Description

Technical Field

[0001] This disclosure relates to the field of Internet technology, and in particular to a method, apparatus, electronic device and storage medium for generating a virtual courtyard scene. Background Technology

[0002] Against the backdrop of the rapid development of the digital content creation industry, traditional manual modeling methods are no longer sufficient to meet the growing demand for large-scale, high-quality 3D scenes, especially those rich in unique cultural elements. This is particularly evident in the creation of traditional Chinese courtyard houses, which require the accurate reproduction of traditional Chinese architectural aesthetics and spatial philosophy.

[0003] To improve creative efficiency, the industry has evolved from entirely manual to partially automated methods. Early on, generative artificial intelligence (AIGC) technology made significant progress in image generation, capable of generating aesthetically pleasing traditional Chinese-style images based on text descriptions. For example, some professional platforms can generate ink-wash style landscapes and pavilions using text prompts, demonstrating AI's potential in stylized creation. However, the results generated by these methods are mostly two-dimensional images, lacking interactive and editable three-dimensional geometric information and spatial relationships, making them difficult to directly apply to scenarios requiring three-dimensional models, such as games and virtual reality.

[0004] In the field of 3D generation, existing technologies largely rely on Building Information Modeling (BIM) or pre-built modular component libraries. For example, some patented technologies use HBIM (Historical Building Information Modeling) to digitally reconstruct ancient buildings, protecting architectural information through detailed modeling and semantic attribute separation. Other technologies aim to improve the efficiency of interior design by automatically generating renovation plans and renderings of house types using generative AI. While these technologies improve efficiency in specific areas, their adaptability to non-standardized, highly stylized scenarios with flexible and varied component combinations, such as traditional Chinese courtyard houses, remains insufficient. They often fail to effectively handle the coexistence of randomness and regularity in courtyard layouts, as well as the organic combination of numerous heterogeneous components (such as artificial mountains and vegetation of varying shapes). Furthermore, in existing processes, the connection between art direction and procedural generation is not smooth enough; the designer's intentions are difficult for the system to accurately identify and execute, leading to deviations between the generated results and expectations, requiring significant manual adjustments.

[0026] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0027] It should be noted that the terms "first," "second," etc., used in the specification, claims, and accompanying drawings of this disclosure are used to distinguish similar first objects and are not necessarily used to describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that such data can be interchanged where appropriate so that the embodiments of this disclosure described herein can be implemented in orders other than those illustrated or described herein. The embodiments described in the following exemplary embodiments do not represent all embodiments consistent with this disclosure. Rather, they are merely examples of apparatuses and methods consistent with some aspects of this disclosure as detailed in the appended claims.

[0028] It should be noted that the user information (including but not limited to user device information, user personal information, etc.) and data (including but not limited to data used for display, data used for analysis, etc.) involved in this disclosure are all information and data authorized by the user or fully authorized by all parties.

[0029] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram illustrating the application environment of a method for generating a virtual courtyard scene according to an exemplary embodiment, such as... Figure 1 As shown, the application environment may include server 011 and client 012.

[0030] In some possible embodiments, server 011 may be a standalone physical server, a server cluster or distributed system consisting of multiple physical servers, or a cloud server providing basic cloud computing services such as cloud services, cloud databases, cloud computing, cloud functions, cloud storage, network services, cloud communication, middleware services, domain name services, security services, CDN (Content Delivery Network), and big data and artificial intelligence platforms. The operating system running on the server may include, but is not limited to, Android, iOS, Linux, Windows, Unix, etc.

[0031] In some possible embodiments, the client 012 described above may include, but is not limited to, image-type clients such as smartphones, desktop computers, tablets, laptops, smart speakers, digital assistants, augmented reality (AR) / virtual reality (VR) devices, and smart wearable devices. It may also be software running on the client, such as applications or mini-programs. Optionally, the operating system running on the client may include, but is not limited to, Android, iOS, Linux, Windows, and Unix systems.

