Is it possible to set and calculate a variable in a formula, and read it in a coloring code?

in case somebody interested, I found a normalisation of the lambda formula.
init
a = (p + 1) / (2 ^ p)
loop
z = (a - z^p) / a z c

I had recently stumbled upon an idea... what if we could visualize formulas from quantum mechanics and general relativity as fractals? Is there a way to write formulas based on the mathematical and scientific equations behind them?

This is a follow-up to my previous Tutorial, “FormulaX Plug-ins”. If you haven’t read the introductory quote from the Ultra Fractal (UF) help file in that posting, do so now, and upload the latest version of the UF formulas. Here’s the upr and the image it produces.

Hi All,
In the month February 2024, 3 new fractal parameter files in the collection.
You can find the whole existing collection at the cloud of Microsoft:

Lets say I have more than 1 fractal window open.
I realize I can go to the top menu Window - ( choose fractal window )
Is there a way to assign a keyboard short cut to switch between the fractal windows ?

Hi All,
I'm working on a new game The formula is TMan in Russell Walsmith orgform.
Basically is my SlopeTMan that i'm rewritng and re-structured but i have a problem.
I have implemented the TMan of Russell and i added also a normal Mandelbrot that i attach under.
In your opinion is it correct?
That parameter is correct?
Try it to p1 (0.0 , 0.1), you will see the black line, i t

Hi - I'm trying to do some zooms and I'm getting a lot of "sparklies" in areas where there's lots of detail (hopefully that descriptor makes sense). Adjusting the anti-aliasing parameters help a bit but the sparklies never really go away. Depth 2 or 3 seems to have the most effect but the render times become extremely long. Threshold of 0 vs. 0.1 vs 0.2 doesn't seem to have much effect. I've
I’ll start with this quotation from the UF help file:
Since the first release of Ultra Fractal in 1998, the formulas written for it have become larger and more complex. Even though many formulas are quite similar, they could not share any common code, but had to be written as stand-alone formulas. For example, if you wanted to add just one new feature to an existing formula written by s

Hi there,
I love kcc outside coloring trap shapes. There is one however that doesn't work correctly when setting the background color to zero opacity, it's the bubbles trap. The other shapes are ok and the black disappears. I've even tried different formulas but with same results. Does anyone know why this is?
I've included an example and for some reason the params are very long, sorry

Hi everyone,
I'm very happy to announce the release of Ultra Fractal 6.06. This free update for existing version 6 users introduces native Apple Silicon support, so Ultra Fractal will now run at maximum speed on all new Macs using M1 or later processors. For both Mac and Windows, this update also includes various bug fixes.

I'd like to compute animation parameters outside Ultra Fractal and then import them as keyframes at specific times. For example, I'd like to import different seed keyframes and animate between them.
Is there any way to do that?
Right now I have to manually enter keyframes and values within the keyframe editor and that takes a very long time for longer animations, especially if I'm changi

Is there a way nowadays to export a flame (a single layer, actually) that is in an UPR as a .flame or to the clipboard or revert it back to be imported into Apophysis 7 or to the clipboard without any extra UF codes so that it can be read and redone? It currently uses the direct coloring algorithm (but it was originally made way before that, it's from 2004), and it's impossible to know which tran

If you use the code window, open the search dialog, copy a text from the code, mark the search field in the dialog, paste the text.
The text is written in the code window, not the search dialog.

In Formula plug-ins, setting
periodicity=0
in the default section is not allowed. It should be allowed, as it is in non-class formulas (*.ufm).
Ditto for setting
method = multipass

With some of my recently changed formulas I've run into a problem. Here's a screenshot illustrating the problem:

I've been seeing some strange behavior in some formulas that I'm working on and finally figured out why.
Here's some pseudo-code of how UF works. This is for the class version of UF; the non-class version works similarly:
for each pixel, repeat
call Iterate in the Formula plug-in to get a new z
if the new z causes bailout
call ResultIndex in the Coloring plug-in

Hello,
I ran into a bit of a headscratcher today when moving a commented line changed the output of my fractal formula. I eventually figured out that I had two comments, the first of which was a line ending in \ (the continuation character), and any line following a comment which ends with \ is not executed.

Has anyone heard of this old software called ChaosPro? There is a feature that allows the generation of hypercomplex, octonionic and quaternionic fractals. I wonder if something like that can be possible in Ultra Fractal in the future, as a means to learn more about them. Is it possible to add these in a future update, and adapt perturbation theory, series approximation and bivariate linear appro
Hello,
I am not sure whether this is a feature I missed or a bug, but I noticed my monitor not turning off over night recently and tried to figure out what was happening. I used powercfg /requests as admin to see what was preventing it and it turns out it is UF.
Is this intended behavior?
There was nothing rendering, but there were 7 fractals and 2 formula files open at the time.

Hello,
I've seen this several times now with different fractals, and I don't know what causes it, but sometimes multi-layer fractals are offset. This problem seems to go away when activating anti-aliasing in the working window. Here's a screenshot:
It seems to be always exactly 1 pixel along the y-axis of the monitor, no matter the rotation of the fractal. And it also remains 1 pixe

Hello,
there is a behavior of UF that I do not see in most other software: the window focus seems to apply to all open windows. That means if my monitor is plastered with UF windows and I click one, the entirety of UF is instantly in the foreground, that is the window that I clicked and all others as well.
Sometimes I want one small window open while looking at something else, it would be
