Flower & Fruit

After a lot of trial and error and a lot of tweaking, I’ve managed to achieve the desired effect of using modeling and deformation animation to show the growth process of the Vine Mane.
I plan to further improve the animation of the other parts of the plant and incorporate more elements into the animation to make it more vivid and realistic.

I think it will be very empty with only Fujiman animations, so I plan to add some fruit and flower animations. Here’s my design.

Fruit and flower animation

Fruit growth animation
Models and Deformation: Choose suitable fruit models and use the deformation animation to gradually show their growing process.
Growing process: control the size, shape and color of the fruits to change gradually over time, simulating the process of fruit ripening.
Flower blooming animation
Simulate blooming: Deform the flower model to gradually show the bud blooming into a beautiful flower.
Color change: control the gradual change of the color of the flower to simulate the color change of the petals from the initial state to the full bloom.
Animation integration
Time and Rhythm: Ensure that the growth rhythm of the fruits and flowers is coordinated with the growth animation of the Fujiman to create a harmonious dynamic scene.
Spatial Layout: Consider the placement of the fruits and flowers to match the growth path and speed of the Fujiman, creating a unified growth environment.
Combination Summary
Scene richness: Adding the animation of fruits and flowers will add more vitality and color to the whole scene, making it more attractive.
Combined effect: Ensure coordination and unity between different elements by unifying the design style and animation tempo.
These new elements will make your animation more vivid and interesting, and present the audience with a richer and more varied plant growing scene.

First build a petal, then animate a petal by simple deformation
