Fig. 3 is a flowchart of a three-dimensional guide map generation method according to an embodiment of the present invention, where the three-dimensional guide map is used to guide the position of a sub-map entry in a preset image, and the preset image is used to represent a preset game scene. The preset image may be an image drawn based on a game scene, for example, an original image. The game scenes may include terrain, game characters, game scenarios, and the like. The sub-map entry can be designed at any position in the preset image according to the game design requirement. As shown in fig. 3, the method comprises the steps of:

step S302, acquiring a preset image and marker information, wherein the marker information is used for representing the sub-map entrance.

Alternatively, the above-mentioned marker information may be a 3D virtual model for characterizing the entrance of the sub-map. When the player plays the game, the marker information can enter the corresponding sub-map in response to the operation instruction of the game player.

It should be noted that, in the prior art, there is usually a world map providing map guidance for a player, fig. 4A is a two-dimensional world map in the prior art, as shown in fig. 4A, the world map is usually a two-dimensional plane map, fig. 4B is a two-dimensional world map with a three-dimensional concept in the prior art, as shown in fig. 4B, it may also be a two-dimensional graph with a three-dimensional concept, so that a player can know a sub-map or a game level in a game clearly, so that the player can click on a sub-map entry on the world map according to his own actual needs, and enter another map to play the game, but the map is guided by such a display manner, which is difficult to arouse the search desire of the player and affect the game experience of the user.

However, in the embodiment of the present application, although the above-mentioned marker information is used for representing the sub-map entry, the marker information does not prompt the user that the sub-map entry is located therein like a conventional guidance map, for example, when the user selects a sub-map entry with a mouse or a finger, the model of the sub-map entry becomes large, or a special mark symbol, such as a circular button and associated text description, is set at the sub-map entry. Therefore, in the embodiment of the present application, the marker information and the target virtual model are visually integrated, and a player cannot visually determine the game entry position of the sub-map, and can determine the entry of the sub-map only by searching and trying in the guidance map.

And step S304, generating a target virtual model based on the preset image.

The target virtual model may be a three-dimensional mesh model, and optionally, after receiving the preset image, the target virtual model may draw a terrain in terrain software according to the preset image to obtain a heat map, a height map and texture information, then, the height map is input into 3D modeling software to obtain a first virtual model, and then the first virtual model, the heat map and the texture information are input into a game engine, so that a worker can view an effect of the virtual model in the 3D engine in real time and adjust the virtual model according to requirements.

Step S306, generating a three-dimensional guide map based on the target virtual model and the marker information.

The marker information may be a virtual model located on the target virtual model, and for example, if the target virtual model is a mountain model, the marker information may be a hole in the surface of the mountain. And then shooting the target virtual model and the marker information by adopting a preset virtual camera to obtain a three-dimensional guide map.

In an alternative embodiment, the three-dimensional guide map may include three-dimensional geological information, which is used to represent material information of a land surface in the game, wherein the land surface includes surfaces of mountain bodies, such as surfaces of peaks and valleys, and the material information is used to represent topographical features, such as: the weathered mountain, snow and sand on the ground surface, and the like. It should be noted that the three-dimensional guide map in the embodiment of the present application only includes geological information of a land surface, and does not include an internal structure, for example, the three-dimensional guide map may include complete geological information of a mountain surface, and a specific mountain internal map may be in a certain sub-map, and the sub-map may include elements such as a spa spring and flames.

In order to save energy consumption, the three-dimensional guide map only keeps geographic environment characteristics when the three-dimensional guide map is used in a mobile terminal, and does not include elements irrelevant to guide, including specific characteristics such as a story plot, a building, vegetation and props of a game, for example, green can be adopted to represent vegetation, but specific trees and grasslands are not drawn, if landforms such as volcanoes, deserts and partitions need to be drawn, volcanoes can be represented through burnt land and rock pulp, and deserts can be represented through yellow and hills. Fig. 5 is a schematic diagram of mountain details in the prior art and mountain details in the present application according to an embodiment of the present invention, as shown in fig. 5, black parts (except arrows) on the left side of fig. 5 represent mountain, diamonds represent details on mountain, such as buildings, vegetation or props in games, the left side of fig. 5 is used for representing a three-dimensional game map in the prior art, and the right side of fig. 5 is a game map in the present application embodiment, so that space saved from specific details is put into detail optimization of a mountain body.

In the embodiment of the present invention, after the preset image for representing the preset game scene and the marker information for representing the self-map entry are obtained, the virtual model is generated according to the preset image, and then the three-dimensional guide map is generated according to the target virtual model and the marker information, it is easy to note that only the sub-map entry is provided on the three-dimensional guide map provided by the present invention, but not a complete sub-map is provided, therefore, when the sub-map needs to be switched along with terrain iteration, the three-dimensional guide map provided by the present invention does not need to be adaptively modified, and if the complete game map has a large variation, the three-dimensional guide map can be directly generated according to the preset image and the marker information, and the guide map does not need to be generated after the complete game map is generated, thereby achieving the technical effect of improving the generation efficiency of the three-dimensional guide map, and solving the technical problem of low generation efficiency of the three-dimensional guide map in the prior art.

In the embodiment of the present application, in order to present the landscape in the target virtual model to the game player in the form of a micro-landscape after forming the bird's-eye view, a larger shooting height, for example, any shooting height greater than 300 meters, may be adopted.

And then, importing the first virtual model, the heat map and the texture information into a game engine, and attaching the texture information to a corresponding position on the first virtual model according to the position represented in the heat map to obtain a target virtual model.
