Abstract
A three-dimensional modeling apparatus is provided with a head unit for modeling an object by discharging a liquid into each unit grille and a control unit for controlling the head unit. The control unit controls the head unit so as to discharge a designated type of colored liquid into a first unit grille out of two unit grilles adjacent to each other in a direction from a surface of the object to the interior, and discharge, into a second unit grille, one or more types of colored liquids that includes at least one colored liquid of the same type as the colored liquid discharged into the first unit grille, so as to be able to express a color of the surface of the object using the colored liquid discharged into the first unit grille and the one or more colored liquids discharged into the second unit grille.
