Research on Narrative Reconstruction and Cultural Expression Paths of Intangible Cultural Heritage Elements Empowered by 3D Animation Technology
This study proposes a four-stage closed-loop model—semantic analysis, form mapping, rendering, and interaction evaluation—enhanced by a dual-loop mechanism combining cultural feedback and experience optimization. Three national-level ICH elements—Nuo opera masks, Qiang flute tunes, and lacquerware patterns—are explored. A 15,000-frame action library and 3D scanning data are created, achieving frame-by-frame enhancement via Deformable Convolution, reducing error to 0.42%. A blind test with 340 participants shows increases in immersion (0.64), cultural resonance (0.51), and narrative consistency (13.7%) over the industry baseline. Regression analysis confirms a strong link between semantic depth and audience immersion. The results show that 3D animation-driven reconstruction enhances interaction and provides a measurable framework for ICH expression, offering insights for cultural inheritance and digital industry development.
