BUFFER FOR TEXTURE MAPPING AND THREE-DIMENSIONAL GRAPHICS PROCESSOR AND SYSTEM THEREFOR AND METHOD THEREFOR AND STORAGE MEDIUM FOR STORING PROCESSING PROGRAM

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a buffer for texture mapping, 3D graphic processor, 3D graphics processing system, 3D graphics processing method, and storage medium for storing a processing program for quickly plotting each part of a 3D object with proper resolution. SOLUTION: A buffer 12 for texture mapping stores the implicit-surface elimination information of a three-dimensional object, and coordinate values in a second-dimensional texture space TS in which plural texture images TI1 , TI2 ,... whose resolution is different are defined in the same size corresponding to the picture elements of an area in which the three-dimensional object is expressed in a frame buffer 13. A 3D graphic processor 1, 3D graphics processing system, 3D graphics processing method, and storage medium for storing a processing program are constituted based on a Z buffer.
