With continued reference to FIG. 2, aflow 200 of one embodiment of a virtual character based display method in accordance with the present disclosure is illustrated. The display method based on the virtual role comprises the following steps:

step 201, obtaining a virtual character model.

In the present embodiment, the execution subject (for example, theserver 105 shown in fig. 1) of the virtual character-based display method may acquire the virtual character model. In the present embodiment, the virtual character model is generally a 3D (3-dimension) model of a character. The executing agent may directly create a new virtual character model, or may select a virtual character model from an existing virtual character model library. Generally, a pre-constructed basic character model can be obtained, and then personalized modification is performed according to actual requirements, for example, the hairstyle, the face shape, the stature, the clothes and the like of the basic character model are configured, and finally, a required virtual character model is obtained.

It should be noted that the virtual character model in this embodiment may be constructed by using a 3D modeling method in the prior art, which is not described herein again.

Step 202, receiving behavior driving information generated by the entity object, and driving the virtual character model based on the behavior driving information.

In this embodiment, the execution subject may receive behavior driving information generated by the entity object, and drive the virtual character model based on the behavior driving information. In this embodiment, the virtual character model needs to be driven in real time through the entity object, wherein the entity object is acted by a real person.

After receiving the behavior driving information generated by the entity object, the execution body can drive the virtual character model to perform corresponding actions or expressions according to the behavior driving information. The behavior driving information may be collected by some external devices, for example, the external devices may be a limb motion capture device, i.e., a device capable of collecting limb motion information of the target object, a sound capture device, i.e., a device capable of collecting sound information of the target object, a facial expression motion capture device, i.e., a device capable of collecting facial expressions of the target object, and the like.

As one example, a photo of a face of a physical object may be captured using an image capture device, and a facial expression in the photo of the face may be determined through image recognition techniques, and then real-time expression-driven information generated through the facial expression. After receiving the expression driving information, the execution subject may change the facial expression of the virtual character model using the information, so that the facial expression of the virtual character model is consistent with the physical object.

As another example, an image capture device may be used to obtain a picture of a limb of a physical object, and determine a limb movement in the picture of the limb through image recognition techniques, and then generate real-time limb movement driving information through the limb movement. The execution body may change the physical movement of the virtual character model using the physical movement driving information so that the physical movement of the virtual character model is consistent with the physical object, after receiving the physical movement driving information.

By driving the virtual character model in this way, the obtained virtual character can be more real and more easily accepted by the audience.

And 203, acquiring a dynamic effect corresponding to the behavior driving information, and displaying the dynamic effect on a display interface of the virtual character model.

In this embodiment, the execution subject may obtain a dynamic effect corresponding to the behavior driving information, and display the dynamic effect on a display interface of the virtual character model. In this embodiment, a dynamic effect library may be preset, where the dynamic effect library may include a plurality of preset behavior driving information, and match a corresponding dynamic effect for each behavior driving information.

After receiving the behavior driving information, the execution main body can match the behavior driving information with each preset behavior driving information in the dynamic effect library, obtain a corresponding dynamic effect under the condition of successful matching, and display the dynamic effect on a display interface of the virtual character model.

As an example, the dynamic effect matching the behavior driving information in the dynamic effect library may be a sticker, an expression, background music, a UI (User Interface) dynamic effect, a switching background, and the like.

The display method based on the virtual role provided by the embodiment of the disclosure comprises the steps of firstly obtaining a virtual role model; then receiving behavior driving information generated by the entity object, and driving the virtual role model based on the behavior driving information; and finally, acquiring a dynamic effect corresponding to the behavior driving information, and displaying the dynamic effect on a display interface of the virtual character model. The method can drive the virtual character model in real time based on behavior driving information generated by an entity object, and can add a dynamic effect corresponding to the behavior driving information on a display interface of the virtual character model, so that the method can interact with audiences in real time, and the interestingness of live broadcast interaction is increased.

With continued reference to fig. 3, fig. 3 is a schematic diagram of one application scenario of the virtual character-based display method according to the present disclosure. In the application scenario of fig. 3, the executing agent may acquire a virtual character model, while receiving behavior driving information of thephysical object 301 acquired by various external devices, such as a limb motion capture device, a sound capture device, and the like, and drive the virtual character model based on the behavior driving information. In fig. 3, the behavior-driven information of the physical object obtained by the sound capture device is "barycenter". Then, the execution entity obtains the dynamic effect corresponding to the behavior driving information "heart of mind", and displays the dynamic effect of "heart of mind" on thedisplay interface 302 of the virtual character model.

With continued reference to FIG. 4, FIG. 4 illustrates aflow 400 of yet another embodiment of a virtual character based display method according to the present disclosure. The display method based on the virtual role comprises the following steps:

step 401, obtaining a virtual character model.

