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

I've tried over and over to follow the tutorial. One of the instructions request to copy the seed values from the document, which I did and verified by pasting to a note, however I keep trying to do this over and over, to paste to the fields but the option to paste complex value remains grayed out. I even tried the keyboard commands but no result. My only workaround is to manually enter the valu
Hello everyone,
I'm in the final phase of getting UF6 ready and I'm looking for some Mac beta testers. If you're willing to test the new Mac version and give me some feedback, please send me an email at info@ultrafractal.com.
Thanks!

When trying to change the font under the Browser tab in preferences the application crashes. this is on a Mac, with latest OS version, as soon as I place a font size, or select it (using 12) it just crashes. I've included a screenshot of the area I was in. I can replicate this multiple times.
Part of the OS error log is shown below:

Frederik, I wonder if you can comment on the following situation which has happened to me just recently...
Firstly, I'm in the habit of always saving my image parameters "with formulas" to cover situations where algorithms get deleted or altered and to avoid my designs being "broken" by these actions.
Last year I made a fractal image that used a colouring algorithm from om.ucl. Since th

Sorry - I have one other request!
I would like to be able to switch on and off Mapping formulae on all multi-selected layers (using the little coloured icon to the left of the formula name on the Mapping tab of the Layer Properties window).
At the moment it only switches on and off on one layer even when multiple layers are selected.
Is this possible, do you think? Thanks!

I was searching for this answer, but couldn't find a definite. Is it possible to import into a layer, another file format, like a PNG or TIFF. I can accomplish the same thing the other way by importing the Fractal export in readable format into PS and layer it there, but was just wondering if possible during the construction of the Fractal itself.
Also, I'd like to know the size limit I can

Trying to follow manual. Get to this point "● To load a pre-saved gradient, select Replace from the File menu." for the life of me can not find a "Replace" link in any menu. Where is it?

I literally downloaded the trial yesterday. I can't get past the very first paragraph that, in part, states:
"● Click Close on the File menu to close the fractal window. Now, the workspace is empty except for a
row of Tool Windows on the right side of
the screen."
when I follow this, the whole program shuts down. The only workaround I could do is instead of "Close" I select "
It's been so long that I've done any UF programming that I've forgotten how to get the window boundary values in fractal coordinates, assuming that there's no skew. I remember that #ctr gives the center. And there's some stuff about the width to height ratio being over or under 4:3.

Greetings. Back in the days of the old mailing list, there were so many discussions about what it took to make a fractal image one's own, but not nearly so much discussion relating to modifications of fractal formulas in UFM files. Most of us have modified z = z^2 + c many times without a thought, but what about other fractal formulas? Many of us have been asked for permission to modify our fo

Would someone be so kind as to point me in the direction of a spiral that resembles a nautilus shell. Most spirals I've come across are large and run off the page while I am looking for a more self-contained, succinct design. There are many fine examples of Nautilus spirals on DA but they are made with Apophysis or some other fractal program. As for UF I have no idea which formulas to use. Th

I hope it is ok to post other artist's fractal work here. I found this on Renderosity, and Wow, what a masterpiece! It caught my attention even though it is from several years ago, created with an older version of UF. It was made by Daniele Lupo, one of the UF formula writers. He even posted the parameters in his formula file, among others. I attempted to upload it but not all of the pieces

I am an avid fan of XaoS and it has a very unique fractal called Catseye. There isn't much documentation on it, I don't know where it came from, and I have no idea what the actual formula looks like. Perhaps it can be uncovered somewhere on GitHub? It has some incredible potential when varying the bailout value and the different fractal planes. Here are some designs I worked up mostly in Juli

Hi I am new to the forum & new to Ultra Fractal. I havn't done fractals for a few years & originally used Apophysis but I am loving learning what UF can do.
I have a quick question. I know this can be done for Apophysis though must admit have forgotten how to do it but can gradients be created from outside of UF & used within UF. If so is there a tutorial?
Many thanks Anne

Hello, Fractalers,
I just found out about a YouTube video showing a massive zoom, and I would like to share the URL with you. The video is 9 minutes long. Here it is:

Hello All,
I'm new to the forum and I have been studying Ultra Fractal for several months now, there sure is a lot to learn. I've been loving every minute of it and I have many questions. For starters, I somehow came across a lot of beautiful gradients in the KCC folder. I don't see much discussion about them anywhere and I'm sure there are other pre-loaded gradients accessible in UF. Why

I'm having a problem animating my videos. Whenever I make an animation that zooms really deep, after some zooming in the correct position, it doesn't zoom to the spot I want to and instead into a random point in the darkness. Please help.

Hello! I don't know much about this program, and I'm really bad at math so I don't know what I'm doing here. But I have a sequence of numbers that I would like to somehow punch into the software and see what it looks like.
How would I do this?
I understand I have to make complex numbers, but I dont know anything about writing equations so I was wondering if someone could help me with that

My fractal art differs from the typical ones created by UF as being less "complicated". That they are more simplistic is primarily due to lacking advanced mathematical skills. Most begin with a posted formula that I randomly and almost haphazardly revise without awareness of what the results will be. Examples are posted at www.nsapc.com/fractal. I would like to hear from others who use a similar
QuadMirror, in jlb.ulb, takes a block of your fractal and mirrors it multiply in all four directions. You specify nx and ny, the number of repeats horizontally and vertically. There are two ways to specify the block to repeat.
(1) Visualize your fractal divided into nx by ny blocks. Specify any point in one of them. This block will be unchanged, and the others will be mirrored around them. Th

I had UF 2.04 and bought Ultra Fractal 5 Extended Edition upgrade. The computer I originally had UF 2.04 on crashed, and I don't have the license for it any longer. It was so long ago, I no longer have the email I received because I switched internet providers. I sent an email to info@ultrafractal.com, and have not received a response back. There was information in the email with the licsense rec
PixelCoordinate, a UtilityTransform, takes as argument a fractal coordinate z and returns the corresponding pixel coordinate.
Is there a similar transform that takes as argument a pixel coordinate and returns the corresponding fractal coordinate?
If not, I could write one.
I'd like to do the following in the default section:
int param p1
; stuff
endparam
int param p2
min = 1
max = @p1
endparam
but UF6 won't let me use @p1 here. Is there any way around this other than checking in the Init section?
