Animação de um fractal utilizando música em Pure Data

Abstract

This paper presents a method for animating fractals from music in Pure Data software. From the study of the fractal theory and the programming environment aimed at the media called Pure Data to implement a component that synchronizes music with the Julia’s fractal. Using the Pure Data it was possible to extract music caracteristics, which are used as parameters for the animation. To maintain the characteristc of Pure Data that runs their applications in real time, was faced with a concurrence problem, where the CPU is overloaded with rendering the video. To solve this problem, is adopted among some solutions, to use the GPU for math’s graphics. The result is a synchronization object between the structure responsible for the music and the structure responsible for the animation. Thus, this work also has information for future optimization approaches and synchronism of fractals and music. It also provides information and a brief tutorial on the implementation of components for Pure Data.