[0032] In some possible embodiments, client 012 obtains a courtyard template file; the courtyard template file includes multiple pre-made courtyard color templates; each courtyard color template includes at least one color block; each color block indicates a type of scene element in the courtyard; each courtyard color template is processed by color block classification to obtain the scene element corresponding to each color block in each courtyard color template; based on the scene element corresponding to each color block, asset attribute information is assigned to each color block in each courtyard color template; the asset attribute information includes scene element, referenced asset path, asset size, asset orientation, or asset level; the asset model corresponding to each color block is determined; the asset model is used to respond to the courtyard generation command, and the asset attribute information is used to instantiate the asset model to generate a virtual courtyard scene. This embodiment of the application allows designers to precisely control the courtyard layout, the position and relationship of key components at the pixel level through the intuitiveness of the color templates, fundamentally avoiding the problems of excessive randomness and results that do not meet expectations common in traditional procedural generation methods, and reducing manual adjustments.

[0033] In one exemplary implementation, both the client and server databases can be node devices in the blockchain system, capable of sharing acquired and generated information with other node devices within the blockchain system, thus enabling information sharing among multiple node devices. Multiple node devices in the blockchain system can be configured with the same blockchain, which consists of multiple blocks. Adjacent blocks are related, ensuring that any data tampering in any block can be detected by the next block, thereby preventing data tampering and guaranteeing the security and reliability of the data in the blockchain.

[0034] Figure 2This is a flowchart illustrating a method for generating a virtual courtyard scene according to an exemplary embodiment. It should be noted that this specification provides the operational steps of the method as described in the embodiments or flowcharts, but based on conventional or non-inventive labor, more or fewer operational steps may be included. The order of steps listed in the embodiments is merely one possible execution order among many steps and does not represent the only execution order. In actual system or product execution, the method can be executed sequentially according to the embodiments or drawings, or in parallel (e.g., in a parallel processor or multi-threaded processing environment). Specifically, as shown... Figure 2 As shown, this flowchart includes at least the following steps S201-S203: In step S201, a courtyard template file is obtained; the courtyard template file includes multiple pre-made courtyard color templates; each courtyard color template includes at least one color block; each color block indicates a type of scene element in the courtyard.

[0035] In this embodiment, the Houdini engine can be used to read courtyard template files, which may include multiple pre-made courtyard color templates. Optionally, this courtyard template file can be used in a virtual game to provide courtyard construction for scenes within the game. Specifically, multiple pre-made courtyard color templates can be converted from images into Prim plane models.

[0036] In some possible embodiments, the courtyard template file includes courtyard template files corresponding to various types of courtyards. Optionally, the various types of courtyards include residences, mansions, official residences, palaces, and temples.

[0037] In this embodiment, the generation of various types of courtyards follows the size rules of the basic unit, meaning each courtyard has its own size. For example, the smallest courtyard is 1*1 grid, and the largest is 4*6 grid. Each grid (1*1 grid) can be considered a square area with a side length of 2m in the virtual game. Thus, in the virtual game, the smallest courtyard is 2m*2m, and the largest is 8m*12m.

[0038] Optionally, residences can include small and medium-sized residences. Small residences are 1x1 squares in size and can include scene elements such as thatched huts and mud-brick houses. Medium-sized residences are 2x2 squares in size. Optionally, mansions are 2x3 squares in size; mansions can be considered high-class or luxurious residences and may include scene elements such as small gardens. Optionally, official residences are 2x3 squares in size. Optionally, palaces and temples are both larger than 2x3 squares.

[0039] The aforementioned residences and mansions occupy a relatively small area in the virtual game, therefore, their numbers will appear relatively more frequently. Residences and mansions in the virtual game are primarily presented with asymmetrical layouts to break the monotony of large-scale placement. The aforementioned palaces can be presented with symmetrical layouts in the virtual game. The aforementioned temples can be presented with either symmetrical or asymmetrical layouts in the virtual game. Optionally, official residences, palaces, and temples occupy a larger area in the virtual game, therefore, their numbers will appear relatively fewer. For example, a palace with a size of 4x6 squares will only appear once per map.

