This program is a great way to create your own fractal art. Today, fractals are much more than the Mandelbrot sets that you may have seen before.
With this program, you can choose from thousands of fractal types and coloring algorithms, zoom in as far as you want, use gradients to add color, and apply multiple layers to combine different fractals in one image.
Ultra Fractal is a fractal generation and rendering software application. The program was the first publicly available fractal software which featured layering methods previously only found in image editing software. Because of this the program has become popular for use in the creation of fractal art. The gradients used for fractals in this video are all ones I made myself, they do not come with the software. I used the Ultra Fractal gradient tool to make. This is a fractal I decided to name Mandelbrot Trinity for obvious reasons. The formula isz(n+1) = z(n)^2 + 2^c - c^2 + cwith z(0) = 0-Animation details:Lo.
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.

- I'm happy to announce the release of Ultra Fractal 6.04. This free update for existing version 6 users fixes several issues on Windows and Mac, especially when running on macOS 11 (Big Sur).
Moreover, formulas can also use plug-ins which lets you easily mix and match features. By combining different plug-ins, the possibilities truly become endless. For more information, see Plug-ins in the Ultra Fractal help file.
Create stunning fractal images or psychedelic animations based on variations of the Mandelbrot set and export your work to various file types

- What's new in Ultra Fractal 6.04:
- Fixed a crash with some graphics drivers on Windows with OpenGL acceleration enabled.
- Fixed various issues on Windows with 150% DPI scaling.
- Fixed various problems in macOS 11 (Big Sur): the buttons in the layers list wouldn't turn off, and items in some lists were not drawn correctly.
Digital art comes under various forms. Whether it's a 3D polished object that gets the audience's attention or a bunch of pixels placed in a retro style poster, these are created with powerful applications and beefy computers. Dedicated to a form heavily based on math and strong algorithms, Ultra Fractal lets you create images or animations from variations of the Mandelbrot set.
Use various external resources
Some time needs to be spent going through all the application puts at your disposal. Starting from a simple representation of the Mandelbrot set you can zoom in on any region for an infinite number of times. Colors can be managed, with a side panel holding various tools and general options. You also find a progress bar which is used to create animations by defining each frame.
File support is pretty impressive, both for import and export. Formats you can add are not only images and fractals, but also parameters, gradients, transformations, formulas and more. On the other hand, export is a bit easier, with options for pictures and even video.
Large variety of configurations
If you've never taken the time to enjoy the unlimited images that can be generated from a Mandelbrot set, then this is mostly how you get to spend the first few minutes. If not, there's a rich panel fitted with properties that let you thoroughly manage layers, properties, mode, statistics and even a color cycling feature.
Easily create animations
As mentioned above, you can use the application to create animations. Don't expect characters and interactions, not even sound. The overall effect is fully based on color and emerges you in a visual psychedelic experience, constantly zooming in or out of the set.
This is further enhanced by an option to cycle colors either in or out, which you set for multiple levels of zoom. The main window timeline can be enough for short animations, but you can bring up an advanced one to increase total time, manage layer placement and effects.
To sum it up
Taking everything into consideration, we can say that Ultra Fractal is packed with a lot more than can be said in a few words. A lot of time is required, not to get acquainted with the abundance of features, but rather to experiment with all possibilities and decide on just the right frame, position and color option.
