This is a formula I found initially through a program for the iPad called Frax...
They use a Line Average coloring algorithm... I googled it and found this.
I have no clue how to program it into UF, so I was hoping to find someone here that did know how...

float xmin = -2.5;
float ymin = -2.0;
float wh = 4;
float stripes = 5.0;
int maxIterations = 1000;

I've got a major issue with this coloring algorithm which won't render to disk. Unfortunately it's crucial to a design and I've drawn 10 layers apart, rendering them separately to disk until I discovered the culprit. My guess is that it leads to some sort of infinite loop in the rendering process which prevents UF from completing the task. I've also updated all files of the public formulas. If an

Plug-in Tutorial: Image Traps Part III

This is the last part to the tutorial. All of the example uprs use plug-ins for the Colors slot. Two of them are slow in rendering as they use an emboss convolution filter (3 min 31 sec for EtchedMetal and 16 min 22 sec for EmbossedGnarly on my computer - Intel quadcore 3240 3.4 GHz). Be sure you have Ultrafractal set so that the minimum number of threa

Hi All,

The August 2016 collection of the parameter files of UF is sent to the cloud.

You can find them at the cloud of Microsoft:

In writing this tutorial some bugs were found in some of the plug-ins. Please download a new copy of reb.ulb before continuing.

Continuing with a survey of the main plug-in slots the next section is Images and Coloring. The primary slot is Colors with a default plug-in of No Color. The base class is ColorTrap, which is in common.ulb. The following plug-ins will plug into the Colors slot, but

This formula is derived from the Ducks formula in sam.ufm with multiple modifications. Bailout is determined by the number of iterations rather than a convergence or divergence criteria, so an iterations parameter which is independent of the value on the Maximum Iterations value on the Formula Tab has been included. The value for 'Iterations for Bailout' must always be less than the Maximum Itera

Ottomagus suggested some additional functions to add to my extended function set that is used by Smooth Alterations, Ducks Switch and Lucy Goosey Switch. The coloring formula Smooth Alterations is the simplest test bed so I started there. After testing and debugging I have uploaded the latest version of Smooth Alterations to the database. Lucy Goosey will be next. Here is a quick example with th

It's not a bug but 2 years ago I made a fractal with Itelinsky in eew.ufm (this formula was added jul 31, 2014, reported in the list of modifications). Can anybody tell me where I can find it?
I don't remember if my fractal was interesting but I want to know if it is!
With many thanks

This is a follow up to a previous question on using external imagery. I'm doing a series of color cycling animations primarily but not exclusively using fractals for the hypnotic effect to create quick meditation trance states.

Hi.
is it possible to provide the option of alternative bailouts in the same formula?

More specifically, I wanted to include convergent and divergent bailouts:
|z|<@bailout (default 4.0)
|z|>@bailout (default 0.001)
It seems only one expression is allowed in the bailout section. Is there a way to do this? Any help would be appreciated.

'Widgeon', a variant of 'Ducky Plus'.

'Widgeon' is based on the same principle as 'Ducky Plus': change of the kind of operation during the iteration process. In 'Ducky Plus' there are 3 steps, each with a number of iterations, here in 'Widgeon', the second step consists of only one iteration.
So for each treated pixel the iteration series starts with a certain formula, determined by the pa
