Game Model Costume Replacement via Segmented Data Extraction
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current game technologies face limitations in flexible costume replacement for role models due to large data files and high resource consumption, making it difficult to update costumes locally without downloading entire model sets, which restricts user flexibility and convenience.
Innovation Solution
A costume replacement method that involves obtaining and updating image set object data for specific parts of a model, using user input to replace costumes by updating image data for target parts, and rendering the model with the new data, allowing for direct memory updates and reduced network resource consumption.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If local costume replacement is implemented by downloading whole model files, then costume replacement functionality is achieved, but data flow becomes large and resource consumption increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the costume data from the complete model files. Instead of downloading and processing entire model files (png, atlas, json), the system extracts and transmits only the necessary costume replacement data (such as texture coordinates, material properties, and specific costume parameters). This segmentation allows local costume replacement with minimal data transmission, resolving the contradiction between replacement flexibility and data flow volume.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent extracts the essential costume replacement information from complete model files. By identifying and extracting only the critical data elements needed for costume replacement (texture mappings, material definitions, costume-specific parameters), the system eliminates the need to transmit entire model files. This extraction approach enables flexible local costume replacement while maintaining minimal data flow.
2Adaptability or versatility
If local costume replacement is implemented by downloading whole model files, then costume replacement functionality is achieved, but costume replacement cost becomes high
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments costume data from complete model files, transmitting only necessary replacement parameters rather than entire model asset packs. This reduces network bandwidth consumption, storage requirements, and processing overhead, thereby lowering resource consumption while preserving costume replacement flexibility.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent applies partial action by downloading and processing only the specific costume data needed for replacement, rather than the excessive action of downloading complete model files. This partial data transmission and processing approach significantly reduces resource consumption while achieving the desired costume replacement functionality.
3Reliability
If complete model files are downloaded for costume replacement, then costume update is achieved, but download time and processing time increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts only the essential costume replacement parameters from complete model files, such as texture coordinates, material properties, and costume-specific data. By transmitting and processing only these extracted elements rather than complete model files, the system achieves reliable costume updates with minimal download and processing time.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements partial action by downloading only the necessary costume data portions required for replacement,而非完整的模型文件。这种部分数据传输方式在保证 costume update 完整性的同时，显著减少了下载时间和处理时间，解决了可靠性与时间损失之间的矛盾。

AI summary
A costume replacement method includes, based on a user input, obtaining information of a model including a plurality of parts, the plurality of parts including a target part of which a costume is to be replaced, obtaining image set object data corresponding to the model of which the information is obtained, the image set object data including a plurality of pieces of image data respectively corresponding to the plurality of parts, and obtaining costume replacement data corresponding to the target part included in the model of which the information is obtained. The method further includes updating the obtained image set object data by updating one of the plurality of pieces of image data corresponding to the target part, based on the obtained costume replacement data, and rendering the model, based on the updated image set object data, to update the costume of the target part included in the model.
