Description

Background Art

[0002] In some games, for example, in games with a UGC (User-Generated-Content) editor, aligning a virtual model with the rest of the virtual models in the game scene is a common operation. For example, keeping a virtual model parallel to the rest of the virtual models.

[0003] Currently, each virtual model in the game scene corresponds to a standard spatial coordinate system. Players control its displacement and rotation by adjusting the xyz coordinate values of the virtual model to align and fit its plane with the planes of other virtual models. However, for irregular virtual models, such as the alignment and fitting of two inclined planes, the above method requires players to adjust multiple times and observe whether they are aligned, resulting in low efficiency and poor flexibility of user operations. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The present disclosure provides a control method for virtual models, a control device for virtual models, a computer storage medium, and an electronic device, thereby improving the efficiency of aligning and fitting multiple virtual models and the flexibility of user operations.

[0005] In a first aspect, an embodiment of the present disclosure provides a control method for virtual models. The method provides a graphical user interface through a terminal device. The graphical user interface at least includes a partial virtual scene and multiple virtual models located in the virtual scene, and includes: responding to a first touch operation acting on a first model plane in a first virtual model, creating a spatial coordinate system based on the first model plane; responding to a second touch operation acting on a second model plane in a second virtual model, and displaying coordinate system parameters of the second model plane in the spatial coordinate system in the graphical user interface; where the first virtual model is any one of the multiple virtual models, and the second virtual model is any other virtual model except the first virtual model among the multiple virtual models; responding to an adjustment operation for the coordinate system parameters, and adjusting the second virtual model according to the adjusted coordinate system parameters to control the second model plane of the second virtual model to reach a target state with the first model plane of the first virtual model.

[0006] Second aspect, an embodiment of the present disclosure provides a control device for a virtual model. The device provides a graphical user interface through a terminal device. The graphical user interface at least includes a partial virtual scene and multiple virtual models located in the virtual scene, including: a coordinate system creation module, configured to respond to a first touch operation acting on a first model plane in a first virtual model, and create a three-dimensional space coordinate system based on the first model plane; a parameter display module, configured to respond to a second touch operation acting on a second model plane in a second virtual model, and display coordinate system parameters of the second model plane in the space coordinate system in the graphical user interface; wherein, the first virtual model is any one of the multiple virtual models, and the second virtual model is any other virtual model among the multiple virtual models except the first virtual model; a model control module, configured to respond to an adjustment operation for the coordinate system parameters, and adjust the second virtual model according to the adjusted coordinate system parameters, so as to control the second model plane of the second virtual model and the first model plane of the first virtual model to reach a target state.

[0007] Third aspect, an embodiment of the present disclosure provides a computer-readable storage medium, on which a computer program is stored. When the computer program is executed by a processor, it implements the above control method for a virtual model.

[0008] Fourth aspect, an embodiment of the present disclosure provides an electronic device, including: a processor; and a memory for storing executable instructions of the processor; wherein, the processor is configured to execute the above control method for a virtual model by executing the executable instructions.

[0009] Fifth aspect, an embodiment of the present disclosure provides a computer program product, including a computer program. When the computer program is executed by a processor, it implements the above control method for a virtual model.

[0010] The technical solution of the present disclosure has the following beneficial effects:

[0011] For the above control method for a virtual model, by responding to a first touch operation acting on a first model plane in a first virtual model, a space coordinate system is created based on the first model plane; by responding to a second touch operation acting on a second model plane in a second virtual model, coordinate system parameters of the second model plane in the space coordinate system are displayed in the graphical user interface; wherein, the first virtual model is any one of the multiple virtual models, and the second virtual model is any other virtual model among the multiple virtual models except the first virtual model; by responding to an adjustment operation for the coordinate system parameters, the second virtual model is adjusted according to the adjusted coordinate system parameters, so as to control the second model plane of the second virtual model and the first model plane of the first virtual model to reach a target state.

[0012] When it is necessary to control the second model plane of the second virtual model and the first model plane of the first virtual model to reach the target state, a space coordinate system is established based on the first model plane of the first virtual model, and then the model planes of other virtual models are controlled to adjust coordinate system parameters such as position and rotation angle in this space coordinate system. On the one hand, this method can assist players in flexibly selecting the fitting and alignment operations of multiple virtual models in different plane dimensions, thus solving the technical problem in the prior art that only supports controlling the displacement and rotation of virtual models by using the standard coordinate system angle created with the center point of the virtual model as the coordinate origin, resulting in poor user operation flexibility. On the other hand, by adjusting coordinate system parameters such as position and rotation angle of the model planes of other virtual models in the space coordinate system of this virtual model, the quick fitting and alignment of multiple virtual models can be achieved, and users do not need to adjust multiple times and observe whether they are fitted, thereby improving the efficiency of controlling the fitting and alignment of multiple virtual models in a virtual scene.

[0025] Exemplary embodiments will now be described more fully with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the exemplary embodiments can be implemented in various forms and should not be construed as limited to the examples set forth herein; rather, these embodiments are provided so that this disclosure will be more thorough and complete, and will fully convey the concept of the exemplary embodiments to those skilled in the art. The features, structures, or characteristics described may be combined in any suitable manner in one or more embodiments. In the following description, numerous specific details are provided to give a thorough understanding of the embodiments of the present disclosure. However, those skilled in the art will realize that the technical solutions of the present disclosure can be practiced without one or more of the specific details, or other methods, components, devices, steps, etc. can be adopted. In other cases, well-known technical solutions are not shown or described in detail to avoid obscuring the various aspects of the present disclosure.

[0026] In addition, the accompanying drawings are only schematic illustrations of the present disclosure and are not necessarily drawn to scale. The same reference numerals in the figures denote the same or similar parts, and thus their repeated description will be omitted. Some of the block diagrams shown in the figures are functional entities and do not necessarily correspond to physically or logically independent entities. These functional entities can be implemented in software form, or in one or more hardware modules or integrated circuits, or in different networks and / or processor devices and / or microcontroller devices.

[0027] The flowcharts shown in the accompanying drawings are only exemplary illustrations and do not necessarily include all the steps. For example, some steps can be further decomposed, while some steps can be combined or partially combined, so the actual execution order may be changed according to the actual situation.

[0028] In some games, for example, in games with a UGC (User-Generated-Content) editor, aligning a virtual model with the remaining virtual models in the game scene is a common operation. For example, keeping a virtual model parallel to or in planar contact with the remaining virtual models, or reducing the gap between them.

[0029] Currently, taking three-dimensional space as an example, the editor creates a three-dimensional space coordinate system with the center point of the virtual model as the coordinate origin. Players can achieve the aligned placement of the virtual model by manipulating the movement control for moving the position of the virtual model and the rotation control for adjusting the placement angle of the virtual model set in the game interface. For example, the movement control and the rotation control are displayed in the form of a left and right double turntable, and players can manipulate the movement or rotation of the virtual model by sliding the turntable. However, the above method requires a high level of manipulation skills from players for fine-tuning the controls and has low accuracy. Moreover, for irregular virtual models, such as the alignment of two inclined planes, or for achieving the alignment of more than two virtual models, players need to perform multiple operations, resulting in low efficiency in controlling the virtual model. In addition, players can only perform displacement and rotation on the whole of the virtual model, and it is difficult for users to flexibly control multiple virtual models more precisely. No effective solution has been proposed for the above problems.

[0030] In view of the above problems, an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure proposes a method for controlling a virtual model. When it is necessary to control the second model plane of the second virtual model to reach a target state with the first model plane of the first virtual model, a space coordinate system is established based on the first model plane of the first virtual model, and then the model planes of other virtual models are controlled to adjust coordinate system parameters such as position and rotation angle in this space coordinate system. On the one hand, this method can assist players in flexibly selecting to achieve the fitting and alignment operations of multiple virtual models in different plane dimensions, thereby solving the technical problem of poor user operation flexibility in the prior art, where only the standard coordinate system angle created with the center point of the virtual model as the coordinate origin is supported to control the displacement and rotation of the virtual model. On the other hand, by adjusting coordinate system parameters such as position and rotation angle of the model planes of other virtual models in the space coordinate system of this virtual model, the rapid fitting and alignment of multiple virtual models can be achieved, and users do not need to repeatedly adjust and observe whether they are fitted, thus improving the efficiency of controlling the fitting and alignment of multiple virtual models in the virtual scene.

