Hi!
I am a newbie using Ultra Fractal 6.01 Extended Edition running under Windows 7 Pro, 64-bit, Service Pack 1.
In the Ultra Fractal manual, I have read the Quick Start and the Basic Skills tutorials. Before I jump into more advanced topics such as Layers and Transformations, I would like to develop a simple routine for creating new fractals. As I progress through the manual, I’l

I have been unable to update my formula files in the public database. They updated fine yesterday, but on each of my three attampts today, after a long period of what appeared to be a formula upload, I received a "connection was reset by server" error. By browsing the collection, I was able to verify that my formula files indeed had not been successfully updated. Thanks for looking into this i

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?
Thank you!

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

Hi, I'm attaching two renderings of the same location, (A) using anti-aliasing (3×3, depth 2, threshold 0.1), and (B) by simply taking a high resolution (just under 4×4 the target resolution) and downsampling the result. Variant B not only finished in less than a third the time, but also resulted in a picture with far fewer bright solitary pixels, which were the reason why I saw a str

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.

Find it in mt5.ucl.
This coloring algorithm is based on Chapter 14 of Clifford Pickover's book Computers, Chaos, Pattern and Beauty, where here introduced "Popcorn" and a number related gnarly equations. The rendering method used in the book, and here, is similar to that used by Flame Fractals. This doesn't suit Ultra Fractal's native method of calculating fractals, so the whole process has

Sometimes when rendering a single frame of an animation at high res, rendering stops near 90% loading 1 CPU and never finishes. If I delete the animation timeline it renders fine.

I attempted to implement a perturbation method for this fractal:
w <-- w/z
z <-- z^2+w^2+c
but it does not give the right result. Suggestions anyone?
MandelFoamPT {
init:
#z = sqrt(-1/2)
loop:
#z = #z^2 + #pixel
bailout:
|#z| <= @bailout
perturbinit:
#dz = 0
w = sqrt(1/2)

wo = w
w = w/#z;
#dz = 2*#z*#dz + sqr(#dz) + wo^2 + #dpixel

Seems like the outer iteration variable is reset in the inner loop.
Example below.

static func printCoeff(int K,int M)
$define DEBUG
int i=0
int j=0
while(i<=K)
;print("i1=",i)
while(j<=M)

; never get here, i is reset to 0?

Just found out that v6 is out and kicking, I've downloaded and gonna check it out.
Just some quick questions:
Are the v6 parameters backward compatible with prev versions? At least to v5?
And if I open/save or edit/save a lower version parameter in v6, will it be re

I took some time to read through the interface changes in v6 and the Bugs forum category. I have extensively used UF4 and 5 previously and now I am not confident if I will comfortably be able to adjust myself to the new interface right away.
So, I was thinking to keep previous version while I learn the in's and out's of the new v6. Is it safely possible or likely to mess up both or one of the

It seems that if my formula uses a static class function, it's rendered only on 1 CPU using "Render to Disk" when at arbitrary precision depth. If I write the formula inline it works fine.

Hi all,
Since the beginning of working with the Mandelbrot fractal, I was always interested in the point with coördinates (-2,0) because it seems to be some kind of border with nothing at the other side. Yesterday I dit a test and I zoomed in with a magnification of 1E-1, 1E1, 1E100, 1E1000, 1E2000, 1E3000 and 1E4000 (the max of UF6) and very strange, the image on the screen remained the
