legalize[CodePlex] From: jackoftradez@comcast.net Anyone who has seen my deep zoom viddies has noticed the occasional jerk frames. I do not know what causes this, but it seems that fractint reads the
PAR file wrong and scrambles the numbers for some reason. Thus with off-parameters or coordinates the image(s) are a bit distorted or off center.
Now, attempting a zoom animation of Muth FOTD 3_15_07 I have encountered this again, only the error occurs in the magnification number - the first time I have seen this! I need someone to verify that I am not hallucinating. Attached are PARS for 3 images in
the sequence.
You clearly see the mag factors are 1.35e+12, 1.37e+12, and 1.40e+12 respectively. The first and last render correctly, but the middle one ends up with a mag factor of 6.88e11 !
Why is this and where does the number come from? It is totally reproduceable too!
You dont have to render the entire image (they take awhile). Just a couple lines then hit TAB key to see the numbers.
A clue might be that this only occurs in the last third of the sequence - beyond e12. There are so many messed up frames an otherwize awesome zoom is not now good for posting!
