Method, and apparatus, device, and storage medium for generating effect image

An electronic device, comprising:

• one or more processors;
• and a memory configured to store one or more programs which, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to implement operations, the operations comprising:
• acquiring a character appearance image to be morphed, and a first morphing point in the character appearance image to be morphed;
• acquiring a second morphing point in a character appearance template;
• determining a target morphing point according to the second morphing point and the first morphing point;
• generating a character appearance morphing effect image based on the target morphing point;
• wherein after the target morphing point is obtained, the operations further comprise:
• constructing an ellipse of a set size by using the first morphing point as a center;
• obtaining a point of intersection of a connection line connecting the first morphing point and the target morphing point with the ellipse to determine the point of intersection as a final target morphing point in response to determining that the target morphing point falls outside the ellipse;
• and
• retaining the target morphing point in response to determining that the target morphing point falls within the ellipse.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium, storing a computer program which, when executed by a processor, causes the processor implements operations, the operations comprising:
