An image generating device includes: a gravity parameter changing section for changing a parameter relating to gravity of each of a plurality of rigid bodies which are constrained to one another and included in a first object based on a positional relationship between each of the plurality of rigid bodies and a second object; a physical calculation section for physically calculating a motion of each of the plurality of rigid bodies included in the first object based on the changed parameter; and an image rendering section for rendering an image representing a surface of the first object based on the motions of the plurality of rigid bodies included in the first object.

Image generating device, image generating method, and non-transitory information storage medium

An object placement managing unit () controls whether or not to change the position or direction of a first object according to a positional relationship between a passive area determined based on the position of the first object, and a judging area determined based on the position of a second object. The object placement managing unit () controls whether or not to change the position or direction of the second object according to a positional relationship between an active area determined based on the position of the first object and differing from the passive area, and the judging area.

Collision detection and motion simulation in game virtual space

An object placement managing unit changes at least one of a position and a direction of a virtual object based on a value of a parameter associated with a physical quantity that is an attribute of the virtual object. The object placement managing unit determines a first change, which corresponds to a user's operation, in a first physical quantity of the virtual object. The object placement managing unit determines a second change in a second physical quantity. The second change corresponds to and is different from the first change. The object placement managing unit changes a value of a parameter based on the first change and the second change. The object placement managing unit changes, after the value of the parameter is changed, at least one of the position and the direction of the virtual object based on the changed value of the parameter.
