具体实施方式
为使本申请的目的、技术方案和优点更加清楚，下面将结合附图对本申请实施方式作进一步地详细描述。
在本文中提及的“多个”是指两个或两个以上。“和/或”，描述关联对象的关联关系，表示可以存在三种关系，例如，A和/或B，可以表示：单独存在A，同时存在A和B，单独存在B这三种情况。字符“/”一般表示前后关联对象是一种“或”的关系。
首先，对本申请实施例中涉及的名词进行介绍：
虚拟宠物：是以卡通形象/或动物形式的宠物形象进行呈现的数字宠物。该虚拟宠物是二维数字宠物或三维数字宠物，比如，虚拟宠物是以猫的形象呈现的三维虚拟宠物。可选地，存在一部分虚拟宠物的宠物形象是随机生成的，可选地，存在一部分虚拟宠物的宠物形象是根据父母亲虚拟宠物和/或其他祖辈虚拟宠物的宠物形象按照基因遗传规则生成的，本申请实施例对比不作限定。
在一些实施例中，虚拟宠物是终端运行的应用程序所展示的数字宠物。该应用程序包括如下功能中的至少一项：抓取虚拟宠物、生成虚拟宠物、繁育虚拟宠物、交易虚拟宠物、使用虚拟宠物进行战斗、使用虚拟宠物进行增强现实(AugmentedReality，AR)互动，使用虚拟宠物进行社交，使用虚拟宠物进行AR教育。在另一些实施例中，该应用程序是基于区块链系统进行虚拟宠物的获取、繁育和/交易的应用程序。在另一些实施例中，该应用程序是基于地理位置的社交游戏程序，该社交游戏程序提供有利用虚拟宠物进行收藏、成长和/或战斗中的至少一种功能。
外观特征：外观特征是指体现虚拟宠物的宠物形象的特征。可选地，虚拟宠物的外观特征包括毛发、斑纹、眼睛、鼻子、嘴巴、胡须以及耳朵等不同身体部位，每一个身体部位均可以有很多种不同的外观特征。上述外观特征也可以包括颜色、形状、纹理等可见特征。例如，毛发的外观特征可以是白色、灰色、黑色、黄色、橙色等；斑纹的外观特征可以是点状、块状、片状、斑状、条状等；耳朵的外观特征可以是长耳、短耳、卷耳、折耳、正常耳等不同形状。另外有些外观特征的大小、高低以及位置也能进行调整以呈现不同的外观特征，例如鼻子的大小、高低可以进行调整、嘴巴的高低、嘴瓣的开合也可以进行调整、耳朵的大小也可以进行调整等，本申请实施例对此不作限定。
贴图：是指附着于虚拟宠物模型表面，用于形成虚拟宠物外观特征的图层。不同的贴图表征不同的外观特征，多个贴图按照层级顺序叠加后应用于虚拟宠物模型可生成外观特征不同的虚拟宠物。在本申请实施例中，贴图可以是基础贴图，也可以是蒙版贴图。基础贴图是指层级最低的贴图，蒙版贴图是层级高于基础贴图的贴图，可以用来隐藏或者显示比其层级低的图层中的内容。示例性的，如图1所示，基础贴图10与蒙版贴图11按照层级顺序叠加后应用于虚拟宠物模型生成虚拟宠物猫12。
蒙版贴图：用于对层叠过程中，对下层贴图(可以为基础贴图，也可以是蒙版贴图)的部分区域进行遮罩的贴图，包括遮罩区域和非遮罩区域。其中，蒙版贴图叠加在其他贴图上层后，其他贴图中与该蒙版贴图中遮罩区域对应的区域被遮挡，而与蒙版贴图中非遮罩区域对应的区域则未被遮挡，能够透过蒙版贴图被观察到。
示例性的，如图1所示，蒙版贴图11包括遮罩区域112和非遮罩区域111。基础贴图10与蒙版贴图11叠加时，蒙版贴图11的层级高于基础贴图10，因此基础贴图10中遮罩区域112对应的内容被遮挡，非遮罩区域111对应的内容未被遮挡，可以透过蒙版贴图11被观察到，从而最终呈现出虚拟宠物猫12的外观特征。
相关技术中，虚拟宠物的不同外观特征对应不同的贴图，一张贴图中包括多种外观特征，例如底色、花纹色以及手套色等。因此开发人员需要预先绘制多张具有不同外观特征的贴图以供选择。由此可知，制作虚拟宠物的美术资源量与虚拟宠物的外观自由度成一比一的定量关系。但是虚拟宠物贴图的制作需要耗费大量时间，另外由于虚拟宠物的外观特征与相应的贴图一一对应，因此虚拟宠物的外观相似度较高。
相关技术中，在涉及虚拟宠物的应用程序(Application，App)中，用户所持有的虚拟宠物往往从应用程序中已有的多个模型中选择其中一个，或者可以对虚拟宠物的个别外观特征进行修改，原因在于虚拟宠物的模型制作方式为整体替换模型或者贴图，即一张贴图中包括了虚拟宠物的多种外观特征。因此每增加一种虚拟宠物的外观特征，需要制作一张贴图。例如在应用程序中需呈现20种外观特征不同的虚拟宠物，需要制作20张贴图与之相对应，与此同时，用户也只能在这20种虚拟宠物中进行选择。也就是说，游戏中虚拟宠物外观定制的自由度和美术资源量即贴图呈1比1的定量关系，用户可选择的虚拟宠物的外观特征被限制。
