1 is a view for explaining a video content production system according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 1 , image content production according to an embodiment of the present invention may be performed by the 3D graphic tool 100 , the game engine 200 , and the image content production system 400 . According to an embodiment, the server 300 may be included.

The 3D graphic tool 100 has previously exemplified Maya, but other software (3D Max, Autodesk, Cinema 4D, etc.) for producing 3D image content may be included. In addition, although Unity is exemplified as the game engine 200, other sportswear (Unreal, Vision, Anvil, etc.) that provide a development environment for 3D video games may be included.

In order to render the image content produced by the 3D graphic tool 100 in the game engine 200 , it may be necessary to convert the image content into a file format supported by the game engine 200 in advance. To this end, the 3D graphic tool 100 provides a tool for converting to a file module supported by the game engine 200, such as an FBX conversion module. However, this conversion module has a problem in that it does not correspond to all elements (or assets) used in the 3D graphic tool 100 .

The operator performs the task of converting the data of the 3D graphic tool 100 into the file format of the game engine 200 one by one so that the data of the game engine 200 can be interlocked, and the data type of all elements of the image content is generated and Since the file format has to be implemented, a significant amount of time and effort can be consumed.

In addition, workers who produce image content in the 3D graphic tool 100 may need to separately understand the game engine 200 for rendering in the game engine 200 . Since the operator must learn and adapt to the usage of the game engine 200 , there is inefficiency.

According to an embodiment of the present invention, the operator can easily generate the image content produced by the 3D graphic tool 100 through the image content production system 400 without mastery knowledge of the separate game engine 200 to the game engine 200 . , and the uploaded file may be rendered through a pre-automated program of the sequence generator 420 .

Before examining the operation of the up/downloader 410, an operation of transmitting and receiving data through the server 300 will be described.

Unlike the 3D graphic tool 100 in which a plurality of workers can work simultaneously, in the game engine 200, one worker per project may basically perform the work for reasons of security, data conflict, and the like.

Therefore, by separating the 3D graphic tool 100 and the game engine 200, several workers work simultaneously in the 3D graphic tool 100 and share the work with other workers through the server 300 (Subversion) The software version control system of the company can be efficient. An operation of synchronizing the global of the server end with the local of the user end may be performed through SVN.

However, the existing SVN has a problem in that it is not optimized for video content production because it is software designed for games. In addition, since the price of the existing SVN is determined according to the capacity, there is a problem that an expensive SVN must be used to produce video content exceeding 40 to 50 gigabytes.

The up-downloader 410 may be implemented by optimizing the function of the existing SVN for video content production. The function of the existing web-based SVN can be performed in the local network through the up-downloader 410 . Specifically, if the existing SVN manages data by placing the server on the web, the up-downloader 410 may place the server on the internal network and manage data.

Therefore, data upload and/or download through the up-downloader 410 is not limited by data capacity, and by using an internal network, security can be increased compared to the existing Internet web-based SVN. In addition, since real-time data transmission and reception is possible compared to the web-based method, there is an advantage in that real-time communication between workers is possible.

The up-downloader 410 may download image content stored in the server 300 to the game engine 200 , or may upload image content of the game engine 200 to the server 300 .

The image content data stored in the server 300 through the up-downloader 410 may be stored in a local disk in which the game engine 200 operates. The server 300 and the local disk may operate as storage devices independent of each other. In order to perform a process necessary for rendering and other image content production in the game engine 200 , the up-downloader 410 may perform an operation of loading image content data into a local disk.

The data (asset) downloaded through the up-downloader 410 may then be generated as a list in order to be reconstructed in the file format of the game engine 200 by the sequence generator 420 . The up/downloader 410 may perform version management, history management, and synchronization of data for efficient list configuration.

The up-downloader 410 may display whether data on the server side and data on the local side are the same for the asset selected by the user. If the data of both sides are different, the user can synchronize the data of either side to synchronize and update the new version. In addition, if you want to go back to the previous version, you can select the version you want to return to among the previous versions of the history and roll back.

History records information about workers, version information, time information, etc., so the user can check the history and decide whether to update, synchronize with a new version, or roll back to the previous version.

The sequence generator 420 may reconstruct the image content data downloaded from the server 300 through the up/downloader 410 into a file format suitable for the game engine 200 .

