Abstract
The present invention is for easily drawing a polygon model having borderlines at high-speed. The video game machine comprises a recording medium for enlarging the 3-D model where a normal vector of each polygon faces the outside at a predetermined enlargement ratio, overlaying a back model, where a normal vector of each polygon faces the inside, onto the above model and storing the integrated model as a framed model in advance, and a drawing processor for drawing only polygons facing the direction of the view point position of the virtual camera in a virtual game space on the monitor based on the drawing instructions of the framed model.
