Image processing apparatus, method for controlling image processing apparatus, and storage medium

A method for controlling an image processing apparatus for supplying display information indicating a three-dimensional image to a recording device including a discharge section that discharges liquid to an object having a three-dimensional shape to form a three-dimensional image on the object, the method comprising:

• an obtaining step of obtaining virtual space information, the virtual space information indicating
• a virtual image in which the three-dimensional image is represented in a three-dimensional virtual space, and
• a virtual discharge section in which the discharge section is represented in the virtual space;
• and
• a generating step of generating the display information based on the virtual space information,
• wherein a relative positional relationship in the virtual space between the virtual image and the virtual discharge section indicated by the virtual space information corresponds to a relative positional relationship between the three-dimensional image and the discharge section.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a program of an image processing apparatus for supplying display information indicating a three-dimensional image to a recording device including a discharge section that discharges liquid to an object having a three-dimensional shape to form a three-dimensional image on the object, the program causing a computer to function as:

• an obtaining section that obtains virtual space information, the virtual space information indicating
• a virtual image in which the three-dimensional image is represented in a three-dimensional virtual space, and
• a virtual discharge section in which the discharge section is represented in the virtual space;
• and
• a generating section that generates the display information based on the virtual space information,
• wherein a relative positional relationship in the virtual space between the virtual image and the virtual discharge section indicated by the virtual space information corresponds to a relative positional relationship between the three-dimensional image and the discharge section.
