Claim 9:
10. A model creation apparatus which is configured to create a 3D model representing an appearance of a target, comprising:
an image sensor configured to capture an image of the target;
a processor configured to create a 3D model of the target included in the captured image, if the target is determined to be an article of a pre-registered type of article types; and
a display configured to provide the 3D model of the target created by the processor,
wherein if the target included in the captured image is a movable figure including a plurality of moveable portions and being capable of changing a pose thereof at the movable portions, and the target is not being continuously moved by a user in a real world, the movable portions of the movable figure included in the captured image are specified by analyzing the captured image, a state of each of the specified movable portions of the movable figure included in the captured image is specified by analyzing, the captured image, and the 3D model of the target is created by setting a joint set at a portion corresponding to each of the specified movable portions of the movable figure and changing a state value of each joint of the 3D model based on the specified state of each of the specified movable portions.
