The method may be executed by a computer device, where the computer device may be a terminal or a server, or the computer device may include the terminal and the server. As shown in fig. 4, the method for displaying pictures in a virtual scene includes:

step 401, displaying a virtual scene picture, where the virtual scene picture includes a first virtual vehicle.

Step 402, displaying a first auxiliary picture in a virtual scene picture; the first auxiliary picture is a picture which takes a first target virtual vehicle as a focus and is shot by a virtual camera arranged corresponding to the first virtual vehicle; the first target virtual vehicle is a virtual vehicle having a smallest relative distance to the first virtual vehicle, and the relative distance is equal to or less than the first distance.

And 403, in response to that the virtual vehicle which has the smallest relative distance with the first virtual vehicle and the relative distance of which is less than or equal to the first distance is converted into a second target virtual vehicle, displaying a second auxiliary picture in the virtual scene picture, wherein the second auxiliary picture is a picture which is shot by a virtual camera arranged corresponding to the first virtual vehicle and takes the second target virtual vehicle as a focus.

Fig. 5 is a flowchart illustrating a method for displaying a picture in a virtual scene according to an exemplary embodiment of the present application. The method may be executed by a computer device, where the computer device may be a terminal or a server, or the computer device may include the terminal and the server. As shown in fig. 5, taking the computer device as a terminal as an example, the terminal may present the auxiliary screen on the virtual scene screen by performing the following steps.

Step 501, displaying a virtual scene picture.

In the embodiment of the application, the terminal displays a virtual scene picture containing a first virtual vehicle.

The virtual scene picture can be a virtual scene which contains the first virtual vehicle and is in racing competition with other virtual vehicles. The first virtual vehicle is a virtual vehicle controlled by the terminal, and the other virtual vehicles may be other terminal-controlled or AI-controlled virtual vehicles.

In one possible implementation, the virtual scene is a virtual scene viewed from a third personal perspective of the first virtual vehicle. The third person weighing visual angle of the first virtual vehicle is a visual angle corresponding to the main picture virtual camera arranged at the rear upper part of the first virtual vehicle, and the virtual scene picture observed by the third person weighing visual angle of the first virtual vehicle is a virtual scene picture observed by the main picture virtual camera arranged at the rear upper part of the first virtual vehicle.

Or the virtual scene picture is a virtual scene picture observed from a first-person perspective of the first virtual vehicle. The first person perspective of the first virtual vehicle is a perspective corresponding to the main picture virtual camera arranged at the driver position of the first virtual vehicle, and the virtual scene picture observed at the first person perspective of the first virtual vehicle is a virtual scene picture observed at the main picture virtual camera arranged at the driver position of the first virtual vehicle.

In a possible implementation manner, a virtual scene picture is displayed in a display area of the terminal in a full manner, the virtual scene picture is a main display picture for controlling a first virtual vehicle to perform a racing game in a virtual scene, and is used for displaying a path picture of the first virtual vehicle in the racing game process, and a user controls the first virtual vehicle by acquiring the path picture in front.

Wherein, control or display information is superposed on the virtual scene picture.

For example, the controls may include a direction control for receiving a trigger operation to control a moving direction of the first virtual vehicle, a brake control for receiving a trigger operation to control the first virtual vehicle to brake, an acceleration control for controlling the first virtual vehicle to move in an accelerated manner, and the like. The display information may include account id identifiers corresponding to the first virtual vehicle and other virtual vehicles, ranking information of the sequence of the positions of the virtual vehicles at the current time, a map used for indicating a complete virtual scene, map information of the positions of the virtual vehicles on the map, and the like.

In one possible implementation manner, a perspective switching control is superimposed on the virtual scene picture, and in response to a user's specified operation on the perspective switching control, the virtual scene picture can be switched between a first person perspective of the first virtual vehicle and a third person perspective of the first virtual vehicle.

For example, when the virtual scene picture displayed by the terminal is a virtual scene picture corresponding to the first-person perspective of the first virtual vehicle, in response to the user's specifying operation of the perspective switching control, the terminal switches the virtual scene picture corresponding to the first-person perspective of the first virtual vehicle to a virtual scene picture corresponding to the third-person perspective; when the virtual scene picture displayed by the terminal is the virtual scene picture corresponding to the third person-name visual angle corresponding to the first virtual vehicle, the terminal switches the virtual scene picture corresponding to the third person-name visual angle of the first virtual vehicle into the virtual scene picture corresponding to the first person-name visual angle in response to the specified operation of the visual angle switching control by the user.

In a possible implementation manner, the virtual vehicles corresponding to the same user account may be a plurality of virtual vehicles of different types, and the terminal displays, on the vehicle selection interface, the virtual vehicles of different types corresponding to the virtual vehicle information in response to receiving the virtual vehicle information issued by the server. And in response to receiving the selection operation of the user on the vehicle selection interface, determining a target virtual vehicle corresponding to the selection operation, and determining the target virtual vehicle as a first virtual vehicle.

Step 502, a relative distance between the first virtual vehicle and the second virtual vehicle is obtained.

In the embodiment of the present application, the terminal acquires the relative distance between the first virtual vehicle and each of the second virtual vehicles, which are virtual vehicles located behind the first virtual vehicle.

In one possible implementation, by acquiring a rear reference line of a first virtual vehicle, an area that does not exceed the rear reference line is determined as being rearward of the first virtual vehicle, and each virtual vehicle located rearward of the first virtual vehicle is determined as a second virtual vehicle.

The vehicle tail reference line of the first virtual vehicle is a straight line where the vehicle tail of the first virtual vehicle is located, is parallel to a horizontal plane in the virtual scene, and is perpendicular to a connecting line of the vehicle head and the vehicle tail of the first virtual vehicle.

In one possible implementation, a length of a connection line between a rear of the first virtual vehicle and a center point of the second virtual vehicle is determined as the relative distance.

Wherein the center point of the second virtual vehicle may be the center of gravity of the virtual vehicle. And the calculated relative distance refers to the distance in the virtual scene.

Step 503, determining a target virtual vehicle from the second virtual vehicles based on the relative distance between the first virtual vehicle and the at least one second virtual vehicle.

In the embodiment of the application, the terminal judges whether the relative distance meets a specified condition or not based on the determined relative distance between each second virtual vehicle and the first virtual vehicle, when the relative distance meets the specified condition, the second virtual vehicle corresponding to the relative distance is determined to be the target virtual vehicle, and if the relative distance does not meet the specified condition, the target virtual vehicle does not exist at the current moment.

In one possible implementation, only one target virtual vehicle, or no target virtual vehicles, are present at the same time.

In one possible implementation, a second virtual vehicle that satisfies both that a relative distance to the first virtual vehicle is equal to or less than the first distance and that the relative distance is the smallest is determined as the target virtual vehicle.

1) Firstly, virtual vehicles to be selected are obtained, and a target virtual vehicle is determined from the virtual vehicles to be selected. And then, determining the candidate virtual vehicle with the smallest relative distance with the first virtual vehicle as the target virtual vehicle.

The candidate virtual vehicle is a second virtual vehicle, and the relative distance between the candidate virtual vehicle and the first virtual vehicle is smaller than or equal to the first distance. The candidate virtual vehicles may be a set of partial second virtual vehicles that satisfy a condition that the relative distance is equal to or less than the first distance.

For example, if the first distance is 100 meters, when it is acquired that a second virtual vehicle behind a first virtual vehicle in the virtual scene, the relative distance of which to the first virtual vehicle is less than or equal to 100 meters, has a virtual vehicle a, a virtual vehicle b, and a virtual vehicle c, the virtual vehicle a, the virtual vehicle b, and the virtual vehicle c are acquired as virtual vehicles to be selected. And comparing the relative distances between the three virtual vehicles to be selected and the first virtual vehicle, and if the relative distance corresponding to the virtual vehicle A is 60 meters, the relative distance corresponding to the virtual vehicle B is 30 meters, and the relative distance corresponding to the virtual vehicle C is 100 meters, determining the virtual vehicle B with the minimum relative distance as the target virtual vehicle.

