The following is a detailed description of specific embodiments.

In the present embodiment, description will be made from the viewpoint of a control apparatus of a virtual object, which may be specifically integrated in an electronic device such as a terminal or a server.

Referring to fig. 2, fig. 2 is a flowchart illustrating a control method for a virtual object according to an embodiment of the present invention. The specific process of the method can be as follows:

step 101, obtaining action data of a preset part of a user.

In this embodiment, the motion data of the user preset part may be collected by setting a motion capture device and/or a face capture device at the user, and after the motion data of the user preset part is collected, the motion data is transmitted to the electronic device by the motion capture device and/or the face capture device, so that the electronic device obtains the motion data of the user preset part. The user preset part refers to a key part of the user, and may include one or more parts, generally excluding all parts of the user, for example, the user preset part may be a head of the user, a face of the user (including at least one of five sense organs), and the like. The motion data refers to motion parameters corresponding to real-time motion of a preset part of the user, such as a deflection angle of the head of the user, opening and closing degrees of eyes of the user and the like.

For example, the motion capture device may be disposed on the head of the user, that is, the user preset portion is the head of the user, and the motion capture device acquires the deflection angle of the head of the user and transmits the deflection angle to the electronic device. The face capture device can be arranged on the face of the user, namely the preset part of the user is one of five sense organs (such as eyes) of the user, and the face capture device collects the opening and closing degree of the eyes of the user and transmits the opening and closing degree to the electronic device.

And step 102, controlling the first virtual part of the virtual object to move according to the action data and the first association relation between the user preset part and the first virtual part of the virtual object.

In this embodiment, the virtual object may be a virtual character as a virtual idol or a virtual anchor, and the virtual object may be a virtual character, a virtual animal, or the like. The virtual object may be rendered for display on a display interface of the electronic device or presented by holographic projection.

The association relationship between each part of the user and each virtual part of the virtual object is established in advance, and since only the motion data of the part preset by the user is acquired in step 101, only the first association relationship between the part preset by the user and the first virtual part of the virtual object may be established. The first association relationship refers to a one-to-one correspondence relationship between the user preset part and the first virtual part of the virtual object. The first virtual part may refer to the same part in the virtual object as a user-preset part, the user-preset part may include at least one (one or more) part of the user, the first virtual part may include at least one part of the virtual object, and the at least one part of the user corresponds to the at least one part of the virtual object one to one. For example, the user preset part is the head of the user, and the first virtual part is the head of the virtual object; the user preset part is the face (at least comprising one of the five sense organs, such as eyes) of the user, and the first virtual part is the face (at least comprising one of the five sense organs, such as eyes) of the virtual object.

After the action data of the preset part of the user are obtained, the first virtual part of the virtual object corresponding to the preset part of the user is determined according to the preset first association relation, so that the first virtual part of the virtual object is controlled to move according to the action data, and the virtual object is guaranteed to move along with the user. For example, head deflection of the user, head sync deflection of the virtual object; the user blinks and the virtual object blinks synchronously.

The virtual object is constructed with a virtual model, the virtual model can be a two-dimensional model or a three-dimensional model, and the virtual model can also comprise the two-dimensional model and the three-dimensional model at the same time, namely the virtual object respectively constructs the two-dimensional model and the three-dimensional model, the virtual object constructed by the two-dimensional model is a two-dimensional virtual object, and the virtual object constructed by the three-dimensional model is a three-dimensional virtual object. The two-dimensional model and the three-dimensional model can set control parameters and expression effects according to the same standard, namely the same control parameters are input into the two-dimensional model and the three-dimensional model, and the same expression effects can be achieved. For example, the motion data of the user preset part is respectively input into the two-dimensional model and the three-dimensional model, and the two-dimensional model and the three-dimensional model can be respectively controlled to synchronously move along with the user preset part. The two-dimensional model has the advantages that the image is more quadratic, the three-dimensional model has the advantages that the movement is more exquisite, the synchronization rate with the user is higher, the two-dimensional model and the three-dimensional model in the embodiment adopt the same standard, the advantages of the two models and the three-dimensional model can be enhanced, meanwhile, the data processing amount can be reduced by avoiding adopting different standards to process data.

The three-dimensional model and the two-dimensional model each include a set of base bones, each set of base bones including a first bone corresponding to the first virtual site, the first bone may include one base bone or may include a plurality of base bones. The number of underlying bones in the corresponding first bones may be different for different first virtual sites. The present embodiment implements the movement of the first virtual part by controlling the movement of the first bone.

