An image creating apparatus uses a viewpoint as a reference to create the image of a game character and the image of a model behind the game character in a virtual three-dimensional space and to display the images on a display unit. The image creating apparatus includes a model-polygon storage unit for storing the coordinates of the model image, a character-polygon storage unit for storing the coordinates of a two-dimensional character polygon forming the character image, a model-texture storage unit for storing a texture indicating the model image, a character-texture storage unit for storing a texture indicating the character image, a light-source storage unit for storing the coordinates of a virtual light source provided in the three-dimensional space, a projection unit for computing the shape of the character polygon which is projected onto the model image by the virtual light source, and a color-data setting unit for setting color data on the obtained shape of the projected character image so as to represent a shadow of the character. <IMAGE> |
