I was searching for this answer, but couldn't find a definite. Is it possible to import into a layer, another file format, like a PNG or TIFF. I can accomplish the same thing the other way by importing the Fractal export in readable format into PS and layer it there, but was just wondering if possible during the construction of the Fractal itself.

Also, I'd like to know the size limit I can

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 "

Greetings. Back in the days of the old mailing list, there were so many discussions about what it took to make a fractal image one's own, but not nearly so much discussion relating to modifications of fractal formulas in UFM files. Most of us have modified z = z^2 + c many times without a thought, but what about other fractal formulas? Many of us have been asked for permission to modify our fo

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

I hope it is ok to post other artist's fractal work here. I found this on Renderosity, and Wow, what a masterpiece! It caught my attention even though it is from several years ago, created with an older version of UF. It was made by Daniele Lupo, one of the UF formula writers. He even posted the parameters in his formula file, among others. I attempted to upload it but not all of the pieces

I am an avid fan of XaoS and it has a very unique fractal called Catseye. There isn't much documentation on it, I don't know where it came from, and I have no idea what the actual formula looks like. Perhaps it can be uncovered somewhere on GitHub? It has some incredible potential when varying the bailout value and the different fractal planes. Here are some designs I worked up mostly in Juli

Hi I am new to the forum & new to Ultra Fractal. I havn't done fractals for a few years & originally used Apophysis but I am loving learning what UF can do.
I have a quick question. I know this can be done for Apophysis though must admit have forgotten how to do it but can gradients be created from outside of UF & used within UF. If so is there a tutorial?
Many thanks Anne

Hello, Fractalers,

I just found out about a YouTube video showing a massive zoom, and I would like to share the URL with you. The video is 9 minutes long. Here it is:

Hello All,
I'm new to the forum and I have been studying Ultra Fractal for several months now, there sure is a lot to learn. I've been loving every minute of it and I have many questions. For starters, I somehow came across a lot of beautiful gradients in the KCC folder. I don't see much discussion about them anywhere and I'm sure there are other pre-loaded gradients accessible in UF.

Hello! I don't know much about this program, and I'm really bad at math so I don't know what I'm doing here. But I have a sequence of numbers that I would like to somehow punch into the software and see what it looks like.

How would I do this?

I understand I have to make complex numbers, but I dont know anything about writing equations so I was wondering if someone could help me with that

My fractal art differs from the typical ones created by UF as being less "complicated". That they are more simplistic is primarily due to lacking advanced mathematical skills. Most begin with a posted formula that I randomly and almost haphazardly revise without awareness of what the results will be. Examples are posted at www.nsapc.com/fractal. I would like to hear from others who use a similar

QuadMirror, in jlb.ulb, takes a block of your fractal and mirrors it multiply in all four directions. You specify nx and ny, the number of repeats horizontally and vertically. There are two ways to specify the block to repeat.

(1) Visualize your fractal divided into nx by ny blocks. Specify any point in one of them. This block will be unchanged, and the others will be mirrored around them. Th

PixelCoordinate, a UtilityTransform, takes as argument a fractal coordinate z and returns the corresponding pixel coordinate.

Is there a similar transform that takes as argument a pixel coordinate and returns the corresponding fractal coordinate?

If not, I could write one.

Sind die Standart Fraktals die ich im Programm mitgekauft habe frei? Sprich, darf ich daraus meine eigenen machen und die für Videos und Cover nutzen?

I have Ultra Fractal running on my windows PC and the server running on my MacBook Pro. When I add the server in the networks tab it keeps connecting and disconnecting very quickly. On the server in the log I see lots of the following message:

Error loading parameters: Could not find 'Julia' in '::00000000:2'.

Any idea what could be wrong?

I cant afford the full software and I just want to mess around and learn about fractals.
Is there a free version? I'm not a company or anything I just want to have fun with fractals on my own.

Do I have to reinstall my whole OS if I want to use it after trial period expires? I dont see any other alternative.
