Quote - Are you sure it is not working?  I thought mine didn't work either because it does not show time passing at the bottom of the UF screen.  It does show the proper formula in the formula tab.  I got busy one time and left the computer alone for about 20 minutes and when I returned my APO was in UF.  Since then I have allowed ample time for the flame to get into UF and have not any problems.  I hope this makes sense as it is late and I do not have either program open.

 

As soon as I try to copy the upr into UF I get a notice coming up with a whole list of things it says it cannot copy, and this then results in just a very small image in the centre, which doesn't have any resemblance to the fractal flame in Apo.  It's really strange, because I know I have managed this in the past, but I think that's before all the later versions of both Apo and UF came out.  Anyway, presumably the list of protest means that even if I did wait long enough, I'd not get an image?

As for rendering straight from Apo, yes I do use the Flam3 rendering machine, and I guess if the worst comes to the worst I can interpolate it into a larger size, but I was hoping to avoid that step as it never quite gives the sharp finish I'm looking for.
