DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0035] To make the purpose, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present disclosure more clear, the technical solutions of the present disclosure will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present disclosure, not all of them. Based on the embodiments of the present disclosure, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without making any creative efforts shall fall within the scope of protection of the present disclosure.

[0036] In related technologies, the visual presentation of player-edited characters is relatively monotonous, making it difficult to meet the needs for personalized and diversified character images. Therefore, embodiments of the present disclosure provide a method for controlling the display of a virtual character, a method for editing a virtual character, an apparatus, and an electronic device, which can be applied to the editing process of various virtual characters, such as player-controlled characters, non-player-controlled characters, and boss characters.

[0037] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, the virtual character display control method and the virtual character editing method can be executed on a local terminal device or a server. When the virtual character display control method and the virtual character editing method are executed on a server, the method can be implemented and executed based on a cloud interaction system, wherein the cloud interaction system includes a server and a client device.

[0038] In an optional embodiment, various cloud applications, such as cloud gaming, can be run under the cloud interaction system. Taking cloud gaming as an example, cloud gaming refers to a gaming method based on cloud computing. In the cloud gaming operation mode, the operating body of the game program and the main body of the game screen presentation are separated. The display control method of the virtual character and the storage and operation of the virtual character editing method are completed on the cloud gaming server. The role of the client device is to receive and send data and present 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, TV, computer, PDA, etc.; however, it is the cloud gaming server in the cloud that performs information processing. When playing the game, the player operates the client device to send operation instructions to the cloud gaming server. The cloud gaming server runs the game according to the operation instructions, 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.

[0039] In an optional embodiment, taking a game as an example, a local terminal device stores a game program and is used to present the game screen. The local terminal device is used to interact with the player through a graphical user interface, that is, conventionally downloading and installing the game program through an electronic device and running it. The local terminal device can provide the graphical user interface to the player in a variety of ways, for example, it can be rendered and displayed on the terminal's display screen, or provided to the player through holographic projection. For example, the local terminal device may include a display screen and a processor, the display screen is used to present the graphical user interface, the graphical user interface includes the game screen, and the processor is used to run the game, generate the graphical user interface, and control the display of the graphical user interface on the display screen.

[0040] In one possible implementation, an embodiment of the present disclosure provides a method for controlling the display of a virtual character, providing a graphical user interface (GUI) via a terminal device, wherein the terminal device may be the aforementioned local terminal device or a client device in the aforementioned cloud interaction system. The GUI may be used to display component objects in this embodiment, or a scene image of a virtual scene in which the component objects reside.

[0041] As shown in FIG1 , the display control method of the virtual character includes the following steps:

[0042] Step S102: Acquire a virtual character; wherein the virtual character includes at least one component mounting position and a pre-edited component object; the component object is mounted on the component mounting position and has pre-edited mounting state parameters; the mounting state parameters are used to control the relative position and / or relative posture between the component object and the component mounting position;

[0043] The virtual character can be a relatively complete character model, such as a human character, an animal character, etc.; the component attachment position can be the head, neck, left arm, right hand, left leg, and other model parts of the character model. In the initial state, the virtual character can also be composed of multiple component objects. The character skeleton is pre-set, and the character skeleton is not necessarily displayed. Then, the component attachment positions are set on the character skeleton, such as the head, neck, left arm, right hand, left leg, and other parts of the character skeleton; component objects are attached to the component attachment positions to form the virtual character. The component object can be an object model of a specific shape, such as a sphere, a cuboid, a cube, etc. The component objects contained in the virtual character in the initial state can be provided by the game system.

[0044] The pre-edited component objects described above can be component objects edited by a player or user in an editing scene. These component objects can be composed of one or more object models. For example, a component object such as a helmet can be composed of multiple object models of various shapes, such as a sphere, a cuboid, or a cube. Another example is a pair of wings, which can be composed of multiple feather-shaped object models. In one approach, a player can edit a game scene and, within that scene, edit the component objects using object models provided by the game system.

[0045] In actual implementation, the player can select the component object from the virtual scene or obtain it from a storage tool such as a backpack or warehouse, and then attach it to the component attachment location. After the virtual character is edited, the component object and the corresponding component attachment location are saved, and the attachment state parameters and other parameters are also saved to obtain the edited virtual character.

[0046] When a virtual character needs to be displayed in a virtual scene, the virtual character is first obtained, that is, the component object of the virtual character and the component mounting position where the component object is mounted are obtained. The aforementioned mounting state parameters can control one of the relative position or relative posture between the component object and the component mounting position, or can simultaneously control the relative position and relative posture between the component object and the component mounting position. In one example, the mounting state parameters may include parameters such as the distance and relative direction between the component object and the corresponding component mounting position, thereby controlling the relative position; in another example, the mounting state parameters may include parameters such as the orientation and rotation angle of the component object relative to the corresponding component mounting position, thereby controlling the relative posture.

[0047] When editing a virtual character, users or players can input attachment state parameters through the parameter input control, or adjust the position and posture of component objects in the editing scene through the sliding control control, and generate attachment state parameters based on the final adjusted position and posture.

