However, according to the prior art as described above, since the texture image is pasted by deforming an object covered with innumerable polygons, the vertexes of the polygons must be recalculated according to the shaking, and the comparison There was a problem that it would be a heavy processing.

The present invention solves such problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide an image processing apparatus, an image processing method, an information recording medium, and a program suitable for simply expressing the motion of shaking.

In order to achieve the above object, the following invention is disclosed in accordance with the principle of the present invention.

An image processing apparatus according to a first aspect of the present invention includes a storage unit, an update unit, and a generation display unit.
The storage unit stores the positions and shapes of the first polygon region to which the first texture image is pasted and the second polygon region to which the second texture image is pasted.
The updating unit determines the positions of the vertices other than the end points of the predetermined one side of each of the first polygon area and the second polygon area, and the second polygon in the first cycle for the first polygon area. The shape stored in the storage unit is updated so that each of the square regions is vibrated in the second period to change the shape.
The generation display unit pastes the first texture image on the first polygon area and pastes the second texture image on the second polygon area based on the position and shape stored in the storage unit. Generate and display an image.

The image processing apparatus of the present invention pastes a texture image on a polygonal area arranged in the virtual space, and sees the situation in the virtual space including the polygonal area in the direction of the line of sight from the position of the viewpoint in the virtual space. Generate and display an image. The polygonal region is, for example, a rectangle, a square, a parallelogram, a quadrangle such as a trapezoid, or a shape such as a triangle. The image processing apparatus can set a polygonal region at an arbitrary position in the virtual space. In the texture image, a picture of what is to be expressed is drawn. For example, if you want to express how the leaves are swaying in the wind, a picture of the leaves of the tree is drawn.If you want to express how the aquatic plants are swaying in the flow of water, the picture of the aquatic plants is a still image. Drawn in.

The polygonal area includes a first polygonal area and a second polygonal area, each of which has a variable shape. The image processing apparatus deforms the shape of the first polygonal region so as to vibrate in the first cycle, and deforms the shape of the second polygonal region so as to vibrate in the second cycle. The first period and the second period may be the same or different. Moreover, the amplitude of vibration may be the same or different. Then, the image processing apparatus pastes the first texture image on the deformed first polygon region, and pastes the second texture image on the deformed second polygon region. The first texture image and the second texture image may be the same or different.

For example, when the shapes of the first polygonal area and the second polygonal area are gradually changed so as to vibrate at regular timing such as vertical synchronization interruption, pictures drawn on the first texture image and the second texture image ( For example, an animation representing a state in which a picture of a leaf, aquatic plant, etc.) sways left and right, up and down, etc. is displayed. According to the present invention, the image processing apparatus can express the movement of the sway only by performing the deformation process of the figure in the UV space with a relatively small calculation load of changing the shape of the polygonal region to which the texture image is pasted. can do.

The update unit matches the position of the predetermined one side of each of the first polygon region and the second polygon region, affine transforms the first texture image, deforms the second texture image, You may deform | transform by affine transformation.

That is, the image processing apparatus adopts affine transformation using a predetermined affine matrix that deforms a figure by moving, rotating, inverting, enlarging, or reducing as a method for deforming the first polygon area and the second polygon area. Can do. By changing each matrix element of the affine matrix, various deformation methods can be realized.

The first polygon area and the second polygon area may exist on the same plane in the virtual space.
Then, the update unit deforms the second polygon region in a direction opposite to the direction in which the first polygon region is deformed, so that the shape of the first polygon region and the second polygon region are changed. The shape may be changed.

For example, the shapes of the first polygon region and the second polygon region in the initial state (the state before shaking) are both rectangular, the first polygon region is tilted in a predetermined direction, and is transformed into a parallelogram. The polygonal region is tilted in the direction opposite to the predetermined direction to be transformed into a parallelogram. And the shape of a 1st polygon area | region and a 2nd polygon area | region is changed so that it may vibrate with progress of time. Then, it is possible to express the movement of shaking as if shaking in the same place. That is, by drawing a plurality of pictures of only one object on purpose, such as afterimages, it is possible to intuitively and easily express how the object is shaking or moving. However, the shape is not limited to a rectangle or a parallelogram.

An image processing apparatus according to another aspect of the present invention includes a storage unit, an update unit, and a generation display unit.
The storage unit stores the position and shape of a polygonal region to which one or more texture images are pasted.
The update unit updates the shape stored in the storage unit so as to vibrate the positions of the vertices other than the end points of the predetermined side of the polygonal region in a direction in which the predetermined side extends.
The generation display unit generates and displays an image in which one or a plurality of texture images are pasted on the polygonal area based on the position and shape stored in the storage unit.

