Abstract
A polygon-meshed surface of a product is divided into regions, and a texture GA is mapped in an initial region A. The boundary line of an adjacent region B is multiplexed outward, and an overlapped region D is provided between the initial region and the adjacent region, and a region X to be processed is projected onto a two-dimensional plane and a texture GB is allocated. An optimal boundary line FS in which the difference between the pixel values of the textures GA and GB becomes minimal in the overlapped region is obtained, and the texture GB is mapped in the region X being processed so that the texture is connected to the texture GA at the optimal boundary line. The apexes of the polygon mesh displaced on the basis of the textures mapped in all the regions are connected to obtain grain-given polygon data.