[0031] An embodiment of the present disclosure proposes a method and apparatus for controlling a virtual model, which can be applied to Figure 1 the system architecture of the exemplary application environment shown.

[0032] As Figure 1As shown, the system architecture 100 may include a terminal device 101 and a server 102.

[0033] Among them, the terminal device 101 may be, for example, any device involved in virtual model control such as a mobile phone, a tablet computer (PAD), a laptop computer, a desktop computer, a smart TV, a smart vehicle-mounted device, a smart wearable device, a smart TV, and an aircraft. The terminal device may be installed with a game application or other applications that support virtual model control. It should be noted that the applications involved in the embodiments of the present disclosure may be software clients, or may also be clients such as web pages and applets. And the server 202 is the server corresponding to the software or web page, applet, etc., without limiting the specific type of the client. And taking the game application scenario as an example, the terminal device 101 includes a display screen and a processor. The display screen is used to present the game interface and receive operations generated by the player on the game interface. The game interface may include a part of the virtual game scene, and the virtual game scene is a virtual world where virtual characters carry out activities. The processor is used to run the game, generate the game interface, respond to operations, and control the display of the game screen on the display screen. When the player operates the game interface through the display screen, the game interface may control the content on the terminal locally in response to the received operation instruction, or may also control the content of the peer server in response to the received operation instruction.

[0034] The server 102 may be the background server of the game application, used to provide corresponding background services for it, such as collecting game data, matching corresponding game resources for multiple players, etc. It may be an independent physical server, or a server cluster or distributed system composed of multiple physical servers, or may also be a cloud server that provides basic cloud computing services such as cloud services, cloud databases, cloud computing, cloud functions, cloud storage, network services, cloud communications, middleware services, domain name services, security services, i.e., Content Delivery Network (CDN), and big data and artificial intelligence platforms, but is not limited thereto.

[0035] In an alternative embodiment, when the control method of the virtual model in the game runs on the terminal device, the terminal device stores a game application program and a game virtual scene. The terminal device interacts with the player through a graphical player interface. The way the terminal device provides the graphical player interface to the player may include various methods. For example, it may be rendered and displayed on the display screen of the terminal device, or the graphical player interface may be presented through holographic projection.

[0036] In an optional embodiment, when the control method of the virtual model in the game runs on the server, the method can be implemented and executed based on a cloud game system. The cloud game system refers to a game mode based on cloud computing. The cloud game system includes a server and a client device. The running entity of the game application and the entity presenting the game screen are separated. The storage and running of the game video display method in the game are completed on the server. The game screen presentation is completed on the client. The client is mainly used for receiving and sending game data and presenting the game interface. For example, the client can be a display device with data transmission function near the player side, such as a mobile terminal, a television, a computer, a palm computer, a personal digital assistant, etc. However, the terminal device for processing game data is the server in the cloud. When playing the game, the player operates the client to send instructions to the server. The server controls the running of the game according to the instructions, encodes and compresses data such as the game screen, returns it to the client through the network, and finally, the client decodes and outputs the game screen.

[0037] It should be noted that in the embodiments of the present disclosure, the execution entity of the control method of the virtual model can be the terminal device 101 or the server 102. Among them, the terminal device can be a local terminal device or the client device in the aforementioned cloud game. The embodiments of the present application do not limit the type of the execution entity. When the editing method of the virtual scene provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure is executed independently by the server 202 or the terminal device 201, the above application scenario may also include only a single device of the server 202 or the terminal device 201, or it can also be considered that the server 202 and the terminal device 201 are the same device. Of course, in actual application, when the editing method of the virtual scene provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure is jointly executed by the server 202 and the terminal device 201, the server 202 and the terminal device 201 can also be the same device, that is, the server 202 and the terminal device 201 can be different functional modules of the same device, or virtual devices virtualized by the same physical device.

[0038] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the terminal device 101 and the server 102 can be directly or indirectly communicatively connected through one or more networks 103. The network 103 can be a wired network or a wireless network. For example, the wireless network can be a mobile cellular network or a Wireless-Fidelity (WIFI) network. Of course, it can also be other possible networks, and the embodiments of the present application do not limit this.