在本申请实施例中，目标贴图由一层贴图和至少一层蒙版贴图叠加而成，通过贴图控制外观特征、通过不同的蒙版贴图调整贴图控制的外观特征以外的其他外观特征，从而实现虚拟宠物外观的多样化。另外，不同层级的目标蒙版贴图代表虚拟宠物不同的外观特征，用户可以通过对目标蒙版贴图的编辑操作，实现对虚拟宠物外观特征的个性化定制，因此并不需要每增加一种虚拟宠物的外观特征，制作一张贴图。在本申请实施例中，多个目标蒙版贴图能够与一张贴图进行叠加，通过改变目标蒙版贴图改变虚拟宠物的外观特征，一方面减少美术资源量，节约制作贴图的时间和成本，同时丰富了虚拟宠物的外观特征。
示例性的，请参考图2，以虚拟宠物为猫为例。若应用程序中需要呈现白猫201、黑白猫202以及黑白花猫203，相关技术中需要分别制作白猫贴图204、黑白猫贴图205以及黑白花猫贴图206。如果还需要呈现其他外观特征的猫，例如橘猫，仍需要制作一张对应的橘猫贴图。而在本申请实施例中，通过贴图207、第一目标蒙版贴图208以及第二目标蒙版贴图209的组合叠加即可呈现白猫201、黑白猫202以及黑白花猫203。比如，白猫201由贴图207生成，黑白猫202由贴图207以及第一目标蒙版贴图208叠加而成，黑白花猫203由贴图207、第一目标蒙版贴图208以及第二目标蒙版贴图209叠加而成。相比于相关技术，并不需要针对每一种猫的外观特征制作一张对应的贴图，通过贴图207、第一目标蒙版贴图208以及第二目标蒙版贴图209叠加即可实现多种不同的猫的外观特征。
其中，贴图207可以为基础贴图，也即是层级最低的贴图，该贴图207表征的外观特征是任意虚拟宠物猫共有的外观特征，因此该贴图207能够用于制作任意虚拟宠物猫。第一目标蒙版贴图208所表征的外观特征与第二目标蒙版贴图所表征的外观特征不同。例如，贴图207所表征的外观特征为白色毛发，第一目标蒙版贴图208所表征的外观特征为黑色毛发，第二目标蒙版贴图209所表征的外观特征为花色毛发，白猫201仅具有贴图207所表征的外观特征，不具有第一目标蒙版贴图208和第二目标蒙版贴图208所表征的外观特征，因此白猫201仅由贴图207生成。黑白猫202具有贴图207和第一目标蒙版贴图208所表征的外观特征，因此黑白猫202由贴图207以及第一目标蒙版贴图208叠加而成。黑白花猫203具有贴图207、第一目标蒙版贴图208以及第二目标蒙版贴图209所表征的外观特征，因此黑白花猫203由贴图207、第一目标蒙版贴图208以及第二目标蒙版贴图209叠加而成。
另外，采用本申请实施例中提供的虚拟宠物的外观编辑方法生成的虚拟宠物可应用于不同的应用程序中，该应用程序支持对虚拟宠物的编辑操作。可选地，应用程序可以是游戏类应用程序、社交类应用程序等，本申请实施例对此不作限定。下面以游戏类应用程序为例，对本申请实施例的实施环境予以说明。请参考图3，其示出了本申请一个实施例提供的实施 环境的示意图。该实施环境可以包括：终端310、服务器320。

终端310通过无线网络或有线网络与服务器320相连。
服务器320包括一台服务器、多台服务器组成的服务器集群、云计算平台和虚拟化中心中的至少一种。服务器320用于为支持虚拟宠物编辑的应用程序提供后台服务。可选地，服务器320承担主要计算工作，终端310承担次要计算工作；或者，服务器320承担次要计算工作，终端310承担主要计算工作；或者，服务器320和终端310之间采用分布式计算架构进行协同计算。
在一个示意性的例子中，服务器320包括存储器321、处理器322、用户账号数据库323、素材服务模块324、面向用户的输入/输出接口(Input/Output Interface，I/O接口)325。其中，处理器322用于加载服务器320中存储的指令，处理用户账号数据库323和素材服务模块324中的数据；用户账号数据库323用于存储终端310的用户账号的数据，比如用户账号的头像、用户账号的昵称、用户账号的等级，用户账号所在的服务区；素材服务模块324用于提供不同种类的虚拟宠物的贴图以及模型，以支持对虚拟宠物的编辑；面向用户的I/O接口325用于通过无线网络或有线网络和终端310建立通信交换数据。另外需要说明的是，下述各个实施例中，虚拟宠物的外观编辑可以由终端独立完成、由服务器独立完成或者由终端和服务器配合完成，本申请实施例对此不作限定。为了方便表述，下述实施例均以终端完成虚拟宠物的外观编辑为例进行说明。