Specifically, the controlling, according to the motion data and the first association relationship between the user preset part and the first virtual part of the virtual object, the movement of the first virtual part of the virtual object in step 102 includes: determining bone data of a first bone according to the action data and the incidence relation between the preset part and the first bone corresponding to the first virtual part; controlling a first virtual part motion of the virtual object according to the bone data of the first bone.

The association relationship between the user preset part and the first skeleton is preset, namely the corresponding relationship between the user preset part and the first skeleton is set, so that the first association relationship between the user preset part and the first virtual part of the virtual object is established. After the action data of the preset part of the user are obtained, a first skeleton associated with the preset part of the user is determined according to the association relation, and the skeleton data of the first skeleton are determined according to the action data. The conversion relationship between the motion data and the bone data of the first bone can be preset, so that after the motion data is acquired, the bone data of the first bone can be quickly determined according to the conversion relationship. The bone data of the first bone is input into the first bone, the first bone can be moved, and the movement of the first bone can realize the synchronous movement of the first virtual part of the virtual object following the preset part of the user.

The bone data of the first bone includes at least one of: rotating data, scaling data, moving data. The rotation data can be a rotation angle, the first skeleton can perform rotation according to the rotation angle, and the first virtual part can rotate according to the rotation of the first skeleton; the scaling data may be a scaling according to which the first skeleton may perform a scaling action, the first virtual part may be scaled according to the scaling action of the first skeleton; the movement data may be a movement displacement according to which the first bone may perform a movement action and the first virtual part may move according to the movement action of the first bone.

For example, when the head of the user deflects to the left, the angle of the head of the user deflecting to the left is acquired, the first virtual part of the virtual object is determined to be the head of the virtual object, the first bone corresponding to the head of the virtual object is further determined to be the head bone, meanwhile, the bone data of the head bone is determined according to the angle of the head of the user deflecting to the left, so that the bone data are input to the head bone to control the head bone to move, the head of the virtual object deflects to the left, and the deflection angle is the same as the angle of the head of the user deflecting to the left. For another example, the left eye of the user is opened (the left eyelid of the user moves upward), the degree to which the left eye of the user is opened is obtained, the first virtual part of the virtual object is determined as the left eyelid of the virtual object, the first bone corresponding to the left eyelid of the virtual object is determined as the left eyelid bone, and the bone data of the left eyelid bone is determined according to the degree to which the left eye of the user is opened. Referring to fig. 3a and 3b, fig. 3a is a schematic diagram illustrating an effect that a left eye of a three-dimensional virtual object is opened, and fig. 3b is a schematic diagram illustrating an effect that a left eye of a two-dimensional virtual object is opened.

Similarly, the right eye of the user is opened, and the right eyelid of the virtual object is moved upward, so that the right eye of the virtual object is opened synchronously. The eyes of the user look upward (the eyelids of the user move upward with respect to the normal opening of the eyes of the user, and at this time, the degree of opening of the eyes of the user is greater than the degree of opening of the normal opening of the eyes of the user), and the eyelids of the virtual object move upward so that the eyes of the virtual object look upward in synchronization. Referring to fig. 4a and 4b, fig. 4a is a schematic diagram illustrating an effect of the three-dimensional virtual object when the eyes look upward, and fig. 4b is a schematic diagram illustrating an effect of the two-dimensional virtual object when the eyes look upward. The eyes of the user look down (the eyelids of the user move down with respect to the normal opening of the eyes of the user, and at this time, the degree of opening of the eyes of the user is smaller than the degree of opening of the eyes of the user), and the eyelids of the virtual object move down, so that the eyes of the virtual object look down in synchronization. Referring to fig. 5a and 5b, fig. 5a is a schematic diagram illustrating an effect of a three-dimensional virtual object looking down by eyes, and fig. 5b is a schematic diagram illustrating an effect of a two-dimensional virtual object looking down by eyes. The user looks left and right (eyeball left and right movement), and the eyeballs of the virtual objects move left and right, so that the eyes of the virtual objects look left and right synchronously. The eyebrows of the user move up and down, and the eyebrows of the virtual object move up and down synchronously. The user opens the mouth, the mouth shape of the virtual object is enlarged, and the mouth is opened synchronously by the virtual object.

Step 103, controlling the second virtual part of the virtual object to move according to the second association relationship between the first virtual part and the second virtual part of the virtual object.

