Computing device 100 may also be a mobile or stationary server.

Wherein the processor 120 may perform the steps of the animation generation method shown in fig. 2. Fig. 2 shows a flowchart of an animation generation method according to an embodiment of the present application, which specifically includes the following steps:

step 202: based on the received animation creation instruction, an animation object is determined.

The animation creating instruction is an instruction for creating a playable animation file; the animation object can be understood as animation resources such as an animation character, a camera, an animation prop and the like. In practical applications, when the animation editor receives the animation creation instruction, animation data for creating an animation file needs to be determined, and the animation file needs to be created based on the animation data. The animation editor may be an animation editor for executing an animation, or may be a plug-in editor in an animation editor for another animation, which is not limited herein.

In specific implementation, in order to optimize the process of creating the animation by the user and facilitate the user to manage animation elements (including animation objects) in the animation, the animation object may be created first, and then other animation elements that affect the animation object may be created based on the created animation object, so as to perform classification management on various animation elements based on the animation object.

Therefore, how to create an animation object has a significant influence on the animation creation process, if the created animation object can well classify animation elements and meet the creation requirement, the animation creation efficiency of a user can be greatly improved, and in the specific implementation, some animation resources which are mainly or frequently used in the animation creation process can be firstly classified according to functions or categories, and then the animation object is created based on the classified animation object types.

In practical application, after a user submits an object creating instruction, animation object types which can be created are displayed to the user, the animation object types are displayed in an animation object list, and specifically, the animation object type list comprises animation object types which are not limited to a director type, a camera type, an actor type, a special effect type, a light type and the like. Further, the director-type animation object is used for controlling the whole animation, such as shot switching, animation playing speed and the like in the animation; the camera type animation object determines the observation visual angle and the display range of playing animation; the animation object of the actor type refers to a virtual object in the animation; determining the special effect in the animation by the animation object of the special effect type; the animation object of the light type determines the light effect in the animation; in addition, the animation object type list may further include an animation object type of a scene type for setting a scene, and the like, which is not limited herein.

Based on this, the user can select the animation object type (i.e. the target animation object type) that he wants to create from the list of animation object types, and then the animation object can be created based on the target animation object type.

During specific implementation, the main animation object types are abstracted from the animation editor, and animation objects required by animation scene requirements can be created according to the animation object types in the animation editing process.

Such as: receiving an object creating instruction submitted by a user U in the animation editor, and displaying an animation object type list preset in the animation editor in response to the object creating instruction, wherein the animation object type list comprises: the method comprises the following steps of receiving an actor type selected by a user U in an animation object type list as a target animation object type, and creating an animation object of the actor type: actor 1.

In summary, in response to the received object creation instruction, the animation object type list is displayed, and the animation object corresponding to the target animation object type is created based on the target animation object type selected from the animation object type list, so that the corresponding animation object is created based on the animation object types divided in advance, the type division of the animation object is realized, the required creation of the animation object type is flexibly selected from multiple animation object types to create the animation object, and the flexibility of creating the animation object is increased.

Step 204: and reading animation events which are created in advance aiming at the animation tracks corresponding to the animation objects. Specifically, on the basis of the determination of the animation objects, since the animation editor hierarchically manages other animation elements on the basis of the animation objects in order to avoid mutual influence between the animation objects and increase difficulty in animation creation due to mismanagement of the animation elements during animation editing, when creating an animation file, the animation file can be created by reading the corresponding animation elements according to these hierarchical relationships.

The animation track refers to a time axis set for an animation object, and can be used for managing animation events of the animation object. The animation event refers to a set configured in advance to cause an animation object to execute a specific animation function at a specific time.

In specific implementation, because the types of the animation sub-events in the animation event set are various, the animation sub-events are interlaced together, which is not beneficial to animation creation and management of animation elements, and in order to further improve the efficiency of animation creation and the management convenience of animation elements, the animation sub-events can be further classified and managed, in the embodiment of the application, the following method is specifically adopted: reading a basic animation event which is pre-created aiming at an active animation track corresponding to the animation object, and reading an extended animation event which is pre-created aiming at a sub-animation track associated with a target animation object, wherein the target animation object is the animation object associated with the sub-animation track in the animation object; specifically, the animation track is divided into two track types, namely a main animation track and a sub animation track, and the animation event is divided into two event type sets, namely a basic animation event and an extended animation event, wherein any one basic animation sub-event in the basic animation event is an animation sub-event, and any one extended animation sub-event in the extended animation event is an animation sub-event.

