Claim One:
1. An image rendering process, comprising: (a) determining parameters which correspond to at least one characteristic of a polygon to be rendered, the at least one characteristic being selected from the group consisting of color and brightness; (b) adding the parameters to apex information of the polygon; (c) acquiring from a table values of the at least one characteristic which correspond to the parameters added to the apex information, the table containing color and brightness values at positions specified by two-dimensional coordinates, the color values being aligned so as to express a gradation of color tone along one coordinate axis of the two-dimensional coordinates, and the brightness values being aligned so as to express a gradation of brightness along the other coordinate axis of the two-dimensional coordinates; (d) generating an address for referencing a two-dimensional coordinate corresponding to each pixel composing the polygon based on the parameters added to the apex information; and (e) referencing the table based on the address and assigning the values of the at least one characteristic to each pixel composing the polygon.