2) First, a second virtual vehicle whose relative distance from the first virtual vehicle is smallest is acquired, and then, in response to the relative distance between the second virtual vehicle and the first virtual vehicle being equal to or less than the first distance, the second virtual vehicle is determined as a target virtual vehicle.

For example, when a virtual vehicle a, a virtual vehicle b and a virtual vehicle c are obtained behind a first virtual vehicle in a virtual scene, the relative distances between the virtual vehicle a, the virtual vehicle b and the virtual vehicle c and the first virtual vehicle are obtained, the relative distances between three virtual vehicles to be selected and the first virtual vehicle are compared, if the relative distance corresponding to the virtual vehicle a is 105 meters, the relative distance corresponding to the virtual vehicle b is 110 meters, and the relative distance corresponding to the virtual vehicle c is 120 meters, the virtual vehicle with the smallest relative distance is determined to be the virtual vehicle a, and then whether the virtual vehicle a is smaller than or equal to the first distance is determined, if the first distance is 100 meters, it is determined that the virtual vehicle a does not conform to the target virtual vehicle at the current time. If the first distance is 105 meters, judging that the virtual vehicle A meets the condition that the first distance is less than or equal to the first distance, and determining that the target virtual vehicle at the current moment is the virtual vehicle A.

In step 504, a first obtuse angle between the direction of the target lens and a vehicle tail reference line is obtained.

In the embodiment of the present application, a virtual camera for taking an auxiliary screen is provided obliquely above the first virtual vehicle, and the virtual camera moves along with the first virtual vehicle. The terminal obtains a first obtuse angle between the target lens direction corresponding to the virtual camera and a vehicle tail reference line of the first virtual vehicle.

The target lens direction is a direction pointing to the central point of the target virtual vehicle from the virtual camera, the vehicle tail reference line is a straight line where the vehicle tail of the first virtual vehicle is located, and the vehicle tail reference line is parallel to the horizontal plane and is perpendicular to a connecting line of the vehicle head and the vehicle tail of the first virtual vehicle.

For example, fig. 6 is a schematic diagram of a setting position of a virtual camera for capturing an auxiliary picture according to an embodiment of the present application. As shown in fig. 6, when there is the first virtual vehicle 621 and the target virtual vehicle 631 in the virtual scene, it can be determined that the virtual camera 611 is positioned right in front of the first virtual vehicle 621 from the top view. If there is a first virtual vehicle 622 and a target virtual vehicle 632 in the virtual scene, it can be determined from the side view that the virtual camera 612 is located in front of and above the first virtual vehicle 622.

Wherein the virtual camera may also be located at the top left of the first virtual object.

For example, fig. 7 is a schematic diagram illustrating an obtuse angle determining process between a target lens direction and a vehicle tail reference line according to an embodiment of the present application. As shown in fig. 7, a relative distance 76 between a first virtual vehicle 72 and a second virtual vehicle 73 is determined by connecting the rear end of the first virtual vehicle 72 with a central point of the second virtual vehicle 73, the second virtual vehicle is determined to be a target virtual vehicle 73 by judging the relative distance, a straight line parallel to a horizontal plane and perpendicular to a connecting line of the rear ends of the vehicle heads is made through the rear end of the first virtual vehicle 72, the straight line is acquired as a rear reference line 75 of the first virtual vehicle 72, and then the connecting line is made through the virtual camera 71 to the central point of the target virtual vehicle 73, the pointing direction of the connecting line is taken as a target lens direction 74 of the virtual camera 71, wherein the target lens direction 74 and the rear reference line 75 of the first virtual vehicle 72 intersect to form four included angles including two acute angles and two obtuse angles, and the angles of the two acute angles are the same, the two obtuse angles have the same angle, and the first obtuse angle 77 is obtained.

Step 505, in response to the first obtuse angle being less than or equal to the first angle, a first lens direction of the virtual camera is determined based on the position of the target virtual vehicle.

In the embodiment of the application, in response to that the first obtuse angle acquired by the terminal is smaller than or equal to the first angle, a first lens direction of the virtual camera is determined based on the position of the target virtual vehicle, where the first lens direction is a lens direction in which the virtual camera actually shoots a virtual scene.

