Abstract:
A computer-readable recording medium recording integrated shaping model data having a plurality of models linked by a hierarchical structure where at least a first model has a plurality of vertices constituting polygons, and at least the position of a first vertex is influenced by positions of a plurality of models and weight values from these models, comprising:format data of a common vertex buffer for saving the data on the plurality of vertices in said plurality of models for each model; a vertex list which is created for each one of said models which influence the vertices and has vertex data specified by a vertex ID in said common vertex buffer; model matrix data which is created for each one of said models and sets the model positions of said plurality of models in basic forms; and a polygon list which is created for each one of said models having the polygons and has polygon data where said vertex ID is attribute data, wherein the vertex data in said vertex list has at least the position data of the vertex, a weight value from the model where said vertex list belongs, and vertex ID in said common vertex buffer corresponding to the vertex.