[0040] In this embodiment of the application, each courtyard color template includes at least one color block, and each color block indicates a type of scene element in the courtyard. For example, orange color blocks indicate scene elements such as buildings (thatched houses, adobe houses, brick houses) and walls in the courtyard; dark gray color blocks indicate scene elements such as building bases in the courtyard; gray color blocks indicate scene elements such as roads in the courtyard; light gray color blocks indicate scene elements such as paving stones in the courtyard; yellow color blocks indicate scene elements such as props (stone lanterns, woodpile, water tanks, and stone mills in the courtyard); green color blocks indicate scene elements such as trees in the courtyard; emerald green color blocks indicate scene elements such as bamboo groves in the courtyard; dark green color blocks indicate scene elements such as rocks in the courtyard; and beige color blocks indicate scene elements such as garden units in the courtyard.

[0041] Optionally, in the 1x1 grid courtyard scene elements (such as small houses), the courtyard wall can be a fence or a mud wall, or there can be no wall. The props are mainly everyday scene elements such as haystacks and living supplies.

[0042] Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of a courtyard color template for a small dwelling according to an exemplary embodiment. It includes a variety of different small dwellings. The small dwellings may include orange color blocks indicating scene elements such as buildings and walls in the courtyard, yellow color blocks indicating scene elements such as props (stone lanterns, wood piles, water tanks and stone mills) in the courtyard, and green color blocks indicating scene elements such as trees in the courtyard.

[0043] Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram of a courtyard color template for a medium-sized dwelling according to an exemplary embodiment. It includes various different medium-sized dwellings. The medium-sized dwellings may include orange color blocks indicating scene elements such as buildings and walls in the courtyard, yellow color blocks indicating scene elements such as props (stone lanterns, wood piles, water tanks, and stone mills) in the courtyard, green color blocks indicating scene elements such as trees in the courtyard, and gray color blocks indicating scene elements such as roads in the courtyard.

[0044] Optional, courtyards of 2x2 grids or larger, with existing courtyard walls, and entrances distinguishing between accessible and inaccessible units by the "opening or closing of the door".

[0045] Optionally, embodiments of this application may also include different mansions and official residences with a size of 2*3 grids. Different mansions and official residences include orange color blocks indicating scene elements such as buildings and walls in the courtyard, yellow color blocks indicating scene elements such as props (stone lanterns, wood piles, water tanks, and stone mills) in the courtyard, green color blocks indicating scene elements such as trees in the courtyard, emerald green color blocks indicating scene elements such as bamboo forests in the courtyard, dark green color blocks indicating scene elements such as rocks in the courtyard, and gray color blocks indicating scene elements such as roads in the courtyard.

[0046] Optionally, embodiments of this application may also include different small palaces and temples with dimensions of 3*3, 3*4, or 4*3 grids. These different small palaces and temples include orange color blocks indicating scene elements such as buildings and walls in the courtyard; dark gray color blocks indicating scene elements such as building bases in the courtyard; yellow color blocks indicating scene elements such as props (stone lanterns, woodpile, water tanks, and stone mills) in the courtyard; green color blocks indicating scene elements such as trees in the courtyard; emerald green color blocks indicating scene elements such as bamboo groves in the courtyard; dark green color blocks indicating scene elements such as rocks in the courtyard; and gray color blocks indicating scene elements such as roads in the courtyard.

[0047] Optionally, embodiments of this application may also include different medium-sized palaces and temples with a size of 3*5 grids. These different medium-sized palaces and temples include orange color blocks indicating scene elements such as buildings and walls within the courtyard; dark gray color blocks indicating scene elements such as building bases within the courtyard; yellow color blocks indicating scene elements such as props (stone lanterns, woodpile, water tanks, and stone mills) within the courtyard; green color blocks indicating scene elements such as trees within the courtyard; emerald green color blocks indicating scene elements such as bamboo groves within the courtyard; dark green color blocks indicating scene elements such as rocks within the courtyard; and gray color blocks indicating scene elements such as roads within the courtyard.

[0048] Optionally, embodiments of this application may also include different large palaces and temples with dimensions of 4*5 or 4*6 grids. These different large palaces and temples include orange color blocks indicating scene elements such as buildings and walls within the courtyard; dark gray color blocks indicating scene elements such as building bases within the courtyard; yellow color blocks indicating scene elements such as props (stone lanterns, woodpile, water tanks, and stone mills) within the courtyard; green color blocks indicating scene elements such as trees within the courtyard; emerald green color blocks indicating scene elements such as bamboo groves within the courtyard; dark green color blocks indicating scene elements such as rocks within the courtyard; gray color blocks indicating scene elements such as roads within the courtyard; and beige color blocks indicating scene elements such as garden units within the courtyard.

[0049] In other words, depending on the needs of the virtual game, the courtyard template file can include various courtyard color templates for small houses, medium houses, mansions, official residences, small palaces, medium palaces, large palaces, small temples, medium temples, and large temples.

[0050] In step S203, color block classification processing is performed on each courtyard color template to obtain the scene element corresponding to each color block in each courtyard color template.

[0051] In this embodiment of the application, color block classification processing can be performed on each courtyard color template to obtain the scene element corresponding to each color block in each courtyard color template.

[0052] Figure 5 This is a flowchart illustrating a method for determining scene elements corresponding to each color block according to an exemplary embodiment, including: In step S501, the color scene element correspondence information is determined; the color scene element correspondence information includes multiple color identifiers and the scene element corresponding to each color identifier.

[0053] In some possible embodiments, color scene element correspondence information can be obtained, which may appear in the form of a color scene element lookup table, which may include multiple color identifiers and scene elements corresponding to each color identifier.

[0054] The various color markers and the corresponding scene elements for each color marker are as described above: orange blocks indicate scene elements such as buildings (thatched huts, mud houses, brick houses) and walls in the courtyard; dark gray blocks indicate scene elements such as building bases in the courtyard; gray blocks indicate scene elements such as roads in the courtyard; light gray blocks indicate scene elements such as paving stones in the courtyard; yellow blocks indicate scene elements such as props (stone lanterns, woodpile, water tank, and stone mill in the courtyard); green blocks indicate scene elements such as trees in the courtyard; emerald green blocks indicate scene elements such as bamboo groves in the courtyard; dark green blocks indicate scene elements such as rocks in the courtyard; and beige blocks indicate scene elements such as garden units in the courtyard.

[0055] In step S503, the scene element corresponding to each color block in the color template of each courtyard is determined according to the color scene element correspondence information.

[0056] In this embodiment of the application, the corresponding scene element can be determined from the color scene element corresponding information based on the color of the color block of each scene element.

[0057] In some possible embodiments, the color blocks of the courtyard color template can be segmented after color block classification. This breaks down the complex whole into "minimum operable units" that conform to rules, thus adapting to the flexibility, accuracy, and controllability of subsequent processes.

[0058] In this embodiment of the application, each consecutive color block in the color template of each courtyard can be divided to obtain multiple sub-color blocks corresponding to each consecutive color block. The colors of the multiple sub-color blocks after division are the same as the colors of the corresponding consecutive color blocks.