At this time, the sequence generating unit 420 not only converts data to fit the file format of the game engine 200 , but also cuts the image content data as timeline data composed of animation elements such as cuts, tracks, sequences, and episodes. can be converted to

The timeline data may be obtained by extracting motion data of objects from image content data created by the 3D graphic tool 100 . An object stationary in the game engine 200 may acquire motion through timeline data.

The timeline data may include cut timeline data and sequence timeline data. The timeline data may have a file format compatible with the game engine, be objectified as a unit of image work according to a story progression of video content, and be generated based on the objectified unit of the image work. The cut timeline data may have a file format compatible with the game engine, object a cut, which is a unit of image work according to a story progression of video content, and be generated based on the objectified cut. The unit of image work may be a cut day. However, it may include a sequence.

The sequence generator 420 may perform a process necessary for an object to move according to the timeline data in the game engine 200 according to an automated process. For example, the sequence generator 420 performs trap generation from image content data, a list of prefabs, a bake process, conversion to a HumanIK data type, FBX file format generation, data conversion, etc. It can be applied for each element. Independently transformed elements can finally be combined to create timeline data usable in the game engine.

In video content such as animation, one episode may consist of several sequences. According to an embodiment, the sequence may be referred to as a timeline. A sequence may include a plurality of tracks. Tracks may include video tracks, audio tracks, and the like. Again, a track may include a plurality of clips. Editing of a cut, a scene change, etc. may be performed in a clip.

A sequence may be a component of an episode in which the operator arbitrarily divides the entire episode according to the progress of the story, the place of the play, the behavior of the character, and the like. A cut may be a unit of image work according to the progress of the story of the video content. According to an embodiment, the animation operation may be performed in units of sequences as well as cuts.

In the image content production system according to an embodiment of the present invention, the sequence generator 420 converts the image content data of the 3D graphic tool 100 into a file format of the game engine 200 when reconstructing the image content data, and converts the cut into an object. Timeline data can be created based on the cut into objects.

The timeline data may be image content rendered by the sequence generator 420 . Although the timeline data is data linked by the game engine 200, it has a characteristic of being composed of cuts, sequences, and the like, which are elements of animation.

For example, image content data passing through the sequence generator 420 may form a hierarchy or a pipeline based on the cut in the game engine 200 .

Accordingly, since the operator can perform image content work for each cut in the game engine 200 , there is an advantage in that it is easy to modify and supplement individual elements, such as addition and deletion.

The timeline data may include time information of the corresponding image content. Generally, when a user gives a command to a game character, the game engine is implemented in real-time interlocking in which the character in the game operates at that moment. This real-time linkage responds quickly because it has to respond to the user's immediate command, but it may lack detail in screen switching, such as detailed character movements and background changes.

However, since image content requires higher image quality, a method of separately defining time information may be used instead of a real-time interworking method of a game engine. The time information may be included in the timeline data. Timeline data may be displayed on the screen according to time information and elements included in the objectified cut.

According to the image content interworking system and method of the present invention, it is possible to overcome the inefficiency in which workers who produce image content must one by one convert the data to a standard type designated by the game engine. In addition, there is an effect of increasing work efficiency by facilitating correction and supplementation, such as addition, deletion, etc. of individual elements, by implementing the video content based on the cut in the game engine.

2 is a diagram for explaining a folder structure of a 3D graphic tool according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 2 , a folder (05.game engine) configured according to the folder structure of the game engine may be stored in the folder of the 3D graphic tool of the image content.

In FIG. 2 , in the folder structure of the 3D graphic tool, a season (season 01) may be selected from a subject (horror), and any one episode (episode 01) may be selected from the selected season. As shown, in Episode 01, it can be seen that information of video content is divided and stored for each element (01.Pre, 02.Asset, 03.Texture, 04.Shot, 05.Game Engine).

By including the game engine folder structure in the 3D graphic tool folder, it can be easily converted into animation element-based timeline data and managed systematically in the future.

In particular, cut folders (C070, C130, C165) and sequence folders (S001, S002) can be identified in the game engine folder structure. The cut folder may store cuts included in the corresponding image content, and the sequence folder may store sequences included in the corresponding image content. In FIG. 2 , the corresponding image content may include three cuts C070, C130, and C165, and two sequences S001 and S002.