In this embodiment, the association relationship between each virtual part and another virtual part in the virtual object is established in advance, and since only the motion data of the part preset by the user is acquired in step 101, only the second association relationship between the first virtual part associated with the part preset by the user and another virtual part (i.e., the second virtual part) may be established. The second association relationship refers to a corresponding relationship between a first virtual part and a second virtual part of the virtual object, and a binding relationship between a motion state of the first virtual part and a motion state of the corresponding second virtual part. The motion state of the first virtual location comprises a first motion parameter comprising at least one of: rotation parameters, opening and closing parameters, swing parameters, scaling parameters and the like. For example, if the first virtual part is an eye, the motion state of the first virtual part includes an opening/closing parameter (first motion parameter). The motion state of the second virtual location comprises a second motion parameter comprising at least one of: rotation parameters, opening and closing parameters, swing parameters, scaling parameters and the like. For example, if the second virtual location is an ear, the motion state of the second virtual location includes a rotation parameter (second motion parameter).

The binding relationship between the motion state of the first virtual part and the motion state of the corresponding second virtual part may be a corresponding relationship between the first motion parameter and the second motion parameter. The type of the first motion parameter and the type of the corresponding second motion parameter may be different. For example, the first virtual location is a head, the motion state of the head is rotation, the first motion parameter includes a rotation parameter of the head, the corresponding second virtual location is a tail, the motion state of the tail is swing, and the corresponding second motion parameter includes a swing parameter of the tail.

The variation degree of the first motion parameter may be different from the variation degree of the second motion parameter, that is, the binding relationship between the motion state of the first virtual part and the motion state of the corresponding second virtual part may be a proportional relationship between the variation degree of the first motion parameter and the variation degree of the second motion parameter. The variation degree can be rotation angle, opening and closing size, swing amplitude, zooming size and the like. For example, the first virtual part is an eyeball, the movement state of the eyeball is rotation, the corresponding second virtual part is a trunk, the movement state of the trunk is rolling, the variation degree of the first movement parameter is that the eyeball rotates by a first angle (for example, clockwise rotation is 90 degrees), and the variation degree of the corresponding second movement parameter is that the trunk rolls by a first amplitude (for example, right rolling is 30 degrees); when the degree of change of the first motion parameter is a second degree of eyeball rotation (e.g., 45 degrees of counterclockwise rotation), the corresponding degree of change of the second motion parameter is a second amplitude of torso rolling (e.g., 15 degrees of leftward rolling).

The change frequency of the first motion parameter and the change frequency of the second motion parameter may be different, that is, the binding relationship between the motion state of the first virtual part and the motion state of the corresponding second virtual part may be a corresponding relationship between the change frequency of the first motion parameter and the change frequency of the second motion parameter. The variation frequency may be the number of rotations, the number of opens and closes, the number of swings, the number of zooms, etc. within a preset time (e.g. unit time). For example, the first virtual location is an eye, the motion state of the eye is open (blinking), the corresponding second virtual location is a tail, and the motion state of the tail is swing. When the first motion parameter is the frequency of eye opening (blinking) five times per minute (i.e., five blinks in a minute), the frequency of tail wag is one time per minute (i.e., wag tail once a minute).

The first virtual location may include at least one location(s) of the virtual object, the second virtual location may include at least one location of the virtual object, and each location in the first virtual location corresponds to at least one location in the second virtual location. The different first virtual locations, their associated second virtual locations may be the same or different. Additionally, the second virtual part may be a part where the user does not exist, or a part that is not captured by the motion capture device and/or the face capture device, or a part where the user does not wish to be synchronized. For example, the preset part of the user is the head of the user, the first virtual part is the head of the virtual object, and the second virtual part is the body and limbs of the virtual object; the user preset part is the face (at least one of the five sense organs) of the user, the first virtual part is the face (at least one of the five sense organs) of the virtual object, and the second virtual part is the ear, tail and/or wing and the like of the virtual object. The second virtual location may also be other locations, and is not limited herein.

When the first virtual part of the virtual object moves, the second virtual part associated with the first virtual part is determined according to the preset association relation, so that the second virtual part is controlled to move according to the motion state of the first virtual part, the second virtual part and the first virtual part move simultaneously, and the harmony and flexibility of the motion are ensured. For example, the head of the virtual object deflects, while the torso of the virtual object deflects; the left eye of the virtual object blinks and the left ear of the virtual object jumps.

The three-dimensional model and the two-dimensional model constructed by the virtual object respectively comprise a set of basic skeletons, each set of basic skeletons also respectively comprise a second skeleton corresponding to the second virtual part, and the second skeleton can comprise one basic skeleton or a plurality of basic skeletons. The number of underlying bones in the second bone may be different for different second virtual sites. The present embodiment implements the movement of the second virtual site by controlling the movement of the second bone.

