DETAILED DESCRIPTION

Exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure will be described more fully hereinafter with reference to the accompanying drawings.

The accompanying drawings are schematic diagrams of the present disclosure and are not necessarily drawn to scale. Some of the block diagrams shown in the accompanying drawings may be functional entities and do not necessarily correspond to physically or logically independent entities. These functional entities can be implemented in software form, or in hardware modules or integrated circuits, or in networks, processors or microcontrollers. The embodiments can be implemented in various forms and should not be construed as being limited to the examples set forth herein. The features, structures or characteristics described in the present disclosure may be combined in one or more embodiments in any suitable manner. In the description below, many specific details are provided to provide a full description of the embodiments of the present disclosure. However, those skilled in the art should appreciate that one or more specific details may be omitted when implementing the technical solution of the present disclosure, or one or more specific details may be replaced by other methods, components, devices, steps, etc.

The virtual object that the user sees through the display screen is the projection of the virtual object on the display plane, and the projection cannot fully reflect the information of the virtual object. For example, if the virtual object is a three-dimensional virtual object or a higher-dimensional virtual object, the user can only see the projection information of one surface through the display plane, and cannot see the information of other surfaces. Therefore, when the user observes, controls or edits the virtual object, it is usually necessary to adjust the viewing angle multiple times to see the information of the virtual object in different directions, such as the position and size of the three-dimensional virtual object in different directions, so as to accurately control or edit it. Obviously, this brings great inconvenience to the user's operation. In addition, if the user frequently adjusts the viewing angle, it will also increase the computing resource overhead of the device and increase energy consumption.

In view of the above problems, an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure provides a method for displaying a virtual object to improve the operational convenience of a user when observing, controlling or editing a virtual object, and to reduce computing resource overhead and energy consumption of a device.

The control method of the virtual object in one embodiment of the present disclosure can be run on a local terminal device or a server. When the interactive method in the game is run on a server, the method can be implemented and executed based on a cloud interactive system, wherein the cloud interactive system includes a server and a client device.

In an optional implementation, various cloud applications can be run under the cloud interaction system, such as cloud games. Taking cloud games as an example, cloud games refer to a game mode based on cloud computing. In the operation mode of cloud games, the operating body of the game program and the main body of the game screen presentation are separated. The storage and operation of the interactive methods in the game are completed on the cloud game server. The role of the client device is used for receiving and sending data and presenting the game screen. For example, the client device can be a display device with data transmission function close to the user side, such as a mobile terminal, a TV, a computer, a handheld computer, etc.; but the cloud game server in the cloud is used for information processing. When playing the game, the player operates the client device to send an operation instruction to the cloud game server. The cloud game server runs the game according to the operation instruction, encodes and compresses the game screen and other data, and returns it to the client device through the network. Finally, the client device decodes and outputs the game screen.

In this exemplary embodiment, a graphical user interface can be displayed by a terminal device, which can be a mobile phone, a personal computer, a tablet computer, a smart wearable device, a game console, etc., which has a display function and can display a graphical user interface. The graphical user interface may include a screen of the terminal device running an operating system, such as a desktop, a system setting interface, an application program interface, etc.

As shown in reference figure 1, the graphical user interface may include a first screen 110, and the first screen 110 displays the projection of the virtual object 130 in the first visual plane, that is, the image seen by observing the virtual object 130 along the normal direction of the first visual plane. The graphical user interface may also include a second screen 120, and the second screen 120 may be fixedly displayed in the graphical user interface, or may be displayed in the graphical user interface when specific conditions are met. The second screen 120 displays the projection of the virtual object 130 in the second visual plane, that is, the image seen by observing the virtual object 130 along the normal direction of the second visual plane. The first visual plane and the second visual plane are not parallel, so that the observation angles of the first screen 110 and the second screen 120 are not exactly the same, so that the user can obtain more comprehensive information about the virtual object 130 by combining the projections in the two screens.

