Abstract: A medium, an information processing apparatus, and a method of controlling an information processing apparatus for rendering a screen in which objects are located in a scene are provided. A viewpoint position for rendering the scene is obtained. Whether a character object exists within a predetermined range from the obtained viewpoint position is determined. For a target character object determined to exist within the predetermined range from the viewpoint position, a transparency for the target character object overall is set.

Abstract: An information processing apparatus determines whether a background object is included in a predetermined volume defined between a viewpoint position for rendering a scene and a reference object that is a reference for rendering; and if it determines that the background object is included in the predetermined volume, changes the viewpoint position to a viewpoint candidate position defined based on the background object. Also, the apparatus determines whether a character object exists in a predetermined range from a viewpoint position for rendering the scene, and sets, for a target character object determined to exist in the predetermined range from the viewpoint position a transparency of the target character object overall.
