Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] (1) The present invention relates to a planning paper, and particularly to a computer graphics planning paper used when planning figures such as moving images and still images of a computer graphics.

(2) Technical background of the invention In recent years, computer graphics have developed significantly, and the applications of this, such as animation and video games, are changing rapidly. This animation, video game is on a cathode ray tube at 8x
Still images and videos are drawn using 8 dots as the basic unit. It is necessary to draw the figures of these still images and moving images on paper at the stage of planning and producing animations, video games, etc. This figure is expressed by pixel points (dots) that make up one screen, so
It is necessary to be able to easily extract these dots from the production process of animation, video games, etc.

(3) Conventional technology and problems Traditionally, in the planning and production stages of animation, video games, etc., figures for still images and videos were drawn on graph paper with 10 mm solid lines on a 1 mm grid, and drawn as basic units of 8 mm solid lines. It was drawn on paper made up of 8x8 dots.

However, 8mm
The problem was that a solid line had to be drawn, resulting in poor work efficiency. For example, when an 8 mm solid line is drawn on a graph paper with 10 mm solid lines on a 1 mm grid, it is easy to confuse it with the 10 mm solid line, making it difficult to efficiently extract the dots of the figure drawn on the graph paper.

(4) Purpose of the invention In view of the above-mentioned conventional problems, the present invention provides a computer graphics planning paper that can draw figures for still images and moving images of animations, video games, etc., and that can easily extract dots of the figures. The purpose is to

(5) Structure of the invention According to the invention, the purpose of this invention is to create a title column in the upper left corner, a number column in the upper right corner, in the margin of the graph paper other than the 1 mm grids, on a graph paper composed of 1 mm grids. It has a memo field at the bottom, and consists of 8mm solid lines that divide the 1mm grid into 8 vertically and 8 horizontally, and thick 16mm solid lines that form the 8mm squares divided by the 8mm solid lines into 2 vertically and 2 horizontally. This is accomplished by providing a computer graphics planning paper that is characterized by:

(6) Embodiment of the invention Hereinafter, an embodiment of the invention will be described in detail based on the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a plan view of a computer graphics planning paper according to a first embodiment of the present invention.

In the figure, a paper 1 has 224 1 mm grids 2' (squares surrounded by the first solid line 2) horizontally and 288 vertically, for a total of 64,512. And the above 1
8mm solid lines 3 are drawn vertically and horizontally to divide the mm grid 2' into 64 squares, 8 vertically and 8 horizontally. Furthermore, 1mm grids 2' are placed in the remaining area after removing 16 rows of 1mm grids 2' (224 rows per row) from the top and bottom of the rectangular paper surface made up of the 1mm grids 2'. 16mm thicker line than the 8mm solid line 3 above
A grid of 14 horizontal columns and 16 vertical rows is formed, surrounded by solid lines 4.

Further, on the paper with a margin other than the 1 mm grid, a number column 5 is provided in the upper right corner, a title column 6 is provided in the upper left corner, and a memo column 7 is provided at the bottom for writing comments on videos and still images. Note that this paper 1 may be a tracing paper or other material suitable for the purpose. The 8mm solid lines are vertically and horizontally drawn at equal intervals of 8mm, and the 16mm solid lines are vertically and horizontally drawn at equal intervals of 16mm.
These are solid lines drawn at equal intervals of mm.

In the figure, the area marked with a thick 16 mm solid line 4 corresponds to the entire screen of a video game, for example. Then, one of the four areas separated by the 16mm solid line 4 (1mm grid 8 x 8 dots =
64) is the basic unit (one character) necessary for the pattern of the video of the video game, etc., and for example, one warrior, one invader, etc. are written within this square. Moreover, the 1 mm grid 2' represents dots (pixels) on the screen, and each dot can be connected or a color can be specified. Therefore, a moving image pattern is formed by connecting and assembling each dot.

Therefore, when planning and producing a video, please use the paper 1 mentioned above.
Within the screen configuration area surrounded by the 16mm solid line 4 drawn on the outermost side of
×8) It is possible to draw the movement and path of a moving image written in units for each frame of the screen, and easily extract each dot.

On the other hand, since still images do not change, the same image can be used for several frames, and the memory capacity is extremely small compared to moving images. Therefore, the still image can use the entire area of the 1 mm grid 2' drawn on the paper 1, including the auxiliary area added outside at least one end of the moving image area showing the entire screen. Then, by connecting the dots within the available 224 x 288 dots in the same manner as described above, a still image can be obtained. Therefore, each dot can be easily extracted even in the still image. In the case of video games, a moving image screen is superimposed on the still screen. Therefore, the upper part (auxiliary area) of the still image shows the score of the game, the lower part (auxiliary area) shows the waiting area for the controlled object to participate in the game, and the 224 x 256 dot video part shows the scenery. It can be transparent or opaque. Then, if necessary, the game score and the standby image can be extracted from the auxiliary area of this still image. In this way, there is a good point that the game is easy to see because there is no need to provide a waiting area for points and controlled objects on the video screen.