FIG1 shows that the first screen 110 is the main interface and the second screen 120 is the window interface. In addition, the graphical user interface can also be divided into two parts horizontally or vertically, one part is the first screen 110 and the other part is the second screen 120, etc. The present disclosure does not limit the arrangement or position relationship of the first screen 110 and the second screen 120.

The virtual object may be a virtual scene, or a person or object in the virtual scene. In one embodiment, the virtual object may be a three-dimensional virtual object. The virtual object has at least one reference axis, which is used to provide benchmark information in a specific direction. The information of the virtual object can be measured and characterized by the reference axis. For example, by obtaining the position and size of the three-dimensional virtual object on each reference axis, the position and three-dimensional size of the three-dimensional virtual object in three-dimensional space can be determined. Any two reference axes intersect to form an angle of a specific size. In one embodiment, the reference axis may be the coordinate axis of the reference coordinate system of the virtual object itself. As shown in FIG. 1 above, the reference axis may include an X-axis, a Y-axis, and a Z-axis. Any two reference axes are perpendicular to each other. If the virtual object is a virtual scene, its own reference coordinate system may be the world coordinate system of the virtual scene. In one embodiment, the reference axis may be the normal axis of the surface of the virtual object. For example, if the virtual object is a tetrahedron (such as a pyramid), the normal axis of each face thereof may be used as a reference axis, and four reference axes may be obtained.

In one embodiment, the virtual object may be the current editing object in the game editing scene. Wherein, the game editing scene is an editable game scene, and the user can edit the components in the scene, the background of the scene, etc. to generate a game scene that can be used in the game. When the terminal device runs the game program, the game editing scene provided by the running game program can be displayed in the graphical user interface. The game program may be a main game program, and the game main program provides a game scene editing function (such as a game editor built into the game program). When the user uses this function, the game editing scene can be entered. Alternatively, the game program may also be a game scene editing program associated with the main game program, such as a game editor that can run independently without relying on the main game program. The user can choose to create a new game scene and edit it, or can choose to edit an existing game scene, thereby triggering entry into the game editing scene for editing operations.

The game program in this exemplary embodiment can support players to customize and edit game scenes. Therefore, the user in this article can refer to the game production staff (such as artists) of the game manufacturer, or it can refer to the player.

In one embodiment, as shown in FIG. 2 , a game editing scene to be edited and a plurality of scene component selection controls may be displayed in a graphical user interface. The game editing scene may include a scene background and generated scene components. The scene component selection control is a control for operating a scene component pre-configured in the game program. The operation of the scene component selection control can generate the corresponding scene component in the game editing scene. For example, FIG2 shows the scene component selection controls such as "block component", "cylinder component", "semi-cylinder component", etc. When the user uses these controls to operate, the corresponding block component, cylinder component, semi-cylinder component, etc. can be generated in the game editing scene.

The game program may come with multiple different scene components, such as those pre-configured by artists and stored in the game program. Alternatively, the scene components may be pre-configured by the player, such as the player may obtain scene components that are not originally in the game program by modeling in the game editing scene or other editing interface, and store them in the game program. When editing the game scene, the scene component selection controls corresponding to the above scene components may be displayed in the graphical user interface, so that the player can conveniently use these scene components to edit the scene.

When pre-configuring scene components, one or more information such as the size, position, direction, color, texture, and shape of the scene components can be configured. In this way, when users use these scene components in the game editing scene, they can directly call the configured information, which is very convenient and efficient. Of course, users can also adjust the configured information in the scene components, such as adjusting one or more of the above information to make it more in line with their needs and preferences.

The game program can display or hide the scene component selection control in the graphical user interface through preset logic, or the user can display or hide the scene component selection control in the graphical user interface through specific operations. For example, when the user selects a scene component in the game editing scene as the current editing object, the scene component selection control can be hidden, and when the user does not select any scene component, the scene component selection control can be displayed.

