Is there any way to make formula variables visible in the coloring formula loop? I'm trying some fractals with more than one variable z and need to use both in coloring.

I have an ugly workaround basically doing all the coloring in the fractal formula and stuffing the color index in #z at the end and then just setting #index = #z in the coloring formula.

Hi Frederik,

I have a list of complaints and requests for 6.01. I'm using Windows 10.

Make it so that the Render to Disk window can be minimized or allow it to move to the back so that I don't have it in the way of my workspace during a render.

This isn't too much of a problem... but if I inadvertently close the Render to Disk window during a render, allow it to be reopened without c

I've got an annoying issue with UF 5.04 EE. The formula files below show up as black and white when I click to do a New Fractal. If I double click on a specific formula, it'll then load with whatever gradient I've chosen in the options in a new Fractal# window. I've tried repeatedly changing the gradient then restarting UF and even restarting the computer. It didn't used to act like this. I notic

Hi!
I´m experiencing lots of crashes with UF 6.01 nowaydays.

I recently reinstalled Windows 10 on my computer and after that when I installed UF 6 and started the software it crashed, installed 6.01 and it has been crashing all the time.
Mostly when I´m "multitasking" in UF (making quick changes before it has rendered what im doing).

Sometimes it just gets stuck in the

Has anyone experienced something like this with UF6? Brightly colored static-like pixels. After rendering they disappear.


thanks,

I'm hoping to create animation that is both a function of time and space, but, can't figure out if it is possible in UF 6. As an example, let's say that I have created a single layer that contains a single Beziar curve that is colored all white. I can apply a coloring algorithm that changes as a function of time (i.e. a function of frame number). When I apply the coloring function, it applies

I don't know if this is the correct place for this but I have a question for the programmers. I took a fancy years ago to making designs in Microsoft Excel, treating the spreadsheet much like a needlepoint canvas. The whole trick lies in the ability to make rows and columns any desired width, thus creating 3-dimensional form.

I am familiar with the checkerboard pattern available in mac.ucl

When UF6 is started, the Ultra Fractal startup window appears showing that the program is starting. Sometimes that seems to take several minutes, which seems like a long time (especially since UF5 always starts very quickly) but I could live with it if I could continue to do other work while UF is initializing. However, the startup window insists on being in front of everything else, making that

A bug in the Windows version: When a UF6 window is showing along with undocked tool windows (like Gradient and Layer Properties) and the "Show desktop" button on the taskbar is clicked, everything is minimized as expected. But switching to a different application (not UF6) will incorrectly show the undocked UF6 tool windows.

Workaround: Open a UF6 fractal window and minimize it to make the un

Hi Frederik,

I do not understand why you've removed the toolbar with all of its friendly options from UF6 for Windows. Version 5 is so user friendly yet 6 has made it tedious and time consuming having to click this or that through the menu commands to do the same things.

I am an end user that paid for and loves your software to create art for my business. I'm begging you to add it back. O

Hello! I have been inspired by Samuel Monnier's work for many years; I am ready to take a deep dive into programming in UltraFractal in order to create my own artwork.

But since I don't know what I don't know, I could use some initial pointers regarding where I should begin my journey.

So far, I understand that there are several layers, each carry some graphic 'elements'. What would those

I really miss the Eyedropper button in UF6. It's a function I use frequently and I'm finding it a bit fiddly to access it via the popup right-click menu on the Gradient Editor, which seems to be the only option right now.

I would therefore like to lodge a request for this to be re-instated in UF6, if possible. Perhaps as a little eyedropper button on the Controls section of the Gradient windo
