It's another Fractal Resource Friday, and Learning Ultra Fractal by *Velvet--Glove is a great resource for novice fractal artists! -- Suggester's words: Chris has put together a great guide for the beginner with Ultra Fractal. Instead of creating yet another tutorial, she has instead provided users a list of where to find the best tutorials and resources already in existence.

Description

UPDATED FILE: Version 1.6 ~ April 28th 2016
This is a guide for new users who would like to know how they can get started with using the fractal art program Ultra Fractal. It includes links to some of the best, and most relevant online tutorials and resources, on DA and elsewhere. I have also added a number of hints and tips that I have learned myself, along the way.

Please note that this is not a tutorial on the program, just a quick reference to other sources of quality information. A few people have asked if I would provide this info so here it is! Hopefully it will be of interest and help people to get started with UF. :D

If you find this informative and useful please :+fav: this deviation so others can find it. :heart:

Love your work but am confused. I am new to learning fractal design and have been experimenting with UF as well as Apophysis,.Chaotica, and a little Mandelbub. I see you seem to use a fractal for your base images but what programs are used to tweak the fractals afterwards? I've tried importing into clip studio paint but I don't believe it's the best one to use. Any suggestions?