[0039] It should be noted that Figure 1The schematic diagram of the game system shown is merely an example. The game applications described in the embodiments of this application are used to more clearly illustrate the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application, and do not constitute a limitation on the technical solutions provided by the embodiments of this application. Those of ordinary skill in the art will know that with the evolution of the game system and the emergence of new business scenarios, the technical solutions provided by the embodiments of this application are equally applicable to similar technical problems.

[0040] It should be noted that all manipulation instructions that appear in the subsequent detailed introduction of the method for controlling a virtual model provided by the embodiments of this application can be regarded as manipulation instructions implemented by the player through media such as fingers, a mouse, a keyboard, or a stylus. Which medium to use specifically can be determined according to the type of terminal device. For example, when the terminal device is a touch-screen device such as a mobile phone, a tablet computer, or a game console, the player can operate on the touch screen through any suitable object or accessory such as a finger or a stylus. For example, the operation can be a sliding operation such as swiping up, down, left, or right, a long-press operation, a click operation, a double-click operation, etc., but is not limited thereto. When the terminal device is a non-touch-screen terminal device such as a desktop computer or a laptop computer, the player can operate through external devices such as a mouse or a keyboard, but is not limited thereto.

[0041] The technical solutions of this application will be described in detail below through specific embodiments. It should be noted that these several specific embodiments can be combined with each other, and the same or similar concepts or processes may not be repeated in some embodiments.

[0042] See Figure 2 , Figure 2 A flowchart of a method for controlling a virtual model in an exemplary embodiment is schematically shown. It should be noted that the steps shown can be executed in a logical order different from that shown in the flowchart of this method. The method for controlling a virtual model provided by the embodiments of this disclosure may include the following steps S201 - step S203:

[0043] Step S201, in response to a first touch operation on a first model plane in a first virtual model, create a spatial coordinate system based on the first model plane.

[0044] Step S202, in response to a second touch operation on a second model plane in a second virtual model, display the coordinate system parameters of the second model plane in the spatial coordinate system in the graphical user interface; wherein, the first virtual model is any one of a plurality of virtual models, and the second virtual model is any other one of the plurality of virtual models except the first virtual model.

[0045] Step S203: In response to an adjustment operation for coordinate system parameters, adjust the second virtual model according to the adjusted coordinate system parameters, so as to control the second model plane of the second virtual model and the first model plane of the first virtual model to reach a target state.

[0046] In the technical solution described above Figure 2 When it is necessary to control the second model plane of the second virtual model and the first model plane of the first virtual model to reach a target state, a spatial coordinate system is established with the first model plane of the first virtual model as a reference, and then the model planes of other virtual models are controlled to adjust coordinate system parameters such as position and rotation angle in this spatial coordinate system. On the one hand, this method can assist players in flexibly selecting the fitting and alignment operations of multiple virtual models in different plane dimensions, thus solving the technical problem in the prior art that there is only support for controlling the displacement and rotation of virtual models by using the standard coordinate system angle created with the center point of the virtual model as the coordinate origin, resulting in poor user operation flexibility. On the other hand, by adjusting coordinate system parameters such as position and rotation angle of the model planes of other virtual models in the spatial coordinate system of this virtual model, the quick fitting and alignment of multiple virtual models can be achieved, and users do not need to adjust multiple times and observe whether they are fitted, thereby improving the efficiency of controlling the fitting and alignment of multiple virtual models in a virtual scene.

[0047] The following will elaborate on the specific implementation manners of each step in the Figure 2 illustrated embodiment in detail:

[0048] In step S201, in response to a first touch operation on the first model plane in the first virtual model, create a spatial coordinate system based on the first model plane.

[0049] Among them, the virtual scene contains at least two or more virtual models, and the shapes of the multiple virtual models can be the same or different. The first virtual model can be any virtual model in the virtual scene, and each virtual model and each element in the virtual scene can be regarded as a virtual model. The virtual model can be a model with a regular shape, such as a cube, a cuboid, a cone, a cylinder, etc.; the virtual model can also be a model with an irregular shape. The virtual model can be a single model or a combination of multiple models. The embodiments of the present disclosure do not impose any special restrictions on this.

[0050] The above virtual scenario is a scenario where the user controls a virtual model to complete a specific logic. Taking a game scenario as an example, the virtual scenario may include any one or more of the following elements: game environment elements, game virtual model elements, game prop elements, etc. The game environment elements may include elements such as virtual sky, virtual land, virtual ocean, virtual city, etc. For example, games in which players can freely place virtual models may include: games with hide-and-seek gameplay, scene construction games / UGC games, etc. In UGC games, players can freely build a virtual game scene by placing different virtual models in the game. For example, in a virtual scenario of urban construction, adding building models, virtual character models, lane models, etc., sometimes it is necessary to perform fitting and alignment operations on multiple virtual models. In a game with hide-and-seek gameplay, players can control the virtual model after transformation to hide it better in the virtual scenario, and sometimes it is necessary to align it with some other virtual models in the virtual scenario.

[0051] Among them, the first virtual model includes multiple model planes. Taking a cube model as an example, it includes 6 model planes, and the user can select one model plane from them. The first touch operation can be a sliding operation such as swiping up, down, left, or right, a long-press operation, a click operation, a double-click operation, etc. The spatial coordinate system can be a three-dimensional coordinate system (i.e., the x, y, z-axis coordinate system), or a coordinate system of a higher dimension. The embodiments of the present disclosure do not make any special restrictions on this.

[0052] Exemplarily, taking the first touch operation as a click operation and a three-dimensional space as an example, when the terminal device detects a click operation acting on the first model plane in the first virtual model, a three-dimensional space coordinate system is established based on the first model plane.

[0053] To facilitate user operation, the user operation can be visualized. In an optional embodiment of the present disclosure, in response to the first touch operation acting on the first model plane in the first virtual model, the first model plane in the first virtual model is displayed in a differentiated manner;

[0054] Among them, the differentiated display includes one or a combination of the following ways:

[0055] Display color;

[0056] Display state;

[0057] Filling pattern.

[0058] Among them, the display state may include one or more of the following: highlighted / non-highlighted display state, shaded / unshaded state, with reflection / without reflection display state, edge softening / without edge softening display state.

[0059] For example, each model plane in the first virtual model is displayed in black. When the terminal device responds to a first touch operation on the first model plane in the first virtual model, the first model plane can be displayed in red, and the remaining unselected model planes remain displayed in black. Or, each model plane in the first virtual model is displayed in a non-highlighted state. When the terminal device responds to a first touch operation on the first model plane in the first virtual model, the first model plane can be displayed in a highlighted state, and the remaining unselected model planes remain displayed in a non-highlighted state. In addition to the above embodiments, it can also be a combination of various differentiated display states. For example, each model plane in the first virtual model is displayed in black and in a non-highlighted state. When the terminal device responds to a first touch operation on the first model plane in the first virtual model, the first model plane can be displayed in red and updated to a highlighted state.

[0060] Through the above embodiments, the user's operations are visualized so that the user can clearly understand the currently selected model plane, thereby avoiding misoperations.

[0061] Combined with the above examples, next, taking a three-dimensional space as an example and combining Figures 3 to 5 an exemplary illustration of the entire process of the above embodiments will be given.

[0062] Figure 3 A schematic diagram showing a virtual scene including multiple virtual models in this exemplary embodiment is schematically shown; referring to Figure 3 as shown, the virtual scene 301 includes three virtual models, namely virtual model A, virtual model B, and virtual model C. Moreover, the model shapes of the above virtual model A, virtual model B, and virtual model C are all different, and each virtual model includes multiple model planes. From Figure 3 the multiple model planes of the multiple virtual models shown, the model plane can be a plane conforming to a regular figure, such as the rectangular plane in virtual model C, or it can be an inclined plane such as in virtual model A, or it can be a curved surface as shown in virtual model B. The embodiments of the present disclosure do not impose any special restrictions on this.

