END OF AN ERA, FRACTALFORUMS.COM IS CONTINUED ON FRACTALFORUMS.ORG

The only way to explain this clearly is if you load up a parameter and see it:

Fire up that parameter and calculate. You will see a horizon line of sorts that the fractal dissappears behind when you move in the nav. It is actually cutting off the top of the fractal and I cant make it stop. If I want whats "behind" the magic curtain, well... I can only get there by flying down and then up through the fractal, but backing up to get it in focus brings my friend the horizon clipper back and suddenly its all gone again.

What is this, and is there any way to make it not do this?

Thanks!

Yes i know, this is kind of glitch i have no solution for yet.

The automatic "infront" and "behind" selection of a cutting plane leads to this odd behaviour if you are in certain angles relative to the cutplanes.

Remember that you can do also a cutplane using a min DE-combination with a heightmap, if this should be an issue.


ps:  in this case the cutting makes no sense because it cuts nothing, but it should be just an example i guess.
