Patent ID: 7034832

Claim:
A computer readable recording medium storing an executable 3-D image processing program, which intentionally distorts an original image to generate a deformed image on a display screen, said 3-D image processing program comprising the steps of: storing an original image; storing a 3-D model comprising a plurality of polygons defining a shape including a plane in which a portion of said plane is distorted in 3-D space by a curved surface protruding therefrom, wherein the plane is bounded by a rectangular outer perimeter, and the curved surface is defined by said plane cutting through a volume defined by a rotation of an ellipsoid; performing image pasting processing, in which the original image is read and is pasted, as a texture, onto said 3-D model to form a composite image; and performing deformed image drawing processing including: deforming the composite image in accordance with viewing the 3-D model with the original image pasted thereon from a prescribed camera viewpoint; and drawing said deformed composite image on a display screen.
