Method for efficiently recording a number of texture images in memory

摘要

In order to store texture images in a smaller data amount, there is provided a method for recording a texture recording image 28 which contains a number of texture images in a memory to thereby record the images of the number of texture in the memory. In this method, the texture images are arranged on the texture recording image 28 based on the shape information of each texture such that a region not being occupied by the images can be reduced on the texture recording image 28.