请参考图4，其示出了本申请一个示例性实施例提供的虚拟宠物的外观编辑方法的流程图。本申请实施例以该方法用于图3所示实施环境中的终端310为例进行说明，该方法包括如下步骤：
步骤410，终端获取虚拟宠物的贴图，贴图表征虚拟宠物的外观特征。
在一种可能的实施方式中，当用户触发安装在终端上的应用程序，终端显示虚拟宠物的外观编辑界面，并获取虚拟宠物的贴图。可选地，该贴图为基础贴图，基础贴图是指层级最低的贴图，其他贴图(例如蒙版贴图)可以叠加在基础贴图之上，基础贴图不能叠加在其他贴图之上。基础贴图表征的外观特征为基础外观特征，基础外观特征是指同一类型的虚拟宠物共有的外观特征，例如基础外观特征为虚拟宠物的毛发底色等。
在一种可能的实施方式中，虚拟宠物的外观特征包括体型特征、五官特征以及毛发特征。可选地，体型特征是虚拟宠物的身体胖瘦、头部大小、脸颊宽窄、爪子大小、尾巴粗细及长短等，本申请实施例对此不作限定。可选地，五官特征是虚拟宠物的耳朵、眼睛、鼻嘴的大小、形状等，本申请实施例对此不作限定。可选地，毛发特征是毛发底色以及毛发底色的色块等，本申请实施例对此不作限定。
可选地，虚拟宠物的贴图用来表示虚拟宠物的毛发底色，毛发底色是指虚拟宠物的基础毛色，基础毛色是指同一类型的虚拟宠物的毛发中普遍性最高的毛色，是虚拟宠物的全身毛发的主要颜色。可选地，该基础毛色是同一类型的虚拟宠物共有的毛色。
可选地，不同类型的虚拟宠物的毛发底色可能相同也可能不同。
在一种可能的实施方式中，为了使得虚拟宠物的外观特征更接近自然界的动物，因此虚 拟宠物的毛发底色的类型可以是根据自然界中相对应的动物的毛发性状总结得出的。例如，通过对纯色猫、蓝猫、橘猫、豹猫、狸花、起司、加菲等15种不同品种的猫的毛发形状进行分析可知，猫的毛色主要是白色、灰色、黑色、黄色。具体请参考表一，其中列出了纯色猫的毛发形状。因此虚拟宠物猫的贴图可以是白色、灰色、黄色、黑色四种类型。
在一种可能的实施方式中，由于贴图的颜色种类是根据自然界中相应的动物的毛发性状总结得出的，因此贴图的颜色种类是固定的，也就是说贴图的色相是固定不变的，用户可以通过调整贴图的亮度和饱和度实现不同种类的贴图。例如虚拟宠物猫的贴图为白色、灰色、黄色、黑色四种类型，用户通过调整贴图的亮度和饱和度，从而获得乳白色、巧克力色、浅黄色、黑褐色等不同类型的贴图，进而丰富虚拟宠物的外观特征。
步骤420，终端响应于对目标外观特征的编辑操作，生成编辑后目标外观特征对应的目标蒙版贴图，目标外观特征为贴图表征的外观特征以外的外观特征。
在本申请实施例中，目标外观特征为虚拟宠物的附加特征，是贴图表征的外观特征以外的其他外观特征。可选地，贴图表征的外观特征是虚拟宠物的基础外观特征，目标外观特征是基础外观特征以外的外观特征。例如，贴图表征的外观特征为虚拟宠物的毛发底色，则目标外观特征是虚拟宠物异于毛发底色的部分。
可选地，目标外观特征是虚拟宠物毛发底色的重点色块，或者是花纹色块、手套色色块等，本申请实施例对此不作限定。
可选地，目标外观特征分布在虚拟宠物的脸、背、胸、腿、尾巴、四肢等区域，本申请实施例对此不作限定。
可选地，不同的虚拟宠物的目标外观特征可能相同也可能不同。
在一种可能的实施方式中，为了使得虚拟宠物的外观特征更接近自然界的动物，因此虚拟宠物的目标外观特征可以是根据自然界中相对应的动物的毛发性状总结得出的。例如，通过对纯色猫、蓝猫、橘猫、豹猫、狸花、起司、加菲等15种不同品种的猫的毛发形状进行分析得出猫的目标外观特征，具体请参考表一，其中列出了纯色猫的毛发形状。由表一可知，猫的目标外观特征可以是重点色以及花纹色。重点色主要分布在猫的脸、耳朵、身体、胸以及尾巴，重点色的形状可以是圆点或者片状。花纹色主要分布在猫的身体或者脸，花纹色的形状可以是鱼骨纹、古典斑、点斑、细纹斑等。由此可知，虚拟宠物猫的目标外观特征可以是毛发底色的重点色块，例如原点、片状等，重点色块可以分布在虚拟宠物猫的脸、身体、耳朵、尾巴等部位，目标外观特征也可以是毛发底色的花纹色块，例如鱼骨纹、点斑等，花纹色块可以分布在虚拟宠物猫的脸部、背部、胸部等部位，目标外观特征也可以是毛发底色的手套色块，例如高手套、低手套，手套色块主要分布在虚拟宠物猫的四肢。

在一种可能的实施方式中，用户在虚拟宠物的外观编辑界面对目标外观特征进行编辑操作，终端生成编辑后的目标外观特征对应的目标蒙版贴图。
