The following describes in detail specific embodiments.

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

Referring to fig. 2, fig. 2 is a flowchart illustrating a method for controlling a virtual object according to an embodiment of the invention. The specific flow 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 preset portion of the user may be collected by setting the motion capture device and/or the face capture device at the user, and after the motion capture device and/or the face capture device collect the motion data of the preset portion of the user, the motion data is transmitted to the electronic device, so that the electronic device obtains the motion data of the preset portion of the user. The user preset parts refer to key parts of the user, may include one or more parts, and generally do not include all parts of the user, for example, the user preset parts may be the head of the user, the face of the user (at least including 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 a user, such as deflection angle of the head of the user, opening and closing degree of eyes of the user, and the like.

For example, the motion capture device may be disposed on the head of the user, i.e., the user's preset area is the user's head, and the motion capture device captures the angle of deflection of the user's head and transmits it to the electronic device. The face capturing device may be disposed on a face of the user, that is, the preset portion of the user is one of the five sense organs (such as eyes) of the user, and the face capturing device collects the opening and closing degree of the eyes of the user and transmits the opening and closing degree to the electronic device.

Step 102, controlling the movement of the first virtual part of the virtual object 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 that is a virtual idol, 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 action data of the preset part of the user is acquired in step 101, only the first association relationship between the preset part of 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 between a preset part of the user and a first virtual part of the virtual object. The first virtual part may refer to a part of the virtual object that is the same 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 by one. For example, the user preset portion is a head of the user, and the first virtual portion is a head of the virtual object; the user preset portion is a face of the user (including at least one of the five sense organs, such as eyes), and the first virtual portion is a face of the virtual object (including at least one of the five sense organs, such as eyes).

After the action data of the preset part of the user is obtained, determining a first virtual part of the virtual object corresponding to the preset part of the user according to a preset first association relation, and controlling the first virtual part of the virtual object to move according to the action data so as to ensure that the virtual object moves along with the user. For example, the user's head deflects, and the virtual object's head deflects synchronously; 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, the virtual model can also comprise a two-dimensional model and a three-dimensional model at the same time, namely, the virtual object is respectively constructed with the two-dimensional model and the three-dimensional model, the virtual object constructed with the two-dimensional model is a two-dimensional virtual object, and the virtual object constructed with the three-dimensional model is a three-dimensional virtual object. The two-dimensional model and the three-dimensional model can set control parameters and performance 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 performance effects can be achieved. For example, the motion data of the preset part of the user 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 preset part of the user. The two-dimensional model has the advantages of more secondary images, the three-dimensional model has the advantages of finer actions and higher synchronization rate with users, and the two-dimensional model and the three-dimensional model adopt the same standard in the embodiment, so that the advantages of both parties can be enhanced, different standards can be avoided from being adopted to process data, and the data processing capacity is reduced.

The three-dimensional model and the two-dimensional model respectively comprise a set of basic bones, each set of basic bones comprises a first bone corresponding to a first virtual part, and the first bone can comprise one basic bone or a plurality of basic bones. The number of underlying bones in the corresponding first bones may be different for different first virtual locations. The present embodiment achieves movement of the first virtual location by controlling movement of the first bone.

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

The association relation between the user preset part and the first skeleton is preset, namely the corresponding relation between the user preset part and the first skeleton, so that the first association relation 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 is obtained, determining a first skeleton associated with the preset part of the user according to the association relation, and determining skeleton data of the first skeleton 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 the bone data of the first bone can be rapidly determined according to the conversion relationship after the motion data is acquired. The skeleton data of the first skeleton is input to the first skeleton, so that the first skeleton can act, and the first skeleton can realize the synchronous movement of the first virtual part of the virtual object along with the preset part of the user.

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

For example, when the head of the user deflects leftwards, the left deflection angle of the head of the user is obtained, the first virtual part of the virtual object is determined to be the head of the virtual object, further, the first bone corresponding to the head of the virtual object is determined to be the head bone, and meanwhile, bone data of the head bone is determined according to the left deflection angle of the head of the user, so that the bone data is input to the head bone to control the head bone to act, so that the head of the virtual object deflects leftwards, and the deflection angle is the same as the left deflection angle of the head of the user. For another example, the left eye of the user is opened (the left eyelid of the user moves upwards), the degree of opening of the left eye of the user is obtained, the first virtual part of the virtual object is determined to be the left eyelid of the virtual object, the first bone corresponding to the left eyelid of the virtual object is determined to be the left eyelid bone, meanwhile, bone data of the left eyelid bone is determined according to the degree of opening of the left eye of the user, so that the bone data is input to the left eyelid bone, the left eyelid bone action is controlled, the left eyelid of the virtual object moves upwards, namely, the left eye of the virtual object is opened, and the opening degree is the same as the opening degree of the left eye of the user. Referring to fig. 3a and 3b, fig. 3a is a schematic view of an effect of left eye opening of a three-dimensional virtual object, and fig. 3b is a schematic view of an effect of left eye opening of a two-dimensional virtual object.

Similarly, the right eyes of the user are opened, and the right eyelid of the virtual object moves upwards, so that the right eyes of the virtual object are synchronously opened. The eyes of the user are upward seen (relative to the normal open eyes of the user, the eyelid of the user moves upward, and the opening degree of the eyes of the user is larger than that of the normal open eyes of the user), and the eyelid of the virtual object moves upward, so that the eyes of the virtual object synchronously upward see. Referring to fig. 4a and 4b, fig. 4a is a schematic view of an effect of a three-dimensional virtual object seen upward by eyes, and fig. 4b is a schematic view of an effect of a two-dimensional virtual object seen upward by eyes. The eyes of the user look downwards (the eyes of the user move downwards relative to the eyes of the user which are normally open, and the opening degree of the eyes of the user is smaller than the opening degree of the eyes which are normally open at the moment), and the eyes of the virtual object move downwards, so that the eyes of the virtual object look downwards synchronously. Referring to fig. 5a and 5b, fig. 5a is a schematic view of an eye-down effect of a three-dimensional virtual object, and fig. 5b is a schematic view of an eye-down effect of a two-dimensional virtual object. The eyes of the user look left and right (the eyeballs move left and right), and the eyeballs of the virtual object move left and right, so that the eyes of the virtual object look left and right synchronously. The user's eyebrows move up and down, and the virtual object's eyebrows move up and down synchronously. The user opens the mouth, the mouth shape of the virtual object is enlarged, and the virtual object opens the mouth synchronously.

And step 103, controlling the movement of the second virtual part of the virtual object according to the second association relation 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 other virtual parts in the virtual object is pre-established, and in step 101, only the action data of the user preset part is acquired, so only the second association relationship between the first virtual part and other virtual parts (i.e. the second virtual part) associated with the user preset 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 part comprises a first motion parameter, and the first motion parameter comprises at least one of the following: rotation parameters, opening and closing parameters, rocking parameters, scaling parameters, etc. For example, if the first virtual part is an eye, the motion state of the first virtual part includes an opening and closing parameter (first motion parameter). The motion state of the second virtual part comprises a second motion parameter, and the second motion parameter comprises at least one of the following: rotation parameters, opening and closing parameters, rocking parameters, scaling parameters, etc. For example, the second virtual part is an ear, and the motion state of the second virtual part 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 the corresponding relationship between the first motion parameter and the second motion parameter. Wherein the type of the first motion parameter may be different from the type of its corresponding second motion parameter. For example, the first virtual part 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 part 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 degree of change of the first motion parameter and the degree of change 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 proportional relationship between the degree of change of the first motion parameter and the degree of change of the second motion parameter. The degree of change can be rotation angle, opening and closing size, swing amplitude, scaling size and the like. For example, the first virtual part is an eyeball, the motion state of the eyeball is rotation, the corresponding second virtual part is a trunk, the motion state of the trunk is swinging, the degree of change of the first motion parameter is that the eyeball rotates by a first angle (such as 90 degrees clockwise), and the degree of change of the corresponding second motion parameter is that the trunk swings by a first amplitude (such as 30 degrees rightwards); when the degree of change of the first motion parameter is that the eyeball rotates by a second angle (such as 45 degrees anticlockwise), the corresponding degree of change of the second motion parameter is that the trunk swings by a second amplitude (such as 15 degrees leftwards).