An image generated by a conventional game engine could be classified according to a certain standard (project) like image content generated by a 3D graphic tool. The image generated by such a game engine may be a method of listing elements included in each project according to the passage of time.

The video content production system according to an embodiment of the present invention does not divide the entire project into several projects, but may configure the entire project with large and small animation elements of animation elements such as episodes, sequences, and cuts.

If video content is not divided into cuts, which are work units according to the progress of the story, each worker cannot share the entire project and work independently. In an embodiment of the present invention, by dividing the entire project into animation elements such as episodes, cuts, and sequences, the operator can independently work only the cuts assigned to him, thereby increasing work efficiency.

3 is a diagram for explaining a sequence timeline of image content implemented in a game engine according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 3 , the sequence generator may generate timeline data from image content data. The timeline data may include a sequence timeline and a cut timeline.

The generated sequence timeline may include a plurality of cut timelines C001, C002, C003, C004, and C005. Although only one sequence timeline and five cut timelines are illustrated in the drawing, a smaller or more number of sequence timelines and cut timelines may be included according to an embodiment.

Cuts included in the sequence may be sequentially reproduced over time. In FIG. 3 , the cut timeline 1 C001 may be reproduced from 0 ms to t1 between 300 ms and 450 ms. Cut timeline 2 (C002) may be reproduced from t1 to t2 between 750 ms and 900 ms. Cut timeline 3 (C003) may be reproduced from t2 to t3 between 1050 ms and 1200 ms. Cut timeline 4 (C004) can be played from t3 to 1800 ms. Cut timeline 5 (C005) can be played from t4 to 2100 ms.

4 is a diagram for explaining a cut timeline of image content implemented in a game engine according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 4 , the sequence generator may generate timeline data from image content data. As described above, the timeline data may include a sequence timeline and a cut timeline.

The generated sequence timeline may include a plurality of cut timelines C001, C002, C003, C004, and C005. 4 shows the configuration of cut timeline 2 (C002) among these cut timelines.

The cut timeline2 may include individual timelines of a plurality of individual elements. Cut 2 may include character A, character B, character C, character D, and Light. Correspondingly, the cut timeline 2 may include individual timelines of each element, C002_CH_A, C002_CH_B, C002_CH_C, C002_CH_D, and Active.

Individual timelines may be played sequentially over time. Although all elements are shown to be reproduced from 0 ms to 270 ms in FIG. 4 , the reproduction time may be different according to an embodiment.

Video content production through a conventional game engine does not consist of animation elements, but has a form in which individual elements are simply listed. Since the entire project is not divided into cuts, it was difficult for the operator who performed the work by cut in the 3D graphic tool to add, delete, or change individual elements.

3 and 4 , the game engine may manage video content in units of sequences and cuts through a sequence timeline. Workers can modify and edit video content in units of cuts through the sequence timeline provided by the video content production system without any separate operation.

In addition, in the game engine, a single entire project cannot be shared by a plurality of workers to work simultaneously, but in the embodiment of the present invention, the image content is defined as a sequence and cut as individual objects, and based on the sequence and cut By composing the entire timeline, multiple workers can independently work on assigned cuts.

5 is a flowchart for explaining an operation of an up/downloader according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 5 , in step S510, the up-downloader may receive asset type selection information from the user.

Assets may be materials necessary for development, such as various resources, scripts, and AI in the game engine. Assets can be classified into BG, CH, Prop, BGProp, LightSet, Animation, Sequence, etc. according to their type.

Users can first select an asset type to upload an asset from the game engine to the server or download it from the server to the game engine.

The up/downloader may receive asset type selection information, which is information about the asset type selected from the user. The up-downloader may provide assets included in the selected asset type to the user.

In step S520, the up-downloader may output whether the same asset is included in the local and the server. The assets included in the selected asset type may be output separately from the assets included in the local and server, and further, the assets may be displayed in different areas depending on whether the assets of both sides are the same or different.

In step S530, the up-downloader may output the previous version of the selected asset through the history. Each version may include information about the operator, version information, time information, and the like. Users can check the results of their work before the current version through the history.

In step S540, the up-downloader may request the user whether to download the asset from the server to the local or from the local to the server.

If a user wants to save one or more assets of one side to the other side, he or she can make a request through the up-downloader. The user may decide whether to upload or download one selected asset or upload or download a plurality of assets all at once.

