ABSTRACT:
To provide an image synthesizing apparatus and method which can represent different feelings between various materials with less processing loads, the image synthesizing apparatus comprises a texture computing section for computing texture coordinates and a texture memory for storing texture information at the respective address locations specified by the texture coordinates. The texture information stored in the texture memory includes flags CFL.sub.I, CFL.sub.T, and CFL.sub.D for controlling the validity, invalidity or flow in the brightness, translucent or depth-cueing process and other flags SFL.sub.I, SFL.sub.T, and SFL.sub.D for changing parameters used for the brightness, translucent or depth-cueing process. Thus, a simple difference between color patterns as well as a difference between feelings of material can be represented with multiple texture mappings.