[0048] Step S104, controlling the virtual character to be located in the virtual scene, and displaying the component object in the virtual scene based on the component mounting position and mounting state parameters;

[0049] During game play, if the virtual character needs to be displayed, the virtual character is first positioned within the virtual scene. At this point, the virtual character's component attachment locations, component objects, attachment state parameters, and other information are obtained. Then, based on the component attachment locations and attachment state parameters, the component objects are displayed within the virtual scene. It should be noted that the virtual character may include an initial character model, which can be displayed or hidden based on user-set parameters. Similarly, the component objects of the virtual character in its initial state can also be displayed or hidden based on user-set parameters, with only the component objects edited by the user being displayed.

[0050] When a virtual character is in a virtual scene, the first thing to do is to determine the component attachment position. This component attachment position can be represented by the scene space coordinates of the virtual scene or the local space coordinates of the virtual character. If the attachment state parameters include position parameters, the display position of the component object can be determined based on the component attachment position and combined with the position parameters, and the component object can be displayed at this display position. If the attachment state parameters include posture parameters, the display position of the component object can be determined based on the component attachment position, and then the orientation, rotation angle, etc. of the component object can be adjusted at this display position according to the posture parameters to obtain the posture corresponding to the aforementioned posture parameters.

[0051] Step S106 , in response to the virtual character performing the character action, controlling the component object and the component attachment position to maintain an attachment state corresponding to the attachment state parameter.

[0052] In the game system, various role actions of the virtual character can be preset, such as walking, running, jumping, attacking, etc. After the virtual character performs the role action, the scene space coordinates of the virtual character's component mounting position may change in the virtual scene, or the component mounting position relative to the local space coordinates of the virtual character may change.

[0053] When the component mounting position changes, in this embodiment, it is necessary to control the mounting state of the component object and the component mounting position to remain unchanged. In actual implementation, the mounting state parameter is used to control the component object and the component mounting position to maintain the mounting state unchanged. For example, the component mounting position is the head of an avatar, and the mounting state parameter indicates that the component object is located 1 cm above the component mounting position. At this time, when the avatar performs a jump action, the component mounting position moves upward, and the component object also moves upward. During the movement, the component object always remains 1 cm above the component mounting position, that is, the component object and the component mounting position maintain the mounting state corresponding to the mounting state parameter.

[0054] The above-mentioned virtual character display control method obtains a virtual character; wherein the virtual character includes at least one component mounting position and a pre-edited component object; the component object is mounted on the component mounting position and has pre-edited mounting state parameters; the mounting state parameters are used to: control the relative position and / or relative posture between the component object and the component mounting position; control the virtual character to be located in a virtual scene, and display the component object in the virtual scene based on the component mounting position and the mounting state parameters; in response to the virtual character performing a role action, control the component object and the component mounting position to maintain a mounting state corresponding to the mounting state parameters. In this method, a user can pre-edit the component object and mounting state parameters of the virtual character; when the virtual character is located in the virtual scene, the component object is displayed based on the component mounting position and the mounting state parameters; when the virtual object performs a role action, the component object and the component mounting position maintain a mounting state corresponding to the mounting state parameters. By editing the component object and mounting state parameters, the user can enrich and vary the character image of the virtual character, meeting the personalized editing needs of the character.

[0055] In a specific embodiment, the virtual character also includes an initial character model and appearance display parameters of the initial character model; the appearance display parameters are used to: indicate whether the display state of the initial character model is displayed or hidden; and based on the appearance display parameters, control the display state of the initial character model in the virtual scene.

[0056] The initial character model can be provided by the game system, and the user can edit the component objects for the virtual character based on the initial character model. During the editing process, the user can control the display state of the initial character model to be displayed or hidden by operating the control, thereby generating corresponding appearance display parameters. When the appearance display parameters indicate that the display state of the initial character model is displayed, the virtual character will display both the initial character model and the edited component objects in the virtual scene; when the appearance display parameters indicate that the display state of the initial character model is hidden, the virtual character will only display the edited component objects in the virtual scene, without displaying the initial character model.

[0057] The initial character model is the complete model of the virtual character. This model is typically not user-editable. Alternatively, in some games, users can edit the appearance of the character model by changing the skin. The initial character model can also be a default component object attached to a component attachment location. This default component object is typically provided by the game system and can be set to be non-user-editable or editable, for example, by deleting or replacing portions of the default component object.

[0058] When the initial character model includes multiple default component objects, the appearance display parameters for displaying or hiding each default component object can be set separately, so that only some of the default component objects in the initial character model can be displayed.

[0059] The above-mentioned appearance display parameters can be used to control the display or hiding of the character's initial appearance, making the appearance of the virtual character more editable and more varied.

[0060] Figures 2 to 4 are taken as an example, where Figure 2 shows an initial character model 201 of a virtual character, which is a single, complete character model of the virtual character; in Figure 3, the component object 301 is a component object of a rabbit image, which is mounted on the component mounting position of the head of the initial character model 201. In Figure 3, the initial character model 201 of the virtual character and the component object 301 are displayed at the same time. When viewed from the front, the component object is obscured by the character model; Figure 4 is the visual effect of hiding the initial character model and only displaying the component object 301.

[0061] Figures 5 to 7 are another example, where Figure 5 is an initial character model 50 of a virtual character, which is composed of multiple default component objects, including a head component 501, a left arm component 502, a right arm component 503, a torso component 504, a left leg component 505, and a right leg component 506; in Figure 6, component object 601 is a rabbit-shaped component, and component objects 602 and 603 are both carrot-shaped components. Component object 601 is mounted at the mounting position of the virtual character's head component 501, component object 602 is mounted at the mounting position of the virtual character's left arm component 502, and component object 603 is mounted at the mounting position of the virtual character's right arm component 503.