Specifically, the controlling the second virtual part of the virtual object according to the second association relationship between the first virtual part and the second virtual part of the virtual object in step 103 includes: determining bone data of a second bone according to the bone data of the first bone and a preset incidence relation between the first bone corresponding to the first virtual part and the second bone corresponding to the second virtual part; and controlling the second virtual part of the virtual object to move according to the bone data of the second bone.

The association relationship between a first bone corresponding to a first virtual part and a second bone corresponding to a second virtual part, that is, the association relationship between the first bone and the second bone is preset, so that a second association relationship between the first virtual part and the second virtual part of the virtual object is established. After the bone data of the first bone is determined, the action of the first bone is controlled through the bone data of the first bone, a second bone related to the first bone is determined according to the association relation, and the bone data of the second bone is determined according to the bone data of the first bone. Wherein, the conversion relation between the bone data of the first bone and the bone data of the second bone can be preset, so that after the bone data of the first bone is determined, the bone data of the second bone can be rapidly determined according to the conversion relation. The second bone can be moved by inputting the bone data of the second bone into the second bone, and the movement of the second bone can realize the movement of the second virtual part of the virtual object.

The bone data of the second bone includes at least one of: rotating data, scaling data, moving data. The rotation data can be a rotation angle, the second skeleton can perform rotation according to the rotation angle, and the second virtual part can rotate according to the rotation of the second skeleton; the scaling data may be a scaling according to which the second skeleton may perform a scaling action, the second virtual part may be scaled according to the scaling action of the second skeleton; the movement data may be a movement displacement according to which the second bone may perform a movement action, and the second virtual part may move according to the movement action of the second bone.

The bone data of the first bone may be of a different data type than the bone data of the second bone, for example, the bone data of the first bone may be movement data, the bone data of the second bone may be rotation data, the bone data of the first bone may be rotation data, and the bone data of the second bone may be rotation data and movement data.

The rotation data, scaling data and/or movement data of the first bone may control a motion state of the first virtual site, and the rotation data, scaling data and/or movement data of the second bone may control a motion state of the second virtual site. The binding relationship between the motion parameters of the first virtual part and the motion parameters of the second virtual part can be determined by presetting the conversion relationship between the rotation data, the scaling data and/or the movement data of the first skeleton and the rotation data, the scaling data and/or the movement data of the second skeleton, so that when the motion parameters of the first virtual part are changed, the motion parameters of the second virtual part can be driven to be changed, the motion of the first virtual part is realized, and the motion of the second virtual part is driven.

For example, the first virtual part of the virtual object is the head of the virtual object, the first skeleton corresponding to the head of the virtual object is the head skeleton, and the head skeleton is associated with the body skeleton and the limb skeleton, the second virtual part of the virtual object is determined to be the body and the limb (limb) of the virtual object, the head of the virtual object deflects to the left, and the body and the limb of the virtual object are controlled to deflect to the left according to the binding relationship between the head deflection angle of the virtual object and the deflection angle of the body and the limb of the virtual object, but the deflection angle of the body and the limb is smaller than the deflection angle of the head, as shown in fig. 6 a. Similarly, when the head of the virtual object leans backwards, the trunk of the virtual object is controlled to lean backwards slightly according to the binding relationship between the head leaning angle of the virtual object and the trunk leaning angle of the virtual object, as shown in fig. 6 b; when the head of the virtual object tilts forward, controlling the trunk to tilt forward slightly according to the binding relationship between the head forward-tilting angle of the virtual object and the trunk forward-tilting angle of the virtual object, as shown in fig. 6 c; when the head of the virtual object deflects to the upper left, the trunk is controlled to slightly tilt to the upper left according to the binding relationship between the upper left deflection angle of the head of the virtual object and the upper left deflection angle of the trunk of the virtual object, as shown in fig. 6 d.

It should be noted that the motion amplitudes of the body and the limbs are generally smaller than the motion amplitude of the head, and the ratio of the motion amplitude of the head to the motion amplitudes of the body and the limbs may be 3: 1. for example, the range of the amplitude of the side-to-side movement of the head is-30 to 30, -30 refers to the extreme position of the head deflected to the left, 30 refers to the extreme position of the head deflected to the right, and the range of the amplitude of the side-to-side movement of the torso and limbs corresponds to-10 to 10.

