PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To generate animation by estimating three-dimensional posture of a virtual figure from a two-dimensional line drawing drawn on a story board. SOLUTION: The three-dimensional posture is automatically estimated from the two-dimensional line drawing described on the story board. And continuous three-dimensional operations are estimated and generated from picture scripts of intermittent motions described on the story board by using previously stored sample motions. In addition, expression of timing or the like of dialogue among a plurality of virtual figures is enabled by adding a function that describes context on a time axis to the story board. Furthermore, support of collaborative works in the case of creating CG (computer graphics) is also enabled by sharing the story board by a plurality of CG animators.
