it supports manual conversion from horizontal to vertical perspectives; and it supports batch operations on horizontal planes at different heights.

[0063] This method is specifically implemented through the following means:

[0064] 1. When the player is building, click "Batch Construction" to automatically open the "Global Perspective". The global perspective supports two-handed zooming, and on the computer side, it supports zooming through the mouse wheel. When the player continuously zooms out in the global perspective, it can be seamlessly connected to the normal perspective. In the global perspective, even a "reference image" can be used to copy a special-shaped foundation.

[0065] For example, if a player wants to replicate a building of a special shape, such as a puppy-shaped building, they can use the three views as a reference to accurately construct the shape.

[0066] 2. After the player selects the building materials (equivalent to the above-mentioned "virtual materials"), they can freely draw a route with their finger or mouse, and the cells along this route will automatically be paved with the selected building materials.

[0067] The following specific drawing rules can be adopted:

[0068] a. Pressing and holding until releasing is considered one drawing. The path can be repeated, and this process can be called "path paving".

[0069] b. By the edge connection lines and the areas passed by the path, it is determined whether each cell in the editable plane is passed through, and an automatic avoidance mechanism for edge overflow (or adsorption mechanism) can be automatically recognized.

[0070] c. The player can also smear a certain area, similar to "painting with a paint palette" for area paving.

[0071] 3. Similarly, the player can perform the reverse operation of demolishing the building for the path / area. The player can select the already paved building by "clicking", "drawing a path", or "smearing an area". After clicking the delete button, batch deletion can be performed.

[0072] 4. Similarly, the player can perform the same operations on the vertical plane as on the horizontal plane, which can be used for the expansion of tall buildings. Among them, both the above-mentioned vertical plane and horizontal plane can be regarded as the above-mentioned "editable plane".

[0073] 5. The system will automatically judge whether to display the horizontal view or the vertical view according to the position attribute of the building materials selected by the player (which can also be called "result"). When the player wants to temporarily change the view, in addition to switching the building, they can also manually change it. For example, enter the view adjustment operation and turn the view to the horizontal plane.

[0074] 6. When the player turns the view to the middle angle through the view adjustment operation, that is, the angle between the horizontal and vertical planes, an editable plane from horizontal to vertical (equivalent to the above-mentioned "cross-section") will appear simultaneously, and there are two planes in the vertical plane with intersecting directions. At this time, the player can freely select the editable plane for global batch construction. They can choose from three editable planes. Pressing and holding can be used for plane preselection, similar to a toggle switch. When a certain editable plane is selected, the view will automatically change to a front view with this editable plane as the reference, and the view will change accordingly. Pressing and holding can be used for plane selection, and releasing determines the selection.

[0075] This method can break through the limitations of perspective and movement in the early stage of building structures, and can be laid "quickly and freely". For example, by smearing a range, the building can be automatically filled on the free drawing path. And there is an intuitive understanding of the global three-dimensional space, intelligently switching the global perspective of the horizontal and vertical planes, switching multiple heights of the horizontal plane, etc. It can create more precise shapes of construction, save a lot of meaningless operation time, and improve the ease of use and fun of construction.
