pseudo kleinian - mod 1

[taurus]

Here's annother one, that is reported quickly.
The following params, I use for an upcoming animation project is rendered very different in 2.11-1 and the current alphas, regardless whether openCL is enabled or not. What's the reason? How do you plan to preserve compatibility?

Code:

# Mandelbulber settings file
# version 2.11
# only modified parameters
[description]
The detail and shape of the fractal is sensitive to the maximum number of fractal iterations (maxiter) on the render engine tab. This is set at 10 in this example. Try changing to 6 to see the difference.

>>edit: removed all the displacement map stuff from parameters

[Buddhi]

Thanks for reporting this.
This is on out TODO list for v2.12.
When we started working with OpenCL stuff, we had to cleanup all fractal formulas and standardize interfaces for them. Now all uses 4D algebra and have the same general input/output parameters. This allowed easier conversion of all formulas to OpenCL versions. Unfortunately it was a lot of manual work, so we still find some mistakes in fractal code. We want to keep compatibility, so we are going to check all formulas, find differences and correct them.

(issue https://github.com/buddhi1980/mandelbulber2/issues/337)

I have compared calculation of this fractal in 2.11-1 nad 2.12. Fractal formula is calculated in exactly the same way, but bailout condition works a little different. In new version bailout condition for Pseudo Kleinian and JosLes-Kleinian is corrected. Old condition not always worked properly (inverted bailout was not detected in many cases). Unfortunately in this case will be difficult to keep compatibility, until old code was wrong. This problem affects only pseudo-kleinan mod formula if some additional components are enabled starting from not first iteration (like in your case). 

[Buddhi]

There is possible to get exactly the same fractal shape and appearance with new code. You can use following trick to disable checking of bailout (to simulate "wrong" code from old version):
1. Switch on hybrid fractals
2. On Pseudo Kleinian Mod 1 tab disable "Check for bailout condition".
3. Correct soft shadow cone value. Was 90 degrees - better is something about 1-5. In old code soft shadows didn't work properly with positional lights, so in new version image is very dark with such a high value.

Below there are corrected settings

Ok, thanks. Except the coloring, that produces not so nice "wobbling" color bands also in cpu mode, it seems to be equal. The main thing is, the interior box. As this one is for animation purposes only - with animated displacement map - I will do the final render in 2.11. openCL does not support the full material settings yet, when I remember right.
The shadow cone angle was related and only visible, when main light is switched on in v2.11. Maybe I tried to soften the shadows of my corner lights with this and gave up after no softening appeared even with 90 degrees. This setting was a "hail mary" attempt, to check, if any effect is visible. I switched off main lights and forgot about it, as no main light is necessary inside a box (and penetrating light is off too). This was never in focus, just an artefact of work in progress.
Thanks for restoring the form. Your support is much appreciated!
