A method of generating animation includes: determining a target element based on a received first instruction, setting a target state of the target element and/or detecting a target operation on the target element, and obtaining a current state animation parameter of the target element; obtaining a target animation model among pre-stored animation models; and generating animation of the target element based on the target animation model and an initial state animation parameter of the target animation model, where the current state animation parameter is taken as the initial state animation parameter.