[0062] In FIG6 , the initial character model of the virtual character and the component object are displayed simultaneously, and the component object and the default component object in the initial character model obscure each other; FIG7 shows the visual effect of hiding the initial character model and displaying only the component object.

[0063] There are multiple implementation methods for displaying component objects in a virtual scene based on component mounting positions and mounting state parameters.

[0064] In one embodiment, the above-mentioned attachment state parameters include: relative position parameters between the component object and the component attachment position; taking the component attachment position of the virtual character as the starting point, performing position offset according to the relative scene parameters to obtain the object display position; and displaying the component object at the object display position.

[0065] In actual implementation, the relative position parameter can be a vector. Once the component attachment position is determined, the coordinates of the component attachment position are offset by the vector to obtain the coordinates of the object's display position. As the virtual character performs an action, the component attachment position may change continuously. In this case, the real-time coordinates of the component attachment position can be obtained. These real-time coordinates are offset by the vector to obtain the real-time coordinates of the object's display position, thereby controlling the relative position of the component object and the component attachment position to remain unchanged.

[0066] In another embodiment, the attachment state parameters include: a relative posture parameter between the component object and the component attachment position; determining an object display position of the component object in the virtual scene based on the component attachment position; displaying the component object at the object display position; and adjusting the object display posture of the component object based on the relative posture parameter. When the attachment state parameters also include a relative position parameter, the object display position can be determined based on the relative position parameter; if the attachment state parameters do not include a relative position parameter, the component attachment position can be used as the object display position.

[0067] Specifically, the relative pose parameters may include offset vectors between multiple object positions of the component object and the component mounting location. When the offset vectors between different object positions and the component mounting location change, the orientation and rotation angle of the component object relative to the component mounting location will also change. Alternatively, a default pose between the component object and the component mounting location can be pre-set, such as with a specified model face of the component object facing the component mounting location. Then, the relative resource parameters can be used to set the rotation angles in various dimensions based on the default pose to control the object display pose of the component object.

[0068] In another embodiment, the attachment state parameters include: a scaling parameter for the component object; determining the object display position of the component object in the virtual scene based on the component attachment position; determining the object size of the component object based on the scaling parameter, and displaying the component object at the object display position according to the object size. When the attachment state parameters also include a relative position parameter, the object display position can be determined based on the relative position parameter; if the attachment state parameters do not include a relative position parameter, the component attachment position can be used as the object display position.

[0069] The scaling parameters may include scaling parameters of the component object in each dimensional direction; the default size of the component object in each dimensional direction may be pre-set, and then the default size is calculated with the scaling parameter in the corresponding dimension to obtain the object size in that dimension.

[0070] In the above method, the attachment state parameters can save the relative position parameters, relative posture parameters, scaling parameters, etc. edited by the user, so that the position, posture, size, etc. of the component object have a variety of visual effects, making the character image of the virtual character rich and varied, and meeting the personalized editing needs of the character.

[0071] When the virtual character performs a role action, in response to the virtual character performing the role action, a first scene position of the component mounting position in the virtual scene is obtained; the first scene position is: the scene position where the component mounting position is located when the virtual character performs the role action; based on the first scene position and the mounting state parameter, the component object is controlled to perform displacement and / or posture change, so that the mounting state of the component object and the component mounting position is the same as the mounting state of the component object and the component mounting position before the character action is performed.

[0072] The component attachment position may be constantly changing during the process of the virtual character performing a role action, and after the role action is completed. In actual implementation, when the virtual character begins to perform a role action, the component attachment position can be obtained in real time or at a scheduled time. The component attachment position is the first scene position in the virtual scene, which can be represented by the scene space coordinates of the virtual scene. Based on this, the virtual character usually obtains multiple first scene positions in chronological order during the performance of the role action. For each first scene position, combined with the attachment state parameters, the component object is controlled to move, so that the component object and the component attachment position move at the same time, ensuring that the relative position of the component object and the component attachment position remains unchanged.

[0073] At the same time, after the virtual character performs the role action, the character posture may also change. Based on this, for each first scene position, combined with the attachment state parameters, the component object is controlled to change its posture, such as direction change, rotation angle change, etc., so that the component object and the component attachment position change their posture at the same time, ensuring that the relative posture of the component object and the component attachment position remains unchanged.

[0074] In the example of Figure 8, the avatar performs a greeting action. The avatar raises its right arm, and the component object attached to it also raises its right arm, ensuring that the relative position and posture of the component object and the object to which it is attached remain unchanged. By controlling the avatar's action, the component object can be controlled to perform the same action.

[0075] In the above method, users can make the image of the virtual character rich and varied by editing component objects and attaching state parameters, meeting the personalized editing needs of the character. At the same time, when the virtual character is performing a specified action, the component object also changes its position and posture, making the visual performance of the component object richer.

[0076] Referring to the flowchart of a method for editing a virtual character shown in FIG9 , the virtual character in the aforementioned method for controlling the display of a virtual character is edited by the method for editing a virtual character of this embodiment. The method for editing a virtual character comprises the following steps:

[0077] Step S902, controlling the virtual character to be displayed in the character editing scene; wherein the virtual character includes at least one component attachment position;

[0078] The character editing scene can be a game editing scene or a blank three-dimensional space without a scene model. The editing interface can provide multiple candidate characters. The user selects one candidate character as a virtual character and drags it into the character editing scene to control the display of the virtual character in the character editing scene.