In one embodiment, the game editing scene can be displayed in the first screen and the second screen at the same time, and the scene component selection control can be displayed in the first screen.

In the game editing scene, the user can select a scene component for editing. The scene component is the current editing object, that is, the virtual object mentioned above.

In one embodiment, a first virtual camera and a second virtual camera may be set in a game editing scene. A virtual camera is a tool in a game program that simulates a real camera to shoot game scene images. The first virtual camera and the second virtual camera may shoot virtual objects and local scenes where virtual objects are located from different perspectives. The first field of view plane is an imaging plane of the first virtual camera, and the first picture displays a picture formed by the first virtual camera shooting the game editing scene. The second field of view plane is an imaging plane of the second virtual camera, and the second picture displays a picture formed by the second virtual camera shooting the game editing scene.

The positions of the first virtual camera and the second virtual camera can both be changed dynamically. For example, the user can control the position of the first virtual camera to dynamically change the first field of view plane, showing the effect of observing the virtual object from different angles. When the user controls the position of the first virtual camera, the position of the second virtual camera can be automatically adjusted according to the display method of the virtual object in this exemplary embodiment.

As shown in FIG3 , the game editing scene can present two different perspectives, namely, the God's perspective and the game perspective. The God's perspective refers to observing the game editing scene from a third-person perspective. As shown in FIG4A , in the God's perspective, the user can directly control the virtual camera (such as the first virtual camera) to move the perspective instead of controlling the game character in the game editing scene. The game perspective refers to observing the game editing scene from a first-person perspective. As shown in FIG4A , As shown in 4B, under the game perspective, the user can control a game character in the game editing scene, and the game character can be bound to a virtual camera (such as the first virtual camera), that is, the positional relationship between the game character and the virtual camera is fixed, for example, the game character can be located at the focus of the virtual camera, and when the user controls the game character to move, the virtual camera moves synchronously, thereby moving the perspective. Under the God's perspective or the game perspective, a virtual joystick, up or down controls, etc. can be set in the game editing scene, and the user can move the virtual camera or move the game character by operating these controls. The display method of virtual objects in this exemplary embodiment can be applied to the God's perspective or the game perspective in the game editing scene.

FIG5 shows an exemplary process of a method for displaying a virtual object, which may include the following steps S510 to S530:

Step S510, determining an invisible direction axis relative to the first field of view plane in the reference axis;

Step S520, determining a second viewing plane according to the invisible direction axis, wherein an angle between the invisible direction axis and the second viewing plane is less than or equal to a first preset angle;

Step S530: providing a second picture in the graphics and user interface, and displaying the projection of the virtual object in the second field of view plane in the second picture.

Based on the method of FIG. 5 , in addition to displaying the projection of the virtual object in the first visual plane through the first screen, an invisible direction axis relative to the first visual plane in the reference axis is determined, and a second visual plane is determined, and a second screen is provided in the graphical user interface, and the projection of the virtual object in the second visual plane is displayed through the second screen. The second visual plane can focus on presenting the information of the virtual object on the invisible direction axis, thereby effectively supplementing the missing information in the first visual plane, so that the user can obtain relatively complete information of the virtual object by viewing the two screens, and does not need to adjust the viewing angle multiple times during the viewing, control or editing process, which improves the convenience of user operation, and at the same time reduces the computing resource overhead of the device (such as a terminal device or a server for background processing, etc.), saving energy consumption.

Each step in FIG5 is described in detail below.

5 , in step S510 , an invisible direction axis relative to a first viewing plane is determined in the reference axis.