The frequency of the change of the first motion parameter and the frequency of the change 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 the corresponding relationship between the frequency of the change of the first motion parameter and the frequency of the change of the second motion parameter. The change frequency can be rotation times, opening and closing times, swinging times, scaling times and the like in preset time (such as unit time). For example, the first virtual part is an eye, the movement state of the eye is open and close (blinks), the corresponding second virtual part is a tail, and the movement state of the tail is swaying. When the first motion parameter is that the frequency of eye opening and closing (blinking) is five times per minute (i.e., blinking five times within one minute), the frequency of tail rocking is once per minute (i.e., rocking tail once per 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. In addition, the second virtual location may be a location where the user does not exist, or is not captured by the motion capture device and/or the face capture device, or is not desired to be synchronized by the user. For example, the user preset portion is a user's head, the first virtual portion is a virtual object's head, and the second virtual portion is a virtual object's torso and limbs; the preset part of the user is the face (at least comprising one of the five sense organs) of the user, the first virtual part is the face (at least comprising one of the five sense organs) of the virtual object, and the second virtual part is the ear, tail and/or wing of the virtual object. The second virtual portion may be another portion, which is not particularly limited herein.

When the first virtual part of the virtual object moves, determining a second virtual part related to the first virtual part according to a preset association relation, so as to control the movement of the second virtual part according to the movement state of the first virtual part, so that the second virtual part and the first virtual part move simultaneously, and the harmony and flexibility of the movement 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 beats.

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

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

The association relation between the first skeleton corresponding to the first virtual part and the second skeleton corresponding to the second virtual part, namely the association relation between the first skeleton and the second skeleton, is preset, so that the second association relation 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 bone data of the first bone is used for controlling the first bone action, and meanwhile, 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. 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 skeleton data is input to the second skeleton, so that the second skeleton can act, and the movement of the second skeleton 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: rotation data, scaling data, movement data. The rotation data may be a rotation angle according to which the second bone may perform a rotation operation, and the second virtual part may be rotated according to the rotation operation of the second bone; the scaling data may be a scaling ratio according to which the second bone may perform a scaling action, and the second virtual part may be scaled according to the scaling action of the second bone; the movement data may be a movement displacement, the second bone may perform a movement motion according to the movement displacement, and the second virtual part may move according to the movement motion 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 the movement state of the first virtual part and the rotation data, scaling data and/or movement data of the second bone may control the movement state of the second virtual part. Through presetting the conversion relation between the rotation data, the scaling data and/or the movement data of the first bone and the rotation data, the scaling data and/or the movement data of the second bone, the binding relation between the motion parameters of the first virtual part and the motion parameters of the second virtual part can be determined, so that when the motion parameters of the first virtual part change, the motion parameters of the second virtual part can be driven to change, thereby realizing the motion of the first virtual part and driving the motion of the second virtual part.

For example, the first virtual part of the virtual object is the head of the virtual object, the first bone corresponding to the head of the virtual object is the head bone, and the head bone is associated with the trunk bone and the limb bone, the second virtual part of the virtual object is determined to be the trunk and the limb (limb) of the virtual object, the head of the virtual object is deflected leftwards, and the trunk and the limb of the virtual object are controlled to deflect leftwards according to the binding relation between the deflection angle of the head of the virtual object and the deflection angle of the trunk and the limb of the virtual object, but the deflection angle of the trunk and the limb is smaller than the deflection angle of the head, as shown in fig. 6 a. Likewise, when the head of the virtual object is reclined, the trunk of the virtual object is controlled to be slightly reclined according to the binding relation between the head back elevation angle of the virtual object and the trunk back elevation angle of the virtual object, as shown in fig. 6 b; when the head of the virtual object tilts forward, the trunk is controlled to slightly tilt forward according to the binding relation between the head tilting angle of the virtual object and the trunk tilting angle of the virtual object, as shown in fig. 6 c; when the head of the virtual object deflects leftwards, the trunk is controlled to slightly incline leftwards according to the binding relation between the leftwards deflection angle of the head of the virtual object and the leftwards deflection angle of the trunk of the virtual object, as shown in fig. 6 d.

