Abstract
A system for switching a 3D asset between art styles, including a user interface to receive an art style selection, and a 3D character software development kit (SDK) engine. The 3D character SDK engine receives a selected art style from the user interface, determines identifying characteristics of the 3D asset, removes the identifying characteristics from the 3D asset to return the 3D asset to a base figure, receives style deformations based on the selected art style, applies the style deformations to the base figure to form a new 3D asset based on the selected style, and applies the identifying characteristics to the new 3D asset based on the selected style.
Claims20
A system for switching a 3D asset between art styles, comprising:
- a user interface to receive an art style selection;
- and
- a 3D character software development kit (SDK) engine configured to:
- receive a selected art style from the user interface,
- remove customizing deformations from the 3D asset to return the 3D asset to a base 3D asset,
- receive style deformations based on the selected art style,
- apply the style deformations to the base figure to form a new 3D asset based on the selected art style, and
- apply the customizing deformations to the new 3D asset based on the selected art style.
An apparatus for switching a 3D asset between art styles, comprising:
- memory to store a 3D asset;
- and
- one or more baseband processing units configured to:
- receive a selected art style from a user interface,
- determine identifying characteristics of the 3D asset,
- remove the identifying characteristics from the 3D asset to return the 3D asset to a base figure,
- receive style deformations based on the selected art style,
- apply the style deformations to the base figure to form a new 3D asset based on the selected style, and
- apply the identifying characteristics to the new 3D asset based on the selected style.
A method for defining an artistic style of a 3D asset, comprising:
- receiving a base figure of a 3D asset;
- modifying the base figure based on an artistic style;
- receiving standard deformations of identifying characteristics for the base figure;
- modifying at least a portion of the standard deformations of the identifying characteristics to override deformations based on the artistic style and the identifying characteristic;
- and
- importing the modified base figure and override deformations into an artistic tools engine.
