Title: Shadow volume generation program and game device
Inventor: OTA KEIZO
IPC: A63F13/52
Filed: 2003-03-17
Abstract: <P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To form a shadow volume by a regularly constant simple processing without requiring an exceptional processing.  <P>SOLUTION: Only an object 2 which makes a shadow is rendered with a light source arranged in a virtual space as a visual point, and at the result, a Z-value corresponding to each pixel of a two-dimensional image of the object taken from the light source direction is written in a Z-buffer. When the rendering is completed, a mesh model 4 is generated from a flat object 3. Namely, the Z-value of a pixel corresponding to each apex of the flat object 3 is read from the Z-buffer, and Y coordinate of each apex is determined from the Z-value. A shadow drawing processing by shadow volume technique is executed by use of the thus-generated mesh model 4.  <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2005,JPO&NCIPI
