Abstract
The color of object data that indicates the shape and the color of an object is reproduced faithfully when modeling an object. A model is formed by discharging droplets having the same color from droplet discharging units onto a medium, based on the same reference signal. Colorimetry is performed on the model, and a first-portion and a second-portion having a color with a higher density are specified. The liquid amount of droplets per unit area to be discharged from droplets discharging units that formed the first-portion and the liquid amount of droplets per unit area to be discharged from droplets discharging units that formed the second-portion are adjusted such that a difference in density of colors to be reproduced decreases. The object is modeled by repeating processing for discharging droplets from the droplet discharging units based on the object data.
