Wow! Just what I need!

I have tried so many times to get a hold of Apo and Mandelbulbs but the documentations and tutorials are too random and in most cases, don't cover the basics properly (You would know what I mean only if you have been working with UF for years). I tried to pick up things from here and there but it does not take you very far. On top of this, the respective software keeps changing significantly and buggy installations also put me off.

Its much OK these days so I am finally going in. Thank you for putting some time in writing this journal.

Happy you find this journal useful! :love:
In these days I had a conversation about beginning to deal with Apophysis and I thought it could be nice to put some suggestions. :aww:

I'm sorry, but I don't know what you feel, because I haven't tried UF yet. :noes:
Thank you for commenting! :D

UF has been there while apo, chaotica, Xaos, Frost, XenoDream, ChaosPro, Chaoscopia, FractalExplorer(FE) etc etc etc were not here yet and it continues to develop today. So many senior artists have contributed in this software over the decade. People like Janet Parke, Kerry Mitchell, Linda Allison and the list goes on. All of this and a lot more has made Ultra Fractal the most widely used and most efficient fractal processor without a doubt. Its interface is the most logical compared to any other fractal software I have come across in the last 8 years. So, despite the unimaginable potential in IFS or MandelBulb domain, the respective software are yet struggling to support a proper interface and help documentation. No offense intended. I am myself, a lot interested in these two.

UF is extremely organized and its every aspect is very very well documented and there are senior professionals every where to consult. All of plug-ins like add on formulas, mappings, algorithms etc are very well organized at the UF's own main site and updated weekly up to date. You dont have to surf gazillions of sites to down all that data.

Almost all of the work in my gallery is from UF. And I am gonna recommend that you must try UF first if you are into fractal art seriously. In fact, it is strange that you have not already.

Oops! Are you there???

Oh yes, I'm here! :rofl:
Well, I haven't tried it yet because I work on Ubuntu. :noes:
