Whats new in 04
Erratic crashing bug has been introduced due to the rewrite
required for mutations.
Mutations, the main reason I've released this, they're good.
Bug in POV output fixed (I hope :-)
What was new in 03
More POV options
VIVID2.1 support
there have been some minor additions to the language
CONES SPACERS BRACKETS , plus SCALE now works sensibly.
The screen display is now of higher quality.
Can now use disk instead of extended memory
For those of you who haven't seen FORM02 Heres the description:
The FORM program is a FREE program that allows you to create
"FORMS" for display on your monitor or for rendering by the POV
raytracer. A form is a three dimensional object built up from a simple
set of primitives and some simple operations performed on them. None
of the forms produced are intended to represent anything real in any
way, they are just supposed to look good.
For those of you who have seen TODD and LATHAM's book
"Evolutionary Art and Computers" this program is supposed to perform
roughly the same function as the program described in that book.
REQUIRES : IBM PC compatible with 386 with VGA or better.
OUTPUT : VGA, SuperVGA, GIF, POV, VIVID2.
SUMMARY : Abstract 3D object creator/renderer/mutator;
outputs to SCREEN, GIF or POV
