1. Application of three-dimensional interactive animation design in game design

In the field of game design, three-dimensional interactive animation is mainly used in the design and production of role-playing games. Use Maya, 3dsmax and other software to build three-dimensional models and game scenes for the game, create one or more game characters, and let the player choose his favorite game character and control the game character to run, jump, fly into the air, and fly in the virtual three-dimensional scene. Running, fighting, etc. on the water, this three-dimensional interactive animation gives players a different visual effect and experience. In order to attract players, some large-scale 3D online games have added dynamic rain and snow weather systems to the game, so that the 3D game scene can have cloudy, sunny, rainy, and snowy weather changes every few hours. They also provide an interface for players to create 3D game characters. A "face pinching system" has been added to the game, allowing players to modify the facial shape of virtual characters according to their own preferences. The "Pinch Face" system sets multiple parameters for the three-dimensional virtual character's hairstyle, eyebrows, eyes, cheekbones, bridge of nose, lips, face shape and even makeup. For example, the parameter settings for eye contour include eye position, size, and tilt angle. , eye distance, pupil size, pupil position, brow bone protrusion, eyebrow protrusion angle, eyebrow height, etc.; facial contour parameter settings include cheekbone position, cheek width, cheek height, upper face width, lower face width, and face plumpness. height, chin width, chin position and other parameters. By adjusting these parameters to different values, players can create characters with different facial images, giving players a new modeling experience, enhancing the entertainment of the game and the interaction between players and three-dimensional games. Applying three-dimensional interactive animation to somatosensory games has become a hot topic in game design in recent years. Somatosensory games use body movements to control games. Use 3D animation technology to build a virtual 3D game space and create 3D animated characters. Players change their body movements to control the game characters. This somatosensory interactive game method brings players a better gaming experience and immersion. The WII game console launched by Japan's Nintendo Game Production Company combines somatosensory interaction with three-dimensional games. It is designed with a slender handle that can be held with one hand, allowing players to hold the handle with one hand to control three-dimensional characters on the TV. The Wiimote, the controller of the WII game, has a built-in wireless sensor controller, which has motion sensing and motion tracking capabilities. Players can interact with virtual game characters by moving the position of the controller and pointing the TV screen in different directions. Nintendo Game Production Company applies three-dimensional interactive animation design to somatosensory games, making the game's operation methods more flexible and changeable, giving players a more realistic and comfortable gaming experience. For example, when players play sports games, they only need to wave the handle in their hands to make the characters in the game swing the racket. Moving the front, back, left, and right positions of the handle can control the movement and rotation of the game characters; in combat role-playing In this game, if you hold the controller and make horizontal and vertical swing movements, the three-dimensional animated characters in the game will also make corresponding slashing and slashing combat movements. A WII game console can control four game controllers, create multiple virtual characters in the game, and also enable multiple people to interact in the game. The WII game console has also become a family favorite because of its excellent interactivity and realistic three-dimensional animation effects. An indispensable game console for entertainment and friend gatherings. After seeing the success of Nintendo Game Company in somatosensory interaction technology in three-dimensional animated games, Microsoft Corporation of the United States also began to develop somatosensory interaction technology.

In 2010, Microsoft Corporation of the United States launched the Xbox 360 game console. A 3D somatosensory camera was added to this game console. It can perform real-time dynamic capture and image recognition of players in front of the game console, allowing players to completely get rid of the constraints of the game controller. Controlling 3D game characters with your own body movements brings interaction design in 3D animation games to a new level. In sports games and action games, three-dimensional animated characters can perform the same movements as the players; in dance games, players can even get rid of the shackles of the nine-square dance mat without any game accessories, as long as they follow the beat of the music. With matching body movements, you can easily immerse yourself in the joy of three-dimensional games. In the design of 3D animation games, functions such as microphone input, voice recognition, and social interaction can also be added to the game console to enhance the interactivity of 3D animation games. For example, in 3D animation games related to sports and fitness, virtual animated characters can remind and record players’ daily exercise. Players can also arrange daily exercise programs through voice input, and share the game with friends through social networking after the game is over. experience.