In step S550, the up-downloader may upload an asset from the local to the server in response to the user's request, or may download the asset from the server locally. The locally downloaded asset may then be used as source data to be generated as timeline data by the sequence generator.

The image content data stored in the server through the up-downloader may be stored in the local disk where the game engine operates. The server and local disk can operate as independent storage devices. In order to perform a process necessary for rendering and other image content production in the game engine, the up-downloader may perform an operation of loading image content data to a local disk.

In step S560 , the up-downloader may request whether to roll back to the previous version for the selected asset from the user.

If the user wants to go back or check the previous version while working, he can check the contents of the previous version through the history and send the rollback status to the up-downloader.

If the user selects rollback, in step S570, the up-downloader may roll back the local asset to the previous version selected by the user.

The up-downloader according to an embodiment of the present invention may be implemented by optimizing the function of the existing SVN for video content production. The function of the existing web-based SVN can be performed on the local network through the up-downloader. Specifically, if the existing SVN managed data by placing the server on the web, the up/downloader can manage the data by placing the server on the internal network.

Therefore, data upload and/or download through the up-downloader is not limited by data capacity, and by using an internal network, security can be increased compared to the existing Internet web-based SVN. In addition, since real-time data transmission and reception is possible compared to the web-based method, there is an advantage in that real-time communication between workers is possible.

6 is a diagram for explaining an operation of a sequence generator according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 6 , the sequence generator includes a sequence creation step (Make sequence), an open sequence step (Open sequence), a sub-scene adding step (Add Sub-scene), an asset download step (Download assets), a cut timeline generation step ( Make Cut-timeline), sequence timeline creation phase (Make Sequence-timeline), and episode timeline creation phase (Make Episode-timeline) can be performed.

Each step is performed according to the user's selection, and not all steps may be performed. According to an embodiment, some steps may be omitted, and some steps may be automatically performed according to the determination of the sequence generator without a user's selection.

In the sequence generating step ( S610 ), the sequence generating unit may create a sequence and at the same time call a sequence scene in the hierarchical key of the game engine. In the open sequence step ( S620 ), the sequence generator may check the asset state while calling a pre-made sequence and set it again. Various techniques may be used for setting the asset, and it may be an operation of setting the asset in an arrangement optimized for generating timeline data.

In the sub-scene adding step ( S630 ), the sequence generator may add a lighting-processed background scene as a sub-scene of the sequence scene to be included in the sequence. Various elements can be added to the imported sequence by adding sub-scenes.

In the asset download step S640 , the sequence generator may update one or more assets when there is no asset in the selected cut or an asset of a previous version. The update may be updated one asset at a time, or all assets may be updated at once according to the user's selection.

In the timeline generation step ( S650 ), the image content information received from the 3D graphic tool may be reconstructed into a timeline in units of cuts and sequences that are elements of animation. The timeline generation step ( S650 ) may include a cut timeline generation step ( S651 ) and a sequence timeline generation step ( S652 ).

In the cut timeline generation step S651 , the sequence generator may determine whether assets such as CH, Prop, BGProp, and Camera corresponding to the selected cut exist, and whether it is possible to create a cut such as an FBS file format. The sequence generator may generate cut timeline data or update existing cut timeline data based on the determined result.

In the sequence timeline generation step ( S652 ), the sequence generator may generate a sequence timeline using the cut timelines generated by cuts of the sequence called into the hierarchical key. The sequence timeline may be created by sequentially constructing the cut timelines according to the playback order when the cut timelines are created.

The cut timeline and sequence timeline generated in the step of generating the cut timeline ( S651 ) and the step of generating the sequence timeline ( S652 ) may then be generated as an episode timeline in the step of generating the episode timeline ( S660 ). The episode timeline may be a final result of rendered image content.

According to the game engine-based video content production system according to an embodiment of the present invention, the video content rendered in the game engine may be composed of components of cut, sequence, and episode animation like in a 3D graphic tool.

The embodiments of the present invention published in the present specification and drawings are merely provided for specific examples to easily explain the technical contents of the present invention and help the understanding of the present invention, and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention. It will be apparent to those of ordinary skill in the art to which the present invention pertains that other modifications based on the technical spirit of the present invention may be implemented in addition to the embodiments disclosed herein.
