基于VR一体机的古生物三维虚拟复原软件系统设计

Design of 3D Virtual Restoration Software System of Paleontology Based on VR All-in-one Machine

古生物化石复原对于古生物、古地理、古气候等研究具有重大意义,但存在模型复原制作难度大、工艺成本高等问题。本文基于VR一体机硬件平台,利用虚拟现实技术开发了古生物三维虚拟复原软件系统。通过建模软件3DMax联合ZBrush精雕复原实物模型,基于三维引擎Unity3D与SteamVR协同开发了还原度高的三维空间程序,打造了交互物体展示和场景漫游控制相结合的“沉浸式”拟真三维操作环境。经HTCVIVE VR一体机对软件系统测试结果显示,软件运行流畅,具有很强的通用性,模型导入方便,交互功能便于二次开发扩展。

The restoration of paleontological fossils is of great significance for the study of paleontology,paleogeography and paleoclimate.But there are many problems,such as difficulty in making physical models and high process cost.Based on the VR all-in-one machine platform,this paper designs a 3D virtual restoration software system of paleontology using virtual reality technology,which restores the physical models by combining the modeling software 3DMax with ZBrush,develops a highly restored 3D space program based on the 3D engine Unity3D and SteamVR and creates an“immersive”virtual 3D operating environment that combines interactive object display and scene roaming control.The test results of the software system by HTCVIVE VR all-in-one show that the software runs smoothly with powerful generality,handy model import,and convenient interactive functions for secondary development and expansion.
