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

Is it possible to display the colors of a gradient on a layer. just as they are displayed in the editor ?
Layer would be identical to gradient colors.

Brought in a wood texture image and applied kaleidoscope mapping.

Any way to remove white lines it creates ?

Hi, I have a problem with rendering, I see one thing on the monitor but the rendering is from another image, can you tell me what's wrong?

thanks

I saw a painting by Bridget Riley (see https://www.smithsonianmag.com/arts-culture/new-exhibit-showcases-mind-bending-art-bridget-riley-180980563/) and wondered what I could make that would be similar. It’s clearly a case of adding waves to horizontal lines.

I wanted to start with a pixel formula and a coloring formula that would just reproduce the gradient horizontally and then apply a

The Waves transform can be used to generate interesting patterns or textures. The left third of the strip is the image from Group 1 of the upr below; it is the difference of two layers. The middle third is from Group 2, which is the difference of three layers. The right third is the difference of the two Groups. (I made the strip from three separate images using the FastStone Image Viewer.)

Trying to follow an online tutorial.

Can someone explain plaease how to create this to get started.

Many of you may have noticed that it was impossible to log in to the forum during the past week due to issues at the hosting provider responsible for hosting the Ultra Fractal web site. I'm very pleased to say that this has been resolved and the forum is back up again! My apologies for the outage.

I'm moving to a new computer. I've installed UF6.05 successfully. Where on my old computer are my Preferences saved? I'd like to just copy them over to the new computer, with a little editing.

The usual place would be
C:\MyName\Appdata\Roaming\Ultra Fractal 6
but I don't see anything useful there.

I'm trying to create a Droste effect animation of a single image inspired by M.C. Escher's print gallery version from a Leiden University study. Here is a sketch I made :
Thanks to Ultra Fractal and a Droste plugin from Jos Leys, I managed to create the desired effect :
As you can see I have a resolution problem on this last sketch due to the very high magnification (about 256 t

Hello,
Would someone be kind enough to take a look inside the sp3 formula folder. All I'm seeing is a bunch of gobbledygook and the formula I'm looking for is called Cubic Parameterspace 3. I'm trying to upload a parameter set of Ingvar's on DA and it's not working. I have updated all my formulas.
Here is what I see inside that folder:


Ingvar said it is the very first formula i

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.

You can read about the prompts here: https://www.aiweirdness.com/botober-2022-draw-human-draw/
and see the pictures I've made here: https://mrvelocipede.tumblr.com/tagged/botob

While watching a screen capture video of someone working in UF6, the Render window shows a resolution of 118.110 with no units. What’s up with that?

After reading Crystal Wizard's post of February 4 (https://www.ultrafractal.com/forum/index.php?u=/topic/832/dr-pickover-s-suggestion), I got inspired, or perhaps carried away.

In the Tutorials and Tips section of the forum, I have put a tutorial on my new Chaotic Attractors coloring formula and a upr with 15 sample layers. As a teaser, renderings of two of the layers are below.

Does anyone have the old gradient library? My hard drive died and I lost everything and am hoping someone has at least some of the old gradients.

I added a hard drive to my computer ( D: )
and moved UF to that drive.

Tried copying over parameter files to D: drive and adjusting Pref locations, when I got the error message.

Apparently parameter or public paremeters cannot be relocated.
Tried to set back as was, but still get error message.

Any help advice appreciated.

Starting a day or two ago, the names of the files that I render from UF6 have -00019 added. That is, instead of xxx.jpg, the file is named xxx-00019.jpg.

What could be causing that? I've restarted my PC, same result.

Dear UltraFractal folks,

I’m writing in the hopes that someone might assist me. I’m new to Ultra Fractal and am trying to replicate a very specific look for an art project I am developing. The closest example that I can find is one posted by Robert Töreki here: https://www.ultrafractal.com/showcase/robert.html
In his caption he mentions that it is “A study of using t

Greetings,
I'm having difficulty while using the tutorial on animations. It seems that as I playback my initial animation, it zooms in horribly pixelized rather than a smooth image. Why is that?. I have been doing the tutorials up to this point and im stuck. CAn you give me a hand?

I'm confused about the public section are these designs subject to copyright or can they be used freely?
