Abstract

Disclosed is an image processing apparatus for supplying display information indicating a three-dimensional image to a recording device including a discharge section that discharges liquid to an object having a three-dimensional shape to form a three-dimensional image on the object. The image processing apparatus includes an obtaining section that obtains virtual space information and a generating section that generates the display information based on the virtual space information. The virtual space information indicates a virtual image in which the three-dimensional image is represented in a three-dimensional virtual space, and a virtual discharge section, in which the discharge section is represented in the virtual space. The relative positional relationship in the virtual space between the virtual image and the virtual discharge section indicated by the virtual space information corresponds to the relative relationship between the three-dimensional image and the discharge section.