对目标外观特征的编辑操作是指用户在虚拟宠物的外观编辑界面通过编辑控件进行操作，调整目标外观特征的种类、颜色、形状、大小等。
可选地，编辑控件是按钮控件、滑块控件或调色盘控件等，本申请实施例对此不作限定。
示例性的，如图5所示，在虚拟宠物编辑界面506中，通过按钮控件501可选择目标外观特征的种类，通过调色盘控件502可选择目标外观特征的颜色，通过颜色滑块控件503可调整目标外观特征颜色的亮度以及饱和度，通过色块滑块控件504可调整目标外观特征的大小，通过边缘渐变滑块控件505可调整目标外观特征的渐变效果。
在本申请实施例中，目标蒙版贴图表征虚拟宠物的目标外观特征。
可选地，目标蒙版贴图是遮罩(MASK)贴图、蒙版贴图等，本申请实施例对此不作限定。
可选地，目标蒙版贴图的数量是一张或者多张，本申请实施例对此不作限定。
步骤430，终端对贴图和至少一层目标蒙版贴图进行叠加，得到目标贴图，其中，不同层级的目标蒙版贴图对应不同的目标外观特征。
在本申请实施例中，将一层目标贴图分成多层，即目标贴图由贴图和至少一层目标蒙版贴图叠加而成。由于不同层级的目标蒙版贴图对应不同类型的目标外观特征，用户可以根据自己的喜好选择不同的目标蒙版贴图与贴图进行叠加，形成不同的目标贴图，进而形成外观特征不同的虚拟宠物。
可选地，在目标蒙版贴图有多层的情况下，则多层目标蒙版贴图之间存在层级，也就是说不同的目标蒙版贴图叠加时存在先后的顺序。可选地，层级低的目标蒙版贴图先叠加，层级高的目标蒙版贴图后叠加。或者，层级高的目标蒙版贴图先叠加，层级低的目标蒙版贴图后叠加。
可选地，多个目标蒙版贴图能够与一张贴图进行叠加，不同层级的目标蒙版贴图对应不同的目标外观特征，同一层级的目标蒙版贴图对应相同的目标外观特征。对于同一目标外观特征可能存在不同的种类，因而对应不同的目标蒙版贴图。例如目标外观特征为花纹色，花纹色的形状可以是鱼骨纹、古典斑、点斑或细纹斑等，则不同形状的花纹色对应不同的目标蒙版贴图。
可选地，用户可以对不同层级的目标蒙版贴图分别进行相应的编辑操作，不同层级的目标蒙版贴图之间互不影响。
示例性的，如图6所示，以虚拟宠物猫为例，通过贴图601、第一目标蒙版贴图602、第二目标蒙版贴图603以及第三目标蒙版贴图604叠加，得到目标贴图(未示出)。其中，贴图601表征的外观特征为毛发底色，第一目标蒙版贴图602表征的外观特征为重点色块，第二目标蒙版贴图603表征的外观特征为花纹色块，第三目标蒙版贴图604表征的外观特征为手套色块。
步骤440，终端将目标贴图应用于虚拟宠物的三维模型。
将不同的目标贴图应用于虚拟宠物的三维模型，即可得到外观特征不同的虚拟宠物。
示例性的，如图6所示，终端将贴图601、第一目标蒙版贴图602、第二目标蒙版贴图603、以及第三目标蒙版贴图604叠加形成的目标贴图应用于虚拟宠物猫605的三维模型。
综上所述，在本申请实施例中，贴图表征虚拟宠物的外观特征，目标蒙版贴图表征目标外观特征，目标外观特征为贴图表征的外观特征以外的外观特征，通过贴图和不同层级的目标蒙版贴图的叠加，生成不同的目标贴图用于虚拟宠物的模型，进而生成外观特征不同的虚拟宠物。由于目标贴图由贴图和不同层级的目标蒙版贴图叠加而成，因此调整目标蒙版贴图即可生成不同的目标贴图，一方面避免每增加一种虚拟宠物，制作一张与之相匹配的贴图，另一方面通过有限的美术资源量可生成多种外观特征不同的虚拟宠物，提高虚拟宠物外观编 辑的自由度，丰富虚拟宠物的外观特征。
在本申请实施例中，通过编辑操作，调整蒙版贴图的蒙版颜色、遮罩范围、渐变范围以及遮罩位置，从而实现不同种类的目标蒙版贴图，进而丰富了虚拟宠物的外观特征。另外，由于目标蒙版贴图与贴图的尺寸大小不一致，因此在得到目标贴图之前，需要对目标蒙版贴图的大小进行调整，以适配贴图。请参考图7，其示出了本申请另一个示例性实施例提供的虚拟宠物的外观编辑方法的流程图。
步骤710，终端获取虚拟宠物的贴图，贴图表征虚拟宠物的外观特征。
步骤710同步骤410，本申请实施例对此不作限定。
步骤720，终端响应于对目标外观特征的编辑操作，获取目标外观特征对应的蒙版贴图。
当用户在虚拟宠物的外观编辑界面对目标外观特征进行编辑操作时，终端获取目标外观特征对应的蒙版贴图。蒙版贴图是指当前目标外观特征对应的蒙版贴图。
在一种可能的实施方式中，当终端首次显示虚拟宠物的外观编辑界面，用户首次在外观编辑界面编辑目标外观特征，终端获取还未编辑的目标外观特征对应的蒙版贴图。