[0059] The following example uses roads within a courtyard. After the color block classification process described above, each color block in the courtyard's color template corresponds to a scene element, resulting in one or a few road scene elements within the entire courtyard. However, the final presentation of each road scene element in the virtual game relies on piecing together multiple standardized prefabricated road components from the asset library (such as 1m, 2m, and 4m long road segments, T-junctions, curves, etc.). Without segmentation, its size would far exceed the largest prefabricated road component in the asset library, making direct matching impossible later. After segmentation, the size of each unit can be controlled within the asset library's coverage area (e.g., segmented into 2m sections). By piecing together different units, long roads can be reconstructed, avoiding model stretching and deformation.

[0060] Secondly, even within roads, units at different locations may carry different attributes, such as size, orientation, and additional elements. For example, regarding orientation and curvature, road bends (L-shaped units) and slopes (sloping units) require independent orientation settings and can only be adjusted individually after segmentation. For additional elements, such as streetlights along a section of road, attributes can be added only to specific units after segmentation.

[0061] Furthermore, the entire scene is essentially the result of "unit splicing" (rock units, road units, tree units, etc.). If consecutive blocks of the same color are not segmented, it will disrupt the consistency of "unitization." In addition, segmentation also facilitates flexible control and precise resource allocation for symmetrical or asymmetrical approaches.

[0062] In step S205, asset attribute information is assigned to each color block in each courtyard color template based on the scene element corresponding to each color block; the asset attribute information includes scene element, referenced asset path, asset size, asset orientation, or asset level.

[0063] In this embodiment, asset attribute information can be assigned to each color block in each courtyard color template based on the scene element corresponding to each color block. After the asset attribute information is assigned, the asset attribute information includes scene element, referenced asset path, asset size, asset orientation, or asset level.

[0064] Optionally, determining the scene element corresponding to each color block involves defining the type of the color block, i.e., specifying what scene element the color block represents. Assigning asset attribute information to each color block refers to filling each scene with details. In this embodiment, different types of scene elements may have different attribute requirements, and determining the scene elements can limit which asset attribute information can be subsequently assigned.

[0065] In this embodiment, the referenced asset path indicates which asset model in the asset library should be used for this color block; the asset size indicates the size of this color block in the template, such as 1*1 grid; the asset orientation indicates the arrangement direction of the color blocks, such as whether a building is placed upright or rotated 90 degrees; and the asset level refers to the level of courtyards to which this color block can be applied.

[0066] In this embodiment, multiple pre-made courtyard color templates correspond to multiple courtyard levels based on different layout sizes, and the asset level includes at least one of the multiple courtyard levels. Optionally, after obtaining the courtyard template file, the multiple courtyard color templates can be classified according to the level division rules. For example, 1*1 and 2*2 grid courtyard color templates correspond to the first courtyard level, 2*3 grid courtyard color templates correspond to the second courtyard level, 3*3, 3*4, and 4*3 grid courtyard color templates correspond to the third courtyard level, 3*5 grid courtyard color templates correspond to the fourth courtyard level, and 4*5 and 4*6 grid courtyard color templates correspond to the fifth courtyard level. Assuming a certain color block is orange and the asset size is 2*3, its asset level is the fifth courtyard level, that is, it can be used for 4*5 and 4*6 grid courtyards.

[0067] In this embodiment of the application, the scene element, asset size, asset orientation and asset level corresponding to each color block can be determined. When the asset model file is successfully retrieved based on the scene element, asset size, asset orientation and asset level corresponding to each color block, the reference asset path corresponding to each color block is determined.

[0068] Specifically, the Houdini engine can use preset rules to assign asset size, asset orientation, and asset level to each color block based on the scene elements corresponding to each color block. In this way, asset model files can be searched based on the scene elements, asset size, asset orientation, and asset level corresponding to each color block. When the search is successful, for example, if the asset model "1*1 rock.prefab" is obtained, the reference asset path of the color block indicating the color can be returned.

[0069] In some possible implementations, the Houdini engine can read assets from the asset library corresponding to the virtual game and classify the asset models so that the asset models can be retrieved based on the asset level in the future.

