Method and apparatus for controlling virtual character, computer device, and storage medium

A computer device, comprising a memory and one or more processors, the memory storing computer-readable instructions, the computer-readable instructions, when executed by the one or more processors, causing the one or more processors to perform a method for controlling a virtual character including:

• displaying at least a portion of a target virtual character in a virtual scene, the target virtual character being bound with basic bones and deformed bones, wherein the deformed bones are distinct from the basic bones and colocated with the basic bones;
• triggering a character action of the target virtual character in the virtual scene;
• when the character action comprises a character movement, controlling the target virtual character to implement the character movement in the virtual scene through a movement of a basic bone associated with the character movement;
• and
• when the character action comprises a local character deformation in a field of view of the virtual scene, controlling the target virtual character to implement the local character deformation in the virtual scene through a deformation of a deformed bone associated with the local character deformation.

One or more non-transitory computer-readable storage media storing computer-readable instructions, the computer-readable instructions, when executed by one or more processors, causing the one or more processors to perform a method for controlling a virtual character including:

• displaying at least a portion of a target virtual character in a virtual scene, the target virtual character being bound with basic bones and deformed bones, wherein the deformed bones are distinct from the basic bones and colocated with the basic bones;
• triggering a character action of the target virtual character in the virtual scene;
• when the character action comprises a character movement, controlling the target virtual character to implement the character movement in the virtual scene through a movement of a basic bone associated with the character movement;
• and
• when the character action comprises a local character deformation in a field of view of the virtual scene, controlling the target virtual character to implement the local character deformation in the virtual scene through a deformation of a deformed bone associated with the local character deformation.