在另一种可能的实施方式中，当用户已完成对目标外观特征的编辑操作，中途退出应用程序，终端会自动保存退出应用程序前目标外观特征的编辑状态以及对应的蒙版贴图。当终端再次进入应用程序，用户基于上次退出游戏时的目标外观特征继续进行编辑操作，终端获取上次退出游戏前编辑的目标外观特征对应的蒙版贴图。
步骤730，终端基于编辑操作调整蒙版贴图，得到目标蒙版贴图，其中，蒙版贴图的调整方式包括调整蒙版颜色、调整遮罩范围、调整渐变范围或调整遮罩位置中的至少一种。
在本申请实施例中，蒙版贴图包括遮罩区域和非遮罩区域，在蒙版贴图的下层贴图中，该遮罩区域下方的贴图内容被遮挡，非遮罩区域下方的贴图内容未被遮挡，即可以透过目标蒙版贴图被观察到。可选地，遮罩区域为不透明的区域，非遮罩区域为透明的区域。
在一种可能的实施方式中，终端通过调整蒙版贴图的遮罩区域的颜色得到目标蒙版贴图。用户在虚拟宠物的外观编辑界面通过编辑控件选择颜色，调整目标外观特征的颜色，终端基于该编辑操作，调整蒙版贴图的颜色，从而得到目标蒙版贴图。
可选地，终端确定用户通过调色盘控件选择的色相，也就是颜色的类别，例如红色、白色、橘色等，进而调整蒙版贴图的颜色，得到目标蒙版贴图。
可选地，终端确定用户通过滑块控件调整的颜色的亮度以及饱和度，也就是颜色的深浅，例如，正红色、深红色、浅红色等，进而调整蒙版贴图的颜色，得到目标蒙版贴图。
示例性的，如图5所示，以目标外观特征为手套色色块为例，用户通过调色盘控件502选择手套色色块的色相，通过颜色滑块控件503选择手套色色块的饱和度以及亮度，终端基于该编辑操作，调整蒙版贴图，进而得到目标蒙版贴图。
在一种可能的实施方式中，终端通过调整蒙版贴图的遮罩区域的范围得到目标蒙版贴图。用户在虚拟宠物的外观编辑界面通过编辑控件调整目标外观特征的大小，终端基于该编辑操作，调整蒙版贴图的遮罩范围，从而得到目标蒙版贴图。
示例性，如图5所示，以目标外观特征为手套色色块为例，用户通过色块滑块控件504调整手套色色块的大小，终端基于该编辑操作，调整蒙版贴图，进而得到目标蒙版贴图。
在一种可能的实施方式中，终端通过调整蒙版贴图的遮罩区域的渐变范围得到目标蒙版贴图。用户在虚拟宠物的外观编辑界面通过编辑控件调整目标外观特征的边缘渐变，终端基于该编辑操作，调整蒙版贴图的渐变范围，从而得到目标蒙版贴图。
示例性的，如图5所示，以目标外观特征为手套色色块为例，用户通过边缘渐变滑块控件505调整手套色色块的边缘渐变效果，终端基于该编辑操作，调整蒙版贴图，进而得到目标蒙版贴图。
在一种可能的实施方式中，终端通过调整蒙版贴图的遮罩区域的位置得到目标蒙版贴图。用户在虚拟宠物的外观编辑界面通过编辑控件调整目标外观特征的位置，终端基于该编辑操 作，调整蒙版贴图的遮罩位置，从而得到目标蒙版贴图。
步骤740，在目标蒙版贴图与贴图的尺寸不同的情况下，终端基于贴图的尺寸对目标蒙版贴图进行缩放，其中，缩放后目标蒙版贴图的尺寸与贴图的尺寸匹配。
可选地，目标蒙版贴图的尺寸与贴图的尺寸匹配是指目标蒙版贴图的尺寸与贴图的尺寸相同。可选地，目标蒙版贴图的尺寸与贴图的尺寸匹配是指目标蒙版贴图的尺寸与贴图中需要叠加的区域的尺寸相同。
在一种可能的实施方式中，目标蒙版贴图的尺寸与贴图的尺寸相同，贴图与目标蒙版贴图叠加之前，不需要调整目标蒙版贴图的尺寸。
在另一种可能的实施方式中，目标蒙版贴图的尺寸与贴图的尺寸不同，贴图与目标蒙版贴图叠加之前，终端自动调整目标蒙版贴图的尺寸大小以适配贴图。
步骤750，终端基于各层目标蒙版贴图的贴图层级，在贴图上叠加至少一层目标蒙版贴图，得到目标贴图。
在一种可能的实施方式中，各层目标蒙版贴图之间具有贴图层级关系，也就是说各层目标蒙版贴图之间需按照一定的顺序叠加。贴图的层级顺序固定不变，其他各层目标蒙版贴图在贴图上依次按照顺序叠加，从而形成目标贴图。
在一种可能的实施方式中，目标蒙版贴图是重点色蒙版贴图、花纹色蒙版贴图或者手套色蒙版贴图等，本申请实施例对此不作限定。
其中重点色蒙版贴图是指不同于虚拟宠物毛发底色的重点色块。
可选地，该色块种类是点状、块状或片状等，本申请实施例对此不作限定。
示例性的，如图8所示，其中示出了不同种类的重点色蒙版贴图801与贴图叠加形成目标贴图(未示出)，并将目标贴图应用于虚拟宠物猫802呈现的效果。
其中花纹色蒙版贴图是指不同于虚拟宠物毛发底色的花纹色块。