The first visual plane can only display the information of the virtual object in some directions, and will lose the information in other directions. For example, displaying the two-dimensional projection information of the virtual object in the first visual plane will cause the loss of one or more dimensions of information in the three-dimensional plane in the first visual plane. In this exemplary embodiment, the direction corresponding to the lost information is called the invisible direction, and the corresponding axis is called the invisible direction axis. It should be noted that the invisible direction can refer to a completely invisible direction. For example, when the first visual plane is parallel to the X-Y plane, the information in the Z-axis direction cannot be seen in the first visual plane, that is, the Z-axis direction is completely invisible, and the Z-axis can be determined as the invisible direction axis. The invisible direction can also refer to a direction with poor visibility. For example, referring to FIG. 1 above, when the angle between the first visual plane and the X-Y plane is very small, the first visual plane is nearly parallel to the X-Y plane, and only a little information in the Z-axis direction can be seen in the first visual plane, that is, the visibility in the Z-axis direction is poor, and the Z-axis can be determined as the invisible direction axis.

In one embodiment, the invisible direction axis can be determined in the reference axis according to the positional relationship between the reference axis and the first visual plane. The positional relationship between the reference axis and the first visual plane can be reflected by the angle between the reference axis and the first visual plane, the projection parameters of the reference axis in the first visual plane, etc. According to the positional relationship between the reference axis and the first visual plane, the visibility of the reference axis in the first visual plane can be quantified, thereby determining the reference axis with poor visibility as Invisible direction axis.

An exemplary method for determining the invisible direction axis is provided below:

Optionally, in some embodiments, referring to FIG. 6 , the step of determining the invisible direction axis relative to the first viewing plane in the reference axis may include the following steps S610 and S620:

Step S610, obtaining a projection of a reference axis in a first field of view plane to obtain a first projection axis corresponding to the reference axis;

Step S620: determining the invisible direction axis from the reference axis according to the angles between different first projection axes.

Among them, the first projection axis refers to the projection of the reference axis in the first field of view plane. For example, the X-axis, Y-axis, and Z-axis shown in Figure 1 are the projections of the X-axis, Y-axis, and Z-axis of the virtual object in the virtual scene in the first field of view plane, that is, the first projection axis.

The angle between each two first projection axes can be obtained, such as ∠XOY, ∠XOZ, and ∠YOZ in Figure 1, and the invisible direction axis can be determined according to the size of the angle. For example, if any two reference axes are perpendicular to each other, the angle closest to 90 degrees among the above angles can be determined, and the invisible direction axis can be determined in other reference axes other than the reference axis corresponding to the first projection axis forming the angle. Among the three angles in Figure 1, ∠XOY is closest to 90 degrees, which is formed by the first projection axis of the X axis and the first projection axis of the Y axis. The only other reference axis is the Z axis, so the Z axis is determined as the invisible direction axis. In this way, the invisible direction axis can be determined quickly and conveniently.

In one implementation, the step of determining the invisible direction axis from the reference axis according to the angles between different first projection axes may include the following steps:

If the included angle between the two first projection axes is smaller than the second preset angle, the invisible direction axis is determined from two reference axes corresponding to the two first projection axes.

The second preset angle is a reference angle used to measure the size of the angle between the first projection axes, which can be determined based on experience or specific circumstances. If the angle between the two first projection axes is smaller than the second preset angle, it means that the projections of the two reference axes corresponding to the two first projection axes in the first field of view plane have a relatively serious perspective transformation, and there is an invisible direction axis in the two reference axes, and one of them can be determined as the invisible direction axis, or both reference axes can be determined as the invisible direction axis.

In one embodiment, the second preset angle can be determined according to the size of the virtual object on the reference axis, and the second preset angle can be positively correlated with the size of the virtual object on the reference axis, and a linear or nonlinear mapping relationship can be presented between the two, which can be set in advance according to experience or specific needs. Since the virtual object may be an irregular shape, the size of the virtual object on the reference axis can be the maximum size of the virtual object on the reference axis, or the size of the regular shape bounding box (such as a rectangular bounding box) of the virtual object on the reference axis. Since the size of the virtual object on different reference axes may be different, the second preset angle can be determined for different reference axes. Exemplarily, the second preset angle corresponding to the X axis, the second preset angle corresponding to the Y axis, and the second preset angle corresponding to the Z axis can be determined according to the size of the virtual object on the X axis, the Y axis, and the Z axis. If ∠YOZ is less than the second preset angle corresponding to the Z axis, but not less than the second preset angle corresponding to the Y axis, it is determined that the Z axis is an invisible direction axis and the Y axis is not an invisible direction axis. The invisible direction axis determined in this way is more accurate.

