Abstract
The fractal Iterated Function System (IFS) algorithm is studied to simulate swinging plants’ animation effect under natural conditions. First, the collage method and the IFS attractor parameter morphing method render the fractal plant. Second, the IFS attractor parameter morphing is added on this basis. Third, the swinging plant’s animation morphing is achieved by combining the physics and adjusting the morphing parameters. Finally, the effects of leaves transforming into trees and swinging in the wind are simulated. The simulation results verify the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm. Compared with traditional methods, it reduces the time required to render images and overcomes interactive control limitations. The ability of attractors with parameter variables to control images is very stable. Continuous adjustment of parameters can effectively solve image distortion caused by matrix decomposition during fractal morphing. The proposed algorithm provides some references for applying fractal morphing technology in animation design and computer graphics.
