Abstract
A sliced model generating apparatus includes a storage, a generator, an information adder, a converter, an area setter, and a color adder. The storage stores a three-dimensional model that includes attribute information including at least color information. The generator generates a contour polyline including a plurality of line segments. The information adder associates the line segments with the attribute information of the three-dimensional model. The converter converts the contour polyline whose line segments are associated with the attribute information into an image coordinate system. The area setter sets, in a region surrounded by the contour polyline converted into the image coordinate system, each of areas targeted for coloring adjacent to a corresponding one of the line segments. The color adder colors each of the areas targeted for coloring with a color based on the attribute information associated with a corresponding one of the line segments, thus generating a sliced model.