[0070] In step S207, the asset model corresponding to each color block is determined; the asset model is used to respond to the courtyard generation instruction, and the asset attribute information is used to instantiate the asset model to generate a virtual courtyard scene.

[0071] In this embodiment of the application, once the scene element, asset size, asset orientation, asset level and referenced asset path corresponding to each color block are determined, an attribute information asset model record table can be generated. The attribute information asset model record table includes the asset attribute information and asset model corresponding to each color block.

[0072] In this embodiment of the application, after determining the asset model corresponding to each color block, the color block carrying asset attribute information is imported into the rendering engine through the point cache, which is used to instantiate the three-dimensional model based on the corresponding position of the asset attribute information in the virtual map to form a virtual courtyard scene.

[0073] Specifically, once the asset model corresponding to each color block is determined, the color block carrying the asset attribute information is imported into the rendering engine through a point cache. Responding to user input parameters, the type of courtyard to be generated can be determined, and then courtyard generation can be performed in the virtual game based on the determined courtyard type. For example, courtyard generation in the virtual game includes the generation of walls and gates, buildings (thatched huts, etc.), rocks, lampposts, miscellaneous props, trees, and roads.

[0074] In summary, the embodiments of this application can achieve the following effects: 1. Enhance the accuracy and artistic control of expression. This invention uses color ID templates as "design blueprints" to directly translate the artistic intentions of artists into generation rules. This method can accurately express the unique cultural semantics and aesthetic principles of traditional Chinese courtyards, such as layout concepts like axial symmetry and the interplay of solid and void, thus ensuring that the generated results far surpass general generation algorithms based on probability combinations in terms of cultural accuracy. The intuitiveness of color templates allows designers to precisely control the layout of the courtyard and the position and relationship of key components at the pixel level, fundamentally avoiding the problems of excessive randomness and discrepancies between results and expectations commonly found in traditional procedural generation methods, and achieving precise implementation of art direction.

[0075] 2. Achieve high efficiency and determinism in the generation process. Compared to algorithms like wave function collapse that require iterative calculations and backtracking, the technical approach of this invention is more efficient and direct. It replaces complex probabilistic calculations with direct matching of color recognition and asset attributes, achieving rapid and deterministic instantiation. This non-iterative characteristic ensures that the generation speed does not increase exponentially with the scale of the scene, thus efficiently handling the generation needs of large-scale traditional Chinese courtyard scenes and significantly improving the overall work efficiency from design to the final 3D scene. 3. Enhance the flexibility and compatibility of technical solutions. The attribute assignment mechanism of this invention provides great flexibility for handling non-standardized traditional Chinese style components. The system can individually adjust the size, orientation, grade, and other attributes of each generated component, thus well adapting to the organic combination needs of heterogeneous components with different forms, such as pavilions, terraces, towers, pavilions, rockeries, and vegetation. This method reduces the dependence on the standardization of components, supports more flexible and varied combination methods, and makes the generated courtyard layout both conform to certain rules and have natural and vivid diversity, avoiding the mechanical and rigid feeling brought by traditional modular assembly.

[0076] 4. Promote technology integration and production process optimization This invention constructs a cross-platform automated workflow, fully leveraging the powerful geometric node processing capabilities of the Houdini engine for preliminary data processing and rule execution, and then efficiently importing the results into the Unity engine for instantiation through point caching technology. This deep integration leverages the advantages of different professional tools, forming an end-to-end solution from initial design to final presentation, improving the synergy and productivity of the toolchain. This solution is easily integrated with existing 3D content production workflows, can be customized and extended according to different project needs, and has good application adaptability. In summary, the traditional Chinese courtyard generation tool provided by this invention, by combining intuitive color ID templates with powerful procedural generation technology, brings significant benefits in terms of cultural expression accuracy, generation efficiency, artistic controllability, technical flexibility, and workflow integration, providing an innovative solution for creating high-quality, high-efficiency 3D scenes that conform to specific cultural connotations and aesthetic requirements.
