Visual edit method and visual editor for 3D (three-dimensional) game role Avatar

Abstract

The invention provides a visual edit method for a 3D (three-dimensional) game role Avatar. The visual edit method includes steps of importing a role model; transforming bones of the model and generating bone deformation data; exporting the bone deformation data and storing the bone deformation data in magnetic disks; loading the bone deformation data in an internal storage when a game runs and processing bones of the role by the aid of the data. The invention further provides a visual editor for the 3D game role Avatar. The visual editor comprises a model selecting module, an adjusting and transforming module, a storing module and a running module. The model selecting module is used for importing the role model; the adjusting and transforming module is used for transforming the bones of the model and generating the bone deformation data; the storing module is used for exporting the bone deformation data and storing the bone deformation data in the magnetic disks; the running module is used for loading the bone deformation data into the internal storage when the game runs and processing the bones of the role by the aid of the data. The visual edit method and the visual editor have the advantages that the role model can be visually edited, edit effects of the model can be previewed in real time, and a function of dynamically adjusting the bodily form of the role when the game runs can be realized.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to visual editing of characters, in particular to a visual editing method and editor for a 3D game character Avatar. Background technique [0002] In 3D games, especially role-playing games, it is often necessary to place a large number of characters in the game, including characters representing the player himself and characters controlled by non-players. The traditional method of making characters is to make a specific 3D character model for each character. When the model is deformed, a new model needs to be rebuilt. This method greatly increases the character development workload of the artist, and In the process of large-scale game development and production, the efficiency is low, the reuse rate of character models is low, and the memory takes up a lot of space. Contents of the invention [0003] One of the technical problems to be solved by the present invention is to provide a visual editing method for a 3D game characte...
