ABSTRACT:
There is provided a method and apparatus for generating an image which make it possible to prepare texture images of normal brightness and to generate a texture-mapped image as an image brighter than the original texture images.
In a system for mapping texture images prepared in advance onto polygonal areas obtained by a drawing process with brightness calculated for each of the polygonal areas, a brightness level lower than the maximum brightness level that can be rendered by the system is used as the maximum brightness level of the texture image prepared in advance, and the rendering of brightness during the mapping of the texture images onto the polygonal areas can be performed with brightness higher than the original brightness of the texture images.
