    Patent number: 6556215
    Abstract: Regarding polygons constituting objects, the purpose of the present invention is to prevent intersection of a polygon with other polygons without increasing the number of polygons, and to display compatible dynamic motions with reality. The solution is, corresponding vertexes of polygons constituting a first object, memorizing onto a recording means the condition regarding the position corresponding a second object, judging whether the vertexes of polygons constituting such first object satisfy such condition, and amending the position of the vertexes to satisfy the condition if it is judged that the condition is not satisfied. It is possible to display compatible dynamic motions with reality by making a condition that there is no intersection of polygons constituting a first object and polygons constituting a second object.
