An image processing device for realizing more realistic pictures of
explosions in video game devices as well as other devices. Objects
displaying such pictures of explosions are formed of spherical polygons
(R1, R2, R3, . . . ) and planar polygons (S1, S2, S3, . . . ). Pictures
of explosions are realized by alternately arranging these spherical
polygons and planar polygons with the lapse in time. Preferably, pictures
of polygons are realized by arranging the spherical polygons in layers on
the boundary of the planar polygons.