[0063] To facilitate the editing operations on the multiple virtual models included in the above virtual scene 301, a plurality of editable controls for implementing different editing functions are provided on the graphical user interface. As Figure 3Settings control, save control, undo control, restore control, co-construction control, teaching control, log control, etc. located in the upper left area of the graphical user interface, more controls, multi-selection control, copy control, trial play control located in the left area of the graphical user interface; up and down control controls, hidden interface call-out control, etc. located in the right area of the graphical user interface. Taking the co-construction control as an example, in response to a touch operation on the co-construction control, the terminal device can enable multiple users to perform operations such as editing and adjusting the virtual models A, B, and C in the virtual scene 301 at the same time.

[0064] Figure 4 Schematically showing a schematic diagram of determining a first virtual model and selecting a first model plane in this exemplary embodiment; based on the above Figure 3 On the basis of the three virtual models shown, assume that the user selects virtual model C as the first virtual model, and the user selects the model plane 401 of virtual model C as the first model plane through a touch operation as shown in Figure 3 shown.

[0065] In an optional embodiment, in order to facilitate the user to determine whether the model plane of virtual model C is selected and whether the selected model plane is the first model plane that the user wants to select, the selected model plane 401 can be distinguished from the other model planes of virtual model C and the model planes of virtual models A and B. For example, as shown in Figure 4 shown, the selected model plane 401 in virtual model C is updated to a style filled with a specific pattern, and the other unselected model planes need to maintain the original style without pattern filling.

[0066] Figure 5 Schematically showing a schematic diagram of creating a spatial coordinate system in this exemplary embodiment; after the selected model plane 401 is selected, a spatial coordinate system can be created based on this model plane 401 as a reference. Specifically, referring to Figure 4 shown, one vertex of the model plane 401 is used as the coordinate origin, the sides where the model plane 401 is located are used as the x-axis and y-axis, and the axis perpendicular to the model plane 401 is used as the z-axis to create the xyz axes of the three-dimensional space. Figure 5 shown.

[0067] It can be understood that the plane where the model plane 401 is located can also be used as the x-axis and z-axis. Correspondingly, the axis perpendicular to the model plane 401 is used as the y-axis, or the plane where the model plane 401 is located is used as the z-axis and y-axis, and the axis perpendicular to the model plane 401 is used as the x-axis.

[0068] Furthermore, in an optional embodiment, an adjustment trigger control is also provided in the graphical user interface. After performing the aboveFigure 2 Before any of the steps shown, in response to a third touch operation on the adjustment trigger control, the terminal device controls the graphical user interface to enter the virtual model adjustment mode to create a spatial coordinate system in the virtual model adjustment mode.

[0069] Among them, the third touch operation may be the same as or different from the first touch operation. For example, both the third touch operation and the first touch operation may be click operations. The adjustment trigger control may be configured in the lower-level interface of the setting control in the graphical user interface shown. For example, the user triggers the setting control to display the adjustment trigger control in the popped-up interface. The adjustment trigger control may also be directly configured on the graphical user interface shown Figure 3 (not shown in Figure 3 ), and the embodiments of the present disclosure do not impose any special restrictions on this. Figure 3

[0070] Exemplarily, a graphical user interface may also provide an adjustment trigger control so that the user can control the graphical user interface to enter the virtual model adjustment mode through a click operation on the adjustment trigger control. Further, in the virtual model adjustment mode, multiple virtual model placement adjustment operations can be performed. Otherwise, that is, if the click operation on the adjustment trigger control is not performed, only the player needs to add a new virtual model and perform operations such as moving the virtual model by dragging and adjusting the size of the virtual model. The embodiments of the present disclosure do not impose any special restrictions on this.

[0071] Through the above embodiments, the user can freely choose whether to start the virtual model adjustment mode, improving the flexibility of user operations and thus meeting different operation requirements of the user.

[0072] Continuing to refer to step S202, in response to a second touch operation on the second model plane in the second virtual model, the coordinate system parameters of the second model plane in the spatial coordinate system are displayed in the graphical user interface; where the first virtual model is any one of the multiple virtual models, and the second virtual model is any one of the other virtual models except the first virtual model among the multiple virtual models.

[0073] Among them, the second virtual model is any one of the other virtual models except the first virtual model among the multiple virtual models. The second touch operation may be the same as the first touch operation. For example, both the first touch operation and the second touch operation are click operations, or the second touch operation may be different from the first touch operation. For example, the first touch operation is a click operation and the second touch operation is a slide operation.