In practical application, each animation object corresponds to an active drawing track, a plurality of basic animation sub-events can be created or configured on the active drawing track, and the basic animation sub-events form a basic animation event. In addition, when the basic animation event can not meet the configuration requirement of the animation object, at least one associated sub-animation track can be created or added for the animation object, so that at least one corresponding extended animation sub-event is created or configured on each sub-animation track, and the sub-extended animation sub-events form an extended animation event.

The active drawing track is a basic time axis which is set for the animation object and is used for managing basic animation events, and is used for managing the time of the basic animation events of the animation object during the animation playing. Accordingly, a base animation sub-event in the base animation event is used to cause the animation object to perform a base animation function such as binding an object, binding an actor, following, and the like. The sub animation track is an extended time axis which is set for the animation object and is used for performing extended animation event management, and is used for performing time management on the extended animation event of the animation object during animation playing. The number of the sub animation tracks may be one or more, and is not limited herein. Accordingly, an extended animation sub-event in an extended animation event is used to cause an animated object to perform an extended animation function such as an action, a skeletal action, a facial animation, etc. In practical applications, which animation sub-events belong to the basic animation sub-events and which animation sub-events belong to the extended sub-events are set in advance in the animation editor according to the types of the animation sub-events.

In specific implementation, considering that the types of the extended animation sub-events are also various, in order to avoid that multiple types of extended animation sub-events are managed on one sub-animation track, so that the editing efficiency of the animation is affected, the types of the sub-animation tracks can be set in advance according to the types of the extended animation sub-events corresponding to each animation object type, and then the sub-animation tracks are created according to the types of the sub-animation tracks, in the embodiment of the application, any one sub-animation track is created in the following manner:

The sub-track creation instruction refers to an instruction for creating a sub-animation track. In practical application, since the sub animation track exists depending on the animation object, the extended animation event of the animation object is managed. Thus, a sub-track creation instruction may be submitted for configuring an animation object that creates an extended animation sub-event. And the purpose of creating the sub animation track is to create an extended animation sub-event thereon and manage the extended animation sub-event through the sub animation track.

Further, since each animation object can correspond to multiple types of animation implementations, these different types of animation implementations are generally related to object properties (such as functions, object parts, etc.) of the animation object. Therefore, it is possible to previously divide a plurality of sub animation track types according to the object attribute of each animation object, and form these sub animation track types into a sub animation track list. So that extended animation events of corresponding types are managed on different types of sub-animation tracks. When the sub animation track is created for any animation object, the sub animation track list associated with the object property of any animation object can be displayed. And then based on the target sub-track type selected by the user in the sub-track type list, creating a sub-animation track corresponding to the target sub-track type, and taking the created sub-animation track as the sub-animation track associated with any one animation object.

Following the above example: creating an animation object as described above: on the basis of the actor 1, receiving a sub-track creating instruction submitted by a user U in an animation editor aiming at the actor 1, and displaying a sub-animation track type list which is preset in the animation editor and is related to the function and the part of the actor 1 in response to the sub-track creating instruction, wherein the sub-animation track type list comprises: action type, facial action type, etc. Receiving an action type selected by a user U in the sub animation track type list as a target sub animation track type, and creating a sub animation track of the action type: and the created motion track is used as a sub-animation track associated with the actor of the animation object.

In summary, by receiving a sub-track creation instruction for any one of the plurality of animation objects, and in response to the sub-track creation instruction, presenting a sub-track type list associated with an object attribute of the any one animation object, and then creating a sub-animation track based on a target sub-track type selected in the sub-track type list. The method and the device realize the type division of the sub-animation tracks, flexibly select the required sub-animation track type from various sub-animation track types to create the sub-animation track, and increase the flexibility of creating the sub-animation track.

In practical applications, because some animation objects may be associated with sub-animation tracks and some animation objects do not create associated sub-animation tracks, in order to read an extended animation event created in advance on a sub-animation track, it is necessary to determine an animation object associated with a sub-animation track (i.e., a target animation object).

In specific implementation, on the basis of creating an animation object, different basic functions can be implemented for each animation object, so that in order to avoid mutual influence among different basic functions, different basic functions of the animation object can be divided into different basic sub-event types in advance, and then a basic animation sub-event is created according to the basic sub-event type.

