Abstract
The present invention has the effect that the users can automatically create a natural picture in the style of painting-like color, as if it is a photograph, by directly manufacturing a terminal of a new communication service with the spread of multi media applications and next-generation intelligence network services, and that a lot of memory is not desired in the computer graphics system having three-dimensional model to express an embossed effect by applying the style having painting-like coloring to two-dimensional model.