[0074] In an optional embodiment of the present disclosure, when the terminal device responds to a second touch operation on the second model plane in the second virtual model, the second model plane in the second virtual model is displayed in a differentiated manner.

[0075] Among them, the way to differentially display the second model plane in the second virtual model may be the same as or different from the way to differentially display the first model plane of the first virtual model. The embodiments of the present disclosure do not impose any special restrictions on this.

[0076] Exemplarily, when the terminal device responds to a second touch operation on the second model plane in the second virtual model, the coordinate system parameters of the second model plane in the space coordinate system can be displayed in the graphical user interface.

[0077] In an alternative embodiment, the coordinate system parameters include one or more of the following combinations:

[0078] The coordinate parameter values of each spatial coordinate axis in the space coordinate system;

[0079] The rotation angle values around each spatial coordinate axis.

[0080] Exemplarily, taking the three-dimensional space coordinate system composed of the xyz coordinate axes as an example, the coordinate parameter values of each spatial coordinate axis are the x-axis coordinate parameter value, the y-axis coordinate parameter value, and the z-axis coordinate parameter value. And the rotation angle values around each spatial coordinate axis can be: the rotation angle value around the x-axis, the rotation angle value around the y-axis, and the rotation angle value around the z-axis.

[0081] It can be understood that taking the rotation angle value around the x-axis as an example, if the clockwise rotation around the x-axis is set as the positive rotation angle value, then the counterclockwise rotation around the x-axis is the negative rotation angle value.

[0082] Combined with the above examples, the following will be combined with Figures 6 to 7A to give an exemplary illustration of the whole process of the above embodiment.

[0083] Figure 6 Schematically shows a schematic diagram of determining a second virtual model and selecting a second model plane in this exemplary embodiment; referring to Figure 6 as shown, when the terminal device responds to a click operation on the second model plane (i.e., model plane 601) in the second virtual model (i.e., virtual model A), the selected model plane 601 in virtual model A is differentially displayed in a pattern filling manner.

[0084] Figure 7A Schematically shows a schematic diagram of displaying axis parameters in this exemplary embodiment; on the basis of Figure 6 , referring to Figure 7A, after selecting the model plane 601, a sub-interface 701 containing multiple coordinate system parameters is displayed in the graphical user interface. The multiple axis parameters included in this sub-interface 701 are the coordinate system parameters of the model plane 601 under the three-dimensional space coordinate system constructed for the model plane 401 of the virtual model C. This process realizes the adjustment operation of the model plane 601 of the virtual model A on the plane coordinate system of the model plane 401 of the virtual model C.

[0085] Continue to refer to Figure 7A , the coordinate system parameters of the model plane 601 under the three-dimensional space coordinate system constructed for the model plane 401 of the virtual model C are displayed in the graphical user interface, such as including the x-axis coordinate value, y-axis coordinate value, z-axis coordinate value, angle x parameter, angle y parameter, and angle z parameter. Among them, the angle x parameter, angle y parameter, and angle z parameter respectively represent the angle value of rotation around the x-axis, the angle value of rotation around the y-axis, and the angle value of rotation around the z-axis. In addition, in the sub-interface 701 as shown in Figure 7A , each coordinate system parameter corresponds to an adjustment identifier and a parameter value display identifier. The user can increase or decrease the parameter value by the adjustment identifier according to a preset numerical interval (such as 1), and can also directly input the pre-modified parameter value through the parameter value display identifier.

[0086] In step S203, in response to the adjustment operation for the coordinate system parameters, the second virtual model is adjusted according to the adjusted coordinate system parameters to control the second model plane of the second virtual model and the first model plane of the first virtual model to reach the target state.

[0087] In an optional embodiment of the present disclosure, the target state includes one of the first state and the second state.

[0088] Among them, the first state is that the second model plane of the second virtual model is parallel and aligned with the first model plane of the first virtual model; the second state is that the second model plane of the second virtual model is in contact with the first model plane of the first virtual model.

