Somehow, accidentally, I tagged an image as an animation, with one parameter having the animation indicator. As far as I know, I didn't do anything to do it, certainly not on purpose, and Animation was turned off as far as I know.
(1) How could I have done it, and how could I avoid it in the future?
(2) How should I undo it? I didn't see any way, so I edited the upr, taking out the code for

When rendering animations with motion blur, all is well for the first 90% of each frame. This is when UF is calculating the fractal and antialiasing. The four CPU cores are maxed out and the CPU is 0% idle, as shown below on Activity Monitor.
But then comes the final 10% of the frame, which is when motion blur is being calculated. UF suddenly gets a lot slower. The CPU is 70% idle.

Topic:
Combining fractals with Images.
And I get to this step:
"Locate the Color Trap plug-in parameter (currently set to Trap Shape Wrapper) and click the Browse button next to it. Navigate to the common.ulb file in the Public folder and select the Image Trap plug-in."
As soon as I click on Public->common.ulb

Hi, after using only notebooks for over a decade, I am thinking about getting a (Windows) desktop PC. Not being much of a gamer, my primary concern with performance is deep-zooming the Mandelbrot set in UF. Does anybody have a suggestion for this, or even a benchmark computed on their machine?
I've read Frederik suggesting an i7. Is UF specifically tailored to Intel? I never read anything abo

I've created serveral animations where I create with outputing slides to png's.
Though I noticed sometimes if I make a zoom animation too fast... the slides look blurry. Are there any tips anyone can give as what is a good "time frame" so the zoom is not too fast ratio to time so it wont look blurry?
I hope that makes sense.
I can upload a few frames if it helps.
Thanks in adva

Is there a way to create an animation that just color cycles the fractals?
I'm contemplating writing a new mapping formula. I could write this as a transformation in a uxf file, or use Plug-In Transformation from Standard.ulb and write a UserTransformation to go in my ulb file.
So far, I don't see any advantages to doing it one way or the other. Comments?
In a float param block, the compiler allows
default = 1/#magn
which can be useful, but doesn't allow
min = 1/#magn
which also can be useful.
Also the help entry "min setting" has a typo. The sentence "If this setting is not specified, there is no maximum value for the parameter." Obviously it should say minimum.

Hi folks. I’ve made a zoom animation. I like it and now I want to extend it by adding another section at the end. I want the zoom speed to stay the same for the whole animation. In other words, I don’t want the movie to zoom in slowly during the first part and then zoom in quickly during the second part.
I’ve found the image I want to use for the new end frame. But UF w
I have a problem. I tried using perturbation theory for the Magnet Mandelbrot type I fractal, but after going a quadrillion zooms, the image becomes... well, you know what happens.

This month I've been using Ultra Fractal to make illustrations based on drawing prompts generated by an AI. Kind of a frivolous exercise, but it has definitely sharpened up my techniques for using coloring formulas.

I see the only version of Ultra Fractal available for macOS is still an Intel build. Are there plans to do a build for the new Apple M1 processors? I imagine it would be a lot faster for those devices.
Would someone have an example of a neg mandel param similar to those of Dan Wills? I have only just come across these and woud like to play with them.
Mark Townsend's Fractalia formulas in mt.ufm in essence is
xnew = quadratic in x and y
ynew = quadratic in x and y
znew = xnew + flip(ynew)
Since each quadratic has 6 free parameters, he made 6 versions, Fractalia-1 through Fractalia-6, so the user could switch among them to help find good parameters.
My version instead uses one or two steps of randomization of parameters to help find a g
Has anyone tried to make a fractal from the Jenkins-Traub algorithm?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jenkins%E2%80%93Traub_algorithm
Here's a fractal with 100% of points Inside; no points reach the bailout criterion. The Statistics tab says that the Min and Max iterations are both zero. I would have expected that both Min and Max would be set to #maxiter.
This is either a bug or a feature.
Here's an example:

Would anyone have a copy of a 2001 or earlier version of the standard.ufx file with the sphere transformation? Probably came from version 1 or 2 of uf.
The built-in functions include round, floor, ceil, and trunc. Trunc rounds towards zero. For floats, the behavior of trunc is equivalent to the following:
float func trunc(float x)
if x >= 0
return floor(x)
else
return ceil(x)
endif
endfunc
There is no equivalent function with < instead of >. In mathematics, I haven't even found a name for this. The best name that I cou

Currently #numiter is readable only in the Final section of a ucl coloring formula. It is not even readable in the ResultIndex function of a ulb Coloring formula, where one might expect to be able to use it.
If #numiter were readable in any coloring formula, whether in a .ucl or. ulb file, some interesting coloring options would be available. For example, if coloring according to distance fro

Hey guys, Fate here! I just realised that in the 15 years I've been using UltraFractal, I've never actually made a post here, so I wanted to start out with a bang!
I'll be sharing the parameter packs that I've assembled from my pieces and share it with you guys here, on the off chance you don't have a deviantART account!

The compiler objects to the continuation character in the example below, says it's not a valid character there. The truth is that the comment is not allowed there (should it be allowed there?), and the error message is wrong.

It's fine without the comment.