In one possible implementation manner, the first lens direction is determined as the target lens direction in response to that the first obtuse angle acquired by the terminal is smaller than or equal to the first angle.

For example, fig. 8 is a schematic diagram of a lens direction determination process according to an embodiment of the present application. As shown in fig. 8, if the first angle 83 is 165 degrees, when the target virtual vehicle moves to the position shown by the dotted line in the figure, the angle of the first obtuse angle formed by the intersection between the target lens direction and the rear reference line of the first virtual vehicle 82 is 165 degrees, when the target virtual vehicle 86 is in the position shown in the figure, the first obtuse angle 84 formed by the intersection between the target lens direction and the rear reference line of the first virtual vehicle 82 is, and when the first obtuse angle 84 is compared with the first angle 83, the first obtuse angle 84 can be determined to be smaller than the first angle 83, so that the first lens direction is determined to be the target lens direction.

In response to the first obtuse angle being greater than the first angle, a second lens orientation of the virtual camera is determined, step 506.

In this embodiment of the application, if the first obtuse angle acquired by the response terminal is greater than the first angle, it is determined that the second lens direction of the virtual camera is the lens direction in which the virtual camera actually shoots the virtual scene.

In one possible implementation, the second lens direction points between the target lens direction and the vehicle tail pointing direction, and a second obtuse angle between the second lens direction and the vehicle tail reference line is a first angle, and the vehicle tail pointing direction is a direction pointing from the vehicle head to the vehicle tail of the first virtual vehicle.

For example, as shown in fig. 8, if the first angle 83 is 165 degrees, when the target virtual vehicle moves to the position shown by the dotted line in the figure, the angle of the second obtuse angle formed by the intersection between the target lens direction and the reference line of the tail of the first virtual vehicle 82 is 165 degrees, when the target virtual vehicle 87 is in the position shown in the figure, the intersection between the target lens direction and the reference line of the tail of the first virtual vehicle 82 is the first obtuse angle 85, and when the first obtuse angle 85 is compared with the first angle 83, the first obtuse angle 85 can be determined to be greater than the first angle 83, so that the first lens direction is determined as the corresponding target lens direction when the second obtuse angle is the first angle.

In step 507, in response to the auxiliary picture being displayed in the virtual scene picture, a picture display timer is started.

In the embodiment of the present application, the frame display timer is started at the same time when the auxiliary frame starts to be displayed in the virtual scene frame.

The picture display timer is used for recording the duration of continuous display of the auxiliary picture in the virtual scene picture, or the picture display timer can also be used for recording the duration of display of the auxiliary picture with the same focus.

In one possible implementation manner, in response to determining that the target virtual vehicle exists in the second virtual vehicle, the display of the auxiliary picture in the virtual scene picture is started, and meanwhile, the timing function of the picture display timer is started, and the display duration of the auxiliary picture is recorded.

The auxiliary picture can be displayed in any area on the virtual scene picture, the size of the auxiliary picture can be adjusted, and a user can perform custom setting or selection on the position of the auxiliary picture on the virtual scene picture and the size of the auxiliary picture display on the picture setting interface.

In one possible implementation manner, in response to the existence of the target virtual vehicle, the screen display timer is used for timing, and if the terminal receives feedback that the target virtual vehicle does not exist at the moment, the timing function of the screen display timer is ended, and the screen display timer is reset.

For example, if a terminal determines a target virtual vehicle through calculation at a certain time, a screen display timer starts to be started and performs timing, when the duration of the target virtual vehicle is continuously determined to be 3 seconds, the duration of the timing performed by the screen display timer is 3 seconds, if 5 seconds pass, the target virtual vehicle exceeds the first virtual vehicle, and it is not determined through calculation that other virtual vehicle conforming conditions exist as the target virtual vehicle, the timing function of the screen display timer is ended, and the timing duration of the timer is reset.

In one possible implementation, in response to the presentation time of the virtual scene picture being greater than the third duration, the auxiliary picture is presented in the virtual scene picture.

And the terminal starts to detect and determine the target virtual vehicle in real time after the time length recorded by the timer exceeds the third time length.