The basic sub-event adding instruction refers to an instruction for adding a basic animation sub-event. In practical applications, any one of the basic animation sub-events has a time interval for event execution, and the time interval is composed of an event starting time and an event ending time. The time interval may be embodied on an animation timeline. And the basic animation sub-event is used for realizing the basic function of the animation object, so the basic animation sub-event is created on the basic time axis (active drawing track) corresponding to the animation object. And therefore when creating the base animation sub-event, the base sub-event creation instruction needs to be submitted for the base timeline (active drawing track).

Further, since the event types of the basic animation sub-event corresponding to each animation object are various, different types of basic animation sub-events may need to set different properties. In order to avoid the mutual influence among different types of basic animation sub-events, the basic animation sub-events need to be divided into at least one basic sub-event type according to the animation object, and the basic sub-event types form a basic sub-event type list. When a basic animation sub-event is created on the active drawing track corresponding to any one animation object, a basic sub-event type list corresponding to the active drawing track corresponding to the animation object can be displayed. And then, based on the target basic sub-event type selected by the user in the basic sub-event type list, creating a basic animation sub-event corresponding to the target basic sub-event type. It should be noted that at least one base animation sub-event may be created for the main animation track, and a set of these base animation sub-events is referred to as a base animation event.

Following the above example: creating an animation object as described above: on the basis of the actor 1, receiving a basic sub-event creating instruction submitted by a user U in an animation editor aiming at an active drawing track corresponding to the actor 1, and displaying a basic sub-event type list corresponding to the active drawing track of the actor 1 in the animation editor in response to the basic sub-event creating instruction, wherein the basic sub-event type list comprises: bound object type, bound actor type, follow type. Receiving a binding object type selected by a user U in the basic sub-event type list as a target basic sub-event type, and creating a basic animation sub-event of the binding object type: the binding object a specifically indicates that the object a is displayed in a scene in a time interval corresponding to the event.

In summary, a basic sub-event creating instruction of an active drawing track corresponding to any one animation object is received by aiming at any one animation object in a plurality of animation objects, and the corresponding basic animation sub-event is created through a target basic sub-event type selected in a basic sub-event type list in response to the basic sub-event creating instruction. The method and the device realize the type division of the basic animation sub-event of the animation object, flexibly select the required basic sub-event type from a plurality of basic sub-event types to establish the basic animation sub-event, and increase the flexibility of establishing the basic animation sub-event.

Similarly, on the basis of creating an animation object, different extended functions can be implemented for each animation object, so that in order to avoid mutual influence between different extended functions, different extended functions of the animation object can be divided into different extended sub-event types in advance, and an extended animation sub-event is created according to the extended sub-event type.

The extension sub-event creating instruction refers to an instruction for adding an extension animation sub-event. In practical applications, any extended animation sub-event has a time interval for event execution, and the time interval is also composed of an event start time and an event end time. The time interval also needs to be embodied on the animation timeline. And the extended animation sub-event is an extended function to implement the animation object, and thus the extended animation sub-event is created on an extended time axis (i.e., a sub-animation track) associated with the animation object. Thus, when creating an extended animation sub-event, an extended sub-event creation instruction needs to be submitted for the sub-animation track.

Further, since the event types of the extended animation sub-event are various, different types of extended animation sub-events may need to set different properties. In order to avoid the mutual influence among different types of extended animation sub-events, the extended animation sub-events are divided into at least one extended sub-event type according to the animation object, and the extended sub-event types form an extended sub-event type list. When the extended animation sub-event is created on the sub-animation track associated with any animation object, the extended sub-event type list corresponding to the sub-animation track associated with the animation object can be displayed. And then based on the target extension sub-event type selected by the user in the extension sub-event type list, creating an extension animation sub-event corresponding to the target extension sub-event type. It should be noted that at least one extended animation sub-event may also be created for a sub-animation track, and a set of these extended animation sub-events is referred to as an extended animation event.

Following the above example: creating an animation object as described above: on the basis of the actor 1, receiving an extension sub-event creating instruction submitted by a user U in an animation editor aiming at an action track associated with the actor 1, and displaying an extension sub-event type list corresponding to the action track of the actor 1 in the animation editor in response to the extension sub-event creating instruction, wherein the extension sub-event type list comprises: leg action type, hand action type, head action type. Receiving a leg action type selected by a user U in the extended sub-event type list as a target extended sub-event type, and creating an extended animation sub-event of the leg action type: a kicking event. The kicking sub-event indicates that the actor 1 is controlled to perform a kicking action in a time interval corresponding to the event.