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

For another example, the first virtual part 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 part of the virtual object is determined to be both ears of the virtual object. The eyes of the virtual object are normally opened, and the ears of the virtual object are normally erected as shown in fig. 7 a; left eyelid movement of the virtual object (left eye blinks) and left ear of the virtual object bends downward as shown in fig. 7 b; right eyelid of the virtual object moves up and down (right eye blinks), and right ear of the virtual object bends downward as shown in fig. 7 c; the eyelid of the eyes of the virtual object moves downwards (the eyes are closed), and the ears of the virtual object bend, as shown in fig. 7 d; the left eyelid of the virtual object continues to move upward relative to the normal open eye (left eye open to limit) and the left ear of the virtual object is vertical to limit as shown in fig. 7 e; the binocular eyelid of the virtual object continues to move upward relative to the normal open eyes (both eyes open to the limit) and both ears of the virtual object are vertical to the limit as shown in fig. 7 f.

It should be noted that, the left ear bone and the right ear bone may each include a plurality of basic bones, for example, the left ear bone includes a parent bone and two child bones, and the left eyelid bone is associated with the three basic bones so as to control the movements of the three basic bones, so as to ensure that the movement of the left ear is more flexible, rather than stiff movement.

In some embodiments, movement of a first virtual site necessarily triggers movement of its associated second virtual site. In other embodiments, random parameters 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, sometimes triggers movement of its associated second virtual location, sometimes does not trigger movement of its associated second virtual location.

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

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

For example, the first virtual part is the binocular eyelid of the virtual object, which frequently moves up and down (caused by frequent blinking of the user), and the second virtual part is the binaural of the virtual object. If the ears of the virtual object move all the time when the eyes blink, visual fatigue can be caused, and therefore the preset times are set to be 3 to 5 times, namely, each time the eyes of the virtual object blink 3 to 5 times, the ears of the virtual object jump once, so that the interestingness is increased.

All the above technical solutions may be combined to form an optional embodiment of the present application, which is not described here in detail.

According to the virtual object control method, action data of the preset part of the user is obtained; controlling the movement of a first virtual part of the virtual object according to the action data and the association relation between the preset part of the user and the first virtual part of the virtual object; and controlling the movement of the second virtual part of the virtual object according to the association relation between the first virtual part and the second virtual part of the virtual object. According to the method and the device for controlling the movement 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 association relation between the first virtual part and the second virtual part in the 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 the flexibility of the movement of the virtual object are improved, and the display effect is enriched.

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

in step 201, a virtual model is constructed for a virtual object, the virtual object comprising a first virtual part and a second virtual part, the virtual model comprising a first skeleton corresponding to the first virtual part and a second skeleton corresponding to the second virtual part.

For example, virtual models of virtual objects are made by adopting software such as Live2D or 3D, CG, so that the virtual models can be three-dimensional models or two-dimensional models, virtual objects constructed by the three-dimensional models are three-dimensional virtual objects, and virtual objects constructed by the two-dimensional models are two-dimensional virtual objects.

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

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

Step 203, setting an association relationship between a first bone corresponding to the first virtual part and a second bone 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 the mouth of the virtual object and the second virtual location is the tail of the virtual object.

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

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

Step 205, determining bone data of the first bone according to the motion data and the association relationship between the preset position of the user and the first bone corresponding to the first virtual position.

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

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

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

Step 207, determining bone data of the second bone according to the bone data of the first bone and the association relationship 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.

Step 208, controlling the second virtual part motion of the virtual object according to the bone data of the second bone.

For example, according to the skeletal data of the tail skeleton, the tail swing of the virtual object is controlled, so that the mouth and tail movement of the virtual object can be simultaneously controlled by acquiring the action 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 for 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 association 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 the flexibility of the movement of the virtual object are improved, and the expression effect is enriched.

Wherein the second virtual location may comprise one or more locations of the virtual object, the different first virtual locations, and the associated second virtual locations may be the same or different.