[0089] Exemplarily, in response to the adjustment operation for the coordinate system parameters, the second virtual model is adjusted according to the adjusted coordinate system parameters to control the second model plane of the second virtual model and the first model plane of the first virtual model to be placed in parallel. At this time, there is a certain gap between the second model plane and the first model plane, and the second model plane and the first model plane are relatively parallelly displayed.

[0090] In response to the adjustment operation for the coordinate system parameters, the second virtual model is adjusted according to the adjusted coordinate system parameters to control the second model plane of the second virtual model and the first model plane of the first virtual model to be placed in contact. For example Figure 7AAs shown, the second virtual model (i.e., virtual model A) can be adjusted by adjusting the coordinate parameter values of the model plane 601 so that the model plane 601 fits the model plane 401 in the first virtual model (i.e., virtual model C).

[0091] It can be understood that for the model plane 601 of the virtual model A, since it is an inclined plane, when controlling it to fit the model plane 401 in the first virtual model (i.e., virtual model C), it is only necessary to control one or more points to fit the model plane 401, which can be specifically determined according to actual needs.

[0092] Through the above embodiments, players can flexibly adjust the coordinate system parameters of the second model plane displayed in the graphical user interface in the space coordinate system, so as to achieve different placement effects and improve the flexibility and diversity of user operations.

[0093] In an alternative embodiment of the present disclosure, in response to a second touch operation acting on the second model plane in the second virtual model, a first state adjustment control and / or a second state adjustment control are displayed in the graphical user interface; in response to a third touch operation acting on the first state adjustment control, the second virtual model is adjusted according to the first coordinate system parameters matching the first state to control the second model plane of the second virtual model to reach the first state with the first model plane of the first virtual model; in response to a fourth touch operation acting on the second state adjustment control, the second virtual model is adjusted according to the second coordinate system parameters matching the second state to control the second model plane of the second virtual model to reach the second state with the first model plane of the first virtual model.

[0094] Based on the above embodiments, the first state adjustment control and / or the second state adjustment control can be directly displayed in the graphical user interface. By triggering the first state adjustment control, the second virtual model can be quickly adjusted according to the first coordinate system parameters matching the first state, so that the second model plane of the second virtual model is parallel and aligned with the first model plane of the first virtual model. By triggering the second state adjustment control, the second virtual model can be quickly adjusted according to the second coordinate system parameters matching the second state, so that the second model plane of the second virtual model fits with the first model plane of the first virtual model.

[0095] Next, taking the case where both the first state adjustment control and the second state adjustment control are displayed in the graphical user interface as an example, in combination with Figure 7B an exemplary illustration will be given.

[0096] Figure 7B Schematically shows a display diagram of a first state adjustment control and a second state adjustment control in this exemplary embodiment; referring to Figure 7B as shown, it can also be inFigure 7A In the sub - interface 701 shown, an alignment control 702 and a fitting control 703 are provided. Thus, by triggering the alignment control 702, the second virtual model (i.e., virtual model A) can be quickly adjusted according to the first coordinate system parameters matching the parallel alignment state, so that the model plane 601 of virtual model A is parallel - aligned with the model plane 401 of virtual model C. In addition, the above - mentioned first coordinate system parameters can be synchronously updated to the corresponding coordinate system parameters in the sub - interface 701. Similarly, by triggering the fitting control 703, the second virtual model (i.e., virtual model A) can be quickly adjusted according to the second coordinate system parameters matching the fitting state, so that the model plane 601 of virtual model A fits with the model plane 401 of virtual model C. In addition, the above - mentioned second coordinate system parameters can be synchronously updated to the corresponding coordinate system parameters in the sub - interface 701.

[0097] Through the above - mentioned embodiments, multiple virtual models can be quickly adjusted according to specific states without the player manually adjusting the coordinate system parameters, improving the efficiency and accuracy of virtual model control.

[0098] In any of the above - mentioned embodiments, the first model plane and the second model plane can each be one of a plane, an inclined plane, and a curved surface.

[0099] Through the above - mentioned embodiments, the placement of multiple virtual models with regular planes in the target state can be achieved, and the placement of multiple virtual models with irregular planes in the target state can also be achieved, improving the adaptability and flexibility of virtual model control.