Step 402, receiving behavior driving information generated by the entity object, and driving the virtual character model based on the behavior driving information.

The steps 401-.

In some optional implementations of the present embodiment, the behavior driving information includes, but is not limited to, at least one of: the voice message, the expression information, the action information, wherein, the action information includes: gesture motion information and/or limb motion information. That is, the behavior driving information generated by the entity object may be received, and the behavior driving information may include voice information, facial expression information, motion information, facial expression information, limb motion information, voice information, gesture motion information, or voice information, limb motion information, and the like.

Step 403, in response to the behavior driving information including the dynamic effect instruction, acquiring a dynamic effect and position information corresponding to the dynamic effect instruction.

In the present embodiment, an execution subject (e.g., theserver 105 shown in fig. 1) of the virtual character-based display method may acquire a dynamic effect and location information corresponding to a dynamic effect instruction in a case where the dynamic effect instruction is included in the behavior drive information.

In this embodiment, a plurality of dynamic effect instructions may be preset, and each dynamic effect instruction has a corresponding dynamic effect and corresponding location information. The execution main body can match the behavior driving information with a preset dynamic effect instruction after receiving the behavior driving information generated by the entity object, and acquire a dynamic effect and position information corresponding to the instruction under the condition of successful matching.

As an example, assuming that the received behavior driving information is "happy," the execution subject matches the behavior driving information with a preset dynamic effect instruction, and if the matching is successful, obtains a dynamic effect corresponding to the "happy," and the "happy" is a facial expression, and the position information of the corresponding dynamic effect is a facial area.

In some optional implementations of this embodiment,step 403 includes: acquiring a dynamic effect corresponding to the dynamic effect instruction; determining the type of the dynamic effect; and determining the position information corresponding to the dynamic effect instruction based on the type of the dynamic effect and the position of the virtual role model on the display interface. That is, the execution main body may obtain a dynamic effect corresponding to the dynamic effect instruction, and then determine the type of the dynamic effect, where the type of the dynamic effect may include a sticker, an expression, background music, a UI animation, a switching background, and the like. And then, determining the position information corresponding to the dynamic effect instruction based on the type of the dynamic effect and the position of the virtual role model on the display interface. For example, if it is determined that the type of "fun" is a sticker, then at the location of the virtual character model on the presentation interface, it can be determined that the location at which the "fun" sticker is displayed should be the face region.

In some optional implementations of this embodiment, step 403 further includes: acquiring an initial dynamic effect corresponding to the dynamic effect instruction; determining the type of the initial dynamic effect; determining position information based on a preset position on a display interface; and adjusting the initial dynamic effect based on the type and the position information to obtain the dynamic effect. That is, the initial dynamic effect may be adjusted based on the type of the initial dynamic effect and the displayed location information, thereby generating an adjusted dynamic effect. For example, after the dynamic effect instruction is obtained, it is acquired that the displayed initial dynamic effect is "like", and it is determined that the type corresponding to the initial dynamic effect is a sticker, and the initial dynamic effect is displayed in the hand area, and then it is adjusted based on the corresponding type and the displayed position information, for example, the initial dynamic effect "like" may be adjusted to be the UI dynamic effect "clap", and the display position may be the original "like" position.

And step 404, determining a display position on a display interface of the virtual character model based on the position information.

In this embodiment, the execution subject may determine a display position on the display interface of the virtual character model based on the position information acquired instep 403. That is, the execution subject determines, based on the location information, an area of the virtual character model corresponding to the location information, and determines the area as a location where the dynamic effect is displayed.

As an example, if the position information of the "happy" dynamic effect is a face region, the execution body may determine that the display position of the "happy" dynamic effect should be the face region of the virtual character model.

Step 405, outputting the dynamic effect on the display position.

In this embodiment, the execution subject may output the dynamic effect at the display position determined instep 404. For example, a dynamic effect corresponding to "happy" may be added to and displayed in a face region of the virtual character model.

As can be seen from fig. 4, compared with the embodiment corresponding to fig. 2, in the display method based on virtual roles in this embodiment, a virtual role model is first obtained; then receiving behavior driving information generated by the entity object, and driving the virtual role model based on the behavior driving information; then, responding to the fact that the behavior driving information comprises a dynamic effect instruction, and obtaining a dynamic effect and position information corresponding to the dynamic effect instruction; determining a display position on a display interface of the virtual character model based on the position information; and finally outputting the dynamic effect on the display position. In this embodiment, in the case that the behavior driving information includes a dynamic effect instruction, the dynamic effect and the position information corresponding to the dynamic effect instruction are obtained, and then the dynamic effect is displayed at the corresponding position on the display interface of the virtual character model. The method can determine the display position of the corresponding dynamic effect based on the behavior driving information, and increases the interestingness of interaction with audiences.