可选地，该花纹色块种类是斑状、纹状或条状等，本申请实施例对此不作限定。
示例性的，如图9所示，其中示出了不同种类的花纹色蒙版贴图901与贴图叠加形成目标贴图(未示出)，并将目标贴图应用于虚拟宠物猫902呈现的效果。
其中手套色蒙版贴图是指毛发底色上的足部色块或手部色块。
可选地，该色块的种类是块状、点状或片状等，本申请实施例对此不作限定。
示例性的，如图10所示，其中示出了不同种类的手套色蒙版贴图1001与贴图叠加形成目标贴图(未示出)，并将目标贴图应用于虚拟宠物猫1002呈现的效果。
在一种可能的方式中，由于各个目标蒙版贴图存在层级关系，所以手套色蒙版贴图的贴图层级高于花纹色蒙版贴图的贴图层级，花纹色蒙版贴图层级高于重点色蒙版贴图的贴图层级。
示例性的，如图11所示，其中贴图1101、重点色蒙版贴图1102、花纹色蒙版贴图1103以及手套色蒙版贴图1104叠加形成目标贴图，将目标贴图应用于虚拟宠物猫1105。前述贴图的层级关系为，第一层为贴图1101、第二层为重点色蒙版贴图1102、第三层为花纹色蒙版贴图1103、第四层为手套色蒙版贴图1104。此处重点在于举例描述重点色蒙版贴图1102、花纹色蒙版贴图1103以及手套色蒙版贴图1104的层级关系，因此图中并未示出图层的内容。
另外，在本申请实施例，通过不同种类的贴图以及不同层级的不同种类的目标蒙版贴图的排列组合，通过有限的美术资源量生成多种外观特征不同的虚拟宠物，提高虚拟宠物外观编辑的自由度。
在一种可能的实施方式中，每层目标蒙版贴图的种类相同，例如贴图有m种，目标蒙版贴图为i层，不同层级的目标蒙版贴图数量为M 1至M i，生成目标贴图的数量N为：
N＝m+(m×M 1+m×M 2……+m×Mi)+(m×M 1×M 2+m×M 1×M 3……+m×M 1×M i)+……m×M 1×M 2×……×M i。
也就是说，可以呈现N种外观特征不同的虚拟宠物。其中，m、i、M1至Mi以及N均为正整数。
示例性的，贴图有4种类型，目标蒙版贴图分别为重点色蒙版贴图，有6种类型；花纹色蒙版贴图，有6种类型；手套色蒙版贴图，有2种类型。将上述4种贴图以及14种目标蒙版贴图排列组合叠加，能够得到的目标贴图的个数为：4+4×6+4×6+4×2+4×6×2+4×6×2+4×6×6+4×6×6×2＝588，也就是说可以呈现588种外观特征不同的虚拟宠物。相关技术中，若需要呈现588种外观特征不同的虚拟宠物，需要制作588种与之相比配的贴图，而在本申请实施例中，通过4种贴图以及14种目标蒙版贴图即可实现，减少了美术资源量的同时丰富了虚拟宠物的外观特征。
步骤760，终端将目标贴图应用于虚拟宠物的三维模型。
步骤760同步骤440，本申请实施例对此不进行赘述。
在本申请实施例中，通过调整蒙版贴图的蒙版颜色、遮罩范围、渐变范围以及遮罩位置，实现不同种类的目标蒙版贴图，进而丰富虚拟宠物的外观特征，通过有限的美术资源量生成多种外观特征不同的虚拟宠物，提高虚拟宠物外观编辑的自由度，另外，通过调整目标贴图的尺寸以适配贴图，以便得到与虚拟宠物三维模型相适配的目标贴图。
在本申请实施例中，蒙版贴图分为遮罩区域和非遮罩区域，遮罩区域的形态与虚拟宠物的目标外观特征的形态相对应。在一种可能的实施方式中，通过对遮罩区域进行染色得到目标蒙版贴图。请参考图12，其中示出了本申请一个示例性实施例提供的调整蒙版颜色的方法流程图。
步骤1201，终端基于编辑操作确定蒙版贴图的目标蒙版颜色。
用户在虚拟宠物的外观编辑界面通过编辑控件选择颜色，终端基于用户选择的颜色，确定目标蒙版颜色。
可选地，编辑操作是用户通过调色盘控件选择目标蒙版的色相，就是颜色的类别，例如黑色、白色、黄色等，本申请实施例对此不作限定。
可选地，编辑操作是用户通过滑块控件调整目标蒙版颜色的亮度以及饱和度，也就是颜色的深浅。例如正红色、深红色、浅红色等，本申请实施例对此不作限定。
示例性的，请参考图5，以目标外观特征为手套色色块为例，用户通过调色盘控件502选择目标蒙版颜色的色相为黄色，通过调整颜色滑块控件503调整饱和度和亮度，将颜色调整为橘黄色，终端确定目标蒙版颜色为橘黄色。
步骤1202，终端基于目标蒙版颜色对蒙版贴图中的遮罩区域进行染色，得到目标蒙版贴图。
终端基于确定的目标蒙版颜色对蒙版贴图中遮罩区域染色，得到目标蒙版贴图。
