1. A virtual scene switching method, performed by a terminal device having a processor and memory storing a plurality of computer programs to be executed by the processor, the method comprising:
displaying, by the terminal device, a current virtual scene and a first scene switching trigger set, a scene switching trigger being used for triggering a switch between different associated virtual scenes, and the first scene switching trigger set being a set of scene switching triggers triggering a switch from the current virtual scene to at least one associated virtual scene;
determining, by the terminal device, from the first scene switching trigger set, a target scene switching trigger of which a relative position to a target virtual object in the current virtual scene meets a predetermined position relationship;
adding, by the terminal device, a target 3D model with a shape matching that of the target scene switching trigger to a position of the target scene switching trigger, to lengthen, by using the target 3D model, a moving path passing through the target scene switching trigger; and
switching, by the terminal device, from the current virtual scene to a target virtual scene corresponding to the target scene switching trigger on the basis that the target virtual object passes through the target scene switching trigger.
