Title: Hi everybody! Post by: Jimmie on December 05, 2009, 05:39:32 PM My name is Jimmie. 36 years old. I'm more known as Jimpan1973 on DeviantArt. I came across fractals sometime in the middle on the 80īs. Then I had an Commodore Amiga 500. The fractals took forever to render. Some years ago I came across fractals on my PC again. I got my hands on some software and the show was on again. I mostly do my stuff with Ultra fractal 5. I nearly never do any postprocessing. The challenge for me is to do everything with UF. And I also do some work in Apophysis.

I came across fractals sometime in the middle on the 80īs. Greetings, and a belated Welcome to this particular Forum !! :) You must have been around 10 to 12 years old at that time of your life. Title: Re: Hi everybody! Post by: bib on January 06, 2010, 03:31:17 PM You must have been around 10 to 12 years old at that time of your life. What's wrong with that? Like Jimmie, I have discovered fractals when I was a young teenager on the Amiga 500 (which I used mostly to do music as I had a sampler and the first virtual 8-track trackers) and because my father offered me "The beauty of fractals" I think for my 12th or 13th birthday. Like Jimmie I discovered Ultrafractal 2 (back in 1999-2000) and had so much fun with it. My interest into fractal software decreased during many years until I started again last year. I remember when I launched UF 2 last year (I had not yet dowloaded UF 5) that the splashscreen could read something like "You have been using this evaluation version for 3600 days, you must now purchase it or..." :D And in 2009 I discovered that UF had become (one of) the standard to design fractals. So I thought that it well deserved it because back in 1999-2000 I had found that this software was so userfriendly and powerful that I was quickly hooked. I registered here, and after a few months experimenting, I realized it was too stupid to spend countless hours on UF to upload videos on Youtube marked with "evaluation version" so I bought the licence. BTW, does anybody have an idea of how many UF licences were sold in the world? Title: Re: Hi everybody!

Like Jimmie, I have discovered fractals when I was a young teenager on the Amiga 500.... Never said anything was wrong with it. Do you often read things into statements that are not there?? This is something that youngsters do before they fully grow up. :evil1: And by the way, 10 to 12 is not a "teenager". ;) :D BTW, does anybody have an idea of how many UF licences were sold in the world? There has not been as many as there have been people who have used FractInt. ;) Title: Re: Hi everybody! Post by: bib on January 06, 2010, 04:07:25 PM I was sure you would answer like this :D Don't you admit that when you write You must have been around 10 to 12 years old at that time of your life. some people could interpret this as you don't believe him or you find this is too young to be interested in fractals?!I was provocative and it worked ;) :D :evil1: As to fractint, you don't answer the question :police: :angel1: |
