Abstract

Relatively simple ideas of fractal geometry result in an infinite number of complex images and objects. Fractals are used in computer graphics to increase visual fidelity of the vector models. Although derived from dynamical systems, fractals are usually presented as static objects. The paper presents a new concept of embedding physical description in the model of IFS (Iterated Function System). Dynamically changing fractal structures offer better sense of ‘material’ than static images or key-framed animations. The model can augment IFS attractors with the illusion of softness, weight and other material-related features. The proposed model is flexible, deterministic and offers high rendering performance.