[0079] The component hanging positions of the virtual character can be pre-set by the game system. For example, the specified model parts of the virtual character's character model are used as component hanging positions, such as the head, neck, left arm, right hand, left leg and other model parts of the character model; for another example, the specified bone parts of the virtual character's character skeleton are used as component hanging positions, such as the head, neck, left arm, right hand, left leg and other parts of the character skeleton.

[0080] In other methods, the user can also pre-edit the component hanging position, for example, select a specified model part or a specified bone part of the virtual character as the component hanging position; or, the game system provides multiple alternative hanging positions, and the user selects some of the hanging positions as the component hanging positions of the virtual character.

[0081] Step S904: determining a target mounting position from at least one component mounting position, and determining a target component object corresponding to the target mounting position; and controlling the target component object to be displayed at the target mounting position in the character editing scene;

[0082] The editing interface may provide a selection control for at least one component mounting location of the virtual character, for example, providing a list of component mounting locations, or a control corresponding to each component mounting location. The user may select a target mounting location from the at least one component mounting location. Then, for the target mounting location, the corresponding target component object is obtained. In one method, the target component object may be obtained from a storage tool such as a backpack or warehouse corresponding to the user account, or the target component object may be obtained from a virtual scene or game scene. The target component object may be a single component object or a component group consisting of multiple component objects.

[0083] After the target component object is determined, the target component object is controlled to be displayed at the target mounting position for further editing by the user. In an initial state, the target component object can be displayed at the target mounting position in a default posture.

[0084] Step S906, receiving a component editing instruction for the target component object, updating the attachment state parameters of the target component object based on the component editing instruction, and displaying the target component object under the attachment state parameters; wherein the attachment state parameters are used to: control the relative position and / or relative posture between the target component object and the target attachment position; when the virtual character performs a character action, the target component object and the target attachment position maintain the attachment state corresponding to the attachment state parameters.

[0085] The editing interface can provide an editing control, through which the aforementioned component editing instructions can be received. The editing control can be a parameter input control, which receives relative position parameters, posture parameters, scaling parameters, etc. for the target component object. In the character editing scene, the target component object can adjust its position or posture under the control of the component editing instruction.

[0086] The editing control can also be a joystick control controlled by sliding or clicking; by operating the joystick control, the user can adjust the position, posture, scale, and other attachment states of the target component object in the character editing scene. The aforementioned attachment state parameters are generated based on the final attachment state of the target component object.

[0087] The above-mentioned virtual character editing method controls the display of the virtual character in a character editing scene. The virtual character includes at least one component mounting position. A target mounting position is determined from the at least one component mounting position, and a target component object corresponding to the target mounting position is determined. In the character editing scene, the target component object is controlled to be displayed at the target mounting position. A component editing instruction for the target component object is received, and mounting state parameters of the target component object are updated based on the component editing instruction, and the target component object is displayed under the mounting state parameters. The mounting state parameters are used to control the relative position and / or relative posture between the target component object and the target mounting position. When the virtual character performs a character action, the target component object and the target mounting position maintain the mounting state corresponding to the mounting state parameters. In this method, a user can pre-edit the component objects and mounting state parameters of the virtual character. When the virtual character is in the virtual scene, the component objects are displayed based on the component mounting position and the mounting state parameters. When the virtual object performs a character action, the component objects and the component mounting position maintain the mounting state corresponding to the mounting state parameters. By editing the component objects and mounting state parameters, the user can enrich and vary the character image of the virtual character, meeting the personalized editing needs of the character.

[0088] Before editing a virtual character, you must first determine the virtual character to be edited and display it. Specifically, confirm that the virtual character is selected and obtain the character type of the virtual character. If the character type is the specified type, display the initial character model of the virtual character in the character editing scene. The initial character model is the default component object attached to the component attachment location.

[0089] In one approach, the editing interface can provide a selection control for various virtual character types, such as egg-shaped characters, humanoid characters, and animal-shaped characters. The user selects the character by clicking, dragging, or other operations, and the selected character becomes the aforementioned virtual character. In another approach, the user can access a virtual character's character properties page, where they can set the character's basic attributes, physical attributes, and performance attributes, such as the character's name and whether the character can respawn infinitely. The character properties page also provides an appearance editing control, which, when triggered, selects the virtual character.

[0090] The initial character models of virtual characters of different character types are different. For some types of virtual characters, the virtual character has a relatively complete character model, and the initial character model of the virtual character is the model appearance of the character model. For the aforementioned specified types, the virtual character is composed of default component objects, and the initial character model of the virtual character is the default component objects. For virtual characters of a specified type, subtypes can be further divided according to the virtual character's shape, for example, human, animal, bird, etc., and the default component objects make up the virtual character of the corresponding shape. The combination of default component objects varies for virtual characters of different shapes.

[0091] For the initial character model, the appearance display parameters of the initial character model are set; the appearance display parameters are used to indicate whether the initial character model is displayed or hidden. An edit control for the appearance display parameters of the initial character model can be provided in the editing interface, and the appearance display parameters can be set using this edit control. Furthermore, if the virtual character includes multiple default component objects, the appearance display parameters can be set for each default component object, thereby controlling whether some default component objects are displayed and others are hidden.