In one embodiment, if the angle between the two first projection axes is equal to the two reference axes corresponding to the two first projection axes, If the difference in the angle between the reference axes is greater than the third preset angle, the invisible direction axis is determined from the two reference axes corresponding to the two first projection axes. Among them, the difference between the angle between the two first projection axes and the angle between the two reference axes corresponding to the two first projection axes represents the change in the angle before and after the two reference axes are projected on the first field of view plane, and can further characterize the degree of perspective transformation that occurs when the two reference axes are projected onto the first field of view plane. The third preset angle is a reference angle used to measure the magnitude of the angle change, which can be determined based on experience or specific circumstances. Exemplarily, as shown in FIG1 , the angle between any two of the three reference axes is 90 degrees. If the difference between the angle between the two first projection axes and 90 degrees (the absolute value of the difference can be taken) is greater than the third preset angle, the invisible direction axis is determined from the two reference axes corresponding to the two first projection axes.

In one embodiment, the invisible direction axis can be determined by taking the intersection. For example, if the angle between the first projection axis of the X-axis and the first projection axis of the Z-axis is less than the second preset angle, it is determined that there is an invisible direction axis between the X-axis and the Z-axis, and the angle between the first projection axis of the Y-axis and the first projection axis of the Z-axis is also less than the second preset angle, it is determined that there is an invisible direction axis between the Y-axis and the Z-axis, and it can be concluded that the Z-axis is the invisible direction axis. For another example, if the difference between the angle between the first projection axis of the X-axis and the first projection axis of the Z-axis and 90 degrees is greater than the third preset angle, it is determined that there is an invisible direction axis between the X-axis and the Z-axis, and the difference between the angle between the first projection axis of the Y-axis and the first projection axis of the Z-axis and 90 degrees is greater than the third preset angle, it is determined that there is an invisible direction axis between the Y-axis and the Z-axis, and it can be concluded that the Z-axis is the invisible direction axis.

In some embodiments, determining the invisible direction axis relative to the first field of view plane in the reference axis may include the following steps:

The angle between the reference axis and the first viewing plane is obtained, and the reference axis whose angle with the first viewing plane is greater than a fourth preset angle is determined as the invisible direction axis.

Among them, the angle between the reference axis and the first visual plane refers to the angle between the positive direction of the reference axis in the three-dimensional space and the first visual plane, rather than the projection angle in the first visual plane. Regarding the distinction between the positive direction and the negative direction of the reference axis, it can be generally considered that the angle between the positive direction and the first visual plane is not greater than 90 degrees, and accordingly, the angle between the negative direction and the first visual plane is not less than 90 degrees. The smaller the angle between the reference axis and the first visual plane, the better the visibility of the reference axis direction in the first visual plane, and vice versa. Therefore, a fourth preset angle can be set for the angle between the reference axis and the first visual plane as an angle threshold for measuring whether the angle is too large. The fourth preset angle can be determined based on experience or the size of the virtual object. Exemplarily, the fourth preset angle can be greater than 45 degrees, such as 60 degrees. When the fourth preset angle is greater than 45 degrees, the number of invisible direction axes can be made not more than 1.

If the angle between a certain reference axis and the first viewing plane is greater than a fourth preset angle, it means that the visibility of the reference axis direction in the first viewing plane is very poor, and the reference axis can be determined as an invisible direction axis.

In some optional embodiments, the step of determining the invisible direction axis relative to the first field of view plane in the reference axis may include the following steps:

The projection length of the reference axis in the first field of view plane is obtained, and the reference axis whose projection length is less than a preset length is determined as an invisible direction axis.

