Referring to fig. 2, fig. 2 is a schematic flow chart of a specific animation processing method according to an embodiment of the present application, where a specific flow of the specific animation processing method may be shown in steps 101 to 104 as follows:

101, generating a virtual grid body combination model according to the initial reference spline line and a plurality of virtual grid bodies.

Then, the game designer can create an initial reference spline in the target virtual scene through the spline component in the virtual engine and add to the target virtual scene; the game designer may also create a plurality of virtual grid bodies in the virtual engine through the grid body component and add the plurality of virtual grid bodies to the target virtual scene, wherein the number of virtual grid bodies may be set according to the specific design requirements of the game designer.

Specifically, a game designer may create a blueprint of an Actor class in the illusion engine, and then add spline components and static grid components to the blueprint of the Actor class to add spline and multiple virtual grid bodies to the blueprint. Further, adding a static mesh component to the blueprint may add a static mesh to the spline for the purpose of visualizing the spline, the visualized spline being made up of multiple meshes.

Where actors refer to all objects in the illusion engine that can be placed into a checkpoint, such as a camera, a static grid body, and a player starting position. The Actor supports three-dimensional transformations, such as panning, rotating, and zooming, and may also be created (generated) or destroyed by game logic code (c++ or blueprint). A Spline Component (Spline Component) is one path for defining and using position data. Spline lines added by the spline line component can be completely edited in a blueprint viewport and a checkpoint editor, spline points can be added/removed/copied, the tangent types of the spline points can be changed, and even animation can be set for the spline points according to a tick. In addition, spline lines can also be edited using the blueprint construction script, and the spline lines can be accepted for editing in the blueprint viewport or checkpoint editor and further modified.

To visualize the virtual grid volumes for game designer to make in the virtual engine, the step of generating a virtual grid volume combination model from the initial reference spline and the plurality of virtual grid volumes may comprise:

and based on the line information of the initial reference spline, arranging and combining each virtual grid body in the plurality of virtual grid bodies on the initial reference spline to generate a virtual grid body combination model, wherein the line information characterizes the line attribute of the initial reference spline.

The virtual grid body combination model can be an ordered set or whole formed by a specified number of virtual grid bodies according to the space position information of each virtual grid body. The virtual grid body provided in the embodiment of the application is an instantiated static grid body (ISM) generated by an instantiated static grid body component, and because grid body rendering can be performed through one rendering instruction for a plurality of instantiated static grid bodies, the operation is convenient and fast when the instantiated static grid bodies are rendered by adopting the instantiated static grid body. Specifically, the virtual grid body combination model generated by arranging and combining the virtual grid bodies in the plurality of virtual grid bodies on the initial reference spline based on the line information of the initial reference spline may be a linear virtual grid body combination model.

Specifically, the line attribute of the initial reference spline line at least comprises a line length. The step of arranging and combining each virtual grid body in the plurality of virtual grid bodies on the initial reference spline line based on the line information of the initial reference spline line to generate a virtual grid body combination model, and the method may include:

determining a target distance based on the line length of the initial reference spline and the grid number of the plurality of virtual grid bodies, wherein the target distance is a distance distributed and set on the initial reference spline by each virtual grid body in the plurality of virtual grid bodies;

and according to the target distance, arranging and combining the plurality of virtual grid bodies on the initial reference spline line to generate a virtual grid body combination model.

Further, in the step of "the arranging and combining the plurality of virtual grid bodies on the initial reference spline line according to the target pitch to generate a virtual grid body combination model", the method may include:

And based on the setting positions of all line points on the target reference spline, arranging all virtual grid bodies in the plurality of virtual grid bodies on the target reference spline to generate a virtual grid body combination model.

For example, a game designer creates an initial reference spline in a target virtual scene through a spline component at a virtual engine and adds to the target virtual scene, the game designer can set a line length for the initial reference spline through the spline component; also, the game designer may create a specified number of virtual grid bodies in the virtual engine through the grid body component and add the specified number of virtual grid bodies to the target virtual scene. Then, the computer device can determine the target distance between two adjacent virtual grid bodies when each virtual grid body is arranged and distributed on the initial reference spline line based on the line length and the specified number, and the target distance between the two adjacent virtual grid bodies is obtained by dividing the line length by the specified number. Then, the initial reference spline can be divided according to two endpoints of the initial reference spline, the line length and the target distance to obtain a target reference spline with a plurality of line points, wherein each line point has a corresponding setting position on the target reference spline. Finally, each virtual grid body in the specified number of virtual grid bodies can be respectively associated with a corresponding line point so as to arrange each virtual grid body in the specified number of virtual grid bodies on the target reference spline line, and a virtual grid body combination model can be generated.