The animation object has been created in the animation editor specifically shown in fig. 3: an actor 1 whose animated image of the actor 1 is displayed in an animation display area of an animation editor. In addition, actor 1 has a corresponding active drawing track and a sub-animation track, and a base animation sub-event is created for the active drawing track corresponding to actor 1: binding object a, creates an extended animation sub-event for the sub-animation track associated with actor 1: a kicking event.

In summary, by aiming at any one of the plurality of target animation objects, an extended sub-event creation instruction of a sub-animation track associated with any one of the target animation objects is received, and in response to the extended sub-event creation instruction, a corresponding extended animation sub-event is created by the target extended sub-event type selected in the extended sub-event type list. The method and the device realize the type division of the extended animation sub-event of the animation object, flexibly select the required extended sub-event type from a plurality of extended sub-event types to establish the extended animation sub-event, and increase the flexibility of establishing the extended animation sub-event.

In practical applications, it may be necessary to view the created animation sub-event (base animation sub-event or extended animation sub-event). When editing the animation sub-events in the animation editor, if the sub-region of the event operation of each animation sub-event is linearly traversed to determine the animation sub-event matched with the click of the user, the time consumption is long. Therefore, the event operation sub-region of each animation sub-event can be traversed in the form of a quadtree, and the embodiment of the application further includes:

The event operation area refers to an interface area which is included in the animation editor and can operate at least one animation sub-event. An event query instruction is an instruction for querying any animation sub-event (basic animation sub-event or extended animation sub-event); each event operation sub-region refers to any one of the created animation sub-events and the operation sub-region corresponding to the event operation region; the event manipulation sub-region may also be understood as an event bounding box.

In practical applications, in order to query an animation sub-event that has been created, the animation sub-event that has been created is usually mapped in an editing interface of an animation editor in the form of an event operation sub-region, so that a user can check any animation sub-event when submitting an event query instruction by performing an operation in the event operation sub-region corresponding to the animation sub-event. But because the animation sub-event which the user wants to view is determined according to the operation position of the user. Therefore, the position information carried in the event query instruction of the user needs to be compared with the event operation sub-region of the animation sub-event included in the event operation region to determine the event operation sub-region matched with the position information. And using the animation sub-event corresponding to the matched event operation sub-region as the animation sub-event corresponding to the event query instruction.

In specific implementation, the event quadtree may be traversed, where the event quadtree is formed based on the event operation sub-region corresponding to the created animation sub-event, that is, the event quadtree corresponding to the event operation region is traversed, and the position information (for example, click position information carried in an event query command submitted by clicking) carried in the event query command is compared with the event operation sub-regions corresponding to the leaf nodes in the event quadtree, so as to determine the event operation sub-region corresponding to the position information. And the animation sub-event corresponding to the corresponding event operation sub-region is taken as a target animation sub-event, and the target animation sub-event (a target basic animation sub-event or a target extended animation sub-event) is displayed. Specifically, the target animation sub-event can be displayed through an event panel displaying the target animation sub-event.

Further, the user can edit the queried animation sub-event in the displayed event panel. After the editing is completed, the animation editor updates the queried animation sub-events based on the event information in the event panel.

Following the above example, assume that two base animation sub-events and three extension animation sub-events have been created for actor 1, these two base animation sub-events being: binding an object A and a following object B; the three extended animation sub-events are respectively: a leg kick event, a head nod event, and a hand swing event. Specifically, as shown in fig. 4, in the event operation area in the animation editor, the binding object a corresponds to the event operation sub-area cr1, and the following object B corresponds to the event operation sub-area cr 2; the kick sub-event corresponds to the event operation sub-region cr3, the click sub-event corresponds to the event operation sub-region cr4, and the hand swing sub-event corresponds to the event operation sub-region cr 5. The animation sub-events are displayed in an event operation area of the animation editor in a mode of the event operation sub-area. Receiving an event query instruction submitted by a user U in an event operation area, traversing an event quadtree created in advance for the event operation area and event operation sub-areas of 5 animation sub-events, comparing the position information d1 carried in the event query instruction with the 5 event operation sub-areas corresponding to nodes of the event quadtree, determining that the position information d1 is matched with the event operation sub-area cr4, and displaying an event panel corresponding to the head sub-event corresponding to the event operation sub-area cr 4.

In conclusion, the animation sub-events to be checked are inquired in a mode of traversing the quadtree, and the inquiry efficiency of the animation sub-events corresponding to the inquiry event inquiry instruction is improved.

