THREE-DIMENSIONAL PRINTED MATTER PRODUCTION SUPPORT DEVICE, PLUG-IN PROGRAM, THREE-DIMENSIONAL PRINTED MATTER PRODUCTION METHOD, AND THREE-DIMENSIONAL PRINTED MATTER

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To produce three-dimensional printed matter within a practical time without photographing a real subject.SOLUTION: A control unit 11 of a three-dimensional printed matter production support device 10 generates a three-dimensional CG model 7 of an object Obj by a function of a modelling program 21 and stores it to a storage part 12. Then, according to a function of a rendering program 22, the control unit 11 calculates a shape and position of the three-dimensional CG model 7, lighted conditions (luster), and the like, generates a directivity image 6, and stores it to the storage part 12. A plug-in 23 is a program for defining a variety of setting values for generating the directivity image 6 in a ray-tracing function. Then, the control unit 11 generates one composed image 2 from a plurality of directivity images 6 by means of a function of an image composition program 24 and stores it to the storage part 12.
