Virtual-environment-based interaction method and apparatus, device, medium, and program product

A method for displaying virtual objects, the method comprising:

• receiving, by a server, an interaction request of a first virtual object with an environmental virtual object in a virtual scene of an application program from a client device, the interaction request including skin information of a skin of the first virtual object;
• determining, by the server and based on the skin information of the skin, a target form of the environmental virtual object that corresponds to the skin indicated by the skin information, the target form being determined according to the skin of the first virtual object that is one of a plurality of skins;
• and
• sending, from the server to the client device, target form information that indicates the determined target form of the environmental virtual object to be displayed by the client device, wherein
• the target form information is associated with a form change process in which an initial form of the environmental virtual object switches to the target form and subsequently the target form switches to the initial form of the environmental virtual object, the initial form of the environmental virtual object being independent from the skin of the first virtual object,
• the skin of the first virtual object is configured to change among the plurality of skins,
• the target form of the environmental virtual object changes with the skin of the first virtual object,
• the target form of the environmental virtual object changes to a first target form when the skin of the first virtual object is a first skin of the plurality of skins, and
• the target form of the environmental virtual object changes to a second target form when the skin of the first virtual object is a second skin of the plurality of skins, the first skin and the second skin being different, and the first target form and the second target form being different.

An information processing apparatus, comprising:

• processing circuitry configured to:
• display a first virtual object and an environmental virtual object in a virtual scene of an application program;
• receive, via a user input interface, a user input to control the first virtual object to interact with the environmental virtual object in the virtual scene of the application program;
• and
• control, based on an interaction with the environmental virtual object by the first virtual object and a skin of the first virtual object that is one of a plurality of skins, the display of the environmental virtual object to change to a target form, the target form being determined according to the skin of the first virtual object, wherein
• a form change process is displayed in which an initial form of the environmental virtual object switches to the target form and subsequently the target form switches to the initial form of the environmental virtual object, the initial form of the environmental virtual object being independent from the skin of the first virtual object,
• the skin of the first virtual object is configured to change among the plurality of skins,
• the target form of the environmental virtual object changes with the skin of the first virtual object,
• the target form of the environmental virtual object changes to a first target form when the skin of the first virtual object is a first skin of the plurality of skins, and
• the target form of the environmental virtual object changes to a second target form when the skin of the first virtual object is a second skin of the plurality of skins, the first skin and the second skin being different, and the first target form and the second target form being different.