In specific implementation, each created animation sub-event needs to be included in the event quadtree, and in order to avoid that the event quadtree needs to be reconstructed after a new animation sub-event is created each time, a new animation sub-event can be created each time, and the created event quadtree is updated based on the event operation sub-region of the newly created animation sub-event, in the embodiment of the present application, the event quadtree is updated in the following manner:

In practical application, each leaf node in the event quadtree corresponds to a node region in the event operation region, and each leaf node corresponds to an event operation sub-region included in the node region. Therefore, it is necessary to determine a node area where the operation event sub-area of the newly created animation sub-event (the basic animation sub-event or the extended animation sub-event) is located, and then determine a corresponding target node of the node area in the event quadtree. And updating the event quadtree by adding the operation event sub-region position of the newly created animation sub-event to the target node for updating, so as to obtain the updated event quadtree. For example, the target node originally corresponds to 1 event operation sub-region, and after the target node is updated by the operation event sub-region of the newly created animation sub-event, the target node corresponds to 2 event operation sub-regions.

Along the above example, it is assumed that there are 4 leaf nodes in the event quadtree, and the 4 leaf nodes are respectively leaf node a, leaf node B, leaf node C and leaf node D, where leaf node a corresponds to event operation sub-region cr1, leaf node B corresponds to event operation sub-region cr3, leaf node C corresponds to event operation sub-region cr2, and leaf node D corresponds to event operation sub-region cr 4. After the extended animation sub-event is created: after the hand swing sub-event, if it is determined that the event operation sub-region cr5 of the hand swing sub-event is in the node region corresponding to the leaf node C, the leaf node C is taken as the target node. The leaf node C originally corresponds to the event operation sub-region cr2 of the follower object B, and the leaf node C is updated by adding the event operation sub-region r5 to the leaf node C, and the updated leaf node C corresponds to the event operation sub-region cr2 of the follower object B and the event operation sub-region cr5 of the waving sub-event. Further, the updated event quadtree is obtained by updating the leaf node C in the event quadtree.

In summary, after the event quadtree is created for the first time, the event quadtree only needs to be updated through the event operation sub-region corresponding to the newly created animation sub-event after the animation sub-event is created each time, and the efficiency of checking the event is indirectly improved.

Step 206: and creating a target animation file based on the animation object, the animation track and the animation event.

Specifically, in addition to reading the animation event, in order to include all animation elements in the created target animation file, a playable animation (i.e., a target animation file) is created based on animation elements such as an animation object, an animation track, and an animation event.

During specific implementation, a blank initial animation file can be created, animation data corresponding to an animation object, an animation track and an animation event are read from a memory, and the animation data are added to the initial animation file according to a preset format to generate a target animation file. Furthermore, the target animation file can be played by calling a playing interface so as to play the created target animation.

In order to enable the created target animation file to include all animation elements created in an animation editing process on the basis that the animation track is divided into a main animation track and a sub animation track and an animation event is divided into a basic animation event and an extended animation event, according to the embodiment of the application, the target animation file is created on the basis of the animation object, the main animation track, the basic animation event, the sub animation track and the extended animation event. The created target animation file is well-defined in hierarchy and is more interpretable. In particular, in the process of creating an animation by editing an animation editor, some animation resources of a preset type in the animation editor may be referenced, for example: the method and the system for creating the animation file have the advantages that the material resources, the map resources, the animation clip resources and the like which are imported or configured in advance in the animation editor are not beneficial to the migration of the animation file if only the reference relations are directly saved for the resources in the process of creating the animation file, so that the resource information of the referenced original resources can be directly saved in the animation file, and the method and the system for creating the animation file are specifically realized by the following steps:

The preset type refers to a preset resource type of the animation resource. In practical application, the resource type which is relatively independent relative to the animation editor can be set as a preset type, and in this case, reading the resource information in the animation editor is relatively simple, so that the resource information of the animation resources can be directly read.

In specific implementation, the created animation object, animation track and animation event are used as animation elements, each of the animation elements may refer to animation resources, and therefore, the following steps are required: and selecting an animation element associated with a preset type of animation resource from the animation object, the animation track and the animation event as at least one target animation element. So as to read preset types of animation resources (i.e., target animation resources) associated (referenced or depended on) with the target animation elements and read resource information of the target animation resources.