[0092] The above-mentioned appearance display parameters can be used to control the display or hiding of the character's initial appearance, making the appearance of the virtual character more editable and more varied.

[0093] The following embodiments provide implementations for determining target component objects.

[0094] Specifically, the control enters a first designated virtual scene, and determines a target component object corresponding to the target attachment position in the first designated virtual scene.

[0095] Figure 10 is a schematic diagram of a character editing interface. Character editing interface 1000 includes a scene display area 1001 and an edit control area 1002. Scene display area 1001 displays a character editing scene 1010, with a virtual character 1011 displayed within the character editing scene 1010. Edit control area 1002 includes information identifiers, such as an avatar identifier and a name identifier for virtual character 1011. Edit control area 1002 also includes a mounting position selection control 10021 for each component mounting position, and a component add control 10022. In response to a touch operation on mounting position selection control 10021, the name of the component object mounted at the component mounting position corresponding to the mounting position selection control 10021 is displayed.

[0096] In one method, the user clicks on the component adding control 10022 to enter the aforementioned first specified virtual scene. It should be noted that the first specified virtual scene can be a virtual scene pre-edited by the user, or it can be a virtual scene specified in the game system. In one example, the virtual character is located in the first virtual scene, and the scene screen of the first virtual scene is displayed in the game interface; the user triggers to enter the character editing scene through the designated function entrance, for example, the user triggers to enter the character editing scene through the control in the character property page of the virtual character, and the character editing interface as shown in Figure 10 is displayed. Afterwards, the component adding control 10022 in the character editing interface is triggered to enter the first virtual scene, so that the user can easily select the component object to be attached from the first virtual scene. At this time, the game interface displays the scene screen of the first virtual scene, as shown in Figure 11.

[0097] In the example of Figure 11, the game interface displays a scene screen of the first designated virtual scene, which includes various component objects, such as a helmet-shaped component object 1101, a sword-shaped component object 1102, etc.; the interface also displays an information prompt control 1103 of "Click to select the target you want to add" to remind the user to select the operation method of the target component object.

[0098] In a specific implementation, in response to a selection operation on a scene element in a first specified virtual scene, the selected scene element is determined as a target component object corresponding to a target attachment position; wherein the target component object includes: a single component, or a component group consisting of multiple components.

[0099] The above-mentioned selection operation can be a click operation acting on the scene element, or it can be a sliding operation after the click. A selection area is generated during the execution of the sliding operation. After the sliding operation is completed, the scene element in the selection area is selected as the target component object; a single component can be a component provided by the game system, such as a table component, a chair component, a gear component, etc.; a single component usually has an overall component model; the single component can also be pre-edited, for example, the component size, color, etc. of the single component have been edited.

[0100] The above-mentioned component group is usually composed of multiple single components, and the multiple components involved in the splicing have a combination binding relationship. After the component group is selected, the combination binding relationship between the multiple components is maintained, for example, the relative position relationship and connection relationship between the multiple components are maintained.

[0101] Referring to FIG11 , after the user selects a target component object from the first designated virtual scene, they exit the first designated virtual scene and return to the editing interface shown in FIG10 . In the editing interface, the selected target component object is displayed in the character editing scene, and the name of the target component object is displayed in the list of component objects on the right. Alternatively, by clicking the “×” in the information prompt control 1103 in FIG11 , the user can exit the first designated virtual scene without selecting a target component object.

[0102] In another operation mode, the interface of Figure 11 also provides a scene exit control 1104; when the user triggers the "×" in the information prompt control 1103, only the information prompt control 1103 is closed, but the scene picture of the first specified virtual scene is still displayed in the interface; when the user triggers the scene exit control 1104, the first specified virtual scene is exited.

[0103] Furthermore, it is determined whether the selected scene element has an object model; if the selected scene element has an object model, the object model corresponding to the selected scene element is determined as the target component object corresponding to the target attachment position.

[0104] For example, some scene elements may only have decorative properties, are two-dimensional images, and do not have object models. In this case, they cannot be mounted as component objects at the component mounting position of the virtual object. If the selected scene element does not have an object model, a prompt message can be displayed in the interface to prompt the user to reselect. If the selected scene element has an object model, it is determined that the scene element is selected, and the first designated virtual scene can be directly exited, and the object model corresponding to the selected scene element can be determined as the target component object corresponding to the target mounting position.

[0105] In addition to obtaining the target component object from the scene, you can also control access to the display interface of the object storage tool and determine the target component object corresponding to the target mounting location from the object storage tool. This object storage tool can be a backpack, warehouse, safe, etc. For example, you can add an 'Add from Warehouse' control to the interface shown in Figure 10. Clicking this control will enter the warehouse and select the target component object. The component objects in the warehouse can be edited by the user and placed in the warehouse.

[0106] In the above method, users can obtain target component objects from virtual scenes or object storage tools. There are various ways to obtain component objects, which allows users to obtain component objects of various types and sources, making the component objects attached to virtual objects more diverse.

[0107] In a specific method, it is determined whether the sum of the number of component objects mounted on the component mounting position of the virtual character and the number of target component objects is less than or equal to a preset number threshold; if it is determined that the sum of the numbers is less than the preset number threshold, in the character editing scene, the target component object is controlled to be displayed at the target mounting position.

