I've taken a copy of the obituary in today's New York Times, but am unsure of the niceties of reproducing it here.
Harold became interested in artificial intelligence and AARON was his brainchild. It automatically generates images without human assistance and his version would continue to do so without pause - an amazing achievement. He made a version freely available for use by others a few
Here is a quote from the UF Help file:
The switch feature allows you to switch easily between related fractal types. One fractal type can be used as a map for another. This is very useful, since Mandelbrot sets, for example, are in fact maps of the corresponding Julia sets.
Unfortunately the built-in switch feature only works for traditional formulas. It doesn't work for object formulas (
Switch Formula Plugins Part 3
Two Switch formulas deal specifically with embossing, a technique that was originally developed by Kerry Mitchell. This tutorial will cover Switch Trap Embossed. A specific embossing coloring formula is required. This tutorial will use Emboss with Textures, which I prefer because of the plugins and additional color functionality available.

Is it possible making the links so that they open in an other window??
I cannot make the search facility work in this forum. Is it OK?
According to the tutorial on masking - fine-tuning the gradient - to select more than one control point in the gradient editor, one holds down control key and clicks on the control points. But the "help" facility says that control-click adds or deletes control points. I guess it might depend on exactly where one clicks. Perhaps my question should be about mice - how to be precise where one clicks
Just a small idea and request for a future version of UF; I would find it useful to be able to define a colour node in the gradient using a hex color code like #D4A190, for example.
There have been occasions when I have wanted to pick a colour from my screen to use in UF. I have a simple colour picker tool I use to sample colours and it can provide me with both the hex code and the RGB value

Does anyone know how to run UF in server mode on the Mac?
Disregard.

Feature request: I'd like to be able to apply a mapping transformation to a whole layer group, not to the individual layers.

Maybe this will be addressed in upcoming version as well, but is it a bug where the magnification and the zoom levels don't quite line up somehow when doing a deeper zoom animation. I'll set a keyframe, and then when I come back to it, it sways off to the side for a slight bit... Is there an easy way around this? Thanks!
Why? I'm asking a legitimate question about server rendering?

Please please please work on making UF faster! Any plans to implement the newest discoveries outlined in this document: http://www.superfractalthing.co.nf/sft_maths.pdf
After playing with software that implements this math, I feel like UF is 20 years behind! Sorry!

I would like first to say that Ultra Fractal is fantastic already. I've been using it for many years. However, I have thought of a few things it could use over the years:
3D fractals could really use a more interactive interface. Perhaps a button or automatic detection for 3D fractals that changes the mouse function to rotate either the camera rotation and/or the translation. Right mouse butt

I have worked over a month with Ultrafractals 5.5.4 on a macbook pro, running OS10.11.3. and have created some wonderful effects ( for a beginner) but 2 days ago, I wanted to add a parameter version of my latest creation and the program showed the window with my fractals for a split second, then the whole program crashed.
