Description

{Manufacture and display methods of 3D animation data}

The present invention relates to a method for producing and outputting 3D animation data. In particular, by displaying the key frame information as the information on the vertex and the speed of the animation character data to be produced, and by displaying the main portion of the texture map as the texture map position information, to minimize the amount of data of the animation character, The present invention relates to a method for producing and outputting animation data in which animation characters not produced in advance are produced.

Recently, with the spread of the Integrated Service Digital Network (ISDN), Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line (ADSL), and Local Area Network (LAN), there has been a surge in the population using the Internet, providing information, education, e-commerce, Services such as finance, advertising and entertainment / video are expanding online.

In particular, the entertainment / video service using two-dimensional or three-dimensional animation on the Internet can be combined with advertising and e-commerce, the utilization of which can be very large. A series of methods related to the generation, transmission, and output of the two-dimensional or three-dimensional animation data have been proposed for marketing an animated character that is of most interest.

The two-dimensional animation data is first produced as a two-dimensional animation (2D animation set) of scenes that can interact with the user.

Here, the produced two-dimensional animation data is set in advance to correspond to the user's response, the scene corresponding to the user's response in advance, and animate the set scenes, and transmits to the local computer via the Internet.

The transmitted animation data may be stored in a hard disk drive (HDD) of a local computer, and preset animation data may be output according to a user's response.

However, in order to use 2D animation data, all animation data that can be reacted according to the user's reaction must be produced. Therefore, if a user wants to realize various and realistic animations, he transmits them to the user terminal using the internet network. And the large amount of animation data to be outputted causes a problem of the transmission time and the output burden on the local computer.

In addition, the method of generating and transmitting 3D animation data is one of the methods that have been widely used in recent years, and the 3D graphics engine operated by the server under the Internet is responsible for calculating the rendering and transmitting the data to the user's local computer. There are two ways to send the 3D animation data that needs to be done when needed and a method to execute the animation on the local computer like a 3D animation game.

However, in the method of generating and transmitting the 3D animation data, the server renders it using the graphic engine on the Internet, and it is difficult to describe a complex character, and the 3D animation data transmission is only possible when the local computer is connected to the Internet. Because of this, there is a problem in that a local computer limited by a transmission speed such as a modem has many constraints in implementing graphics.

In addition, in the case of an animation such as a three-dimensional game that runs on a local computer, due to the huge amount of data, it is possible to execute it only when the CPU is monopolized and cannot be used simultaneously with other applications.

The present invention is to solve the above problems of the prior art, the object of the present invention is to minimize the amount of animation data downloaded to the user, most of the other inbitwin frame except the frame containing the keyframe and the essential information It is deleted from the process of producing an animation, and is not pre-produced by using a vertex group corresponding to a main part that is deformable including the head, leg, tail, and the like of the animation character model in the keyframe information. By calculating the appearance of animations and characters, it is possible to produce animations near infinity, and also to minimize the download time.

Figure 2 is a flow chart illustrating the steps of producing a character that is a three-dimensional animation provided by the present invention.

As shown in FIG. 2, a step of designing a character model and an animation so as to grasp and image the logic that can be produced by the individual character model that is subdivided according to the fluid and the adult model (S100),

Modeling the designed character models by adjusting the density of polygons or non-splices with reference to the difference in shape according to the fluid model, the adult model, and the genetic information (S110);

After the modeling work, performing a bone setup for designing a bone that can be transferred to the bone between the fluid model and the adult model (S120),

After the bone setup process, the step of producing a texture map of the animated character model (S130),

After the process of producing the texture map, the first step of outputting each animation by planting the bone to the fluid model and the adult model (S140),

After the animation output process, after converting the coordinate information and the texture map position information consisting of the key frame from which most of the inbit win frame is removed and the minimum inbit win frame to ASCII files, Converting to the friends model file (S150),

After converting to the milens model file, producing a unit animation that is the basic motion is divided into the minimum image that can be implemented by the animation character (S160),

After the unit animation production process, and comprises a step (S170) of constructing the story of the animation by the generation of the combination data consisting of the combination of the unit animation and the group data consisting of the combination of the combination.

In the step S100, the model and animation design of the character is different from that of the conventionally implemented, for example, the video.

In other words, in the case of video, a specific event that dominates the entire video occurs at a specific point in time, and after a specific time, the event is terminated. It was designed as a scenario such as a structure, so that various movements could not be implemented according to the user's reaction. Also, the character model, which is represented by two models of fluid and an adult, is output as a model of a shape other than the two models. Could not implement

However, in the present invention, one of several possible actions is implemented according to the characteristics of the character and the current situation, or the user's reaction (for example, feeding or clicking by the user's mouse cursor), and also in a similar situation. The animation design of the graphic is designed to establish the logic and system by combining the available unit animations so that different motions can be realized every time. It is designed to establish the logic of reaction cases and output them to the user terminal.