The above is based on 8 x 8 dots, but based on this, it is also possible to draw and plan video and still image characters in 16 x 16, 32 x 32, etc. configurations on the computer graphic planning paper of this invention. can.

FIG. 2 is a plan view of a computer graphic planning paper according to a second embodiment of the present invention. Note that the same parts as in FIG. 1 are given the same reference numerals and redundant explanation will be omitted.

In the same figure, 224 of the 1mm grid 2' shown in Figure 1
In the center of the ×288 dot, a total of 64 squares, 8 vertically and 8 horizontally, are surrounded by thick 16mm solid lines.
Unlike the lines forming the 1 mm grid 2, a dotted frame 8 is provided.

In the figure, within the dotted line frame 8, for example, the movement process of the pattern on the moving image screen can be drawn one frame at a time in 16 x 16 dots surrounded by thick 16 mm solid lines, so each dot can be easily drawn. can be extracted. Also, 8×8
Since the dot is the basic unit, for example, 8×
It is also possible to configure one frame of a video pattern in units of 8, 8 x 16, 16 x 16, 32 x 16, 32 x 32 dots, etc. Note that other configurations based on 8×8 dots are also possible.

Also, as explained in FIG. 1, the 224 x 256 dot area is used to draw a moving image, and the 224 x 288 dot area is used to draw a still image.

In the title column 6 of Figures 1 and 2 above, write the title of the animation, video game, etc., in the number column 1 write the number of pages, and in the memo column 7, for example, write comments about the movement of the video, etc. be able to.

In the above-mentioned embodiment, 224×288 1 mm squares are configured, but the configuration may be 448×512 or any other number. At this time, it is a good idea to draw the 8mm solid line and the thick 16mm solid line.

FIG. 3 is a plan view of a computer graphic planning paper according to a third embodiment of the present invention. Incidentally, the same parts as in FIG. 2 are given the same reference numerals, and redundant explanation will be omitted.

In the same figure, between the 1mm grid 2 and the title column 6 and the number column in Figure 2, between the 1mm grid and the memo column 7,
The left and right margins other than 1mm grid 2 have two rows of hexadecimal digits (0, ..., F), and the hexadecimal digits 9, which are closer to 1mm grid 2, are attached at the top and bottom.
11 is 2,...F,0,...D every 8mm from the left side
The order is as follows. On the other hand, the hexadecimal digits 10 and 12 that are farthest from the 1 mm grid 2 are 2,
...The order is F, 0, ...D. Also, inside the left and right margins of paper 1, mark 0,...F, 0,...F every 8mm from the top, excluding the top and bottom 16mm.
Hexadecimal digits 13 and 15 are added in that order. On the other hand, the outer hexadecimal digits 14 and 16 are opposite to the inner digits, and are numbered in the order of 0, . . . , F, 0, . . . F from the bottom. In the same figure, the hexadecimal digits 10 to 1
6 can easily represent the position of the basic unit of 8×8 dots in animations, video games, etc., making it easy to extract patterns from still images and moving images. At this time,
Hexadecimal digits 10 to 16 in the two columns above depending on the purpose of use
It is better to use one of the two.

FIG. 4 is an enlarged view of the part surrounded by the dotted line in FIG. 3.

Of the hexadecimal digits 13 and 14 marked in the middle of the right end of Figure 3 in the margins other than 1mm grid 2, the 16mm thick line in the middle corresponds to the predetermined 8 x 8 dots separated by 8mm solid line 3. The line closer to the solid line 4 indicates hexadecimal digit 13, and the line further away indicates hexadecimal digit 14.

(7) Effects of the invention As explained above in detail, the first embodiment of the computer graphics planning paper of the invention can easily extract dots from figures in still images and videos of animations, video games, etc. Therefore, the animation, video game, etc. planning,
When manufacturing, there are some things that have a great effect on work efficiency. Furthermore, since the computer graphic planning paper of the present invention has areas for still images at the top and bottom, it can also be used for moving images. Furthermore, the second embodiment has a useful aspect in which the process of movement of an object being moved within a moving image screen can be drawn frame by frame, and dots, which are pixel points of this object, can be easily extracted. Furthermore, the third embodiment has a great effect in that the position of the 8×8 dot can be easily extracted using the hexadecimal digits added to the margin.
