Abstract
An animation data compression apparatus comprises an animation data classification unit for classifying animation data into plural kinds of data, an animation priority determination unit for determining priorities on the respective data classified, and an animation data compression unit for compressing the respective data while changing the compression ratio on the basis of the priorities. Therefore, even on a narrow-band network such as a telephone line, animation data of complicated CG contents can be transmitted in real-time without degrading smoothness of animation scene.