Generally, a reference axis indicates a direction and does not have a length. The projection length of the axis can be quantified, and a default length can be set for the reference axis. The default lengths of different reference axes can be the same. The longer the projection length of the reference axis in the first field of view plane, the better the visibility of the reference axis direction in the first field of view plane, and vice versa. Therefore, a preset length can be set for the projection length of the reference axis in the first field of view plane as a length threshold for measuring whether the projection length is too small. The preset length can be determined based on the default length of the reference axis and combined with experience, such as the preset length can be 1/2 of the default length.

If the projection length of a reference axis in the first viewing plane is less than a preset length, it means that the visibility of the reference axis direction in the first viewing plane is very poor, and the reference axis can be determined as an invisible direction axis.

The above illustrates how to determine the invisible direction axis through a variety of exemplary methods. Parameters such as the angle of the first projection axis, the angle between the reference axis and the first field of view plane, and the projection length of the reference axis in the first field of view plane are easy to obtain. Combined with threshold conditions such as the second preset angle, the third preset angle, the fourth preset angle, and the preset length, the invisible direction axis can be determined relatively simply and quickly.

It should be understood that the above threshold conditions such as the second preset angle, the third preset angle, the fourth preset angle, the preset length, etc. are equivalent to setting absolute conditions for the invisible direction axis. In other words, there may be a situation where there is no invisible direction axis, such as when the angle between any two first projection axes is not less than the second preset angle, or the difference between the angle between any two first projection axes and the angle between the corresponding two reference axes is not greater than the third preset angle, or the angle between any reference axis and the first visual plane is less than the fourth preset angle, or the projection length of any reference axis in the first visual plane is not less than the preset length, etc., it is determined that there is no invisible direction axis in the reference axis.

In one embodiment, the direction axis with the worst visibility of the reference axis in the first field of view plane can be determined as the invisible direction axis to ensure that the invisible direction axis always exists. For example, the angle between every two first projection axes is obtained, and the invisible direction axis is determined in the two reference axes corresponding to the two first projection axes with the smallest angle. Alternatively, the difference between the angle between every two first projection axes and the angle between the corresponding two reference axes is obtained, and the invisible direction axis is determined in the two reference axes corresponding to the two first projection axes with the largest difference in angle. Alternatively, the reference axis with the largest angle with the first field of view plane is determined as the invisible direction axis. Alternatively, the reference axis with the smallest projection length in the first field of view plane is determined as the invisible direction axis.

When the invisible direction axis is determined, referring to FIG. 5 , in step S520 , the second viewing plane is determined according to the invisible direction axis, and the angle between the invisible direction axis and the second viewing plane is less than or equal to the first preset angle.

Among them, the angle between the invisible direction axis and the second field of view plane can be the angle between the positive direction of the invisible direction axis and the second field of view plane. Regarding the distinction between the positive direction and the negative direction of the invisible direction axis, it can be generally considered that the angle between the positive direction and the second field of view plane is not greater than 90 degrees, and accordingly, the angle between the negative direction and the second field of view plane is not less than 90 degrees. Setting the angle between the invisible direction axis and the second field of view plane to be less than or equal to the first preset angle can ensure that the invisible direction axis has good visibility in the second field of view plane. The first preset angle can be determined based on experience or specific needs. Exemplarily, the first preset angle can be 0 degrees. Alternatively, the first preset angle can be equal to the difference between 90 degrees and the fourth preset angle. For example, if the fourth preset angle is 60 degrees, the first preset angle is 30 degrees.

In one implementation, any plane whose included angle with the invisible direction axis is less than or equal to the first preset angle may be used as the second field of view plane.

In one implementation, the determining of the second viewing plane according to the invisible direction axis may include the following steps:

The invisible direction axis and any other reference axis form a reference plane, and a plane parallel to the reference plane is used as the second field of view plane.

Among them, for the plane formed by the invisible direction axis and any other reference axis, the angle between the invisible direction axis and the plane is 0 degrees, indicating that the invisible direction axis has the best visibility in the plane. For example, if the Z axis is determined to be the invisible direction axis, the X-Z plane or the Y-Z plane can be used as the above reference plane, and the second field of view plane can be determined in the parallel plane of the reference plane, and the information of the Z axis can be fully observed in the second field of view plane. As shown in Figure 1, the plane parallel to the Y-Z plane is used as the second field of view plane.

Based on the condition that the angle between the invisible direction axis and the second field of view plane is less than or equal to the first preset angle, the angle of the second field of view plane can be determined. Usually, a second field of view plane cannot be uniquely determined, but a group of parallel planes can be determined. Therefore, the distance between the second field of view plane and the virtual object can also be determined, thereby determining the position of the second field of view plane, so that a second field of view plane can be uniquely determined. By determining the appropriate distance, the virtual object can be made to appear at an appropriate size in the second field of view plane.

In one embodiment, when determining the second field of view plane according to the invisible direction axis, it can also be determined that the distance between the second field of view plane and the virtual object is the same as the distance between the first field of view plane and the virtual object. For example, in FIG1 , the distance d between the virtual object 130 and the first field of view plane can be obtained, and after determining the Y-Z plane as the reference plane, the Y-Z plane is moved along its normal direction (i.e., the X-axis direction) by a length of d to obtain the second field of view plane. In this way, based on the perspective relationship, the proportion of the virtual object in the first screen is the same or similar to its proportion in the second screen, so that the user's visual experience of watching the first screen and the second screen at the same time is more harmonious.

In one embodiment, when the second viewing plane is determined according to the invisible direction axis, the distance between the second viewing plane and the virtual object can also be determined as a preset distance. The preset distance can be determined according to parameters such as the viewing size and focal length of the second virtual camera, so that when the virtual object is observed at the default distance, the proportion of the virtual object in the second picture is more appropriate.

In one embodiment, after determining the second field of view plane according to the invisible direction axis, the method further includes:

According to the second field of view plane and the position of the virtual object, a target posture of the second virtual camera is determined, and the second virtual camera is adjusted to the target posture.

Among them, determining the second field of view plane according to the invisible direction axis refers to determining the angle of the second field of view plane, thereby determining the angle (or posture) of the second virtual camera. According to the position of the virtual object, the position of the second virtual camera can be determined, such as placing the virtual object at a preset distance directly in front of the field of view of the second virtual camera (that is, the virtual object is located on the optical axis of the second virtual camera, and the distance from the second virtual camera is equal to the preset distance) or at a distance equal to the distance between the first field of view plane and the virtual object, thereby calculating the position of the second virtual camera. Combining the position and angle, the target posture of the second virtual camera can be obtained. The target posture refers to the posture that can display the invisible direction information of the virtual object. Adjust the second virtual camera to the target posture, shoot the virtual object and the local scene where it is located in the target posture, the viewing angle and viewing distance are relatively suitable, and the shot picture can be displayed in the second picture.

5, in step S530, a second screen is provided in the graphical user interface. Displays the projection of the virtual object in the second field of view.

In one embodiment, when it is determined that there is an invisible direction axis, the second picture can be displayed in the graphical user interface, such as displaying the second picture in the form of a window. When it is determined that there is no invisible direction axis, the second picture can be hidden. In one embodiment, the axis with the worst visibility in the first visual plane among the reference axes can always be determined as the invisible direction axis, that is, when the invisible direction axis always exists, the second picture can always be displayed.

In one embodiment, the second screen can be fixedly displayed in the graphical user interface, or the second screen can be fixedly displayed when the virtual object to be displayed is determined (such as when the user selects a virtual object as the virtual object to be displayed), that is, the second screen can be displayed regardless of whether the invisible direction axis exists. Wherein, when it is determined that the invisible direction axis exists, the projection of the virtual object in the second field of view plane can be displayed in the second screen. When it is determined that the invisible direction axis does not exist, other information can be displayed in the second screen, such as attribute information of the virtual object, map information of the virtual scene, etc.

As shown in FIG1 , the Z axis is determined as the invisible direction axis, the parallel plane of the Y-Z plane is determined as the second field of view plane, and the projection of the virtual object 130 in the second field of view plane is obtained to be displayed in the second screen 120. From the second screen 120, the information of the virtual object 130 in the Z axis direction can be fully seen. In contrast, it is difficult for the user to clearly see the size or position of the virtual object 130 in the Z axis direction in the first screen 110, while the user can clearly see this information in the second screen 120. The second screen 120 effectively supplements the display information of the first screen 110. Through the combination of the first screen 110 and the second screen 120, the user can obtain the information of the virtual object 130 more completely.

In one embodiment, the virtual object is a three-dimensional virtual object, the first screen displays the two-dimensional projection of the three-dimensional virtual object in the first field of view plane, and the second screen displays the two-dimensional projection of the three-dimensional virtual object in the second field of view plane. Through the complementarity of the two-dimensional projections in the two field of view planes, the three-dimensional information of the three-dimensional virtual object can be more fully displayed.

In one embodiment, the virtual object is a current editing object in a game editing scene. The method for displaying the virtual object may further include the following steps:

In response to an editing operation on a current editing object in the first screen or the second screen, the editing process of the editing operation is synchronously displayed on the first screen and the second screen.

The editing operation may include but is not limited to: zooming operation, moving operation, rotating operation, shape adjustment operation, color or texture editing operation, etc. The user can perform editing operations on the current editing object in the first screen or the second screen. For example, if the first screen is the main interface, it can be set that editing operations can only be performed in the first screen, and editing operations cannot be performed in the second screen. When performing editing operations, the editing process of the editing operation, such as the zooming process, moving process, rotation process, etc., is synchronously displayed in the first screen and the second screen, so that the user can obtain information about the editing process from the two interfaces to see the real-time three-dimensional information of the current editing object, thereby facilitating accurate editing operations.

FIG. 7 shows a situation where a user performs a zooming operation. When the user controls the virtual object 130 to zoom along the Z axis, The zooming process can be displayed in the first screen 110, but it is difficult to clearly see the zooming effect through the first screen 110. The zooming process is synchronously displayed in the second screen 120, and the user can clearly see the size of the zoom along the Z axis, thereby facilitating accurate zooming operations to accurately zoom to the size the user wants.

Figure 8 shows a situation in which a user performs a moving operation. When the user controls the virtual object 130 to move along a certain direction in the X-Z plane, the moving process can be displayed in the first screen 110, but it is difficult to clearly see through the first screen 110 where the virtual object is after the movement on the Z axis. The zooming process is synchronously displayed in the second screen 120, and the user can clearly see where the virtual object is after the movement on the Z axis, thereby facilitating accurate moving operations to precisely move the virtual object to the position the user wants.

In actual applications, the graphical user interface includes a first interactive control. After the second interactive control is triggered by the terminal device, the game scene information corresponding to the first screen can be generated. The game scene information includes component information of the virtual object in the first screen, such as the size information, color information, and position information of the virtual object in the game scene. The game scene information can be saved in a preset storage location, which can be a map file. The map file can not only save the game scene information, but also save other map information (including but not limited to screenshots, map names, logs, etc.). After the map file saves the game scene information, it will be uploaded to the server. After the server passes the review, the game scene generated by the game scene information can be published in the preset map pool, so that the terminal device connected to the server can download the corresponding game scene information from the server, and generate the corresponding game scene according to the game scene information through the game program, and then experience the game in the game scene. In this way, the game scene information in the game editor can be published and experienced by other players, thereby realizing a fast UGC (User Generation Content) function.
