Has anyone started a list of coloring algorithms that will work quickly with the new deep zooming capabilities? As in what makes one compatible with the perturbation method? Currently I'm just zooming in and then trying out different ones, but thought I'd throw this out there.

Also, just looking for any general advice on using coloring algs with deep zoomed fractals (mandelbrot/julia). Orbit

Are these color presets/classes available somewhere within the reb folder? I cannot seem to locate them no matter which formula I choose. I love all the colors available in the kcc folder and use them extensively for either inside or outside coloring. I see some different ones here that Ron Barnett is offering but I don't know how to find them. I've checked his website also, perhaps I'm missi

Hi. Is the maximum size of resultant png still only about 2000px? I'm starting to play with fractals, and one of the advantages of this prog over others sounded to be larger size output. I'm thinking 3000x4000 not mega massive.....
At the moment I only have Evaluation mode, if that changes anything.
Ta.

Hey

I'm new with ultrafractal and I need some help. I'm trying to do a really deep zoom animation with a fractal I made. I figured its the easiest way to keyframe the "magnification" setting (to a REALLY high number). The problem is: the higher the number, the smaller the change. Concrete: The zoom starts REALLY REALLY fast and gets VERY slow at the end. I want to get a steady continuous move

A favorite inside coloring I use in another program is called cos(mag). It gives nice simple stripes. Is there an equivalent in UF? I have looked high and low and cannot seem to find something similar. Would it be a function within a larger formula?

Hi All
I'm looking at upgrading my laptop at some point & wondered if any of you have any thoughts on the best technical specs to go for, to get the best performance for UF. My laptop is OK but trying to work on other fractals whilst rendering really slows things down & doing anything else whilst rendering is almost impossible unless I'm happy for the render times to go through the roo

Hello to everyone.

It's been ages since I opened Ultra Fractal and now when I tried to open an old parameter I got the missing formula window.

Can someone link me to "Kgnarl 14" please? It is not in the database.

greetings,

Lilliane

Hi all,

It is with great pleasure that I announce the release of Ultra Fractal 6! This is a major new version for both Windows and macOS with many new features such as 64-bit support, ultra-fast deep zooming, Retina/High DPI support, and much more.

When I try to change a formula some of the choices just show a black screen. If I open the black screen I am unable to edit. When I change something, the screen remains black. I am running Windows 10 64 bit. How can I get the formulas to work ?

I would like to know what happens when someone uses the trial version of UF to the full. After 30 days does the trial stop working? I've never used a trial for that long myself so don't know what happens!
(I recently upgraded to UF6 Extended, yay!!)

Also, I know a few people who are a bit reluctant to upgrade. They may well install the trial then uninstall it - perhaps waiting until they

Fractal Monster has some terrific images on DeviantArt. One example:

He kindly provided the parameters.

I thought I would try this really deep zoom in UF6 and then try to print it.
I suspect I made more than one mistake in the process.
I turned it into a large (14 x 10 inch image at 360 ppi for an Epso

So... starting to scratch some headway into this fantastic program. I had a question about accepted use of using formulas and rights of an author.
If a formula is shared, in open forum, or as a public download, and I use it to modify and create images, for sale, are these mentioned formulas royalty free? As an image creator and photographer, who normally builds images off original photos, I

I was wondering about the upgrade policies for this application.

I see there is a v.6 coming out, if I buy 5 for the Mac, will I have to incur an update price for 6? How is this handled. Do I get all the version for a release? such as 5.xx etc, and then pay for full release?
(not sure if I'm using the right verbiage)
thanks