For another example, the first virtual region of the virtual object is a binocular eyelid of the virtual object, the first bones corresponding to the binocular eyelid of the virtual object are eyelid bones (including a left eyelid bone and a right eyelid bone), the left eyelid bone is associated with a left ear bone, the right eyelid bone is associated with a right ear bone, and the second virtual region of the virtual object is determined to be both ears of the virtual object. The eyes of the virtual object are normally open and the ears of the virtual object are normally upright, as shown in fig. 7 a; the left eye skin of the virtual subject moves up and down (the left eye blinks) and the left ear of the virtual subject bends downward, as shown in fig. 7 b; the right eyelid of the virtual object moves up and down (right eye blinks) and the right ear of the virtual object bends downward, as shown in fig. 7 c; the eyelids of the virtual object move down (eyes are closed), and the ears of the virtual object bend, as shown in fig. 7 d; the left skin of the virtual subject continues to move upward relative to the normal open eye (the left eye is open to the limit) and the left ear of the virtual subject is upright to the limit, as shown in fig. 7 e; the eyelids of the virtual object continue to move upward (the eyes are open to the limit) relative to the normally open eyes, and the ears of the virtual object stand up to the limit, as shown in fig. 7 f.

It should be noted that each of the left and right ear bones may include a plurality of basic bones, for example, the left ear bone includes a father bone and two son bones, and the left ear skin bone is associated with the three basic bones so as to control the actions of the three basic bones, thereby ensuring that the movement of the left ear is more flexible rather than rigid movement.

In some embodiments, movement of a first virtual location necessarily triggers movement of its associated second virtual location. In other embodiments, the random parameter may be set such that movement of a first virtual location randomly triggers movement of its associated second virtual location, i.e., movement of the first virtual location may or may not sometimes trigger movement of its associated second virtual location.

Specifically, the controlling, according to a preset association relationship between the first virtual part and a second virtual part of the virtual object, a second virtual part of the virtual object to move in step 103 includes: detecting the number of movements of the first virtual part; and when the first virtual part moves for each preset number of times, controlling the second virtual part of the virtual object to move according to the preset incidence relation between the first virtual part and the second virtual part of the virtual object.

When the first virtual part moves frequently, if the associated second virtual part also moves all the time, visual fatigue may be caused, so that the embodiment sets a preset number of times, the movement of the second virtual part may be triggered only when the first virtual part moves for the preset number of times, and if the movement number of the first virtual part does not reach the preset number of times, the movement of the second virtual part may not be triggered.

For example, the first virtual location is a binocular eyelid of the virtual object, which frequently moves up and down (caused by frequent blinking of the user), and the second virtual location is both ears of the virtual object. If the ears of the virtual object move all the time when the eyes blink, the visual fatigue is caused, so the preset times are set to be 3 to 5 times, namely, the ears of the virtual object can bounce once every time the eyes blink 3 to 5 times, and the interest is increased.

All the above technical solutions can be combined arbitrarily to form the optional embodiments of the present application, and are not described herein again.

According to the control method of the virtual object, action data of a preset part of a user are obtained; controlling the first virtual part of the virtual object to move according to the action data and the incidence relation between the user preset part and the first virtual part of the virtual object; and controlling the second virtual part of the virtual object to move according to the incidence relation between the first virtual part and the second virtual part of the virtual object. When the first virtual part of the virtual object moves along with the preset part of the user, the second virtual part is controlled to move simultaneously according to the incidence relation between the first virtual part and the second virtual part in the virtual object, namely, the movement of the plurality of virtual parts of the virtual object can be controlled only by acquiring the action data of the preset part of the user, the harmony and flexibility of the movement of the virtual object are improved, and the expression effect is enriched.

Referring to fig. 8, fig. 8 is another schematic flow chart of a control method for a virtual object according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. The specific process of the method can be as follows:

step 201, constructing a virtual model for a virtual object, wherein the virtual object comprises a first virtual part and a second virtual part, and the virtual model comprises a first bone corresponding to the first virtual part and a second bone corresponding to the second virtual part.

For example, software such as Live2D or 3D, CG is used to create a virtual model of a virtual object, so that the virtual model can be a three-dimensional model or a two-dimensional model, the three-dimensional model creates a virtual object as a three-dimensional virtual object, and the two-dimensional model creates a virtual object as a two-dimensional virtual object.

Step 202, setting an association relationship between a preset part of a user and a first skeleton corresponding to the first virtual part.

The user preset portion and the first virtual portion may be the same portion, for example, the user preset portion is the mouth of the user, and the first virtual portion is the mouth of the virtual object.