And updating the target animation elements with the association relationship through the read resource information according to the association relationship (reference relationship or dependency relationship) between the target animation resources and at least one target animation element. And updating the animation object, the animation track and the animation element corresponding to the animation object in the animation event based on the updated at least one target animation element to obtain the updated animation element so as to create a target animation file based on the updated animation elements.

Following the above example, an animation creation instruction submitted by a user U is received, and all animation objects created in an animation editor are determined in response to the animation creation instruction, the animation objects including: the actor 1, the director 1 and the camera 1 read basic animation events which are created in advance aiming at active drawing tracks corresponding to the three animation objects, wherein the basic animation events comprise: binding object a (basic animation sub-event). And selecting an animation object associated with the sub-animation track among the three animation objects: actor 1, the animation object: actor 1 serves as the target animation object. And reads an extended animation event created in advance by an action track (sub-animation track) associated with the target animation object actor 1, the extended animation event including: a kicking sub-event (an extended animation sub-event).

Three animation objects, active drawing tracks corresponding to the three animation objects, action tracks associated with actors 1, a binding object A and kicking sub-events are used as animation elements, and preset types are preset in the animation elements: under the condition of the animation resources of the map type and the material type, determining that the target animation elements of the animation resources related to the preset type in the animation elements are as follows: the object a is bound. And determining that the preset type (associated) target animation resources configured in the binding object a are: and reading the file information contained in the file A. And updating the binding object A based on the read file information to obtain the updated binding object A.

In summary, by reading the resource information of the target animation resource associated with the target animation element and updating the target animation element based on the resource information, the created target animation file directly includes the resource information of the animation resource, which is convenient for transplanting the target animation file.

In addition, animation elements related to the preform resources also exist in the animation elements, and since the preform resources themselves are created in advance by an animation editor, and the stored information needs to be analyzed by the animation editor, for such preform resources, in order to avoid that it takes too long time and more resources to analyze the preform resources, resource paths of the preform resources can be saved, which is specifically implemented in the following manner in the embodiment of the present application:

Because the dependence of the prefabricated part resources on the animation editor is larger, the difficulty in reading the resource information in the prefabricated part resources is larger, and especially, when the animation editor is used as a plug-in editor and the prefabricated part resources are pre-created by an original editor corresponding to the plug-in editor, the resource information in the prefabricated part resources is difficult to analyze, so that the resource paths of the prefabricated part resources can be directly determined.

In specific implementation, the created animation object, active drawing track, basic animation event, sub animation track and extended animation event are used as animation elements, each animation element in the animation elements may also refer to a preform resource, and therefore, the method needs to pass through: selecting an animation element associated with the pre-form resource as at least one pre-form animation element among an animation object, an active draw track, a base animation event, a sub-animation track, and an extended animation event. In order to determine the resource path of the target preform resource to which these preform animation elements are associated (referenced or dependent).

And updating the prefabricated animation elements with the association relationship through the determined resource path according to the association relationship (reference relationship or dependency relationship) between the target prefabricated resource and at least one prefabricated animation element. And updating the animation object, the animation track and the animation element corresponding to the animation object in the animation event based on the updated at least one prefabricated part animation element to obtain an updated animation element so as to create a target animation file based on the updated animation elements.

According to the above example, three animation objects, active drawing tracks corresponding to the three animation objects, action tracks associated with the actor 1, the bound object a and the kicking sub-event are taken as animation elements, and the prefab elements of the associated prefab resources in the animation elements are determined as follows: actor 1. A target prefabricated resource file B configured (associated) in the actor 1 is determined and a resource path p1 of the target prefabricated resource file B is determined. Actor 1 is updated based on resource path p1 to obtain updated actor 1.

In conclusion, the resource path of the target prefabricated part resource associated with the prefabricated part animation element is determined, and the prefabricated part animation element is updated based on the resource path, so that the created target animation file directly contains the resource path of the prefabricated part resource, and the generation efficiency of the target animation file is guaranteed.

To sum up, in the animation generation method provided in the embodiment of the present application, based on the received animation creation instruction, the created animation object is determined, and an animation event created in advance for an animation track corresponding to the animation object is read; and then according to the hierarchical structure of the animation object, the animation track and the animation event, the target animation file is created based on the animation object, the animation track and the animation event, so that the target animation file is created according to the hierarchical structure of the animation track and the animation event corresponding to the animation object, the animation layer is more visual and is convenient to understand, the animation creating efficiency of a user is improved, and the creating experience of the user is improved.
