This month I've been using Ultra Fractal to make illustrations based on drawing prompts generated by an AI. Kind of a frivolous exercise, but it has definitely sharpened up my techniques for using coloring formulas.

You can read about the prompts here: https://www.aiweirdness.com/botober-2022-draw-human-draw/
and see the pictures I've made here: https://mrvelocipede.tumblr.com/tagged/botob

While watching a screen capture video of someone working in UF6, the Render window shows a resolution of 118.110 with no units. What’s up with that?

After reading Crystal Wizard's post of February 4 (https://www.ultrafractal.com/forum/index.php?u=/topic/832/dr-pickover-s-suggestion), I got inspired, or perhaps carried away.

In the Tutorials and Tips section of the forum, I have put a tutorial on my new Chaotic Attractors coloring formula and a upr with 15 sample layers. As a teaser, renderings of two of the layers are below.

Does anyone have the old gradient library? My hard drive died and I lost everything and am hoping someone has at least some of the old gradients.

I added a hard drive to my computer ( D: )
and moved UF to that drive.

Tried copying over parameter files to D: drive and adjusting Pref locations, when I got the error message.

Apparently parameter or public paremeters cannot be relocated.
Tried to set back as was, but still get error message.

Any help advice appreciated.

Starting a day or two ago, the names of the files that I render from UF6 have -00019 added. That is, instead of xxx.jpg, the file is named xxx-00019.jpg.

What could be causing that? I've restarted my PC, same result.

Dear UltraFractal folks,

I’m writing in the hopes that someone might assist me. I’m new to Ultra Fractal and am trying to replicate a very specific look for an art project I am developing. The closest example that I can find is one posted by Robert Töreki here: https://www.ultrafractal.com/showcase/robert.html
In his caption he mentions that it is “A study of using t

Greetings,
I'm having difficulty while using the tutorial on animations. It seems that as I playback my initial animation, it zooms in horribly pixelized rather than a smooth image. Why is that?. I have been doing the tutorials up to this point and im stuck. CAn you give me a hand?

I'm confused about the public section are these designs subject to copyright or can they be used freely?

Somehow, accidentally, I tagged an image as an animation, with one parameter having the animation indicator. As far as I know, I didn't do anything to do it, certainly not on purpose, and Animation was turned off as far as I know.
(1) How could I have done it, and how could I avoid it in the future?
(2) How should I undo it? I didn't see any way, so I edited the upr, taking out the code for

I've created serveral animations where I create with outputing slides to png's.

Though I noticed sometimes if I make a zoom animation too fast... the slides look blurry. Are there any tips anyone can give as what is a good "time frame" so the zoom is not too fast ratio to time so it wont look blurry?

I hope that makes sense.

I can upload a few frames if it helps.

Thanks in adva

Is there a way to create an animation that just color cycles the fractals?

Hi folks. I’ve made a zoom animation. I like it and now I want to extend it by adding another section at the end. I want the zoom speed to stay the same for the whole animation. In other words, I don’t want the movie to zoom in slowly during the first part and then zoom in quickly during the second part.

I’ve found the image I want to use for the new end frame. But UF w

Mark Townsend's Fractalia formulas in mt.ufm in essence is

xnew = quadratic in x and y
ynew = quadratic in x and y
znew = xnew + flip(ynew)
Since each quadratic has 6 free parameters, he made 6 versions, Fractalia-1 through Fractalia-6, so the user could switch among them to help find good parameters.

My version instead uses one or two steps of randomization of parameters to help find a g

Page 112 of pdf manual.

Says I can " click and hold down " Browse and a presets menu will appear.

Edit Presets, Add Current, Delete, Rename, Move.

That does not work no matter how long I hold.

Help please.

Would anyone have a copy of a 2001 or earlier version of the standard.ufx file with the sphere transformation? Probably came from version 1 or 2 of uf.

I messed up my panels somehow.

At one time I could have both panels open at the same time and docked on the right side.

Now I can only have one open at a time .... if I click one, the other closes.

Any ideas how to fix them.

If at some point you read this .... could use a little help.

Progressing through but now stuck on page 11 section 4.4.

Cannot figure how to "drop or attach" the Mask On layer to the Edge Highlight layer.

Hi all,

I'm very happy to announce the release of Ultra Fractal 6.05. This free update for existing version 6 users improves anti-aliasing quality when rendering to disk (especially with higher Depth settings), along with various bug fixes and small improvements. You can download it here:

When I save parameters they are saved in a parameters folder.

If I click to open a new file, and look into that parameter folder, it is empty.

What am I missing ?
