How do you get images from the Apo to Ultrafractal?


sofie-filo posted Sun, 25 January 2004 at 1:27 AM

If you have a nice Apo-image, do the following: Edit>>copy as UPR (Ctrl+C) and paste (Ctrl+V) it in UF. But open UF before. That's all. Maybe you have to copy the apophysis.ucl in your UF formula folder before. This is for the Apo 2.0 Beta14. And join the Apo list for more background info.

What version of UF are you using?


sofie-filo posted Sun, 25 January 2004 at 9:15 AM

Did you download all the formulae (ufm's, ucl's and uxf's) from the UF formula Dbase? If you have UF 3.0X do as follow: Options>>update public formulas>>full formula collection That should help you.

I wrote this some time ago, but a great deal of it still applies: Here is how to get an Apophysis flame from Apophysis to UltraFractal 3. In Apophysis 2, on the Display tab of the Options Menu, be sure the "UltraFractal compatible" box is ticked. Generate the flame in Apophysis and edit it until you are happy with it. On the main window for Apophysis, you will see on the 3rd line icons for a variety of things. The first is an open folder, the second a floppy disk ( open file, save file) and so on. One of the items is 2 sheets of paper, one on top of the other (copy) To pick up the file you just created, simply click on that button. Open UF3. You should have a fractal window open. (usually this will be the default fractal, but any one will be fine.) Right click in the fractal window and choose paste from the popup menu. That's all...your flame will appear! It may take a moment or two, (or way longer, lol) so be patient. If it seems to take a long time, it may be that there are many iterations to calculate, and that is just the way that flames are.

Fractals will always amaze me!

The mod includes the symmetry parameter for transforms, and draws the flames with the same orientation as Apophysis (not upside-down). You should copy apophysis.ucl from the install folder to your Ultra Fractal formula folder, so that Ultra Fractal can find it. On the UPR tab of the Options dialog, with the "Flame Fractals" button down, in the Coloring algorithm section, the Identifier box should read "enr-flame-a" and the File box should read "apophysis.ucl". They should be the default on a fresh install but if you install over the top of the last beta then you'll have to change them manually."