Here, the specific condition refers to unit animations so that the response of the character is not the same even when the user clicks according to each part such as the head, tail, etc. of the character output on the desktop of the user terminal 13. Combination is designed to grasp the logic that can be produced by natural operation.

In addition, even in the case of the model design of the character, even if the character model is divided into two models, fluid and adult, each fluid and adult model may change depending on the dryness and fatness. In order to express the step-by-step changes in the process of growing into adulthood, the change of body ratio is designed to be appropriately contrasted with the change of time with the reality of the character model.

In the step S110, the graphic modeling of the character of the present invention is produced in the manner of a polygon, a horns, etc. using a three-dimensional graphics software production tool.

Here, by adjusting the density of the polygon or the non-spline by dividing the parts that need detailed description and the parts that are not to be animated in order to optimize the size of the character model divided into various types according to the fluid and adult, Modeling work takes place.

In the step S120, conventionally, when performing the animation work to give the movement of the animation character model, the bone is made to fit the model so as to be connected according to the structure and the moving range of the animation character model, the produced bone model Although a bone setup process is performed in connection with the present invention, in the present invention, in order to bone-up the animated character model which is divided into various types according to the fluid model and the adult model, the bone character setup is performed in various forms according to the fluid model. Among the animated character models that are divided, the two representative models, which are divided into the fluid model and the adult model, are grown again into the fluid model and the adult model, and the main body of the animated character model is set up in consideration of the growth by being divided into various shapes. Two representative models, divided into adult and adult models, replaced by all It performs the set-up is possible.

The bone setup performed in this way is performed by operation of data on a shape that changes as the character grows after the planting work.

In the step S130, a texture map to be written as a skin of the animation character model is prepared. The fabricated texture map is designed to match the vertex on the model with the positional information on the texture map so as to be produced according to the vertex of the model. In addition, when outputting animation data, an 8-bit 256 color single map is used in the environment of the user terminal 13 to implement a very realistic texture map.

In step S140, after the bones having the animation data are transferred to the fluid model and the adult model, after performing the binding process between the bone and the model, the fluid model and the adult model-specific animation are first output.

Here, the slightly twisted bone during the binding process is readjusted to an appropriate length. In addition, after performing the binding process, in order to minimize the amount of animation data, it is configured to delete most of the inbit win frame except for the frame containing the key frame and the essential information.

In the step S150, after converting the 3D animation information obtained when the primary animation character from which the inbit win frame is deleted is converted to an ASCII file, vertex and key frame information of the animation character model, position information of the texture map, etc. The minimum information necessary for the output of the present invention is separated and converted into a microlens model file.

In the step S160, in order to effectively reduce the size of the data while realizing the diversity of all the animation that can be represented by the character, the animation that can be implemented by the character is produced as a unit animation that is the basic divided by a minimum.

In the step S170, the unit animations are combined in a unit of at least one, as many as six units, and then combined according to the logic of the operation, and then the combinations are combined to make the movement of the character naturally realized. By arranging and outputting the group produced as described above according to the story of the animation, it is displayed on the background screen of the user terminal (13).

The 3D animation data generated as described above is displayed on the desktop of the user terminal 13 by an animation character that responds to the user's response realistically and variously based on the dramatically reduced data amount and the design of the animation based on unit animation. It is done.

3A to 3B illustrate vertices displayed as vertices of triangular strings, which are the minimum basic units, and face position information of a triangular surface composed of the vertices. A diagram illustrating a texture map.

As shown in FIG. 3A, the keyframe information includes a plurality of vertices 21 corresponding to coordinates of each point, which is information corresponding to a character's movement, and a surface forming a minimum area by the three vertices. Position information of face information 21 is included.

In addition, as shown in Fig. 3B, the individual texture maps to be inserted in the positional information indicating the face information 21 which is the surface forming the minimum area are shown.

In addition, in order to output an animation action not produced in advance in the keyframe information, for example, a main part that can be deformed, such as a head part, a leg part, a tail part, etc. A non-animated motion by including a vertex group grouping and displaying vertices of a specific part of the character so as to be moved by a calculation, and modifying coordinate values corresponding to the main parts of the vertex group. When the character is output on the background screen of the user terminal 13, it is possible to produce a character that is more realistic and variously operated, not a conventional flat character.

The animation data generated by performing the steps S100 to S160 is included in the character driving program information DB 5 operated by the manager server 7 so as to be downloaded through the internet network 9 when the user requests it. do.

4 is a flowchart illustrating a process in which a user downloads, installs, and executes a character driving program through an internet network.

