Course description: Working with Ultra Fractal
Ultra Fractal is a powerful, feature-rich, and extremely versatile fractal generator that allows the user to explore many types of fractals and to create amazing images. But it has, by nature, a very steep learning curve. This basic course is geared toward relative beginners and those who would like to learn a methodical approach to exploring and creating fractals.
This series of Ultra Fractal courses increases in intensity and many students find it advantageous to take a semester off after the Masking course to absorb the information and practice the techniques presented before proceeding to the Artistry course.
Students must have Ultra Fractal 3 or 4 installed on their computer and have worked through the tutorials in the Help file. Although this course will explore many basic concepts in depth, a familiarity with the UF workspace and user interface is presumed. Please be familiar with how to:
Lesson 1 -- Exploring the Mandelbrot set
Lesson 2 -- Spirals and Julia sets
Lesson 3 -- Understanding the Gradient Editor and working with
basic coloring formulas
Lesson 4 -- Exploring Rose Range Lite
Lesson 5 -- Working with the Orbit Trap coloring formula
Lesson 6 -- Aesthetic Layering techniques
Week 7 -- Final Thoughts & Bonus information
