Patent ID: 7983882

Claim:
A computer-implemented arm joint wrinkle and muscle movement simulation method which generates an object with arm joint wrinkle and muscle movement, said method comprising the steps of: (a) retrieving an image of said object from a data storage area, and (b) simulating said arm joint wrinkle and said muscle movement on said object; wherein said object comprises an arm; said arm comprises an upper arm, a lower arm, and an arm joint; said upper arm and said lower arm are connected by said arm joint; an arm joint angle value which indicates the angle created by said upper arm and said lower arm at said arm joint is variable; when said arm joint angle value indicates a first angle value, (a) a first wrinkle image is generated on or near said arm joint and (b) a first thickness upper arm image is generated, wherein said first thickness upper arm image is the image of said upper arm with the thickness reflecting a first thickness value; and when said arm joint angle value indicates a second angle value, (a) a second wrinkle image is generated on or near said arm joint and (b) a second thickness upper arm image is generated, wherein said second thickness upper arm image is the image of said upper arm with the thickness reflecting a second thickness value; wherein said second angle value is larger than said first angle value.