As shown in Fig. 4, in order to download an animated character,

Accessing the Internet (S200);

Requesting an animation character required by the user (S210);

Transmitting the extracted character driving program information to a user terminal according to the animation character information requested by the user (S220);

Installing character driving program information transmitted to the user terminal (S230);

Execution of the installed character driving program (S240).

In the step S200, in order for the user to download the animation character, typically, by driving a web browser which is an application program that enables the user to view all the information of the World Wide Web provided in the user terminal 11 After accessing the Internet network 9, the present invention in the form of " http: //www.xxx.com/login" is provided in a URL (Uniform Resource Locator) input unit provided on a web browser driven by the user terminal 11. Enter the logical address of your website.

Here, http (Hyper Text Transfer Protocol) provided in the URL input unit is a communication protocol applied to transfer hypertext documents handled in the World Wide Web to another place, and the logical The login window request information is transmitted to the manager server 7 having the address. The manager server 7 receiving the login window request information transmits the login window information extracted from the web information DB 1 onto the web browser of the user terminal 11.

After inputting according to the input form on the user ID and password input unit provided in the login window (not shown) sent to the web browser of the user terminal 11, and transmitted to the administrator server 7 through the Internet network (9) Then, the manager server 7 matches the ID ALC password information and the member information DB (3) of the transmitted user, and if the same ID and password information exists, the main screen window information from the Web information DB (1) Extract it and send it to the web browser of the user terminal 11.

In this case, if not a member of the present invention is configured to register using a conventional method.

In the step S210, the main screen window (not shown) output on the web browser of the user terminal 11 is provided with a category animation character selection menu for selecting the animation character to be classified by type, the category animation character selection When the menu is clicked and the type animation character selection window request information is transmitted to the manager server 7 through the Internet network 9, the manager server 7 requests the web information DB 1 and the type animation character selection window request. By matching the information, the type of character selection window information is extracted and transmitted to the web browser of the user terminal 11 through the Internet network 9.

In the type animation character selection window (not shown) displayed on the web browser of the user terminal 11, the animation characters such as dinosaurs, bears, crocodiles, and dogs are classified by species, and each of the individual animation characters classified by the species A call menu is provided to call a window for selecting a plurality of animation characters belonging to a species, and a user selects a call menu provided in one species animation character to be selected by the user from among the category animation characters. When a plurality of animation character selection window request information belonging to a species is transmitted to the manager server 7 via the Internet network 9, the manager server 7 belongs to the web information DB 1 and the species selected by the transmitted user. Multiple animation character selection window Matching request information, multiple animation caches belonging to the species selected by the user Extracting the emitter window, select information to be transmitted on the web browser of the user terminal 11 via the Internet network (9).

In the animation character selection window (not shown) belonging to the species selected by the user, which is output on the web browser of the user terminal 11, for example, when the user selects a paper dinosaur, the plurality of dinosaurs are three-dimensional images. And a dinosaur selection menu for the user to select the plurality of dinosaurs, wherein the user clicks on any one dinosaur selection menu and sends the dinosaur selection request information through the Internet network (9). Transfer to the manager server (7).

In step S220, the manager server 7 matches the character driving program information DB 5 and the transmitted dinosaur selection request information, extracts the corresponding character driving program information, and extracts the corresponding character driving program information from the user terminal through the Internet network (9). 11) to transmit.

In the step S230, the character drive program transmitted to the user terminal 11 is stored in a predetermined hard disk drive (HDD) designated by the user.

The character drive program stored in the predetermined HDD of the user terminal 11 is provided with an installation file, and the character drive program is installed in the predetermined HDD of the user terminal 11 by executing the installation file.

The character drive program 13 installed in a predetermined HDD of the user terminal 11 is A menu control module for receiving and controlling user's request information to communicate with the animation character and the user and communicating with the member information DB through the Internet;

By using the genetic information and vertex of the different appearance of the individual animation characters downloaded to the user, it is controlled to grow into the adult model of the unique animation character, so that each user generates different types of animation characters, By applying the morphing technique using vertices by the exponent, it transforms to the character's fatness and dryness, and outputs it. Also, the vertex group composed of the deformable body parts of the animated character model stored in the My Friends model file is output. 3D graphic calculation module that transforms each part of the body in real time and directs motions that are not produced beforehand by operation by reducing the amount of data and adding life to various animations,

The texture map constituting the skin of the character is calculated as an exponent according to the shape change according to the growth of the individual animation characters, the emotion of the character, and the presence of disease, and the texture map position information and the texture graphic information are modified to output various texture changes. A texture map calculation module,

The uniqueness of an animation character's personality is calculated as an index based on food supply index information and parenting time index information to provide information to the 3D graphic calculation module, texture map calculation module, and menu control module that control the aspect change of the animation character. Character emotion index operation module for controlling,

The 3D graphic calculation module, the texture map calculation module, and the animation character output module produced by the character emotion index calculation module are composed of an output animation character output module.

