I've added two new Barnsley variations to the jam3.ufm folder in the UF formula database, Sectoral Barnsley and Function Barnsley. I believe that they are debugged, but let me know if you encounter any problems. Thanks.

I have been unable to update my formula files in the public database. They updated fine yesterday, but on each of my three attampts today, after a long period of what appeared to be a formula upload, I received a "connection was reset by server" error. By browsing the collection, I was able to verify that my formula files indeed had not been successfully updated. Thanks for looking into this i

On several pages of the UF6 manual (uf6-manual.pdf) near the end of the manual, there are overviews of settings to be used in de formula editor of UF. Hearby an example on page 265.
When I put the cursor of my mouse upon it to see the link and the explication of it, I see a link that probably comes from the computer of Frederik himself. Of course, I cann't read that help files and should

Hi, I'm attaching two renderings of the same location, (A) using anti-aliasing (3×3, depth 2, threshold 0.1), and (B) by simply taking a high resolution (just under 4×4 the target resolution) and downsampling the result. Variant B not only finished in less than a third the time, but also resulted in a picture with far fewer bright solitary pixels, which were the reason why I saw a str

Greetings,

For those who don't know me, I am an Ultrafractal user of its first hour. I am the mde.* among the formulas.

Just to say that my website, www.pruniermei.ca, will be closed at the beginning of december. So, if you have some links to it, you'd be better to change it. I will move what I want to keep on Blogspot at this adress: https://pruniermei.blogspot.com/, so you can make the

For those who like their gnarl the old fashioned way I've uploaded a fractal formula version of Dynamical Systems. Find it in mt.ufm. There are far fewer parameters than the coloring algorithm. For info on that see here...

I've also added four new dynamical systems functions to mt.ulb. Three

Hey every one...

I am returning to ultrafractal-ing after some 3 or 4 years. I think I still got it, Heheheh...

Just found out that v6 is out and kicking, I've downloaded and gonna check it out.

Just some quick questions:
Are the v6 parameters backward compatible with prev versions? At least to v5?

And if I open/save or edit/save a lower version parameter in v6, will it be re

I took some time to read through the interface changes in v6 and the Bugs forum category. I have extensively used UF4 and 5 previously and now I am not confident if I will comfortably be able to adjust myself to the new interface right away.

So, I was thinking to keep previous version while I learn the in's and out's of the new v6. Is it safely possible or likely to mess up both or one of the

I'm hoping to create animation that is both a function of time and space, but, can't figure out if it is possible in UF 6. As an example, let's say that I have created a single layer that contains a single Beziar curve that is colored all white. I can apply a coloring algorithm that changes as a function of time (i.e. a function of frame number). When I apply the coloring function, it applies

I don't know if this is the correct place for this but I have a question for the programmers. I took a fancy years ago to making designs in Microsoft Excel, treating the spreadsheet much like a needlepoint canvas. The whole trick lies in the ability to make rows and columns any desired width, thus creating 3-dimensional form.

I am familiar with the checkerboard pattern available in mac.ucl

Hello! I have been inspired by Samuel Monnier's work for many years; I am ready to take a deep dive into programming in UltraFractal in order to create my own artwork.

But since I don't know what I don't know, I could use some initial pointers regarding where I should begin my journey.

So far, I understand that there are several layers, each carry some graphic 'elements'. What would those
