Furthermore, the described features, structures, or characteristics may be combined in any suitable manner in one or more embodiments. In the following description, numerous specific details are provided to give a thorough understanding of embodiments of the disclosure. One skilled in the relevant art will recognize, however, that the embodiments of the disclosure can be practiced without one or more of the specific details, or with other methods, components, devices, steps, and the like. In other instances, well-known methods, devices, implementations, or operations have not been shown or described in detail to avoid obscuring aspects of the disclosure.

The block diagrams shown in the figures are functional entities only and do not necessarily correspond to physically separate entities. I.e. these functional entities may be implemented in the form of software, or in one or more hardware modules or integrated circuits, or in different networks and/or processor means and/or microcontroller means.

The flowcharts shown in the figures are illustrative only and do not necessarily include all of the contents and operations/steps, nor do they necessarily have to be performed in the order described. For example, some operations/steps may be decomposed, and some operations/steps may be combined or partially combined, so that the actual execution sequence may be changed according to the actual situation.

In the related art in the field, a plurality of business departments cooperate with each other to perform game scene early-stage planning and production, when a game scene is produced, modeling software such as 3D max is generally used to construct a simple model such as box, scene construction is performed according to a scene layout, then the simple model is imported into a game engine to perform running test, and modification is performed according to a running test result, but the previously executed steps need to be re-executed during modification, and a scene layout design scheme can be determined only when a plurality of parties confirm that there is no problem, and fig. 1 shows a structural schematic diagram of a model constructed in the prior art.

However, the method for constructing the game scene in the related art has corresponding defects, and taking a 1000m × 1000m city scene as an example, the scene layout design occupies about 10% of the total workload, the game scene construction occupies about 60% of the total workload, the scene import running occupies about 30% of the total workload, and the scene construction using box occupies most of the workload. If unreasonable places in the design need to be modified, the design needs to be modified layer by layer, so that a large amount of cost is consumed, handover of different business departments is complicated, and execution efficiency is greatly influenced.

Based on the problems in the related art, the present disclosure provides a method for constructing a game scene, where a software application is executed on a processor of an electronic device and a graphical user interface is rendered on a display of the electronic device, where the graphical user interface includes a part of the game scene, and the method for constructing the game scene may be run on a server, or may be run on a server cluster or a cloud server, and of course, a person skilled in the art may also run the method of the present disclosure on other platforms as needed, and this is not limited in this exemplary embodiment. Fig. 2 illustrates a method of constructing a game scene, which includes at least the following steps, as shown in fig. 2:

step S210; acquiring a terrain height map and an object height map;

step S220: respectively acquiring the height information of the terrain and the height information of the game object according to the terrain height map and the object height map;

step S230: respectively constructing a terrain model and an object model according to the height information of the terrain and the height information of the game object;

step S240: and loading the object model to the terrain model to obtain a game scene comprising the object model and the terrain model.

According to the method for constructing the game scene, on one hand, the terrain model and the object model are respectively constructed according to the height information of the terrain and the height information of the game object, the object model is loaded on the terrain model, the construction of the scene is automatically completed without designing a scene layout diagram in advance, then the game scene construction is carried out according to the scene layout diagram modeling and the model is manually used, so that the situation that the scene construction consumes a large amount of time can be avoided, and the efficiency of constructing the game scene is improved; on the other hand, the construction, the running test and the modification of the game scene can be directly completed through the business departments for constructing the game scene, the handover of a plurality of business departments is avoided, and the execution efficiency for constructing the game scene is improved.

In order to make the technical solution of the present disclosure clearer, the following describes each step of the method for constructing a game scene by taking the game scene in a game as an example.

In step S210, a terrain height map and an object height map are acquired.

In an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, a person constructing a game scene may design a terrain height map and an object height map through image processing software, for example, the terrain height map and the object height map may be made through Photoshop and other software, fig. 3A and 3B respectively show the terrain height map and the object height map drawn through Photoshop, as can be seen from fig. 3A, the terrain height map includes black parts and gray parts, wherein the gray parts have a certain height relative to the black parts, different gray values in the terrain height map represent different terrain heights, and similarly, in fig. 3B, the drawn object height map presents different gray values, the parts with large gray values correspond to objects with higher heights, and the parts with small gray values correspond to objects with lower heights. Of course, the required terrain height map and/or object height map may also be obtained from some target databases, and may be directly used for building the game scene, which is not specifically limited by the present disclosure. In an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, the object located on the terrain may be a building, and may also be a river, an island, or the like, and in order to make the technical solution of the present disclosure clearer, the following description will be made with respect to the building as an object.

In step S220, altitude information of the terrain and altitude information of the game object are acquired from the terrain altitude map and the object altitude map, respectively.

