Rich,
This par has periodicity=0, so the next statements don't matter. Periodicity uses the value of z to determine when to bailout. The Mystic2 formula uses LastSqr for determining when to bailout, which in this instance is g.x^2 + g.y^2. Therefore, periodicity would calculate bailout based on the wrong variable.
Interesting. So why does it render correctly on the DOS parser?
Because periodicity is not being used, there is no effect due to this "error" in the design of the formula.
So if I turn periodicity off, I'll get a correct rendering on xfractint? -- "The Direct3D Graphics Pipeline" -- DirectX 9 draft available for download <http://legalizeadulthood.wordpress.com/the-direct3d-graphics-pipeline/> Legalize Adulthood! <http://legalizeadulthood.wordpress.com>
