- 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.
