Abstract
An animation editing apparatus is adapted to make an animation based on shape data related to a shape of an object. The animation editing apparatus is provided with a deforming processor for deforming the object based on an input instruction which specifies deformation of the object, a first attribute editor for editing at least an attribute of the object, a moving path editor for editing a moving path of the object, a storage for storing data used for making the animation, and a second attribute editor for automatically determining an attribute of a deformed object based on deformed shape data received from the deforming process means, where the deformed shape data are related to the shape of the deformed object.
