Ultra Fractal is the best tool to create fractal artwork and fractal animations. Whether you are a graphics designer, a video producer, a professional fractal artist or a complete beginner, Ultra Fractal will make it easy to create beautiful fractal pictures, animated textures and moving fractal backgrounds.
Get started quickly with the integrated tutorials
It is easy and fun to start using Ultra Fractal with the built-in tutorials. Starting with the basics, you will soon learn how to create your own fractals, change the colors, add layers, use masks, and even create animations. You can also download the PDF manual to print the tutorials.
Create fractal animations easily with the new powerful animation features
In Ultra Fractal 4, every fractal is potentially an animation. Every parameter can be animated individually. Animations can be as long as you want and use any desired frame rate. Editing animations is easy with the new powerful Timeline tool window, shown below. You can render animations with optional motion blur to image sequences or to AVI movies.
Explore thousands of fractal types and coloring options
First explore the standard fractal types in Ultra Fractal to get familiar with them. Then connect to the online formula database to download thousands of additional fractal formulas and coloring algorithms contributed by other users.
Enjoy unlimited deep zooming
You can zoom to virtually unlimited depths with Ultra Fractal. Deep zooming is fully integrated and works with all fractal types and coloring options, even those you have written yourself!
Use the classic selection box shown above, or zoom with the mouse by Shift-dragging or double-clicking inside the fractal window. Panning, rotating, stretching, and skewing are also supported.
Tweak parameters with the versatile Explore feature
Choosing parameter values is a breeze with the new Explore feature. Experiment with new parameter values by moving the mouse cursor over a coordinate grid in the Explore window, while the Fractal Mode tool window shows a real-time preview of the result. Explore works with integer, floating-point, and complex parameters.
Color your fractals and add transparency effects
Coloring your fractals is easy with the improved gradient editor. Drag the gradient curves up and down to create smooth ranges of colors, or use the Randomize options to quickly try various color combinations. You can also use the gradient editor to add transparency effects.
Compose fractals with multiple layers, masks, and Photoshop-like merge modes
One of Ultra Fractal's key features is layering. You can place multiple layers of fractals on top of each other to combine them and create intricate coloring and texturing effects. Add mask layers to create transparent areas that will let the underlying layers shine through. Store layers that you often use in the predefined layers menu to access them quickly.
Create flame fractals and other intricate effects with direct coloring algorithms
Direct coloring algorithms in Ultra Fractal provide richer coloring and new texture effects. Use the Direct Orbit Traps coloring to create smoothly shaded, pastel-like fractals. Or download Apophysis to design Flame and IFS fractals and import them into Ultra Fractal. In Ultra Fractal 4, it is now possible to render and animate flame fractals.
Render your artwork to produce fractal movies and high-quality images for printing and publishing
Create stunning fractal movies and high-quality images in full color at any size and resolution with the Render to Disk feature. Built-in anti-aliasing and motion blur smooths and sharpens rendered images and removes jagged edges. Ultra Fractal exports and renders to JPEG, Photoshop, TIFF, PNG, Windows BMP, Targa, and AVI files.
Multiple render jobs can be queued and rendered sequentially or simultaneously. You can also render multiple fractals from a parameter file in a single step.
Accelerate fractal calculations by connecting to other computers on your network
Connect to other computers on your local network or even on the Internet to speed up fractal calculations and disk render jobs. Ultra Fractal distributes calculations over the connected computers to accelerate them, which can easily double or triple the processing power of your own computer.
Write your own fractal types, coloring algorithms, and geometric transformations
Every fractal type, coloring option, and transformation in Ultra Fractal is a formula that you can edit and customize at will using the built-in syntax-highlighting formula editor. Add your own fractal formulas and coloring algorithms and upload them to the online formula database to share them with other users.
There is no speed penalty — your formulas will run just as fast as all other formulas because they are all executed by the same fast optimizing built-in formula compiler. The formula language includes complex numbers, arrays, variable types, color arithmetic, warnings, global sections, and debugging support. Full documentation with a searchable compiler reference is included.
Open and organize your fractal files
Organize all your fractal-related files with the integrated Explorer-like file browsers. Quickly scan formula files and parameters with the fast preview windows and powerful search tools.
Copying and moving fractals, formulas, and parameter sets is easy with drag-and-drop or copying and pasting.
Share fractals and get help on the mailing list
Join the free Ultra Fractal mailing list to discuss tips and tricks and share your fractals with other users. Learn more about Ultra Fractal by opening and examining the fractals posted by other members, and get help from experts in a friendly atmosphere. See also Support.
With excellent help file and PDF manual
An excellent help file in Windows HTML Help format is included with Ultra Fractal that is easy to read and full of information. The help file is available online as well. Alternatively, you can download or order the help file as a PDF manual for easy printing. There is also a Spanish translation.