The 3D graphics calculation module is a module for calculating the form and growth of animation among DG ² I (Digital Genetic Growth Implementation) technology that implements a growth model that mimics the process of growing an ecosystem after the first download of an animation character. When growing an animated character of a fluid model, even if the user has downloaded the same adult model animated character, each animated character has unique genetic information. Even if users download the same animation character by the genetic information, it is possible to grow into a unique animation character.

That is, the process of transforming each part of the body of the adult model according to the genetic information and growing it against the fluid model is appropriately grown by changing the vertex of the model using a morphing technique, and the uniquely grown animation The character is configured to be output. In addition, by modifying the exponent indicating the fatness and dryness of the animation character displayed to the user by the interaction between the user and the animation character, for example, the number and pattern of food supply, and calculates the modified index to the morphing technique By changing the vertices by application, the appearance of the animation character that the user raises continuously is configured to change.

In addition, the 3D graphics calculation module deforms each part of the body in real time using the vertex group of the My Friend model file stored in the user's HDD to output an animation not produced in advance. In other words, by calculating a vertex group that corresponds to a specific part of the body, it is possible to produce an animation that has not been produced beforehand such as the effect of moving the head and shaking the tail while walking. This allows various animations to be output even if the user downloads a small amount of animation data.

In addition, the texture map calculation module downloads and stores two texture maps of the fluid model and the adult model in the HDD of the user terminal 11, but modifies the pattern of the fluid map and the texture map of the adult model. The growth rate is changed according to the presence or absence and the exponent indicating the emotion of the character, thereby gradually changing the vertex and graphic information of the texture map to have various appearance textures for each user.

In addition, by using the 3D graphic calculation module and the texture map calculation module, the size and color of the animated character that is the adult model is not the same, it is possible to provide a wider variety of animation characters to the user than the conventional animation character uniform. .

To this end, since the character driving program 13 installed in the user terminal 11 is first executed, the fluid model of the animation character is a position including velocity information of the deformed vertex and the deformed texture map of the animation character once a day. By using the information and the genetic information of the appearance, it grows into an animation character of appropriate size and shape by morphing between the fluid model and the adult model.

Here, in conjunction with the character emotion index calculation module, among the information included in the character emotion index calculation module, by substituting the index of food supply index information and parenting time index information, when the character is growing, the aspect is modified by the morphing technique. It is considered during the process.

In addition, the sound information of the animation character stored in the character drive program 13 is also configured to output different sound information between the fluid model and the adult model is configured to maximize the reality.

In the character emotion index calculation module, the user executes the character drive program 13 to form a unique personality for each animated character so that predetermined information is reflected in the aspect change when the fluid model is grown into an adult model. After activating the character, the parenting time index for indicating the degree of care taken until the end of the character drive program 13, the food supply index for displaying the number of times to supply food supply to the animated character, Click index that indicates the number of clicks on the body part of the animated character using the mouse cursor and the number of visits to the website of the present invention, and the disease index that displays information about the disease of the animated character depending on whether or not the user supplies food. Include.

The parenting time index, the food supply index, the click index, and the disease index may be provided to the 3D graphic calculation module so that the deformation of the aspect of the animation character and the movement of the instantaneous character change when growing from the fluid model to the adult model It is constructed.

In addition, since the individual animation characters can be distinguished from the female and the male, the next generation of the animated character generated after the breeding of the male and female characters is configured to generate a unique personality and appearance inherited from the parent.

In the step S240, the character drive program 13 is executed, the process of raising the animated character in the embodiment described as follows.

First, when the user clicks on the character drive program execution menu displayed as an icon on the desktop of the user terminal 11, the animated character is output as a three-dimensional image by the character drive program 13, A character nursery call menu for calling a character nursery window provided by the character driving program 13 is generated on a task bar of the user terminal 11.

Here, when the character nursery call menu is clicked, the character nursery (not shown) stored in the character driving program 13 is output on the background screen of the user terminal 11, and the character nursery feeds menu of the animated character. E-commerce window moving menu, advertisement placement.

Here, when the food supply menu provided in the character rearing window is clicked, the menu control module provided in the character driving program 13 receives the food supply request information, and information suitable for the received food supply request information (here, it is related to food Animation character request information) is transmitted to the character emotion index calculation module, and the transmitted information performs a calculation process to adjust the emotion index of the character and at the same time produce the output of food on the desktop.

The 3D graphic file calculation module transmits animation character information in which a texture map is inserted into a vertex of another dinosaur character, which is prey information, to a character animation output module, and in the character animation output module, a rectangular window of the transmitted animation character information.
