Abstract
An image processing device includes a data receiver to receive three-dimensional object data of an object and a circuitry to create three-dimensional data from the three-dimensional object data when coloring at least part of a surface of the object, to conduct the coloring to the outer layer of the surface and multiple inner layers of the object.
Claims11
An image processing device comprising:
- memory storing computer-readable instructions;
- and
- one or more processors configured to execute the computer-readable instructions such that the one or more processors are configured to perform operations including
- receiving three-dimensional object data of a three dimensional object having a colored layer composed of an outermost layer and multiple inner layers;
- determining if the multiple inner layers of the three dimensional object has a color based on the received three-dimensional object data and when it is determined that the multiple inner layers have no color, creating data to color the multiple inner layers;
- determining whether the outermost layer of a surface and at least one of multiple inner layers of the three-dimensional object have an identical dot pattern and whether the outermost layer of the surface and at least one of the multiple inner layers have different dot patterns;
- and
- creating different dot pattern arrangements throughout the multiple inner layers and creating three-dimensional print data from the three-dimensional object data when coloring at least part of a surface of the object, conducting the coloring to the outermost layer of the surface and when coloring multiple inner layers of the object.

A non-transitory recording medium storing a plurality of instructions which, when executed by one or more processors, cause the processors to perform a control method of an image processing device, comprising:
- receiving three-dimensional object data of a three dimensional object having a colored layer composed of an outermost layer and multiple inner layers;
- determining if the multiple inner layers inner layer of the three dimensional object has a color based on the three-dimensional object data and when it is determined that the multiple inner layers have no color, creating data to color the multiple inner layers;
- determining whether the outermost layer of a surface of the object and at least one of multiple inner layers of the object have an identical dot pattern and whether the outermost layer of the surface and at least one of the multiple inner layers have different dot patterns, and
- creating different dot pattern arrangements throughout the multiple inner layers and creating three-dimensional data from the three-dimensional object data when at least part of a surface of the object is subject to coloring, applying the coloring to the outermost layer of the surface and multiple inner layers of the object.
