Abstract: An image processing method is disclosed for more effectively displaying movements of an object composed of a plurality of polygons. The image processing method displays a moving object by displacing backward given vertices of polygons composing the moving object, imparting an afterimage representation that makes the object look as if it leaves a trail in the direction opposite to their direction of movement. This allows for display of movements of the object in a more emphasized manner and display of the moving object with richer expression.

Abstract: A game device including group character movement control is capable of carrying out the processing steps without increasing the processing load and without giving any sense of strangeness, such as dull movement, even when the number of characters to be moved and controlled in the virtual space increases. By grouping the sub characters and causing all of such grouped sub characters to move based on the same control point, the processing load is lightened in comparison to individually chasing the main character, it is possible to display more sub characters, and prevents defects such as slow game progress and partially deficient screen display. In addition, as it is possible to produce a sense of tension to the main character (player) of being chased by a group, the game amusement is enhanced thereby.

Abstract: An image processing apparatus and an image processing method are proposed for the high speed generation of a model, such as a plane picture in animation, for which an outline is drawn. In the image processing apparatus, for using computer graphics to generate a polygon model in three-dimensional coordinate space, a first model, for which the normal vectors of polygons are directed outward, and a second model, in which the first model is included and for which the normal vectors of polygons are directed inward, are synthesized as a single model. The direction of the normal vector of a polygon is employed in the hidden surface removal process to determine whether the polygon should be displayed. That is, when the normal vector of a polygon includes an element extended in the direction of the viewpoint, the pertinent polygon is displayed; but when the normal vector of a polygon does not include an element extended in the direction opposite to that of the viewpoint, the pertinent polygon is not displayed.
