Detailed Description

In order to make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention more apparent, the following detailed description of the technical solutions of the present invention is provided with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples. It is to be understood that the embodiments described are only a few embodiments of the present application and not all embodiments. All other embodiments, which can be derived by a person skilled in the art from the examples given herein without making any creative effort, shall fall within the protection scope of the present application.

Referring to fig. 1, an embodiment of the present invention provides a method for generating a 3D text, including the following steps:

acquiring contour information of the 2D characters, wherein the contour information comprises a contour point coordinate set and a contour index list;

performing triangulation according to the contour information to obtain 2D vertex data;

obtaining 3D vertex data according to the preset character thickness and the 2D vertex data;

and generating 3D characters according to the 3D vertex data.

The method for generating the 3D characters comprises the steps of firstly obtaining outline information of the 2D characters, then carrying out triangulation according to the outline information to obtain 2D vertex data, and then obtaining the 3D vertex data according to preset character thickness and the 2D vertex data; and finally, generating 3D characters according to the 3D vertex data. When the scheme of the application generates the 3D characters, the vertex data of the 2D outline is obtained by carrying out triangulation according to the 2D outline information, then the vertex data of the 3D character outline is constructed according to the preset character thickness and the 2D vertex data, the 3D characters are generated according to the 3D vertex data finally, the generated 3D characters are clear, and the effect that the generated 3D characters are changed by changing the preset character thickness by a user is very convenient.

As a supplementary explanation to the above-described embodiment, acquiring the outline information of the 2D text includes: receiving 2D content input by a user, wherein the 2D content is used for being added into a video and comprises at least one 2D character; and identifying the outline of each 2D character to obtain an outline point coordinate set and an outline index list of each 2D character under the corresponding font. Illustratively, the contour of each 2D word is identified using the Freetype2 library. Freetype2 is a software font engine intended to be small, efficient, highly customizable and portable, while producing high quality output (glyph images). It can also be used in graphics libraries, display servers, font conversion tools, text image generation tools, and many other products.

In some embodiments, triangulating the 2D vertex data according to the contour information comprises:

and performing triangulation on the profile information by adopting an OpenGL open source GLU library. OpenGL: (English: Open Graphics Library, translation name: Open Graphics Library or "Open Graphics Library") is a cross-language, cross-platform Application Programming Interface (API) for rendering 2D, 3D vector Graphics. This interface consists of nearly 350 different function calls to draw from simple graphics bits to complex three-dimensional scenes. Glu library: the method is an auxiliary library for mathematical correlation operation in OpenGL.

Further, the step of performing triangulation according to the contour information to obtain 2D vertex data includes:

sending the contour point coordinate set and the contour index list to a tesselator for division, wherein basic elements in the tesselator are set to be triangles; obtaining newly-added vertex data after the division from the success callback of the tesselator; and adding the vertex data to the contour point coordinate set to obtain 2D vertex data.

As an optional implementation manner of the embodiment of the present invention: obtaining 3D vertex data according to the preset text thickness and the 2D vertex data comprises the following steps:

taking the 2D vertex data as the coordinates and index data in front of the 3D characters; obtaining subsequent coordinates and index data according to the preset thickness; constructing coordinates and index data required by each side of the 3D characters according to the coordinates and the index data of the front and the back; the coordinates and index data of the front and back faces and the respective side faces are 3D vertex data. For example, as shown in fig. 2, a1 is a front vertex, a2 is a rear vertex, and a rear coordinate data can be automatically determined according to the preset thickness and the front coordinate data input by the user. Then 4 sides of data are generated from the front and back coordinate data to construct 3D vertex data.

Further, the 3D vertex data is generated into 3D text using OpenGL. Specifically, 3D vertex data is input into a coordinate system, and a 3D contour is obtained by using OpenGL rendering; the obtained 3D outline is as shown in fig. 2, and rendering settings input by a user are received to render the 3D outline to generate 3D characters, wherein the rendering settings include illumination, material, character color, diffuse reflection and refraction attribute settings. By means of OpenGL rendering and other technologies, efficient and stable drawing of the 3D characters is achieved, and a user can make the highly user-defined 3D characters and add animation, special effects, key frames and other additional editing to the 3D characters. In addition, the reality sense of sight of the 3D characters is further optimized by supporting the addition of materials and illumination effects to the 3D characters.

Finally, acquiring the input sequence of each 2D character; and after the 3D characters are generated, sequencing the generated 3D characters according to the input sequence. It can be understood that under normal conditions, the 3D characters generated by the input characters are all placed at the same position, so that the characters can be stacked in an overlapping mode and are not beneficial to display, therefore, the characters are sorted according to the input sequence, and the characters cannot be stacked or displayed. Illustratively, the 3D generation is performed according to the input sequence, and the placing position of the 3D character generated later is separated from the placing position of the 3D character generated earlier by a preset distance, which may be set according to the actual situation, and will not be described in detail herein.

To further explain the solution of the present application, as shown in fig. 3, a specific method for generating 3D text at a mobile terminal is provided, where the mobile terminal includes mobile devices such as a mobile phone and a pad, and the method specifically includes the following steps:

1. contour information of the 2D character is acquired. 2. And carrying out triangulation to obtain a plurality of triangular surfaces. 3. The two-dimensional vertices build a three-dimensional structure 4. the 3D characters are rendered using OpenGL. 5. Generating arbitrary content 3D text using 3D characters

The specific implementation steps are as follows:

(1) obtaining outline information of the 2D text.

(2) Triangulating to obtain a plurality of triangular faces

And carrying out triangle division on the set of contour points obtained in the first step. The invention adopts an OpenGL open source GLU library to carry out triangulation.

And finally, adding the newly added vertex data into the font outline point set in sequence to obtain the completely triangulated vertex data.

(3) Two-dimensional vertex construction of three-dimensional structures

When the contour data obtained in the step 2 is used as the front face of the 3D character and the character thickness is set, the vertex coordinates and the index of the back face can be obtained by sequentially changing the z-axis of the coordinates (x-axis coordinates and y-axis coordinates are unchanged, and the character thickness is added to the z-axis coordinates) in order from the vertex coordinates and the index of the front face. And then, according to the coordinates and indexes of the front side and the back side, the vertex coordinates and indexes needed by 4 sides can be constructed, and all vertex data needed by constructing the 3D structure can be obtained.

(4) Rendering 3D text using OpenGL

1. And inputting all the obtained vertex coordinates into a vertex coordinate system, and rendering the 3D characters in an OpenGL environment. The rendered character is only a 3D outline, the effect of the 3D character is rough due to the lack of illumination and material information, and the direct distinguishing degree of the surface is not large.

2. And adding illumination in an OpenGL environment, setting material information including the color, diffuse reflection and refraction attributes of the characters for the character model, and rendering at the moment to obtain the vivid 3D characters.

(5) Generating arbitrary content 3D text using 3D characters