[0108] If too many component objects are attached to a virtual character, the number of model faces corresponding to the virtual character will be large, which may cause the virtual character's display to freeze. In order to ensure the display performance of the virtual character in the virtual scene, it is necessary to pre-set a preset number threshold, for example, 10; if the sum of the number of component objects already attached to the component attachment position of the virtual character and the number of target component objects exceeds the preset number threshold, the control of attaching the target component object to the target attachment position fails, and a corresponding prompt message is generated to prompt the user that if they want to successfully attach the target component object to the target attachment position, they need to delete some component objects from the attached component objects.

[0109] In the above manner, by displaying the number of component objects attached to the virtual character, the display performance of the virtual character can be guaranteed, ensuring that the virtual character is displayed smoothly in the virtual scene.

[0110] This embodiment also provides another way to edit a virtual character.

[0111] Specifically, a scene screen of a second designated virtual scene is displayed; in response to a selection operation for the second designated virtual scene, a selection object is determined; if the selection object includes a first character and a first component object, in response to an appearance editing operation for the first character, the first component object is controlled to be displayed at the designated attachment position of the first character.

[0112] In this method, the interface first displays the scene screen of the second designated virtual scene. In the second designated virtual scene, the player can select a virtual character and one or more component objects. The above-mentioned selection operation can be a click operation, a sliding operation, etc.; after the selection operation is completed, the selected object is determined. If the selection object includes the first character and the first component object, and in most cases, the first character is one character, and the first component object can be one or more, then the appearance editing operation can be performed on the first character; the appearance editing operation can be implemented in the editing interface shown in Figure 10, or in the form of a window list for the user to edit the attachment position of each first component object. After the editing is completed, the window list is closed, and in the second designated virtual scene, the control is used to display the first component object at the designated attachment position of the first character.

[0113] In a specific implementation method, an appearance editing control of a first character is displayed; in response to a trigger operation on the appearance editing control, an appearance editing interface of the first character is displayed; wherein the appearance editing interface includes: a first component object, and alternative mounting positions of the first component object; in response to a selection operation of a specified mounting position in the alternative mounting positions, the specified mounting position is determined as the component mounting position of the first component object; in response to an edit confirmation operation, the first character is displayed in a second specified virtual scene; wherein the first component object is displayed at the specified mounting position of the first character.

[0114] After the selected object is determined, an appearance editing control is displayed in the interface. Clicking or double-clicking this appearance editing control displays the appearance editing interface for the first character. In the example of Figure 12 , the interface displays a scene of a second designated virtual scene. The user performs a selection operation, and the selected object is the first character 1201, as shown in Figure 12 , along with a first component object 1202 in the shape of a helmet and a second component object 1203 in the shape of a sword. At this point, the interface displays an appearance editing control 1204 for "Edit Character Appearance."

[0115] After the user triggers the appearance editing control 1204, the window shown in Figure 13 can be displayed; each first component object and the corresponding component mounting position are displayed in the window; the default mounting position of the first component object can be first displayed in the list of component mounting positions, for example, the default mounting position of the helmet is the head; the user can trigger the triangle control 1301 on the right to display other alternative mounting positions, and reselect the component mounting position for the first component object in the shape of a helmet. The selected component mounting position is the specified mounting position mentioned above.

[0116] After the component mounting position is selected, the editing confirmation operation can be performed by clicking the confirmation control 1302, and then the window can be exited; the scene picture of the second specified virtual scene is displayed again in the interface; by clicking the cancel control 1303, the editing of the virtual character can be stopped, and the scene picture of the second specified virtual scene is displayed again in the interface.

[0117] In the above method, by simultaneously selecting objects and component objects from the scene and quickly editing the attachment positions of the component objects through the window, the virtual character can be quickly edited, thereby improving the editing efficiency of the virtual character.

[0118] This embodiment also provides another method for editing the attachment status parameters.

[0119] A parameter input control is provided in the interface where the role editing scene is located; in response to the parameter input operation on the parameter input control, the attachment state parameter is received through the parameter input control, and the target component object under the attachment state parameter is displayed.

[0120] The parameter input control may include input controls for position parameters, selection parameters, scaling parameters, and other parameters. Each parameter may be further divided into multiple sub-parameters, and a corresponding input control may be set for each sub-parameter. For example, for position parameters, including position parameters of the X dimension, Y dimension, and Z dimension, an input control may be set for each position parameter to input the position parameter of the corresponding dimension.

[0121] After the user inputs the attachment state parameters through the parameter input control, the attachment state of the target component object is updated in the character editing scene so that the attachment state corresponds to the attachment state parameters.

[0122] Furthermore, the interface where the character editing scene is located includes at least one component mounting position of the virtual object and at least one component object corresponding to the component mounting position; the component object is preset with a parameter input control.

[0123] In the example of Figure 14, the editing interface includes a character display area 1401 and a parameter editing area 1402; a virtual object 14011 is shown in the character display area 1401; in the parameter editing area 1402, two component mounting positions of the head and the left hand are illustrated. For the component mounting positions, by triggering the selection component control 1403, you can enter the specified virtual scene or object storage tool to obtain the component object; as shown in Figure 14, the component mounting position of the head is mounted with component objects in the shapes of a helmet and a feather; the component mounting position of the left hand is mounted with a component object in the shape of a sword.

[0124] For each component object, by reselecting control 1404, you can re-enter the specified virtual scene or object storage tool to obtain the component object to replace the current component object; by deleting control 1405, you can delete the component object. For each component object, parameter input controls for three types of parameters are set: position parameters, rotation parameters, and scale parameters. For each parameter, parameter input boxes 1406 are also set for the three dimensions of X, Y, and Z. Through these parameter input boxes, you can enter the parameters corresponding to each dimension.

[0125] In the above method, by inputting parameters, the attachment status of the component object can be edited more accurately, which better meets the user's editing needs.

[0126] This embodiment also provides another method for editing the attachment status parameters, which is more suitable for the client of mobile terminal devices such as mobile phones and tablets.

[0127] Specifically, a position list of at least one component attachment position of a virtual character is provided in the interface where the character editing scene is located; in response to a position selection operation, a target attachment position is selected from the position list, and a component object attached to the target attachment position is displayed; in response to an object selection operation, a target component object is selected, and in the character editing scene, the target component object is set to a selected state, and a parameter setting control of the target component object is displayed; wherein the parameter setting control is used to set attachment state parameters of the target component object.

[0128] Continuing to refer to Figure 10, the attachment position selection control 10021 provides three component attachment positions of the virtual character. The above position selection operation can be implemented by clicking. For example, click on component attachment position 2, then component attachment position 2 is the selected target attachment position; at this time, the component objects attached to component attachment position 2 are displayed in the interface, namely component object 1 and component object 2.

[0129] By clicking the name of a component object, you can perform an object selection operation. For example, if you select component object 1, which is in the shape of a sword, in the character editing scene, the sword-shaped component object 1 is selected, and the three-dimensional coordinate axes centered on component object 1 are displayed. Then, you can select the parameter setting control corresponding to component object 1, such as the move control 1012, scale control 1013, and rotate control 1014 in Figure 10.

[0130] Furthermore, in response to the object replacement operation for the second component object, the second component object is deleted, and the object attachment position of the second component object and the attachment status parameters of the second component object are recorded; control is performed to enter the third specified virtual scene, and a replacement component object is selected from the third specified virtual scene; according to the attachment status parameters of the second component object, the replacement component object is displayed at the object attachment position of the second component object.

[0131] The above-mentioned object replacement operation can be implemented through the replacement control of the second component object. For example, in Figure 10, after clicking the five-pointed star-shaped control, the replacement control is displayed. Clicking the replacement control will display the scene screen of the third specified virtual scene in the interface, and select the replacement component object in accordance with the method in the aforementioned embodiment. It should be noted that after selecting the replacement component object, the second component object is deleted, but the attachment state parameters set for the second component object are retained. After selecting the replacement component object, the attachment state parameters of the second component object are used to control the attachment state of the replacement component object and display it at the object attachment position of the second component object.

[0132] In another implementation, the attachment state parameters include: relative position parameters between the target component object and the target attachment position; parameter setting controls for the relative position parameters are provided in the interface where the character editing scene is located; in response to a trigger operation of the parameter setting controls for the relative position parameters, movement control controls in multiple dimensional directions are displayed on the target component object; in response to a sliding operation on the first movement control in the movement control controls, the target component object is controlled to move along the dimensional direction corresponding to the first movement control; in response to the end of the sliding operation, the relative position parameters of the target component object are generated based on the relative position of the target component object and the target attachment position at the end of the sliding operation.

[0133] After selecting the target component object, three-dimensional axes, namely, movement control controls, are usually displayed in the character editing scene; at the same time, parameter setting controls are displayed, such as the movement control 1012 in Figure 10, which is the parameter setting control for the aforementioned relative position parameter.

[0134] In one example, the aforementioned sliding operation is a sliding operation acting on the X-dimensional axis, then the target component object moves along the direction indicated by the X-dimensional axis, and the relative position of the target component object and the target attachment position in the X-dimension changes. When the sliding operation ends, the relative position of the target component object and the target attachment position can be saved as the relative position parameter of the target component object.

[0135] In other implementation methods, when the parameter setting control of the relative position parameter is triggered, multiple alternative dimensional directions can be displayed, and the target dimensional direction can be selected from the multiple dimensional directions; then, a sliding operation starting from the target component object is performed to control the target component object to move along the target dimensional direction. When the sliding operation is completed, the relative position of the target component object and the target hanging position can be saved as the relative position parameter of the target component object.

[0136] Furthermore, the above-mentioned virtual object is preset with a local spatial range; the local spatial range surrounds the virtual object; in response to the end of the sliding operation, it is determined that when the sliding operation ends, the target component object is outside the local spatial range, and the target component object is controlled to be displayed at a preset position within the local spatial range; a prompt message indicating that the position setting failed is displayed.

[0137] The local spatial range can be a cube or sphere that surrounds the virtual object. The virtual object is located at the center or bottom center of the local spatial range. When the sliding operation ends, the relative position relationship between the target component object and the local spatial range is detected. If the target component object is completely or partially outside the local spatial range, the target component object is controlled to return to the position before the sliding operation was performed, and then a prompt message indicating that the position setting failed is displayed. At the same time, a prompt box indicating the local spatial range can be displayed around the virtual object to facilitate the user to perform the sliding operation again to move the target component object within the local spatial range.