102, acquiring the space position information of each virtual grid body in the virtual grid body combination model, and obtaining a plurality of space position information.

In order to determine the spatial position information of the virtual grid body, the step of acquiring the spatial position information of each virtual grid body in the virtual grid body combination model to obtain a plurality of spatial position information may include:

and sequentially performing cyclic processing on each line point of the target reference spline based on the number of the grid bodies, the target distance and the current cyclic times to obtain the spatial position information of each line point of the target reference spline, and taking the spatial position information as the spatial position information of the virtual grid body corresponding to the line point.

For example, in the embodiment of the application, the computer device may perform a cyclic calculation on the target distance between two adjacent virtual grid bodies through the program programming interface, so as to obtain the spatial position information of each line point of the target reference spline line. Specifically, the computer device uses a circulation function in the virtual engine, takes the designated number as circulation times, sequentially carries out circulation processing on each line point on the target reference spline, takes the length of each circulation as input to obtain spatial position information corresponding to the target reference point, wherein the target reference spline comprises a starting reference point, an ending reference point and an intermediate reference point between the starting reference point and the ending reference point, the length of each circulation is determined based on the circulation times, the starting reference point and the intermediate reference point corresponding to the current circulation times, the target length used in the next circulation can be obtained by multiplying the current circulation times by the target distance, and then the target length is taken as input of the next circulation to obtain the spatial position information corresponding to the reference point, wherein the current circulation times are the circulation times corresponding to the current circulation processing after the circulation processing is started.

Specifically, the step of sequentially performing cyclic processing on each line point of the target reference spline based on the number of mesh bodies, the target distance and the current cyclic times to obtain spatial position information of each line point of the target reference spline, and using the spatial position information as spatial position information of a virtual mesh body corresponding to the line point, where the method may include:

And associating each virtual grid body in the virtual grid body combination model with a corresponding material color value, so that each virtual grid body in the virtual grid body combination model has the material effect of the corresponding material color value.

For example, the computer device may declare a texture instance for each virtual grid in the virtual grid combination model in the virtual engine, so as to increase the texture effect for each virtual grid, and use the result obtained by dividing the number of current cycles corresponding to each virtual grid by the specified number of virtual grids as the gray value corresponding to each virtual grid, and use the program programming interface to transfer the gray value corresponding to each virtual grid into the shader, so that the texture color of each virtual grid has a gradual effect from light to dark or from dark to light from the starting reference point to the ending reference point of the target spline line, thereby facilitating the game maker to preview the effect of the spline line in real time.

Optionally, in order to enable the game maker to perform personalized adjustment on the target reference spline, the game maker may perform position adjustment and length adjustment on the target reference spline in the virtual engine, and may further perform adjustment on the target reference spline motion track by copying the end points of the target reference spline, for example, may implement turning of the target reference spline motion track. For example, the game maker may adjust the coordinate positions of the reference points in the target reference spline in the virtual scene, thereby adjusting the position of the target reference spline in the virtual scene. Or, copying an end point in the target reference spline line to generate a new end point obtained by copying, and carrying out interpolation processing according to the end point and the new end point obtained by copying to obtain a line segment between the two end points, thereby realizing turning of the target reference spline line motion trail.

And 103, adjusting the particle emission parameters of the particle emitter based on the plurality of spatial position information and the specified texture information to obtain the target particle emitter.

104, emitting a plurality of target particles with target textures at each space position by the target particle emitter so as to form target special effect animation according to the plurality of target particles.

In this embodiment of the present application, a game maker may call the target particle emitter obtained in the above step in the virtual engine, and emit, by using the target particle emitter, a plurality of target particles having a target texture at each spatial position, so as to form a target special effect animation according to the plurality of target particles, where the target special effect animation is a special effect animation with a motion track, and the motion track is a line track of an initial reference spline.

In order to enable a game maker to perform personalized adjustment on target special effect animation and generate special effect animation meeting the requirements of the game maker, the method provided by the embodiment of the application can further comprise the following steps:
