Up-to-date Formula Collections:
The official Ultra Fractal Formula Compilation (compiled by Kerry Mitchell)
which contains all formulas posted to the UF Mailing List. Get this first and look at the date on the file.
If it is more than 24 hours old, you may need to get one or more of the following --
especially if the parameter file you're trying to run asks for a formula in one of these collections:
akl.* (ucl, ufm, uxf) Andreas Lober
asz.* (ufm, uxf) Andrαs Szolek
BobM.ufm Bob Margolis
bwp.ufm Brian Prentice
carr*.ufm Robert Carr
dmj.* (ufm, ucl, uxf) Damien Jones
enr-convert.ufm Erik Reckase PHC/PTC conversions
gfp.ufm Gedeon Peteri
gwfa.* (ufm, ucl, uxf, -matrix.ufm G.W.F. Albrecht
kpk.* (ufm, uxf) Klaus-Peter Kubik
ldm.* (ufm, ucl, uxf) Dennis Magar
lkm.* (ufm, ucl, uxf) Kerry Mitchell
lp.* (ufm, ucl, uxf) Luke Plant
mac.* (ufm, ucl, uxf) Marcello Anelli
mde.ucl Michθlle Dessureault
mmf.* (ufm, ucl) Dave Makin
mt.* (ufm, ucl) Mark Townsend
pwc-convert.ufm Carlson Conversion Collection (Ken Childress)
raf.* (ucl, uxf) Ralph Feltens
rdw.* (ucl, uxf) Robert (Red) Williams
reb.* (ufm, ucl) Ron Barnett
sam.ufm Samuel Monnier
sg.* (ufm, ucl, uxf) Sylvie Gallet
sp.* (ufm, ucl) Stig Petterson
vdb.ufm Danny Van den Berghe
And if that weren't enough, you may need one or both of these FractInt formula collections:
frac_ml.frm Les St. Clair's collection of FractInt mailing list parameter and formula files which can be used in UF2
orgform George Martin's Orgform collection (slightly less than a zillion FractInt formulas!!)
Mailing List:
UF List FAQ
List Archive
All parameter files posted to the list (compiled by Jan Vyvey)
Mailing List "Challenges"
Viewing and Posting pars to this list:
To View an image:
Highlight the par text (the name of the image and the text between the
curly braces { }), Copy (Ctrl-C) and Paste (Ctrl-V) in an open window in
Ultra Fractal -- Yes, this really works!
-or-
Save the entire email message in your Ultra
Fractal/Parameters folder using a .upr extension. Then use
File|Browse|Parameters (or Ctrl-B) to choose the image from the Ultra
Fractal browser.
To post parameters to this list:
With your image open in UF, Copy it (Ctrl-C), and then Paste
it (Ctrl-V) in your email message. Yes, this really works, too!
(Please reduce your image size before posting - pk)
If you write your own formulas and post them to this list, please
register your initials with Kerry Mitchell (lkmitch@primenet.com)
and follow this naming convention:
[yourthreeinitials].[uf_file_extension]
(for instance: dmj.ufm, dmj.ucl, dmj.uxf).
Thanks!