With continued reference to FIG. 5, FIG. 5 illustrates aflow 500 of another embodiment of a virtual character based display method according to the present disclosure. The display method based on the virtual role comprises the following steps:

step 501, obtaining a virtual character model.

Step 501 is substantially the same asstep 401 in the foregoing embodiment, and the specific implementation manner may refer to the foregoing description ofstep 401, which is not described herein again.

Step 502, receiving behavior driving information generated by the entity object, and driving the virtual role model based on the behavior driving information.

In this embodiment, an execution subject (for example, theserver 105 shown in fig. 1) of the virtual character-based display method may receive behavior driving information generated by an entity object, and drive a virtual character model based on the behavior driving information, where the behavior driving information includes a dynamic effect instruction, and the dynamic effect instruction may be an instruction indicating that a dynamic effect is to be added, such as a voice instruction or an action instruction. Step 502 is substantially the same asstep 402 in the foregoing embodiment, and the specific implementation manner may refer to the foregoing description ofstep 402, which is not described herein again.

Step 503, in response to the behavior driving information including the first instruction information, acquiring a dynamic effect corresponding to the first instruction information.

In this embodiment, the execution subject may acquire a dynamic effect corresponding to the first instruction information in a case where the behavior drive information includes the first instruction information.

In some optional implementations of this embodiment, the first instruction information includes a voice instruction. That is, the execution subject may obtain the dynamic effect corresponding to the voice command when the behavior driving information includes the voice command

Correspondingly, a plurality of voice instructions can be preset, and a corresponding dynamic effect can be matched for each voice instruction. The execution main body can perform voice recognition on the voice information after acquiring the voice information to obtain a corresponding voice instruction, then match the voice instruction with a preset voice instruction, and acquire a corresponding dynamic effect under the condition of successful matching. It should be noted that, the voice information in this embodiment may be recognized by using a voice recognition technology in the prior art, which is not described herein again. As an example, when voice information is recognized and the obtained voice command is "pot change", a dynamic effect corresponding to "pot change" may be obtained.

Atstep 504, position information is determined based on second instruction information included in the behavior driving information.

In this embodiment, the execution main body may determine the position information based on the second instruction information included in the behavior drive information.

In some optional implementations of this embodiment, the second instruction information includes action information. That is, the execution body may determine the position information based on the action information in the behavior driving information. The action information and the voice command in this step may be obtained simultaneously. Specifically, a plurality of action instructions may be preset, and corresponding position information may be matched for each action instruction. After the execution main body obtains the action information, the execution main body analyzes the action information to obtain a corresponding action instruction, and then obtains preset position information corresponding to the action instruction.

As an example, when the voice information generated by the entity object and the action information are "make a sound while saying ' pot change '," based on the action information, "make a sound" may determine that the position corresponding to the voice instruction "pot change ' is a predetermined position, for example, the lower left corner of the display screen.

In some optional implementations of this embodiment,step 504 includes: and determining the position information based on the action information and the position key word in response to the voice command comprising the position key word. That is, in the case where the voice command includes the preset position keyword, the execution body may determine the position information based on the motion information and the position keyword. The preset position keyword may be a limb position keyword, such as on a hand, on an arm, or the like. For example, when the voice command is "give me two fire to hand", the execution subject recognizes that the voice command contains a position keyword "on hand", and then determines that the position corresponding to the voice command is a hand based on the position keyword. Meanwhile, the position of the hand of the virtual character on the current display screen can be determined through the action information, and the position is the position for displaying the dynamic effect.

And 505, determining a display position on a display interface of the virtual character model based on the position information.

Step 506, outputting the dynamic effect on the display position.

Thesteps 505 and 506 are substantially the same as thesteps 404 and 405 of the foregoing embodiment, and the specific implementation manner can refer to the foregoing description of thesteps 404 and 405, and will not be described herein again.

As can be seen from fig. 5, compared with the embodiment corresponding to fig. 4, the virtual character-based display method in the present embodiment can drive the virtual character model based on the received voice information and motion information generated by the physical object; on the basis, the dynamic effect corresponding to the voice instruction can be obtained, the position information corresponding to the voice instruction is determined based on the action information, and therefore the dynamic effect is output in the corresponding area of the virtual character model display interface based on the position information. The method can determine the corresponding dynamic effect and the display position through the voice information and the action information, and enriches the diversity of the live broadcast interaction mode.

With further reference to fig. 6, as an implementation of the methods shown in the above figures, the present disclosure provides an embodiment of a virtual character-based display apparatus, which corresponds to the method embodiment shown in fig. 2, and which is particularly applicable to various electronic devices.
