oh i have yet to ask about the letters...

i was told by someone () that there's an OCA that does letters .. so that you can have like a whole text... if someone knows which OCAs do this, it would be nice to tell us

Found that yesterday but couldn't quite figure out how to use it. Didn't work with Mandelbrot but seemed a bit easier with Newton so I'm thinking there might be a formula that is specificaly set up to use that oca. Makes me wonder if there isn't a formula from the author of that oca to use it. Either that or I think people might be rendering psd files and using the eraser tool to remove unwanted letter sections from that layer in photoshop. Good luck trying to get what you need from that oca.

well so far i tried using mjd's formulas too.. but that didnt seem to work out.. but i did find using mandelbrot gave me a very neat idea when i made a cloud with little zzz's in it.... now if i can make a sleepy face, that would make it much more cuter

I have a question...

I was wondering if there is a way to get rid of the background image when you're using mapping? For instance, I want to use the glass hemisphere but I only want to keep the image that is inside and I want to get rid or somehow hid the rest of it. If someone knows how to do it I would appreciate it if they would share.

Thanks

Krystyna

Try using 3D Mapping, Spheres option instead of the Glass Sphere (same standard location). That will wrap the image around the sphere instead of just projecting it into the sphere. It's tricky to work with and may require partial gradient transparencies to work the way you want, but give that a try.

My question is this...how do you get an Apo into UF?? I know I did it once but all of a sudden it isn't working. Used version 202g to make flame, could that be the problem? Knowing me I changed some destination file that I shouldn't have. In fact my computer did this

Okay, there are a couple ways of doing that. Here's what I do and it keeps the quality the best.

1. Open UF and on the default image, select File/Save Parameters. On the window that opens up, under the file name, change the information to where you want to save the file to and change the name of the file by renaming the part right before .upr to whatever name you want. ex: C:\programfiles\ApoToUF.upr

2. Open Apo and do File/Export UPR. When the window opens up, click on the folder and look for the file you saved in step 1 and click save after selecting it as the location.

3. Go back to UF and select the Browse button or File/Browse, then find that file and double click on it. In the right hand window will be the apo file that you saved to it. Double click on that file and it will open it into it's own window so that you can work with it.

Aeries, thank you so much for the mini tutorial. That makes more sense than letting the program look for it. (or anything else I had tried ) I am still creating more disasters than fractals in UF, but I am learning. Some of my questions don't seem to be answered in the UF Help files, and some of the Help files seem to give me more questions that answers lol I have used several fractal programs so aren't new to them, just new to UF.

Thanks again!