In an exemplary embodiment of the disclosure, after the user finishes drawing in the terminal or obtains the terrain height map and the object height map through the terminal, the user may send the terrain height map and the object height map to the server, and the server may determine the gray value corresponding to each point in the terrain height map according to the terrain height map, that is, obtain a terrain gray value, and may also obtain the gray value corresponding to each point in the object height map, that is, a gray value of a game object, specifically, a gray value of a building object. And then, converting the terrain gray value and the gray value of the game object into height information of the terrain and height information of the game object according to a preset rule, wherein the height information of the game object can be specifically height information of a building. The preset rule may be a conversion rule set according to actual needs, for example, 1 gray represents 1 meter, that is, a point with a gray value of 50 in the terrain height map or the building height map is a point with a height of 50 meters in the terrain or the building model, and of course, the preset rule may also be other rules, for example, 1 gray represents 10 meters, 20 meters, and the like, which is not specifically limited by the present disclosure, as long as it is ensured that the conversion relationship between the gray value and the height is the same in the process of generating the terrain model and the object model.

In an exemplary embodiment of the disclosure, after the terminal finishes drawing or the terminal acquires the terrain height map and the object height map, the user may further acquire a terrain gray value corresponding to the terrain height map and an object gray value corresponding to the object height map through the terminal, convert the terrain gray value into height information of the terrain according to a preset rule, and convert the object gray value into height information of the game object.

In step S230, a terrain model and an object model are respectively constructed according to the height information of the terrain and the height information of the game object.

In an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, after acquiring the height information of the terrain, a terrain model may be formed from the height information of the terrain. Fig. 4 is a schematic flow chart illustrating the process of forming a terrain model according to the height information of the terrain, as shown in fig. 4, in step S401, the height information of the terrain is mapped onto a preset first model to form a first terrain model; the first model can be a patch with higher point density, and a terrain model with height is formed by correspondingly mapping terrain height information to the patch, wherein the terrain model with height is the first terrain model. In step S402, performing color mapping according to the height information corresponding to each point in the first terrain model to form a second terrain model; in the color mapping, the mapping may be performed according to the height percentage of the height corresponding to each point with respect to the highest point in the first terrain model, for example, the color of the point with the height percentage of 1 is set to white, the color of the point with the height percentage of 0 is set to black, the color of the point with the height percentage of 0.5 is set to green, and the like. Furthermore, a comparison relation table can be formed according to the height percentage and the corresponding color, and after the first model is formed, the system can automatically map the color according to the comparison relation table to form a second terrain model. In step S403, converting the second terrain model into a mesh model to obtain the terrain model; in order to improve the stereoscopic impression of the terrain and make the terrain model more vivid, the second terrain model can be converted to form a grid model, and then the terrain model can be obtained.

In an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, a method of constructing an object model according to height information of a game object is similar to a method of constructing a terrain model according to height information of terrain, and fig. 5 is a schematic flow chart illustrating a process of constructing an object model according to height information of a game object, as shown in fig. 5, in step S501, height information of a game object is mapped onto a preset second model to form a first object model; the second model may be the same model as the first model or may be a different model. In step S502, color mapping is performed according to the height information corresponding to each point in the first object model to form a second object model; in step S503, the second object model is converted into a mesh model to obtain an object model. The method for performing color mapping and converting into a mesh model is the same as the method for performing color mapping and converting into a mesh model in fig. 4, and the embodiment of the disclosure is not described herein again.

In step S240, the object model is loaded onto the terrain model, and a game scene including the object model and the terrain model is obtained.

In an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, after the construction of the terrain model and the object model is completed, the two may be projection-joined to form a complete game scene. In the process of loading the object model onto the terrain model, the construction of the game scene can be realized by projecting the object model onto the terrain model and then highly restoring the projection diagram.

In an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, a frame model of the object model may be first obtained from the object model and then projected onto the terrain model. Specifically, after the object model is formed, the user may set the color attributes of each surface in the object model, in an embodiment of the present disclosure, the user may set the color attributes of each vertex of the object model through a corresponding node in the model building software, and then transfer all the color attributes from inside the vertex to each surface for storage, and in an embodiment of the present disclosure, the object model may include a surface having a first color attribute and a surface having a second color attribute, where the first color attribute is different from the second color attribute. Specifically, the surface of the first color attribute may be a surface of the object model with a height value of zero, the surface of the second color attribute may be a surface of the object layout model with a height value of non-zero, the first color may be any color, such as red, yellow, etc., and the second color may be any color different from the first color, which is not specifically limited by the disclosure. Fig. 6A-6B are schematic interface diagrams of a building model and a frame model corresponding to the building model, as shown in fig. 6A, the building model formed according to the method shown in fig. 5 may be processed by deleting a surface having a first color attribute from the building model, and only a surface having a second color attribute is reserved, and a structure formed by the surfaces having the second color attribute is the frame model of the building model, as shown in fig. 6B.

