Image creating method and apparatus, recording medium for recording image creating program, and video game machine

摘要

In an image creating apparatus, a liquid-object model is realistically represented by using a simple liquid-object model consisting of a plurality of polygons. A ROM (24) stores wave-swell polygon data and texture data representing the swell of waves (13). The swell of a wave (13) is formed of N liquid-object polygon sets (31 through 36). Each of the polygon sets (31 through 36) consists of a plurality of hexagonal polygons. The lateral surfaces, i.e., the longitudinal dimensions, of the polygons are arranged orthogonal to the Z axis. The polygon sets (31 through 36) are sequentially arranged in the Z-axis direction.
