To provide an image processing device capable of attaining shade expression on a surface of an object while reducing image processing load, and of reducing a sense of discomfort which the user may feel. A shading process execution unit () executes a shading process on the surface of the object, based on a pseudo-normal vector for each pixel of a texture image to be mapped onto the surface of the object. A shading process execution restraining unit () restrains execution of the shading process by the shading process execution unit (), based on the distance from a viewpoint to the object. A pseudo-normal vector obtaining unit () stores information correlating the distance from the viewpoint with pseudo-normal vector information for obtaining a pseudo-normal vector of each pixel. Then, the pseudo-normal vector obtaining unit () obtains a pseudo-normal vector of each pixel, based on the pseudo-normal vector information correlated to the distance from the viewpoint to the object.

An engine starter includes a starter switch having a plunger assembly movable between non-operating operating positions. When the plunger assembly is at the non-operating position, a gap between main stationary and movable contacts is smaller than the sum of a gap between a pinion and an engine ring gear and the most-widely opened variable gap, which is defined between a drive mechanism and a moving shaft. The arrangement is such that, as the plunger assembly moves from the non-operating position to the operating position, the auxiliary contact is first closed to cause the starter motor to be driven at the first speed, and then the main contact is closed to cause the starter motor to be driven at the second speed.
