Image creating device, light arranging method, recording medium, and program

A light arranging method using a parts storage unit which stores a plurality of parts to be elements of a three-dimensional image, a model storage unit that stores a lighting model having a light source arranged at a predetermined position of a model body with a predefined shape, and a display body storage unit which stores a display body having individual parts arranged thereto, the method comprising:

• a parts selection step of selecting a combination of individual parts to be arranged to an outline body with an arbitrary shape from the stored parts;
• a storage step of storing a display body having the selected individual parts arranged to the outline body in the display body storage unit;
• a model applying step of applying the lighting model in accordance with the stored display body;
• and
• an image drawing step of drawing a three-dimensional image by combining color components from the light source on the display body having the selected individual parts arranged, based on the applied lighting model.
