-
- QBist is an algorithmic image renderer. The algorithm was published in the
- German computer magazine c't 10/95. It creates images looking quite abstract,
- therefore its name.
-
- Instead of letting the user enter all values required to generate a picture,
- QBist first calculates the main pattern (by using random start values) and
- then 8 variations of it. The amount of difference between main pattern and
- variations can be controlled.
-
- QBist renders in 24bit. It uses CyberGraphX for display.
-
- Furthermore, QBist fully supports phase5's PowerUP cards. It auto-detects the
- PowerPC processor and lets the user decide whether to use it or not. If a PPC
- is not present, QBist switches back to M68k mode.
-
-
- This version of QBist is based on the Mac source code of QBist (which is
- available from the c't FTP server, I think).
- There is another version of QBist available for Amiga computers, "QbistAmiga".
- It is developed by Thomas Bickel. Try it, it has some nice features QBist does
- not (yet) have. The coordinates format is the same, so you can import
- QbistAmiga coords to QBist.