For example, taking a racing game as an example, when each virtual vehicle enters a race, the race is automatically performed to start countdown, when the countdown is finished, the racing mode is formally entered, the auxiliary picture is not displayed within a third time length when the racing mode is started, or the calculation and determination step of the target virtual vehicle is not performed, and when the starting time length of the racing mode exceeds the third time length, the auxiliary picture is displayed based on the target virtual vehicle.

In another possible implementation, in response to a distance between the first virtual vehicle from the position where the movement is started to the current position being greater than a specified distance, an auxiliary screen is presented in the virtual scene screen.

Since each virtual vehicle starts to move from the same starting line at the starting point starting position, a phenomenon that a target virtual object changes frequently may exist at the starting stage, and both the above two modes are used for controlling the first virtual vehicle not to display the auxiliary picture near the starting point starting position, so that meaningless auxiliary picture display can be avoided, and terminal resources are saved.

In one possible implementation, in response to the relative distance between the target virtual vehicle and the first virtual vehicle being less than or equal to the second distance, the lens direction of the virtual camera is maintained, and the auxiliary picture in the lens direction captured by the virtual camera is shown on the virtual scene picture.

When the relative distance between the first virtual vehicle and the target virtual vehicle is very close and reaches a second distance which is a minimum effective distance corresponding to the lens of the virtual camera, at the moment, the lens of the virtual camera stops moving along with the position of the target virtual vehicle and keeps still, the lens focus of the virtual camera is still the target virtual vehicle, and if the relative distance between the target virtual vehicle and the first virtual vehicle is larger than the second distance, the lens direction of the virtual camera continues to move along with the target virtual vehicle.

Step 508, in response to the target virtual vehicle being switched from the first target virtual vehicle to the second target virtual vehicle during the auxiliary screen display, resetting the screen display timer.

In the embodiment of the application, when the auxiliary picture has already been displayed in the virtual scene picture, in the process of moving each virtual vehicle, when the virtual vehicle behind the first virtual vehicle and having the smallest relative distance to the first virtual vehicle changes, and the first target virtual vehicle changes into the second target virtual vehicle, the picture display timer needs to be reset and cleared.

Wherein the first target virtual vehicle and the second target virtual vehicle are any two of the at least one second virtual vehicle.

In one possible implementation, after the target virtual vehicle is switched from the first target virtual vehicle to the second target virtual vehicle, the focus of the virtual camera is switched from the first target virtual vehicle to the second target virtual vehicle.

When the target virtual vehicle is switched from the first target virtual vehicle to the second target virtual vehicle, the virtual scene displayed in the auxiliary picture is switched from the picture shot by taking the first target virtual vehicle as a focus to the picture shot by taking the second target virtual vehicle as a focus.

For example, taking a racing game as an example, fig. 9 is a schematic view of focus switching corresponding to an auxiliary screen according to an embodiment of the present application. As shown in fig. 9, if the first virtual vehicle 93 and the second virtual vehicle 94 are provided behind the first virtual vehicle 91, the auxiliary screen 92 is displayed on the current virtual scene screen, and the relative distance between the first virtual vehicle 93 and the first virtual vehicle is the smallest at the current time, so that the auxiliary screen 92 is a screen photographed with the first virtual vehicle 93 as a focus. At a later time, the second target virtual vehicle 94 passes the first target virtual vehicle 93 and becomes a virtual vehicle having the smallest relative distance to the first virtual vehicle, and therefore the focus of the virtual camera is switched to the second target virtual vehicle to perform image capturing.

In one possible implementation manner, a line pattern for indicating the sprint effect is added on the auxiliary picture.

For example, as shown in fig. 9, the line pattern 95 of the sprint effect is located at the edge of the auxiliary screen 92, and by adding the line pattern 95 of the sprint effect, the tension of the user can be enhanced, thereby improving the operation experience of the user.

In step 509, in response to the time duration corresponding to the frame display timer reaching the first time duration, the display of the auxiliary frame is ended.

In the embodiment of the application, when the duration recorded by the terminal to obtain the picture display timer reaches the first duration, displaying the auxiliary picture on the virtual scene picture is finished.

