  • Patent number: 11270489
    Abstract: The present disclosure discloses an expression animation generation method performed at a computing device. The method includes: obtaining an object model of a target virtual object; obtain an object control model matching the target virtual object by adapting the obtained object model to a target skeleton, the object control model comprising a plurality of control vertices and a plurality of control skeletons; obtaining an adjustment instruction for the target virtual object; identifying a target control vertex and associated target control skeletons to be adjusted in the object control model according to the adjustment instruction; adjusting the identified target control vertex and the associated target control skeletons in the object control model according to respective control weights of the associated target control skeletons, to obtain an expression frame image of the target virtual object; and generating an expression animation of the target virtual object by using the expression frame image.

  • Patent number: 10872452
    Abstract: The present disclosure discloses an expression animation generation method performed at a computing device. The method includes: obtaining an object model of a target virtual object; adapting the obtained object model to a target skeleton, to obtain an object control model matching the target virtual object, the object control model including a control vertex and a control skeleton, each control skeleton controlling a part of an area of the object control model, and the control vertex being an intersection point of the control skeleton; adjusting the control vertex and/or the control skeleton in the object control model according to an obtained adjustment instruction, to obtain an expression frame image of the target virtual object; and generating an expression animation of the target virtual object by using the expression frame image.
