Abstract
In order to form an image by projecting a textureat an arbitrary angle to an arbitrary position on a surface of an objectrepresented as a 3D model, texture datais divided into texture lineshaving a width of one dot and a length equal to the number of dots on one side of the texture. Then, supposed is a stereoscopic objectbased on one texture linethat the texture line is extended in a light travel direction while possessing color information from an arrangement relationship between the texture line, object modeland virtual light source in the three dimensional space. The intersecting partbetween the stereoscopic objectand the surface of the object modelis defined as a region for rendering the texture line, and thereby a stereoscopic objectis rendered onto the defined region.
