Method for implementing real time altering virtual role appearance in network game

Abstract

The invention discloses a method for real-time changing appearances of virtual roles in a network game, comprising steps of: a, preparing venation and polygon resource data in advance for changing the appearances of the virtual roles; b, configurating an information creation database for the resource data for changing the appearances of different virtual roles; c, obtaining the venation and polygon resource data for changing the appearances of the virtual roles by reading resource configuration information in the database during the game operation process; and real-time changing the appearances of the virtual roles based on a user request message. According to the invention, the appearances of the virtual roles are changed by real-time changing the venation material and polygon vertex data of the virtual roles in the game based on the prior art, thereby effectively avoiding problems of role design, venation capability, cartoon synchronization, etc., improving the manufacturing process and realizing efficiency, and increasing the operation efficiency of the network game client.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of online games, in particular to a method for realizing real-time change of the appearance of virtual characters in online games. Background technique [0002] Online games are a new network service model that has emerged in recent years. Massively multiplayer online role-playing games are currently one of the most popular types of online games. Players play or control specific roles or objects in an imaginary game world. Complete specific tasks or achieve specific goals in an interactive virtual environment. In the context of a grand game design, character settings are often very complicated, and most role-playing games allow players to customize the configuration of virtual character images, which brings design requirements that can be real-time during the game. to change the appearance of the avatar. [0003] The current solutions mainly include the following: one is through the replacement of texture ...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

The advantage of the first method is that it can achieve the purpose of changing the appearance of the character without changing the polygon model data. The disadvantage is that it is powerless to change the appearance of the character, such as hairstyle, face shape, fat and thin, etc., and the replacement of texture materials generally needs to be replaced as a whole. , which may result in an excessive amount of texture data

The second method can meet the requirements of changing the shape of the virtual character, but because the virtual character usually needs to do various actions in the game, especially when the animation simulation is implemented in an independent thread, it often leads to animation synchronization problems, such as replacement Uncoordinated or even weird movements of the upper and lower body behind the model

In the third method, all parts are saved in the same model file and share the same set of animation sequence information, so the animation synchronization problem can be effectively avoided. The problem is that it needs to fully consider all possibilities when designing the character, but It is generally difficult to do this. Once the role settings need to be adjusted, the entire model data has to be re-made and exported, which will have a greater impact on production efficiency.