The shape of the polygonal area is variable. The position of the predetermined one side of the figure constituting the polygonal region is unchanged before and after the shape change. This predetermined one side is called a fixed side. The image processing apparatus deforms the shape of the polygonal region so as to vibrate in a direction in which the fixed side extends in a predetermined cycle. Then, the image processing apparatus pastes a predetermined texture image on the deformed polygonal region. There may be one or more texture images.

For example, if the shape of the polygonal area is gradually changed to vibrate at a regular timing such as vertical synchronization interruption, the picture drawn on the texture image (for example, a picture of a leaf, aquatic plant, etc.) sways left and right, up and down, etc. An animation showing the situation is displayed. According to the present invention, the image processing apparatus can express the movement of the sway only by performing the deformation process of the figure in the UV space with a relatively small calculation load of changing the shape of the polygonal region to which the texture image is pasted. can do.

The update unit further stores the shape stored in the storage unit so as to vibrate the positions of the vertices other than the end points of the predetermined one side in a direction perpendicular to the direction in which the predetermined one side extends in the predetermined cycle. It may be updated.

That is, the shape of the polygonal region is distorted in the direction in which the fixed side extends, and is also distorted in the direction perpendicular to the direction in which the fixed side extends. For example, it is possible to prevent the picture drawn in the texture image from expanding and contracting to look unnatural. According to the present invention, it is possible to easily represent a more natural shaking motion.

The update unit may update the shape stored in the storage unit so as to fix the predetermined one side and vibrate at the predetermined cycle.

In the present invention, the first polygonal region and the second polygonal region are such that a predetermined one side of the polygon representing the first polygonal region and a predetermined one side of the polygon representing the second polygonal region are on the same line. Arranged to exist. That is, the polygonal fixed side representing the first polygonal region and the polygonal fixed side representing the second polygonal region are arranged on the same straight line.

For example, when it is desired to express how the leaves of a tree are swaying in the wind, a fixed side is provided at a position including the root of the tree, in the direction of the branch where the leaves are growing. For example, when it is desired to express how the aquatic plants are swaying in the waves, a fixed side is provided at a position including the root portion of the aquatic plants in the direction of the ground where the aquatic plants are growing. By providing a fixed side in this way, it is possible to express the state in which the object is shaking more easily. In addition, it is desirable to make the position of the fixed side unchanged before and after the deformation of the first polygon area and the second polygon area.

An image processing method according to another aspect of the present invention is an image processing method executed by an image processing apparatus having a storage unit, an update unit, and a generation display unit, and includes an update step and a generation display step.
The storage unit stores the positions and shapes of the first polygon region to which the first texture image is pasted and the second polygon region to which the second texture image is pasted.
In the updating step, the positions of the vertices other than the end points of the predetermined one side of each of the first polygon area and the second polygon area are changed in the first cycle for the first polygon area. The update unit updates the shape stored in the storage unit so that the square region is vibrated in the second period and the shape is changed.
In the generation display step, the generation display unit pastes the first texture image on the first polygon region based on the position and shape stored in the storage unit, and the second texture on the second polygon region. Generate and display an image with the image pasted.

FIG. 2 is a diagram for explaining a functional configuration of the image processing apparatus 200.

FIG. 3A is a diagram showing an example of the first texture image 310 to be pasted on a region (hereinafter referred to as “polygonal region”) represented by a graphic arranged in the virtual space. In this drawing, as an example, a picture of a leaf is drawn in the first texture image 310.

FIG. 3B is a diagram showing an example of the second texture image 320 to be pasted on the polygonal region arranged in the virtual space. In this figure, as an example, the second texture image 320 has a picture of a leaf that is different from the first texture image 310.

FIG. 4 is a diagram for explaining a polygonal area in the screen 400 displayed on the monitor. The polygon area includes a first polygon area 410 and a second polygon area 420.

The image processing apparatus 200 according to the present embodiment performs image transformation such as affine transformation on the graphic representing the first polygonal region 410 to change the shape, and the first texture image 310 is converted into the first polygonal region 410 after the image transformation. Paste. Further, the image processing apparatus 200 changes the shape by performing image conversion such as affine transformation on the graphic representing the second polygonal region 420, and pastes the second texture image 320 on the second polygonal region 420 after image conversion. wear. The image processing apparatus 200 displays the image obtained by rendering in this way on the screen 400. This will be described in detail below.

First, each part of the image processing apparatus 200 will be described. The image processing apparatus 200 includes a storage unit 201, an update unit 202, and a generation display unit 203.

The storage unit 201 stores first pasting area information 251 and second pasting area information 252. The CPU 101 and the RAM 103 work together to function as the storage unit 201.

The first pasting area information 251 is information for designating the position and shape of the first polygonal area 410 to which the first texture image 310 as shown in FIG. 3A is to be pasted. Similarly, the second pasting area information 252 is information for designating the position and shape of the second polygonal area 420 to which the second texture image 320 as shown in FIG. 3B should be pasted.

The positions of the first polygon area 410 and the second polygon area 420 are represented as coordinate values in the XY coordinate system defined on the screen 400, respectively. For example, the position of the first polygonal region 410 on the screen 400 is uniquely determined by designating a coordinate value such as an arbitrary vertex or a barycentric point of the figure constituting the first polygonal region 410. The same applies to the second polygonal region 420.

The first polygon area 410 and the second polygon area 420 are arranged on the same plane in the virtual space.

The shapes of the first polygon area 410 and the second polygon area 420 are each a triangle, a quadrangle (typically a rectangle or a trapezoid), and the like.

As will be described later, the CPU 101 can change the position and shape of the first polygonal region 410. Similarly, the CPU 101 can change the position and shape of the second polygonal area 420.

The first polygon area 410 and the second polygon area 420 may be set one by one in the screen 400, or a plurality may be set. When setting a plurality of first polygonal areas 410 (or second polygonal areas 420), the storage unit 201 indicates the position and shape of each first polygonal area 410 (or second polygonal area 420). First pasting area information 251 (or second pasting area information 252) is stored.

The storage unit 201 stores the positions (coordinate values) of all the vertices of the graphic forming the first polygonal area 410 as the first pasting area information 251, so that the shape of the first polygonal area 410 can be changed. You can also decide. For example, the CPU 101 sets a line connecting adjacent vertices as one side of the graphic representing the first polygonal area 410. The CPU 101 obtains line segments for all adjacent vertices, and a figure formed by combining the obtained line segments can be used as the shape of the first polygonal region 410. The same applies to the second polygonal region 420.

In addition, the storage unit 201 stores in advance a first texture image 310 to be pasted on the first polygonal area 410 and a second texture image 320 to be pasted on the second polygonal area 420.

The first texture image 310 includes a transparent area 315 and an opaque area 316. The opaque region 316 is an image region drawn using a color that is not transparent, such as a picture of the leaves of the tree. The transparent area 315 is an area that is not the opaque area 316. Similarly, the second texture image 320 has a transparent region 325 and an opaque region 326.

The storage unit 201 may store the first pasting area information 251, the second pasting area information 252, the first texture image 310, and the second texture image 320 in another memory such as the external memory 106.

Next, the updating unit 202 matches a predetermined one side of each of the first polygonal region 410 and the second polygonal region 420 at a certain point in time, and sets the position of the vertex other than the end point of the predetermined one side to the first The first pasting area information 251 and the second pasting area information 252 are changed so that the polygonal area 410 is vibrated and changed in the first period and the second polygonal area 420 is changed in the second period. Update. The CPU 101, the RAM 103, and the image processing unit 108 cooperate to function as the update unit 202.

In each of the first polygon area 410 and the second polygon area 420, a local coordinate system (UV coordinate system) is defined.

5A, 5B, and 5C are diagrams illustrating how the shape of the first polygonal region 410 changes.
6A, 6B, and 6C are diagrams illustrating how the shape of the second polygonal region 420 changes. In order to facilitate understanding of the present invention, a case where the shape of the first polygonal region 410 in a state before changing the shape (initial state) is rectangular will be described as an example.

In FIGS. 5A to 5C and FIGS. 6A to 6C, the first texture image 310 is pasted in the first polygon area 410, and the second texture image 320 is pasted in the second polygon area 420. Although attached, the process of pasting the first texture image 310 and the second texture image 320 to the first polygon area 410 and the second polygon area 420, respectively, will be described in detail in the description of the configuration of the generation display unit 203. To do.

The CPU 101 transforms the graphic representing the first polygonal area 410 by affine transformation using a predetermined affine matrix. FIG. 5A shows the first polygonal region 410 in a state (initial state) before affine transformation. 5B and 5C show the first polygonal region 410 after the affine transformation.

The CPU 101 sets a line segment connecting two adjacent vertices 511 and 512 of the first polygonal area 410 as the predetermined one side (hereinafter referred to as “fixed side”) 510. The position of the fixed side 510 is unchanged before and after the affine transformation.

In the following description, a parameter indicating the magnitude of the amount of movement in the U-axis direction of the opposite side of the fixed side 510 (line segment connecting the two vertices 513 and 514) is expressed as “L”. A parameter indicating the magnitude of the angle at which one side represented by a line segment connecting the vertices 512 and 513 and one side represented by the line segment connecting the vertices 511 and 514 is inclined is represented by “θ”.

Similarly, a parameter indicating the amount of movement in the U-axis direction of the opposite side of the fixed side 610 (line segment connecting the two vertices 613 and 614) is expressed as “M”. A parameter representing the magnitude of the angle at which one side represented by the line segment connecting the vertices 612 and 613 and one side represented by the line segment connecting the vertices 611 and 614 is inclined is represented by “φ”.

When the generation display unit 203 described later pastes the first texture image 310 to the first polygonal area 410 and pastes the second texture image 320 to the second polygonal area 420, the first texture image 310 is configured. It is desirable that the position of the opaque region 515 on the fixed side 510 in all the pixel data to be processed and the position of the opaque region 615 on the fixed side 610 in all the pixel data constituting the second texture image 320 are the same.

For example, before and after the deformation of the first polygon area 410 and the second polygon area 420 by the update unit 202, the root part of the tree drawn in the first texture image 310 and the leaves of the tree drawn in the second texture image 320 The first texture image 310 and the second texture image 320 are created so that the root portion always matches. In this way, the movement of the leaves will appear more natural.

For example, as shown in FIG. 5B, the CPU 101 keeps the position and orientation of the fixed side 510 fixed, and moves the opposite side of the fixed side 510 (the line segment connecting the two vertices 513 and 514) to the distance L in the negative direction of the U axis. The first polygonal region 410 is transformed from a rectangle to a parallelogram by translating only. In other words, the CPU 101 determines that the first polygon region is such that one side represented by the line segment connecting the vertices 512 and 513 and one side represented by the line segment connecting the vertices 511 and 514 are both inclined by the angle θ. 410 is transformed.

The distance L is variable in the range of 0 ≦ L ≦ LA. The angle θ is variable in the range of 0 ≦ θ ≦ θA. The deformation shown in this figure is generally called shear deformation.

For example, as shown in FIG. 5C, the CPU 101 moves the first polygonal region 410 from the rectangle by translating the opposite side of the fixed side 510 by a distance L in the positive direction of the U axis while fixing the fixed side 510. Transform into a parallelogram. In other words, the CPU 101 determines that the first polygon region is such that one side represented by the line segment connecting the vertices 512 and 513 and one side represented by the line segment connecting the vertices 511 and 514 are both inclined by the angle θ. 410 is transformed.

The distance L is variable in the range of 0 ≦ L ≦ LB. The angle θ is variable in the range of 0 ≦ θ ≦ θB.

For example, the CPU 101 may combine the modification shown in FIG. 5B and the modification shown in FIG. 5C. That is, the CPU 101 causes the opposite side of the fixed side 510 to vibrate so that the opposite side of the fixed side 510 moves in parallel so that the maximum is LA in the negative direction of the U axis and the maximum is LB in the positive direction of the U axis.

In other words, the CPU 101 has a side represented by a line connecting the vertices 512 and 513 and a side represented by a line connecting the vertices 511 and 514 at the maximum in the negative direction of the U axis, θA and U axis. Oscillating motion is performed so as to incline by θB at the maximum in the positive direction. The period of each vibration may be the same or different.

The CPU 101 updates the first pasting area information 251 by using information indicating the changed position and shape of the first polygonal area 410.

Similarly, the CPU 101 transforms the graphic representing the second polygonal area 420 by affine transformation using a predetermined affine matrix. FIG. 6A shows the second polygonal region 420 in a state (initial state) before affine transformation. 6B and 6C show the second polygonal region 420 after the affine transformation.

The CPU 101 sets a line segment connecting two adjacent vertices 611 and 612 of the second polygonal area 420 as a fixed side 610. As with the fixed side 510, the position of the fixed side 610 is unchanged before and after the affine transformation.

For example, as shown in FIG. 6B, the CPU 101 translates the opposite side of the fixed side 610 by a distance M in the negative direction of the U axis while fixing the position and orientation of the fixed side 610, thereby 420 is transformed from a rectangle to a parallelogram. In other words, the CPU 101 determines that the second polygonal region is such that one side represented by the line segment connecting the vertices 612 and 613 and one side represented by the line segment connecting the vertices 611 and 614 are both inclined by an angle φ. 420 is transformed.

The distance M is variable in the range of 0 ≦ M ≦ MA. The angle φ is variable in the range of 0 ≦ φ ≦ φA.

For example, as shown in FIG. 6C, the CPU 101 moves the second polygonal region 420 from the rectangle by translating the opposite side of the fixed side 610 in the positive direction of the U axis by a distance M while fixing the fixed side 610. Transform into a parallelogram. In other words, the CPU 101 determines that the second polygonal region is such that one side represented by the line segment connecting the vertices 612 and 613 and one side represented by the line segment connecting the vertices 611 and 614 are both inclined by an angle φ. 420 is transformed.

The distance L is variable in the range of 0 ≦ M ≦ MB. The angle φ is variable in the range of 0 ≦ φ ≦ φB.

For example, the CPU 101 may combine the modification shown in FIG. 6B and the modification shown in FIG. 6C. That is, the CPU 101 causes the opposite side of the fixed side 610 to vibrate so that the opposite side of the fixed side 610 moves in parallel so that the maximum is MA in the negative direction of the U axis and the maximum is MB in the positive direction of the U axis. In other words, the CPU 101 has one side represented by a line segment connecting the vertices 612 and 613 and one side represented by a line segment connecting the vertices 611 and 614 at the maximum in the negative direction of the U axis with φA and U axis. Oscillating motion is made so that it is tilted by φB at the maximum in the positive direction. The period of each vibration may be the same or different.

The CPU 101 updates the second pasting area information 252 with information indicating the changed position and shape of the second polygonal area 420.

The fact that the predetermined one side of each of the first polygonal area 410 and the second polygonal area 420 coincides at a certain point in time means that the fixed side 510 of the first polygonal area 410 and the fixed side of the second polygonal area 420 610 means that both exist on the same straight line at a certain time. “A certain point in time” typically refers to an initial state before affine transformation. The fixed side 510 of the first polygonal region 410 and the fixed side 610 of the second polygonal region 420 may always exist on the same straight line.

Note that the CPU 101 appropriately selects one of the sides of the polygon representing the first polygon region 410 and the second polygon region 420 as the fixed sides 510 and 610 according to the image for which shaking is to be expressed. Shall be selected. For example, if it is desired to express how the leaves of a tree hanging on a tree branch sway in the wind, the fixed sides 510 and 610 are set in a direction along the branch where the leaves of the tree grow. For example, if you want to express how seaweeds such as kelp and seaweed that grow in the sea move slowly according to the movement of seawater, the fixed edges 510 and 610 are set in the direction along the seabed where the seaweed grows. Set.

By providing the fixed sides 510 and 610 in this way, it is possible to express the state in which the object is shaking while a certain part is fixed, rather than moving around.

The shapes of the first polygonal area 410 and the second polygonal area 420 are not limited to rectangles and parallelograms. For example, as shown in FIG. 7A, the shape of the first polygonal region 410 before and after the deformation may be an arbitrary quadrangle having vertices 511 to 514. The CPU 101 deforms the first polygonal region 410 so that the vertices 513 and 514 other than the vertices 511 and 512 at both ends of the fixed side 510 reciprocate on predetermined trajectories 701 and 702, respectively. May be. It is desirable that the vibration cycle of the vertex 513 and the vibration cycle of the vertex 514 are the same.

For example, as shown in FIG. 7B, the shape of the first polygonal region 410 before and after the deformation may be an arbitrary triangle having vertices 511 to 513. The CPU 101 may deform the first polygonal region 410 so that vertices 513 other than the vertices 511 and 512 at both ends of the fixed side 510 reciprocate on a predetermined trajectory 703.

Similarly, the shape of the second polygonal region 420 may be an arbitrary quadrilateral having vertices 611 to 614 or an arbitrary triangle having vertices 611 to 613. That is, in FIGS. 7A and 7B, the vertices 511 to 514 may be read as the vertices 611 to 614, and the fixed side 510 may be read as the fixed side 610, respectively.

Next, the generation display unit 203 pastes the first texture image 310 to the first polygonal region 410 based on the first pasting region information 251 stored in the storage unit 201 and stores the first texture image 310 in the storage unit 201. Based on the second pasting area information 252, an image in which the second texture image 320 is pasted on the second polygonal area 420 is generated, and the generated image is displayed on the monitor. The CPU 101, the RAM 103, and the image processing unit 108 cooperate to function as the generation display unit 203.

Specifically, when the shape of the first polygonal area 410 is a quadrangle, as shown in FIG. 8A, the CPU 101 controls the image processing unit 108 to set the vertex 311 of the first texture image 310 to the first. The first texture image 310 is pasted to the first polygonal area 410 with the vertex 511, the vertex 312 corresponding to the vertex 512, the vertex 313 corresponding to the vertex 513, the vertex 314 corresponding to the vertex 514, respectively. .

Similarly, when the shape of the second polygonal area 420 is a quadrangle, the CPU 101 sets the vertex 321 of the second texture image 320 to the vertex 611 of the second polygonal area 420, the vertex 322 to the vertex 612, and the vertex 323. The second texture image 320 is pasted to the second polygonal region 420 with the vertex 613 and the vertex 324 corresponding to the vertex 614, respectively.

In the following description, the CPU 101 controls the image processing unit 108 to generate images in which the first texture image 310 and the second texture image 320 are pasted on the first polygon area 410 and the second polygon area 420, respectively. This process is called an image generation process.

When the shape of the first polygonal area 410 is a triangle, as shown in FIG. 8B, the CPU 101 controls the image processing unit 108 to set the vertex 311 of the first texture image 310 to the first polygonal area 410. The first texture image 310 is pasted to the first polygonal region 410 so that the vertex 511 corresponds to the vertex 312, the vertex 313 and the vertex 314 both correspond to the vertex 513.

Similarly, when the shape of the second polygon region 420 is a triangle, the CPU 101 sets the vertex 321 of the second texture image 320 to the vertex 611 of the second polygon region 420, the vertex 322 to the vertex 612, and the vertex 323. The second texture image 320 is pasted on the second polygonal region 420 so that the vertex 324 and the vertex 324 correspond to the vertex 613, respectively.

9A to 9C show the case where the CPU 101 sets the first polygonal area 410 when the shape of the first polygonal area 410 before deformation is the same as the position, shape and size of the second polygonal area 420 before deformation. This is an example of an image in which a first texture image 310 is pasted on 410 and a second texture image 320 is pasted on a second polygonal region 420. FIG. 9A shows the first polygonal area 410 and the second polygonal area 420 before deformation, and FIGS. 9B and 9C show the deformation.

The CPU 101 fixes the position and orientation of the fixed side 510 of the first polygonal area 410 and deforms the first polygonal area 410 so as to be distorted by the angle θ per unit time at a predetermined first vibration cycle. To do. Further, the CPU 101 fixes the position and orientation of the fixed side 610 of the second polygonal region 420, and has an angle φ per unit time in the direction opposite to the deformation direction of the first polygonal region 410 in a predetermined second vibration cycle. The second polygonal region 420 is deformed so as to be distorted by the size of.

If the first period (the period of vibration of the first polygonal region 410) and the second period (the period of vibration of the second polygonal region 420) are the same, the generated image is shown in FIG. It changes in order of FIG. 9B, FIG. 9A, FIG. 9C, and FIG. 9A. By repeatedly executing the image generation processing by the CPU 101, an animation image in which the leaves of the tree shake to the left and right is generated so that the leaves of the tree drawn in the first texture image 310 and the leaves of the tree drawn in the second texture image 320 are alternately switched. be able to.

10A and FIG. 10B paste the first texture image 310 shown in FIG. 3A and the second texture image 320 shown in FIG. 3B to the first polygon region 410 and the second polygon region 420 of FIG. 4, respectively. It is an example of an image that can be attached. In order to facilitate understanding of the present invention, the edges of the first polygonal area 410 and the edges of the second polygonal area 420 are shown by solid lines, but these edges are not displayed on the monitor.

As shown in FIGS. 10A and 10B, when there are a plurality of first polygonal areas 410 (and / or second polygonal areas 420) in the screen 400, the CPU 101 causes each first polygonal area 410 ( For the second polygonal area 420), the shape is changed by performing affine transformation or the like, and the first texture image 310 (and / or the second texture image 320) is pasted. The deformation method of each first polygonal region 410 (and / or second polygonal region 420) may be the same or different.

For example, a plurality of first polygonal areas 410 (and / or second polygonal areas 420) are set in the screen 400, and the same is true for all the first polygonal areas 410 (and / or second polygonal areas 420). When the first texture image 310 (and / or the second texture image 320) is pasted after being deformed using the affine matrix, the pictures drawn on the first texture image 310 (and / or the second texture image 320) are simultaneously displayed. Similarly, it is possible to generate an image representing a state of shaking up and down, left and right.

In general, in the field of computer graphics (CG), rendering is often performed using application software called a shader. However, according to the present invention, graphic deformation processing is performed in a UV space with a relatively small calculation load. Just to be able to express the movement of shaking.

Next, the image generation processing executed by each unit of the present embodiment will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.

First, the CPU 101 reads out the first pasting area information 251 indicating the position and shape of the first polygonal area 410 and the second pasting area information 252 indicating the position and shape of the second polygonal area 420 from the RAM 103 ( Step S1101).

The CPU 101 affine-transforms a figure (polygon) representing the first polygon area 410 using a predetermined affine matrix AM1. Further, the CPU 101 affine-transforms the graphic representing the second polygonal region 420 using a predetermined affine matrix AM2 (step S1102).

If the deformation by the affine matrix AM1 is reversed from the deformation by the affine matrix AM2, the movement of the swing can be expressed more clearly. For example, as shown in FIGS. 9B and 9C, the CPU 101 distorts the first polygon region 410 by an angle θ and distorts the second polygon region 420 by an angle φ opposite to the direction of the angle θ. However, the direction of deformation is arbitrary. The magnitude of the angle θ and the magnitude of the angle φ may be the same or different.

For example, when a virtual wind is blowing in the virtual space, if the wind is relatively weak, the deformation directions of the first polygonal area 410 and the second polygonal area 420 are reversed. On the other hand, if the wind is relatively strong, the deformation directions of the first polygonal area 410 and the second polygonal area 420 are made the same. In this way, it is possible to change the movement of the shaking, such as when the wind is weak, the leaves sway slowly and slowly, and when the wind is strong, the leaves flutter.

The CPU 101 controls the image processing unit 108 to paste the first texture image 310 in the first polygon area 410 and paste the second texture image 320 in the second polygon area 420 (step S1103). The process of this step is generally called rendering.

Then, the CPU 101 updates the first pasting area information 251 with the position and shape of the first polygonal area 410 deformed at step S1102, and the CPU 101 updates the first polygonal area 420 with the position and shape of the second polygonal area 420 similarly deformed at step S1102. The 2 pasting area information 252 is updated (step S1104).

The CPU 101 controls the image processing unit 108 to display the image generated in step S1103 on the monitor.

The animation representing the movement of the object in the virtual space can be created by repeatedly executing this image generation process, for example, every vertical synchronization interrupt.

In general, movement of transparent air such as wind and movement of transparent water in water are often difficult to express in an image. Therefore, if the figure to which the texture is pasted is deformed and the texture is pasted in accordance with the deformed figure as in the present invention, the movement of the shake can be expressed easily while reducing the load of image processing. become.

In the present embodiment, two types of polygonal areas are set in the screen 400, but three or more types of polygonal areas may be set, and the CPU 101 may deform each polygonal area.

(Embodiment 2)
Next, other embodiments of the present invention will be described. In the above-described embodiment, the two texture images 310 and 320 are selectively used. However, the texture image 310 and 320 may be pasted using a single texture image common to the first polygon region 410 and the second polygon region 420. Further, three or more texture images may be used properly.

For example, when generating an image of a pudding placed on a plate, the simplest conventional expression technique is to draw and paste one texture image 1202 in one polygonal area 1201 as shown in FIG. 12A. do it. On the other hand, an expression technique used in comics or the like sometimes expresses how a single object is shaking or moving like an afterimage using a plurality of pictures. For example, when drawing a soft pudding that sways as shown in FIG. 12B, there may be a case where a single pudding is intentionally drawn and an afterimage is drawn to express the swaying state. When the present invention is applied, it is possible to express a state in which an object (pudding) shakes as if it was drawn by an expression technique used in such comics.

That is, as shown in FIG. 12C, the first polygon region 410 and the second polygon region 420 having the same position and the same shape in the initial state are set in the screen 400. A common texture image 1202 to be pasted on the first polygon area 410 and the second polygon area 420 is prepared in advance.

Next, as shown in FIG. 12D, the CPU 101 deforms the first polygonal region 410 by an angle θ at a predetermined period T1. Similarly, the CPU 101 deforms the second polygonal region 420 in the reverse direction by the angle θ at the same predetermined period T1. In other words, the respective shapes of the first polygonal area 410 after deformation and the second polygonal area 420 after deformation have a line-symmetric relationship with respect to the straight line 1203.

Then, the CPU 101 pastes the texture image 1202 on the deformed first polygon area 410 and the second polygon area 420.

The CPU 101 repeatedly executes the process of changing the angle θ with time and deforming the first polygonal area 410 and the second polygonal area 420 as shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 13, when the angle θ is vibrated at a predetermined period T1, it is possible to more easily represent the manner in which the object shakes.

(Embodiment 3)
Next, other embodiments of the present invention will be described. The CPU 101 can deform the first polygonal area 410 and the second polygonal area 420 in the direction perpendicular to the fixed sides 510 and 610.

For example, as shown in FIG. 14A, the CPU 101 distorts the first polygonal area (or second polygonal area) 1400 before deformation having the vertices 1401 to 1404 by fixing the fixed side 1405 and the angle θ. Transform to make it feel like it is. At this time, the length of each side is unchanged. Then, the first polygon area (or second polygon area) 1410 after deformation is lower by ΔL than the first polygon area (or second polygon area) 1400 before deformation.

In FIG. 14B, the CPU 101 controls the image processing unit 108 to paste a predetermined texture image on the deformed first polygon area 1410, and similarly paste the predetermined texture image on the deformed second polygon area 1420. It is a figure showing the image which can be attached. By deforming in the direction perpendicular to the fixed side 1405 in this way, the texture image does not extend in the horizontal direction (the tree length increases), so that the state of shaking is more natural. Can be expressed.

When a texture image is pasted to each of the first polygon area 1410 and the second polygon area 1420 after deformation, if the position of the opaque area 1406 on the fixed side 1405 of the pixel data constituting the texture image is made unchanged. , Can more naturally express the state of shaking.

(Embodiment 4)
Next, other embodiments of the present invention will be described. This embodiment is different from the above embodiment in that the first polygonal area 410 is set in the screen 400 while the second polygonal area 420 is not set.

FIG. 15A, FIG. 15B, and FIG. 15C are diagrams showing how the shape of the first polygonal region 410 changes. In the first texture image 310 to be pasted on the first polygonal region 410, pictures of a plurality of objects that are desired to express the movement of shaking are drawn in advance. For example, the first texture image 310 includes a plurality of leaves of trees.

FIG. 15A shows a state in which the CPU 101 has pasted the first texture image 310 on the first polygonal area 410 before shape conversion. For example, before the shape conversion, the shape of the first polygonal region 410 is a rectangle, and the length (height) in the V direction is L1.

The CPU 101 deforms the first polygon region 410 by setting one side of the first polygon region 410 as the fixed side 510. For example, as shown in FIG. 15B, the CPU 101 distorts the first polygonal region 410 in the negative direction of the U axis by an angle θA and transforms it into a parallelogram. Alternatively, as shown in FIG. 15C, the CPU 101 distorts the first polygonal region 410 in the positive direction of the U axis by an angle θB and transforms it into a parallelogram. Then, the CPU 101 pastes the first texture image 310 on the deformed first polygon region 410.

CPU 101 changes the angle θ to be distorted with the elapsed time as shown in FIG. That is, the CPU 101 changes the angle θ so as to reciprocate at a period T1 in the range of θMIN ≦ θ ≦ θMAX. The first polygonal region 410 changes from the shape shown in FIG. 15A to the shape shown in FIG. 15B, further changes from the shape shown in FIG. 15B to the shape shown in FIG. 15A, and further changes from the shape shown in FIG. 15A to FIG. The shape changes, and further changes from the shape shown in FIG. 15C to the shape shown in FIG. 15A. By repeating such changes, the object (in this case, the leaves of the tree) is swayed.

In addition, by combining the above-described embodiments, the CPU 101 may change not only the angle θ but also the height of the first polygonal region 410.

FIG. 16 is a diagram showing an example of the relationship between elapsed time and height. The CPU 101 changes the height of the first polygonal region 410 with the same period T1 in accordance with the change of the angle θ shown in FIG. In other words, the amount of change ΔL (= L−LA or L−LB) in the height of the first polygonal region 410 reciprocates at a period T1 in the range of LMIN ≦ L ≦ LMAX (= L1). By changing the height in this way, the object appears to sway more naturally so that the object does not stretch and appear in the direction of swaying.

According to the present embodiment, since the number of polygonal areas to which the texture is applied can be reduced, it is possible to further reduce the processing load and express how the object shakes.

The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and various modifications and applications are possible. Moreover, it is also possible to freely combine the components of the above-described embodiments.
