Some Motion Models of Artificial Animals and Momentarily Continously Switching of the Models

Abstract:

Some local motion models of artificial animals and a method momentarily continuously to switch the models are given. A society behaviour system of artificial fishes based on the way and method is exploited, which can exhibit life behaviours and intelligence of animals. How momentarily continuously to switch the motion models of animated agents in the system is better settled. The system can illimitably generalizedly circularly run and has good man-computer interaction. Moreover the appearance, motion and behaviour of the animals in the system are lifelike and convinced. There are not bad visions such as ‘mutation’, ‘suddenly disappearring’, ‘jumpiness’of animated agents.