That is, in response to the target virtual vehicle being switched from the first target virtual vehicle to the second target virtual vehicle during the auxiliary screen display, the screen display timer is reset, and when the duration of time that the focus of the virtual camera is continuously maintained on the same virtual vehicle reaches the first duration, the display of the auxiliary screen on the virtual scene screen is finished.

By the scheme, the virtual vehicle as the focus can be adjusted in real time in the auxiliary picture display process, and continuous display can be realized through smooth pictures. The method is beneficial to the user to acquire the effective position information of the rear virtual vehicle through the auxiliary picture in the operation process.

And step 510, in response to that the duration time of the first obtuse angle greater than the first angle reaches a second duration, ending displaying the auxiliary picture.

In the embodiment of the application, when the duration that the first obtuse angle between the target lens direction and the vehicle tail reference line is greater than the first angle reaches the second duration, displaying the auxiliary picture can be finished.

In a possible implementation manner, when the lens direction of the virtual camera is rotated to the maximum angle, the target virtual vehicle is in a state of being partially in the auxiliary picture or not being in the auxiliary picture at all, so in order to make the auxiliary picture show meaningful picture contents as much as possible, when the time for which the lens direction of the virtual camera is rotated to the maximum angle continuously reaches the second time length, the showing of the auxiliary picture is finished.

The second duration may be smaller than the first duration, that is, the auxiliary screen finished in the above manner may finish displaying the auxiliary screen in advance with respect to the scheme shown in step 509.

For example, fig. 10 is a schematic view of an auxiliary picture when a first obtuse angle between a target lens direction and a vehicle tail reference line is greater than a first angle according to an embodiment of the present application. As shown in fig. 10, the target virtual vehicle behind the first virtual vehicle is in a passing state, and the first obtuse angle corresponding to the target virtual vehicle is greater than the first angle, so that the displayed auxiliary screen 1001 does not include the target virtual vehicle, but only includes the screen at the edge of the track. Since the display of the course edge screen using the auxiliary screen 1001 does not have an actual gain to the user's operation, if the auxiliary screen 1001 is still finished when the display duration reaches the first duration, the terminal resources may be wasted.

Taking a virtual scene as an example of a virtual scene in a racing game, please refer to fig. 11, which shows a logic flow chart of a method for displaying a picture in a virtual scene according to an exemplary embodiment of the present application, and as shown in fig. 11, the logic flow may include the following steps:

the terminal detects whether other virtual vehicles exist in a trigger range of the first virtual vehicle, wherein the trigger range can be a range which is behind the first virtual vehicle and has a relative distance smaller than the first distance, and when the fact that the other virtual vehicles exist in a punishment range is detected, the current state of the first virtual vehicle is judged (S1101). If it is determined that the first virtual vehicle is currently in a state of just starting to rush out the starting point (S1102), the mirror function, which is a function of displaying an auxiliary screen, is not triggered (S1103). If it is determined that the first virtual vehicle is not currently in a state of just starting the run out (S1104), it is determined that the mirror function is triggered (S1105). Then, if it is determined by real-time detection that the target virtual vehicle is always within the trigger range of the first virtual vehicle (S1106), the screen of the target virtual vehicle is tracked and shot by the virtual camera (S1107), if the target virtual vehicle leaves the trigger range corresponding to the first virtual vehicle during shooting (S1108), the virtual camera is controlled to leave the tracking and shot the target virtual vehicle (S1109), and if the target virtual vehicle leaves the trigger range and returns to the trigger range of the first virtual vehicle within a predetermined time (e.g., 3 seconds) (S1110), the screen of the target virtual vehicle is continuously tracked and shot by the virtual camera (S1111). If the display duration of the auxiliary screen has reached the specified maximum display duration, which may be 3 seconds, for example, the control unit turns off the rearview mirror function and ends the display of the auxiliary screen (S1112).

Fig. 12 is a block diagram illustrating a configuration of a picture presentation apparatus in a virtual scene according to an exemplary embodiment. The picture showing device in the virtual scene can be used in a computer device to execute all or part of the steps in the method shown in the corresponding embodiment of fig. 3 or fig. 5. The picture showing device in the virtual scene can comprise:

In one possible implementation, the goal determining module 1220 includes:
