ABSTRACT:
A realistic image display system includes an input section, a storage section, a light source data specifying section, a parameter specifying section, a polygon generating section, an image generating section, and a display section. The polygon generating section generates a set of polygons indicating the effects of a light source on three-dimensional space on the basis of three-dimensional object data including a three-dimensional object, the location of the object in the three-dimensional space, and a three-dimensional object attribute, and parameters specified at the parameter specifying section. The image generating section performs coloring on the three-dimensional object and the set of polygons on the basis of the three-dimensional object data, the light source data, and the parameters, thereby generating a display image.