In an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, after obtaining the frame model of the object model, a normal direction may be set for all vertices of the frame model, the frame model may be moved along the normal direction and then projected toward the ground, so that the projection image may be restored to the object model according to the height information of the object model. In the embodiment of the disclosure, the normal direction is a direction perpendicular to the horizontal plane, so that the restored object layout model can be guaranteed to be perpendicular to the horizontal plane, the visual habit of the player can be met, and the user can be provided with a better immersion feeling. Further, fig. 7 shows a flow chart of projecting the frame model of the object model on the terrain model, as shown in fig. 7, in step S701, the frame model of the object model is moved by a preset distance in the normal direction; the preset distance is greater than the upper limit value of the height of the terrain model, namely the height value corresponding to the highest point in the terrain model; in the present disclosure, the height value corresponding to the highest point in the terrain may be set to 100 meters, that is, the gray value corresponding to the point is 100 according to the rule that 1 gray represents 1 meter, and accordingly, the preset distance may be set to 200 or other values greater than 100, so that the frame model of the object model is completely located above the terrain model, and when the frame model of the object model is projected to the terrain model, the corresponding terrain exists. In step S702, projecting the frame model onto the terrain model to obtain a target object map; the corresponding nodes in the game scene construction software can be used for emitting rays downwards to the whole frame model of the object model and emitting the rays to the terrain model so as to obtain a building layout drawing flattened on the terrain model, wherein the building layout drawing is the target object drawing. In step S703, the height value of each vertex on the target object diagram is added to the height value of the corresponding vertex in the height information of the game object to obtain an object model on the terrain model; each feature point in the target object graph stores a height attribute value corresponding to the feature point, and when the height is reduced, the height attribute value stored by each feature point can be taken out and added with the height attribute value of the point corresponding to each feature point on the terrain model, and the coordinate position of each feature point is changed according to the numerical value obtained after addition, so that the reduction of the target object graph can be realized, the object model is ensured to be positioned on the terrain model, and the construction of a game scene is realized. Fig. 8 shows a schematic structural diagram of a game scene, and it is noted that in the game scene shown in fig. 8, the terrain model is not shown.

In an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, in order to further reduce consumption and improve game effect and user experience, the number of grid surfaces in a game scene may be processed to reduce the number of grid surfaces to a target number, as shown in a schematic structural diagram of the game scene after the number of surfaces is reduced in fig. 9, where the target number may be set according to actual needs, for example, the target number may be set to 80% of an original number, and so on, as long as consumption can be reduced while the overall effect of the game scene is ensured. The reduction of the number of mesh surfaces in the game scene may be specifically realized by corresponding nodes in the model building software, or may be realized by artificially performing topology surface reduction on the game scene, which is not specifically limited in the embodiment of the present disclosure.

In the exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, in the process of reducing the number of the mesh surfaces, the normal direction corresponding to a surface in the game scene may change, for example, the original normal direction of a certain surface is (1,1,0), but after reducing the number of the mesh surfaces, the normal direction of the surface becomes (-1, -1,0), so that in the later illumination processing, the position that should be brightened becomes dark, which causes a deviation in the effect of the game scene, and therefore, in order to ensure the overall effect of the game scene, the normal direction of each surface of the game scene may be corrected and adjusted back to the normal state after reducing the number of the mesh surfaces.

In the exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, different visual attributes may also be set for the terrain model according to the construction process of the game scene, for example, in the process of projecting the object model onto the terrain model, performing height reduction on the object model, and subtracting the area of the game scene, the visual attribute of the terrain model may be set to be hidden, and after the above operation is completed, the visual attribute of the terrain model may be converted into display, so that the terrain model and the object model are displayed together, and the construction of the game scene is completed. Fig. 10 shows a schematic structural view of a game scene, in fig. 10 both a terrain model and a building model are visible.

In the exemplary embodiment of the disclosure, after the game scene is constructed, the game scene may be exported to a game engine, such as Unity or UE4, and a scene test may be performed on the game scene by the game engine, and during the scene test, the game plan may perform the scene test using a first-person perspective of the game engine itself, so that a planner may tailor the experience and determine whether there is a part in the game scene that needs to be modified. If the game scene has a part needing to be modified, the planning personnel can modify the corresponding part in the terrain height map and/or the object height map, and then construct the game scene based on the modified terrain height map and/or the modified object height map.

According to the method for constructing the game scene, the terrain model and the object model can be automatically generated according to the terrain height map and the object height map, the game scene is constructed by using the models without designing a scene layout map in advance, then the model is built according to the scene layout map and the model is manually used for constructing the game scene, the workload is reduced by at least 50%, the handover process among different posts is reduced, and the efficiency of constructing the game scene is improved; in addition, when the game scene is modified, the game scene can be modified only by modifying the terrain height map and/or the object height map, so that the model modification process is reduced, and the modification efficiency and accuracy are improved. Furthermore, after the game scene is built, the game scene can be directly set to be semitransparent for further scene making, so that the model is built more accurately, and the error probability is greatly reduced.

The following describes embodiments of the apparatus of the present disclosure, which may be used to perform the above-mentioned method for constructing a game scene of the present disclosure.
