  • Patent number: 8319786
    Abstract: To provide an image processing device capable of attaining shade expression on a surface of an object while reducing image processing load, and of reducing a sense of discomfort which the user may feel. A shading process execution unit (62) executes a shading process on the surface of the object, based on a pseudo-normal vector for each pixel of a texture image to be mapped onto the surface of the object. A shading process execution restraining unit (66) restrains execution of the shading process by the shading process execution unit (62), based on the distance from a viewpoint to the object. A pseudo-normal vector obtaining unit (60) stores information correlating the distance from the viewpoint with pseudo-normal vector information for obtaining a pseudo-normal vector of each pixel. Then, the pseudo-normal vector obtaining unit (60) obtains a pseudo-normal vector of each pixel, based on the pseudo-normal vector information correlated to the distance from the viewpoint to the object.

  • Publication number: 20100177097
    Abstract: There is provided an image processor that displays a shadow caused by an eyelid or the like on an eye of a character object without causing an unnatural feeling to a user while suppressing an increase of processing load. In the present invention, a shadow polygon (60) for representing a shadow occurring in an eye region (50) of a character object (player character object (46)) that is placed in a virtual three-dimensional space is placed at a position so as to cover at least a part of the eye region (50). Then, an image representing a scene of the virtual three-dimensional space that is viewed from a certain point of view is generated.

  • Publication number: 20090267942
    Abstract: To provide an image processing device capable of preferably producing a picture in which the shade expressed on a surface of an object will change according to change in the posture of the object. A pseudo-normal vector information storage unit (60a) stores a posture condition concerning a posture of the object and pseudo-normal vector information for obtaining a pseudo-normal vector for each pixel of a texture image to be mapped onto a surface of the object, so as to be correlated to each other. A pseudo-normal vector obtaining unit (64) obtains a pseudo-normal vector for each pixel of the above described texture image, based on the pseudo-normal vector information stored in the pseudo-normal vector information storage unit (60a) so as to be correlated to the posture condition satisfied by the posture of the object. A shading process execution unit (66) executes a shading process for the surface of the object, based on the pseudo-normal vector obtained by the pseudo-normal vector obtaining unit (64).
