Hi All
I'm looking at upgrading my laptop at some point & wondered if any of you have any thoughts on the best technical specs to go for, to get the best performance for UF. My laptop is OK but trying to work on other fractals whilst rendering really slows things down & doing anything else whilst rendering is almost impossible unless I'm happy for the render times to go through the roo

Hello to everyone.

It's been ages since I opened Ultra Fractal and now when I tried to open an old parameter I got the missing formula window.

Can someone link me to "Kgnarl 14" please? It is not in the database.

greetings,

Lilliane

When I try to change a formula some of the choices just show a black screen. If I open the black screen I am unable to edit. When I change something, the screen remains black. I am running Windows 10 64 bit. How can I get the formulas to work ?

I would like to know what happens when someone uses the trial version of UF to the full. After 30 days does the trial stop working? I've never used a trial for that long myself so don't know what happens!
(I recently upgraded to UF6 Extended, yay!!)

Also, I know a few people who are a bit reluctant to upgrade. They may well install the trial then uninstall it - perhaps waiting until they

Fractal Monster has some terrific images on DeviantArt. One example:
https://fractalmonster.deviantart.com/art/Deep-Left-in-Seahorse-Worm2-426665642
He kindly provided the parameters.

I thought I would try this really deep zoom in UF6 and then try to print it.
I suspect I made more than one mistake in the process.
I turned it into a large (14 x 10 inch image at 360 ppi for an Epso

So... starting to scratch some headway into this fantastic program. I had a question about accepted use of using formulas and rights of an author.
If a formula is shared, in open forum, or as a public download, and I use it to modify and create images, for sale, are these mentioned formulas royalty free? As an image creator and photographer, who normally builds images off original photos, I

I was wondering about the upgrade policies for this application.

I see there is a v.6 coming out, if I buy 5 for the Mac, will I have to incur an update price for 6? How is this handled. Do I get all the version for a release? such as 5.xx etc, and then pay for full release?
(not sure if I'm using the right verbiage)
thanks

I've tried over and over to follow the tutorial. One of the instructions request to copy the seed values from the document, which I did and verified by pasting to a note, however I keep trying to do this over and over, to paste to the fields but the option to paste complex value remains grayed out. I even tried the keyboard commands but no result. My only workaround is to manually enter the valu

Hello everyone,

I'm in the final phase of getting UF6 ready and I'm looking for some Mac beta testers. If you're willing to test the new Mac version and give me some feedback, please send me an email at info@ultrafractal.com.

Thanks!

I literally downloaded the trial yesterday. I can't get past the very first paragraph that, in part, states:
"● Click Close on the File menu to close the fractal window. Now, the workspace is empty except for a
row of Tool Windows on the right side of
the screen."

when I follow this, the whole program shuts down. The only workaround I could do is instead of "Close" I select "

Would someone be so kind as to point me in the direction of a spiral that resembles a nautilus shell. Most spirals I've come across are large and run off the page while I am looking for a more self-contained, succinct design. There are many fine examples of Nautilus spirals on DA but they are made with Apophysis or some other fractal program. As for UF I have no idea which formulas to use. Th
