ABSTRACT:
A method of simply mapping a texture such as a light point texture onto a three-dimensional model comprises the steps of designating a three-dimensional model having polygons to be subjected to a texture mapping process, designating a texture used for the texture mapping process, and transforming the polygons by perspective transformation and performing the texture mapping process by mapping the designated texture onto respective vertices of the transformed polygons.
