Abstract:
1. An image simulation method for mapping a texture to a specified face of a three-dimensional image shown on a display, comprising; setting three axes that will be orthogonal to one another using a plurality of points of the three dimensional image in order to establish a three dimensional space on the three-dimensional image; establishing a target face, to which a texture will be mapped, on the basis of a virtual surface which is set with the three axes of the three-dimensional space; determining initial values of a drawing start point for drawing the texture and number of drawing iterations on the basis of the length of the side of the virtual surface and the size of the texture so that the target face is fully mapped with the texture; drawing the target face with the texture mapped thereto on the display in accordance with the drawing start point and the number of drawing iterations; and drawing a wireframe, which divides the target face mapped with the texture, on the display in accordance with the drawing start point and the number of drawing iterations.
