I've noticed something recently that has caused me some unwelcome extra work, although now that I've pinned it down I can take care to avoid it. I thought I would just mention the issue here in case it's something that needs attention.
The issue concerns the dragging of a Group to a new fractal window. It occurs in both UF5 and UF6 and can be 100% reproduced by doing the following:

I've got a series of Julia seed values that I've carefully keyframed, and now I want these keyframes to repeat because the first/last keyframes are the same and it will loop. I'm trying to find an easy way to copy this set of keyframes and paste over and over adding more keyframes... Can someone help? Thanks! I tried doing it in the timeline editor but couldn't get it to work...
In one of my formulas there is a parameter that is required to be non-negative. If I put in a negative value, a sound plays and the parameter is not changed. Perhaps a message flashes on the bottom line of the window, but if it does, it's too fast to read.
This can be confusing to the user. A message like "Parameter out of bounds" would help if it stayed up a few seconds.

Hi, I have a working copy of UF6.1 but I can't find my serial. Can I update to 6.2 without it? If so how? The Upgrade edition on 6.1 is greyed out. I am hesitant to install 6.2 for fear I will lose the 6.1

Hi!
More about plugins …
I’ve been doing some readings about plugins and this is my interpretation of what I’ve read.
In the computer world, a plugin is a program that adds functionality to a larger program. In the context of UF, plugins add functionality to UF but are customized for particular formulas, algorithms, or transformations.
Thus, it follows that one

Hi!
To create a fractal image one could understand the relevant math (i.e., Fractal Geometry) and the functionality of the software that generates the image. The relevant math is beyond the grasp of most artists and the functionality of complex software such as Ultra Fractal is, at least initially, also beyond the grasp of most artists.
As an alternative, one could ignore the math and id

Hi!
I understand, maybe incorrectly, that a fractal image is (1) a set of numbers, generated by a formula, and displayed as POINTS, and (2) rules for coloring the POINTS.
In UF, is there a way for replacing the POINTS with SHAPES (e.g., a triangle)?
If so, how do I do it?
Thank you!

Hi!
I want to create a JPG file for printing on canvas. The canvas size is 16 inches (W) by 12 inches (H). At 600 PPI, the JPG file is 9.600 pixels (W) by 7.200 pixels (H).
To begin a fractal, what parameters should I use in the “Fractal Properties: Image”?
Or, does it matter? If UF files are scalable like SVG files, then only the width/height proportions matter.

Hi!
I am a newbie using Ultra Fractal 6.02 Extended Edition running under Windows 7 Pro, 64-bit, Service Pack 1.
Out of curiosity, how often do you use the Switch Mode?
I can see myself using the Select Mode often; not so the Switch Mode.
Thank you!
Dr. T
I'm very pleased to announce the release of Ultra Fractal 6.02. This is a free update for Ultra Fractal 6 featuring a fully customizable toolbar on Windows. Just right-click the toolbar to select which buttons to include and whether to use large or small icons. The update also contains various bug fixes and small improvements and is a recommended update for all Ultra Fractal 6 users.

I've added two new Barnsley variations to the jam3.ufm folder in the UF formula database, Sectoral Barnsley and Function Barnsley. I believe that they are debugged, but let me know if you encounter any problems. Thanks.

Hi!
I am a newbie using Ultra Fractal 6.01 Extended Edition running under Windows 7 Pro, 64-bit, Service Pack 1.
To learn Ultra Fractal, I am following the Tutorials. When applying color (Layer Properties > Outside > Browse), whatever I select will change the color parameters but not the pattern. Am I right?

About a month it is not possible to update new formulas in UF 5.

Is there a way to change the default interpolation of an animation key frame from smooth to linear?

Pausing computation: Provided I'm not missing any existing functionality, is there anybody else who would welcome a pausing feature for 'normal' computations, i.e. outside "Render to Disk"? Sometimes when I was too greedy with open windows, I'd like to be able to prioritise which image actually gets completed first, or I keep a window open for some reason whose computation I'm not currently inter
Hi, I rarely use this merge method and I think it's not working the same in rendering as in display mode. This happens in the latest version of UF 5 and 6.
Thank to check out this. I'm losing some very nice parts of my composition.

For some days, neither of my UF5 or UF6 could access the formula database for updates. Now I notice that my UF6 again updates properly when I select that option, but my UF5 still annot connect. Can this be corrected?

On several pages of the UF6 manual (uf6-manual.pdf) near the end of the manual, there are overviews of settings to be used in de formula editor of UF. Hearby an example on page 265.
When I put the cursor of my mouse upon it to see the link and the explication of it, I see a link that probably comes from the computer of Frederik himself. Of course, I cann't read that help files and should

For those who like their gnarl the old fashioned way I've uploaded a fractal formula version of Dynamical Systems. Find it in mt.ufm. There are far fewer parameters than the coloring algorithm. For info on that see here...

I've also added four new dynamical systems functions to mt.ulb. Three
Here are some belated examples and a few tips...
The first example is a good starting point for exploration. Note that the Drawing Method on the Formula tab is set to One-pass Linear and that Repeat Gradient on the Outside tab is un-checked. The gradient is greyscale. You can try other types of gradients but the results will vary.
