In Formula plug-ins, setting
periodicity=0
in the default section is not allowed. It should be allowed, as it is in non-class formulas (*.ufm).
Ditto for setting
method = multipass
So I played with UF again today. Somehow I'm ... still around ...

With some of my recently changed formulas I've run into a problem. Here's a screenshot illustrating the problem:
The red bars should not be there. If I reload the fractal, the bars are different but still red. I also get different red bars with and without anti-aliasing, and different red bars when rendering. This image is with min and max threads of 20, the max on my system. With fewer
I've been seeing some strange behavior in some formulas that I'm working on and finally figured out why.
Here's some pseudo-code of how UF works. This is for the class version of UF; the non-class version works similarly:
for each pixel, repeat
call Iterate in the Formula plug-in to get a new z
if the new z causes bailout
call ResultIndex in the Coloring plug-in

Hello,
I ran into a bit of a headscratcher today when moving a commented line changed the output of my fractal formula. I eventually figured out that I had two comments, the first of which was a line ending in \ (the continuation character), and any line following a comment which ends with \ is not executed.
While this kind of makes sense when thinking about it (i.e. the current command c

Has anyone heard of this old software called ChaosPro? There is a feature that allows the generation of hypercomplex, octonionic and quaternionic fractals. I wonder if something like that can be possible in Ultra Fractal in the future, as a means to learn more about them. Is it possible to add these in a future update, and adapt perturbation theory, series approximation and bivariate linear appro

Hello,
I am not sure whether this is a feature I missed or a bug, but I noticed my monitor not turning off over night recently and tried to figure out what was happening. I used powercfg /requests as admin to see what was preventing it and it turns out it is UF.
Is this intended behavior?
There was nothing rendering, but there were 7 fractals and 2 formula files open at the time.

Hello,
there is a behavior of UF that I do not see in most other software: the window focus seems to apply to all open windows. That means if my monitor is plastered with UF windows and I click one, the entirety of UF is instantly in the foreground, that is the window that I clicked and all others as well.
Sometimes I want one small window open while looking at something else, it would be
Hi everyone,
The last year I've been hard at work to update Ultra Fractal to run natively on the new Apple Silicon Macs. That was not an easy task because the internal formula compiler outputs JIT-compiled native code so it needed to be partially rewritten specially for the new ARM processors. I'm very happy to announce that it's ready for a public beta test now! If you own an Apple Silicon M

I'm currently evaluating Ultra Fractal on a 30-day trial basis on my Macbook Pro laptop and have two questions before I purchase this software:
Once I've purchased the license for this software, are subsequent new versions of the software free or will I have to pay each time a new version comes out? If I have to pay each time the next version comes out, does anyone know how much that costs?

Ok, this might be a bit of a weird one, but I just managed to produce a problem that I've been meaning to reproduce for a while now:
Sometimes, when I and rendering something to disk while the preview is still also rendering, all UF windows start flickering erratically and the program becomes all but uncontrollable. In most cases I can somehow hunt down the window in question and close it or

I've been playing around with the animation feature lately and have been attempting some fairly simple Mandelbrot zooms at low magnification. I created an AVI file for a 15 second video (both 60fps and 30fps) at 3840x2160 resolution, but when I tried to load it up I get an error that the video file is unplayable due to possible corruption. I attempted to play the file under 4 different media play

Hi All,
I have uploaded a new version of SlopeMandNewton, this versione presents 10 sets, all compatible with the last one, now i can share also the parameters.
I was wondering, is there anything I regret about this fractal community that I've known for 20 years now?
Yes, there is something, I have lost several contacts due to different political views, I will start by saying that I don

C'est bête mais je ne me souviens plus comment charger un programme d'exemple dans UF.
Merci de me rappeler la procédure.
When rendering a semi-deep zoom image on the regular Mandelbrot set, the final image produced has large rectangles of solid color covering the minibrot. I assume this has something to do with petrabution?
The bug seems to vary in intensity...
The bug seems to vary wildly from render to render...
When changing parameters, the image only updates after you change it again, after which the image will show the image with the previous parameters.
For example, starting with a power 2 Mandelbrot, changing the power to 5 will not update the preview, and changing it to 10 will update the preview to the power 5 Mandelbrot. Changing the power to 15 will update it to a power 10 Mandelbrot.

Completely new to Ultrafractal.
Is it possible (and if so, in a simple way) to do black and white (no gradient) scatter plots for Julia sets with Mandelbrot parameters (i.e. constant offset) as input (ideally selecting from a Mandelbrot plot)?
And is it possible to adjust "dot size" for that in a reasonable way? Background: The goal is to have these printed, and pure dots on big resolutio

In the formula editor, if I open up a Replace Box with Ctrl-H and try to paste into one of the lines inside the box with Ctrl-V, the replacement text goes into the formula at the cursor position instead of into the Replace Box.
This is not the behavior that I had expected

Hi,
I'm addicted with this new combination that i have discovered, here's another one, a different zoom of Newton Mask, i'm thinking to explore this formula and maybe create a new one exploring the Point of Source method in Slope 3D Enhanced III, it's the first time that i use this method in Slope and with Newton formula is perfect.
I will explore more

Request: Better control over periodicity checking.
Currently, periodicity checking is controlled by a limited set of options: "off, rough, normal, conservative". I don't know how it is implemented, but I am guessing some orbit distance threshold preset table or similarly.
I work with fractals that are very sensitive to the periodicity checking, yet turning it off altogether would real