[0138] In another implementation, the above-mentioned attachment state parameters include: relative posture parameters between the target component object and the target attachment position; providing parameter setting controls for the relative posture parameters in the interface where the character editing scene is located; in response to the triggering operation of the parameter setting controls for the relative posture parameters, displaying rotation controls for multiple dimensional directions on the target component object; in response to the sliding operation of the first rotation control in the rotation controls for multiple dimensional directions, controlling the target component object to rotate in the dimensional direction corresponding to the first rotation control according to the sliding path of the sliding operation; displaying the rotated target component object, and generating relative posture parameters based on the posture of the rotated target component object.

[0139] When the target component object is selected, the parameter setting control of the relative posture parameter is displayed, such as the rotation control 1014 in Figure 10; the rotation controls in multiple dimensions may include rotation controls in the X-dimensional, Y-dimensional, and Z-dimensional directions; if a sliding operation is performed on the X-dimensional rotation control, the target component object is rotated in the X-dimensional direction, and the posture of the target component object after rotation is displayed, and then the relative posture parameters are generated.

[0140] In another way, by triggering the parameter setting control of the relative posture parameter, multiple alternative dimensional directions can be displayed, and the user can select the dimension to be rotated, for example, the X dimension; in this case, when the user performs a sliding operation, the target component object is rotated only along the X dimension.

[0141] Furthermore, the above-mentioned attachment state parameters include: scaling parameters of the target component object; providing parameter setting controls for scaling parameters in the interface where the character editing scene is located; in response to the triggering operation of the parameter setting controls for scaling parameters, determining the scaling method, and displaying scaling control controls in multiple dimensional directions on the target component object; wherein the scaling method includes a specified spatial dimension; in response to a sliding control operation, controlling the target component object to scale along the specified spatial dimension; in response to the end of the sliding control operation, generating the scaling parameters of the target component object based on the object size of the target component object when the sliding control operation ends.

[0142] When the target component object is selected, the parameter setting control of the zoom parameter is displayed, such as the zoom control 1013 in Figure 10; the above-mentioned zoom control controls in multiple dimensional directions may include zoom controls in the X dimension, Y dimension and Z dimension directions; and may also include zoom controls in a combination of multiple dimensional directions, for example, zoom controls in the XY dimension, XZ dimension and YZ dimension.

[0143] The user performs a trigger operation such as clicking or long pressing on the parameter setting control of the zoom parameter. For example, a click operation on the zoom control 1013 may display a list or control of multiple zoom modes, where the zoom mode indicates a specific spatial dimension to be zoomed, such as X dimension, Y dimension, Z dimension, XY dimension, XZ dimension, YZ dimension, or free dimension zoom. The zoom control control for multiple dimensional directions may be the dimensional axes of the three directions of X dimension, Y dimension, and Z dimension in FIG10 .

[0144] If the determined scaling method is X-dimension, then during the user's slide control operation, the target component object is scaled only along the X-dimension direction, the object size of the target component object along the X-dimension direction changes, and the object size in other dimensional directions remains unchanged. If the determined scaling method is XY-dimension, then during the user's slide control operation, the plane composed of the XY dimensions of the target component object is scaled, the object size of the plane composed of the XY dimensions of the target component object changes, and the object size in the Z-dimension direction remains unchanged. If the determined scaling method is free dimensional scaling, then during the user's slide control operation, the user can decompose the operation path of the slide control operation into three dimensional directions: X-dimension, Y-dimension, and Z-dimension, and obtain the path components corresponding to each dimensional direction. For dimensional directions where the path components are not zero, the target component object is controlled to scale in that dimensional direction, and the object size changes.

[0145] In the above method, the user can set the attachment state parameters of the target component object through the parameter setting control, so that the target component object has rich and diverse visual effects, meeting the user's personalized role editing needs.

[0146] Furthermore, in the character editing scene, in response to a trigger operation for a specified character action, the virtual object is controlled to perform the specified character action, and the target component object is controlled to move according to the attached state parameters to follow the specified character action. The specified character action can include a hand-shaking dance, a roll, a jump, and other actions.

[0147] For example, in the editing interface of FIG10 , after the action control 1015 displaying the "hand-swinging dance" is triggered, a list of alternative character actions may be displayed, from which the user may select a character action. The selected character action is the aforementioned designated character action. By clicking on the list position or control for the designated character action, the aforementioned triggering operation for the designated character action may be executed, and the virtual object in the character editing scene may execute the designated character action. Since the virtual object is attached to a target component object, based on the edited attachment state parameters, the target component object is controlled to move in accordance with the designated character action; for example, through the relative position parameters, the target component object is controlled to maintain the relative position indicated by the relative position parameters with the corresponding target attachment position.

[0148] Through the above method, when editing the attachment state parameters, the user can view the display state of the component object during the character's specified action, which makes it convenient for the user to adjust the attachment state parameters of the component object in real time and improves the efficiency of the user in editing the role.

[0149] Corresponding to the above method embodiment, referring to FIG15 , a schematic diagram of a display control device for a virtual character is shown. The device includes:

[0150] The character acquisition module 150 is configured to acquire a virtual character; wherein the virtual character includes at least one component mounting position and a pre-edited component object; the component object is mounted on the component mounting position and has pre-edited mounting state parameters; the mounting state parameters are used to control the relative position and / or relative posture between the component object and the component mounting position;

[0151] The first object display module 152 is configured to control the virtual character to be located in the virtual scene and display the component object in the virtual scene based on the component attachment position and attachment state parameters;
