Abstract: A generation apparatus generates a virtual viewpoint image based on a foreground model, a virtual object model, and a virtual viewpoint. The virtual object has a shape with an alternate repetition of one of a plurality of first planes and one of a plurality of second planes. A normal line of each first plane and a normal line of each second plane extend in different directions. A virtual viewpoint image generated based on a first virtual viewpoint includes the first planes but does not include the second planes. And a virtual viewpoint image generated based on a second virtual viewpoint includes the second planes but does not include the first planes.