示例性的，图5中终端基于用户对目标外观特征的编辑操作，确定目标蒙版颜色为橘黄色，终端对蒙版贴图的遮罩区域染成橘黄色，进而得到目标蒙版贴图，此时在虚拟宠物外观的编辑界面，虚拟宠物507的手套色色块即呈现橘黄色。
通过对蒙版贴图的遮罩区域进行染色，实现目标蒙版贴图颜色的多样化，从而丰富虚拟宠物的外观特征，提高虚拟宠物外观编辑的自由度。
在另一种可能的实施方式中，通过调整遮罩范围的大小实现目标外观特征形状大小的变化。请参考图13，其中示出了本申请一个示例性实施例提供的调整遮罩范围的方法流程图。
步骤1301，终端基于编辑操作确定遮罩范围阈值。
在本申请实施例中，蒙版贴图的遮罩区域由若干色值不同的像素点组成，像素点的色值从遮罩区域的中心到边缘依次减小。其中像素点的色值用于控制像素点的染色程度。色值与像素点的染色程度呈正相关，也就是说，色值越大，像素点的染色程度越高，用户在虚拟宠物的外观编辑界面看到的目标外观特征的颜色越深，色值越小，像素点的染色程度越低，用户在虚拟宠物的外观编辑界面看到的目标外观特征的颜色越浅。因此，在本申请实施例中，遮罩范围阈值也就是指像素点的色值阈值。
在一种可能的实施方式中，色值的范围为1到0，遮罩区域中心的色值为1，越靠近遮罩区域边缘色值越小，也就是说遮罩区域中心像素点的染色程度最大，边缘像素点的染色程度最小。
在一种可能的实施方式中，用户在虚拟宠物的外观编辑界面通过编辑控件调整目标外观特征的大小，终端基于用户调整的大小，确定遮罩范围阈值。目标外观特征的大小不同，所对应的遮罩范围阈值也不同。
示例性的，如图5所示，以目标外观特征为手套色色块为例，用户通过色块滑块控件504调整手套色色块的大小，用户每滑动一次色块滑块控件504，则终端调整一次遮罩范围阈值，所呈现的手套色色块的大小也不同。例如，当前手套色色块大小为9，终端确定与之相对应的遮罩范围阈值，当用户向右移动色块滑块控件504使得手套色色块大小变为15，终端不断基于用户的编辑操作调整与之相对应的遮罩范围阈值，用户可以看到虚拟宠物猫的手套色色块逐渐变大。
步骤1302，在像素点的色值大于或等于遮罩范围阈值的情况下，终端确定像素点属于目标遮罩范围。
终端基于遮罩范围阈值以及蒙版贴图对应最大遮罩范围内的像素点的色值，确定目标遮罩范围。在一种可能的实施方式中，在像素点的色值大于或者等于遮罩范围阈值的情况下，则大于或者等于遮罩范围阈值的像素点构成的区域为目标遮罩范围。示例性的，结合图14对确定目标遮罩范围的过程予以说明。确定蒙版贴图1401对应最大遮罩范围内的像素点的色值为0.3，蒙版贴图1401与贴图1405叠加生成目标贴图应用于虚拟宠物猫1403。用户通过编辑控件对虚拟宠物猫1403的目标外观特征的大小进行调整，终端基于该编辑操作，确定遮罩范围阈值为0.5，此时在最大遮罩范围内色值大于等于0.5的像素点属于目标遮罩范围，进而确定目标蒙版贴图1402，目标蒙版贴图1402与贴图1405叠加生成目标贴图，将该目标贴图应用于虚拟宠物猫1404。
步骤1303，在像素点的色值小于遮罩范围阈值的情况下，终端确定像素点不属于目标遮罩范围。
在另一种可能的实施方式中，像素点的色值小于遮罩范围阈值，则像素点不属于目标遮罩范围，也就是说小于遮罩范围阈值的像素点不用于显示目标外观特征。示例性的，如图14所示，蒙版贴图1401中小于0.5的像素点不属于目标遮罩范围，在虚拟宠物的外观编辑界面，用户可以看到虚拟宠物猫1404的目标外观特征范围变小。
在本申请实施例中，通过确定遮罩范围阈值与像素点的色值之间的关系，进而确定目标遮罩范围，实现了虚拟宠物的目标外观特征大小的变化，丰富了虚拟宠物的外观特征。
在另一种可能的实施方式中，通过调整遮罩渐变范围实现目标外观特征边缘渐变的效果，请参考图15，其中示出了本申请一个示例性实施例提供的调整渐变范围的方法流程图。
步骤1501，终端基于编辑操作确定渐变范围阈值。
在一种可能的实施方式中，用户在虚拟宠物的外观编辑界面通过编辑控件调整目标外观特征的边缘渐变，终端基于该编辑操作，确定渐变范围阈值。目标外观特征的边缘渐变的效果不同，所对应的渐变范围阈值也不同。
示例性的，如图5所示，以目标外观特征为手套色色块为例，用户通过边缘渐变滑块控件505调整手套色色块的边缘渐变效果，用户每滑动一次边缘渐变滑块控件505，则终端调整一次渐变范围阈值，所呈现的手套色色块的边缘渐变效果也不同。例如，当前手套色色块边缘渐变为-15，终端确定与之相对应的渐变范围阈值，当用户向右移动边缘渐变滑块控件505使得手套色色块边缘渐变效果增加，终端不断基于用户的编辑操作调整与之相对应的渐变范围阈值，用户可以看到虚拟宠物猫507的手套色色块边缘渐变效果增大。
