Hello,

I recently purchased the UF 6 upgrade and I really like the new features. However, I am having two problems with the new version:

UF 6 causes the computer to hang for short moments while rendering a fractal (not rendering to disk). It completely freezes for a couple of seconds and I can't move the mouse or do anything, then it continues normally. I never had this problem with UF 5

Ok is there something I'm missing? Is there an easy way to set keyframes for color cycling that will keep looping forever. Currently, it seems like i have to set a key frame for rotation at 200, then keyframe it to -199, but then how do I make it just keep looping from there without having to reset with another keyframe back to 200?

Basically I miss just being able to say, rotate at this spee

Hi all,

In some coloring algorithm there is a loop, (for instance in the Gaussian integer algorithm)

loop:
iter=iter+1
temp2=#z
......
final:

I want to know when this part is executed.
Is it added at the loop of the formula, for instance Mandelbrot formula?

Thank you

Hey

I'm new with ultrafractal and I need some help. I'm trying to do a really deep zoom animation with a fractal I made. I figured its the easiest way to keyframe the "magnification" setting (to a REALLY high number). The problem is: the higher the number, the smaller the change. Concrete: The zoom starts REALLY REALLY fast and gets VERY slow at the end. I want to get a steady continuous move

Hi All,

The October 2017 collection of the parameter files of UF (12 new fractals) is sent to the cloud..
You can find them at the cloud of Microsoft:

I am using UF6 on a iMac with OS Yosemite.

When I open some parameters in UF6 they open with with all the layers displaced and I cant move them back into place.
some old parameterd open ok. but the gradient has changed into a kind of blue.

Would it be possible, at some future date perhaps, to add an extra line to the render log file detailing the exact time taken to complete a render? It would save having to work it out oneself... I'm really slow with that sort of thing.

Today I had occasion to do a render of a deep zoom. For various reasons I had to pause the job a few times. When I looked at the log I had to add four sets of

A favorite inside coloring I use in another program is called cos(mag). It gives nice simple stripes. Is there an equivalent in UF? I have looked high and low and cannot seem to find something similar. Would it be a function within a larger formula?

I don't know if this is possible with the new windowless style of UF6... is it possible, when you close a changed fractal, to have the Confirmation dialog ("Save changes to.." ) forced to the top of the UF windows stack??

The reason I ask is that several times now I've had a mish mash of windows stacked over one another, maybe 3 fractals and a UF browser and have perhaps inadvertently "closed

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

Hi all,

In the slope (Mandelbrot) formula a «height» based on distance estimator is calculated.
Can you tell the origin of these formulas, or an explanation?
Thanks

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,

Hello
I am a beginner with the writing of formulas.

I have two questions:

1.
In the triangle inequality average coloring program we find:

IF (!first)
az2 = cabs(#z - #pixel)
lowbound = abs(az2 - ac)
sum = sum + ((cabs(#z) - lowbound) / (az2+ac - lowbound))
ELSE
first = false
ENDIF

I suppose that !first means the value of first but I a

I've updated to v.6 It seems to run really slow. For example, I have to layers I make a simple change, like select a new formula. the status bar at the bottom will run for up to a minute while it calculates. I don't remember this happening on v. 5.

Apologies if this request comes too late for version 6!

I use two screens when using UF and like the feature that enables the Layer Properties and Fractal Properties etc. to be moved to the second screen, and that they can also be docked.

Would it be possible to have these two features enabled for Gradient window, particularly, and also the Fractal Window and Browsing window, too?

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

There is a script in apo that I really wish I could play with in UF (my apo got corrupted and can't find it now as it was removed from where I found it and cannot now find another version that will work on my mac) called Faerie Blossom originally written for Apophysis by Bunnie Clark and Bart Doetsch, am I wishful thinking here or is it possible?

Fractal Monster has some terrific images on DeviantArt. One example:

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
