Hello all, I'm trying to get a clear/opaque background with the Bubbles trap shape but for some reason it doesn't work. I have Background Color set to zero Opacity. Other shapes work fine. Does anyone else get this same result? Thanks much. (This is referring to the kcc3.ucl folder)
Here's the same with Petals & Spheroids:
Is it possible to declare a Global Variable such that its value persists across animation frames? This is necessary when one frame of the animation is dependent on some computational state information of the previous frame, behond what is stored in the Parameters.
For example, the fractals produced in diffusion models, where the pictorial fractal is a representation of a computational state w

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

I found a random bug by accident. I typed in a value too high for the image resolution, and when it tried to resize to that huge size I got an opengl error "Your hardware configuration does not meet the minimum specification needed to run the application. The application must close. Error code: 6, would you like to visit nvidia.com blah blah.
Just so you know... a place to error catch I guess

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

Hello. I have Ultra Fractal 6. The program has given me so much joy. I did short films in HD size and I did render to avi. Recently, I wanted to make a movie in size 4k. And problems began. The file renders to the end, but only 4 GB (approximately 160 frames) is saved. And he does not start from the beginning, but somewhere from the inside. Is it impossible to make a 4k movie with this program, d

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.

My formula file om.ufm is getting quite large, 2017 kb, with a lot of formulas. I have just received a request from someone who uses the formulas for a new file. Is it possible to have an om2.ufm file, please?

Hi all,
I've been away from the forum for a while, so apologies if this has been covered already.
In UF6, when I'm rendering a job and back it up, the backup file (.urj) is HUGE compared with the same for UF5. For example, for the fractal below rendered at 4000 x 3000, when backed up at 25% complete, the UF5 .urj file is 603KB, while the UF6 .urj file is 187,612 KB.
Is this desired b

I had an error popup this morning that showed me options to close, restart or email. I tried email but I don't use a program for email so it couldn't do it. I use Gmail and would love the option to be able to copy all of the details into a document to send. Could you please add this option?

I just bought UF6 and every time I try to resize the fractal in inches the whole program locks up and eventually crashes and goes away.

Hello,
I recently purchased the UF 6 upgrade and I really like the new features. However, I am having two problems with the new version:
UF 6 causes the computer to hang for short moments while rendering a fractal (not rendering to disk). It completely freezes for a couple of seconds and I can't move the mouse or do anything, then it continues normally. I never had this problem with UF 5

Ok is there something I'm missing? Is there an easy way to set keyframes for color cycling that will keep looping forever. Currently, it seems like i have to set a key frame for rotation at 200, then keyframe it to -199, but then how do I make it just keep looping from there without having to reset with another keyframe back to 200?
Basically I miss just being able to say, rotate at this spee
Hi all,
In some coloring algorithm there is a loop, (for instance in the Gaussian integer algorithm)
loop:
iter=iter+1
temp2=#z
......
final:
I want to know when this part is executed.
Is it added at the loop of the formula, for instance Mandelbrot formula?
Thank you
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

I am using UF6 on a iMac with OS Yosemite.
When I open some parameters in UF6 they open with with all the layers displaced and I cant move them back into place.
some old parameterd open ok. but the gradient has changed into a kind of blue.

Would it be possible, at some future date perhaps, to add an extra line to the render log file detailing the exact time taken to complete a render? It would save having to work it out oneself... I'm really slow with that sort of thing.
Today I had occasion to do a render of a deep zoom. For various reasons I had to pause the job a few times. When I looked at the log I had to add four sets of

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?
I don't know if this is possible with the new windowless style of UF6... is it possible, when you close a changed fractal, to have the Confirmation dialog ("Save changes to.." ) forced to the top of the UF windows stack??
The reason I ask is that several times now I've had a mish mash of windows stacked over one another, maybe 3 fractals and a UF browser and have perhaps inadvertently "closed

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:
yesterday my AV/Antimalware, Emsisoft Anti-Malware, solution quarantined UF6, claiming it was a medium risk.
I have whitelsted it, however i am wondering if it is safe, and whay this should be.
Any reassurance appreciated..
UF 5 has the codec available to saving animations as AVI files.
I cannot find that option in UF 6. How am I supposed to save avi files?

In the slope (Mandelbrot) formula a «height» based on distance estimator is calculated.

I have two questions:

In the triangle inequality average coloring program we find:

lowbound = abs(az2 - ac)
sum = sum + ((cabs(#z) - lowbound) / (az2+ac - lowbound))

I suppose that !first means the value of first but I a