步骤1502，在像素点的色值小于渐变范围阈值的情况下，终端将像素点的色值修改为渐变范围阈值。
终端基于渐变范围阈值以及蒙版贴图对应遮罩范围内像素点的色值，调整遮罩范围内的渐变范围。在一种可能的实施方式中，在蒙版贴图对应遮罩范围内像素点的色值小于渐变范围区域的情况下，终端将像素点的色值修改为渐变范围阈值。由于不同层级的目标蒙版贴图存在层级关系，因此修改遮罩范围内的渐变范围是在调整遮罩范围的大小之上完成的，因此终端基于蒙版贴图对应遮罩范围内的像素点的色值调整渐变范围区域。示例性的，结合图16，对调整遮罩范围的渐变范围过程进行说明。终端确定蒙版贴图1601对应遮罩范围内的像素点的色值为0.5，蒙版贴图1601与贴图1605叠加生成目标贴图应用于虚拟宠物猫1603。用户通过编辑控件对虚拟宠物猫1603的目标外观特征的边缘渐变进行调整，终端基于该编辑操作，确定渐变范围阈值为0.7，此时将0.5-0.7范围内的像素点的色值调整为0.7，即改变其像素点对应的染色程度，进而确定目标蒙版贴图1602，目标蒙版贴图1602与贴图1605叠加生成目标贴图，将该目标贴图应用于虚拟宠物猫1604。
步骤1503，在像素点的色值大于或等于渐变范围阈值的情况下，终端保持像素点的色值不变。
在另一种可能的实施方式中，像素点的色值大于或者等于渐变范围阈值，保持像素点的色值不变，即保持其像素点对应的染色程度不变。示例性的，如图16，保持大于或等于0.7的像素点的色值不变，由此，在虚拟宠物的外观编辑界面，用户可以看到虚拟宠物猫1604的目标外观特征的边缘渐变效果。
在本申请实施例中，通过确定渐变范围阈值与像素点的色值之间的关系，实现了虚拟宠物的目标外观特征的边缘渐变的不同效果，丰富虚拟宠物的外观特征。
另外，在一种可能的实施方式中，由于虚拟宠物的一些外观特征只存在于固定的部位，例如虚拟宠物猫的手套色色块，因此一些蒙版贴图的遮罩区域和非遮罩区域的位置是固定不变的。
在另一种可能的实施方式中，蒙版贴图的遮罩区域和非遮罩区域的位置不是固定不变的，终端基于用户的编辑操作，将蒙版贴图的遮罩区域和非遮罩区域的位置进行交换，得到目标蒙版贴图。
示例性的，如图17所示，蒙版贴图的遮罩区域为1701和非遮罩区域1702，遮罩区域为1701和非遮罩区域1702未交换，该蒙版贴图与贴图1705叠加生成目标贴图，将该目标贴图应用于虚拟宠物猫1703。用户通过编辑控件改变目标外观特征的位置，终端基于该编辑操作，将遮罩区域1701变为非遮罩区域，将非遮罩区域1702变为遮罩区域，进而确定目标蒙版贴图，该目标蒙版贴图与贴图1705叠加生成目标贴图，将该目标贴图应用于虚拟宠物猫1704。和虚拟宠物猫1703相比，虚拟宠物猫1704的目标外观特征的位置发生了变化。
本申请实施例中，通过将蒙版贴图的遮罩区域和非遮罩区域的位置进行交换，丰富虚拟宠物的外观特征。
请参考图18，其示出了本申请另一个示例性实施例提供的虚拟宠物的外观编辑方法的流程图。

步骤1804，终端在外观编辑界面中展示编辑后的虚拟宠物，其中，编辑后的虚拟宠物是由第一外观编辑控件控制的外观特征和第二外观编辑控件控制的目标外观特征结合后得到的虚拟宠物模型。
基于第一外观编辑控件控制的外观特征和第二外观编辑控件控制的目标外观特征结合后得到虚拟宠物模型，终端在外观编辑界面中展示该虚拟宠物模型。示例性的，如图19所示，以虚拟宠物猫为例。终端基于用户对第一外观编辑控件1903的操作，确定虚拟宠物猫的毛发底色为白色，终端在虚拟宠物的外观编辑界面1901中展示虚拟宠物猫1902的毛发底色为白色。终端基于用户对第二外观编辑控件1904的操作，确定虚拟宠物猫的手套色色块的颜色、色块大小、边缘渐变，终端在虚拟宠物的外观编辑界面1901中展示虚拟宠物猫1902的手套色色块颜色为黑色、色块大小为9、边缘渐变为-15。基于上述外观特征，终端在虚拟宠物外观编辑界面中呈现虚拟宠物1902。
综上所述，在本申请实施例中，由第一外观编辑控件控制的外观特征和第二外观编辑控件控制的目标外观特征得到虚拟宠物模型，通过调整第一外观编辑控件控制的外观特征以及第二外观编辑控件控制的目标外观特征进而生成外观特征不同的虚拟宠物，提高虚拟宠物外观编辑的自由度，丰富虚拟宠物的外观特征。
