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 All,

This month 5 new fractal parameter files in the collection.

You can find the whole existing collection at the cloud of Microsoft:

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

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

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:

Says I can " click and hold down " Browse and a presets menu will appear.

Edit Presets, Add Current, Delete, Rename, Move.

That does not work no matter how long I hold.

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.

param enum F
caption = "F"
enum = "a" \ ; comment
"b"
endparam
It's fine without the comment.

param enum F
caption = "F"
enum = "a" \

I messed up my panels somehow.

At one time I could have both panels open at the same time and docked on the right side.

Now I can only have one open at a time .... if I click one, the other closes.

Any ideas how to fix them.

When I save parameters they are saved in a parameters folder.

If I click to open a new file, and look into that parameter folder, it is empty.

What am I missing ?

Came across a tutorial by Velvet Glove on a marble sphere.

So I'm trying different things and have image below and could use some advice.

With each layer added, the layer below becomes less visible or a little duller.

My question is how would I correct this ... is this where a layer mask would

Hello,

I just ran into this new problem. When I render to disk in high resolution, it tells me that I have to render in tiles because the image size would exceed 2 GB. This didn't happen before. Just to make sure, I tried to re-render an older image which previously worked, and UF is now also refusing to render it.

In one instance, the predicted file size was around 900 MB, the sum total