Step 203, setting the association relationship between the first skeleton corresponding to the first virtual part and the second skeleton corresponding to the second virtual part.

The first virtual location is a different location than the second virtual location, for example, the first virtual location is a mouth of the virtual object and the second virtual location is a tail of the virtual object.

Step 204, obtaining action data of a part preset by a user.

For example, motion data of the user's mouth, such as the degree of openness of the user's mouth, is acquired.

Step 205, determining bone data of a first bone according to the action data and the incidence relation between the preset part of the user and the first bone corresponding to the first virtual part.

For example, according to the opening degree of the mouth of the user, the bone data of the mouth bone corresponding to the mouth of the virtual object is determined.

Step 206, controlling the movement of the first virtual part of the virtual object according to the bone data of the first bone.

For example, according to the bone data of the mouth bone, the mouth of the virtual object is controlled to move synchronously with the mouth of the user, namely, the mouth of the virtual object is opened to the same extent as the mouth of the user.

And step 207, determining bone data of a second bone according to the bone data of the first bone and the incidence relation between the first bone corresponding to the first virtual part and the second bone corresponding to the second virtual part.

For example, the bone data of the tail bone corresponding to the tail of the virtual object is determined according to the bone data of the mouth bone corresponding to the mouth of the virtual object and the conversion relation between the bone data of the mouth bone and the bone data of the tail bone.

And step 208, controlling the movement of the second virtual part of the virtual object according to the bone data of the second bone.

For example, the tail swing of the virtual object is controlled according to the bone data of the tail bone, so that the mouth and tail movement of the virtual object can be controlled simultaneously by acquiring the motion data of the mouth of the user, and the harmony and flexibility of the movement of the virtual object are improved.

According to the control method of the virtual object, when the first virtual part of the virtual object moves along with the preset part of the user, the second virtual part is controlled to move simultaneously according to the incidence relation between the first virtual part and the second virtual part in the preset virtual object, namely, the movement of a plurality of virtual parts of the virtual object can be controlled only by acquiring the action data of the preset part of the user, the harmony and flexibility of the movement of the virtual object are improved, and the expression effect is enriched.

In order to better implement the method for controlling a virtual object according to the embodiments of the present application, an embodiment of the present application further provides a device for controlling a virtual object.

In this embodiment, the motion data of the user preset part may be collected by setting a motion capture device and/or a face capture device at the user, and after the motion data of the user preset part is collected, the motion data is transmitted to the electronic device by the motion capture device and/or the face capture device, so that the electronic device obtains the motion data of the user preset part. The user preset part refers to a key part of a user, and may include one or more parts, generally excluding all parts of the user, for example, the user preset part may be a head of the user, a face of the user, or the like. The motion data refers to motion parameters corresponding to real-time motion of a preset part of the user, such as a deflection angle of the head of the user, opening and closing degrees of eyes of the user and the like.

The association relationship between each part of the user and each virtual part of the virtual object is established in advance, and since only the motion data of the part preset by the user is acquired in step 101, only the association relationship between the part preset by the user and the first virtual part of the virtual object may be established. The first virtual part refers to a part of the virtual object that is the same as a part preset by a user, and the first virtual part may include one or more parts of the virtual object.

After the action data of the preset part of the user are obtained, the first virtual part of the virtual object associated with the preset part of the user is determined according to the preset association relation, so that the first virtual part of the virtual object is controlled to move according to the action data, and the virtual object is guaranteed to move along with the user.

The association relationship between each virtual part and other virtual parts in the virtual object is established in advance, and since only the motion data of the part preset by the user is acquired in step 101, only the association relationship between the first virtual part associated with the part preset by the user and other virtual parts (i.e., the second virtual part) may be established. Wherein the second virtual location may include one or more locations of the virtual object, and the associated second virtual locations may be the same or different for different first virtual locations.

When the first virtual part of the virtual object moves, the second virtual part associated with the first virtual part is determined according to the preset association relation, so that the second virtual part is controlled to move according to the motion state of the first virtual part, the second virtual part and the first virtual part move simultaneously, and the harmony and flexibility of the motion are ensured.

When the first virtual part of the virtual object moves along with the preset part of the user, the second virtual part is controlled to move simultaneously according to the incidence relation between the first virtual part and the second virtual part in the virtual object, namely, the movement of the plurality of virtual parts of the virtual object can be controlled only by acquiring the action data of the preset part of the user, the harmony and flexibility of the movement of the virtual object are improved, and the expression effect is enriched.
