Title: New Kid Post by: katanna on August 25, 2010, 06:51:19 PM Hi my name is Kat aka Katannna,
I was a pretty avid Ultra Fractal user until a few years ago when I started having some computer problems. Before I knew it I was no longer dabbling and exploring. THis past week I got a new computer and well I was hoping that I could somehow get started with fractal creations again. ONE BIG PROBLEM..I have a new mac. I know its doable now but it seems like there is all this other stuff I need to do to make this work. SO IM here to see if anyone has sound advice for me I have a new MAC OS X version 10.6.4, 3.06 GHz Intel Core 13, 4GB 1333MHz DDR3 I do not have the latest version of Ultra Fractal...its probably 2 years out. for those of you who use a mac, what suggestions could you give this new mac user. Thanks kat :dink: Title: Re: New Kid Post by: Sockratease on August 25, 2010, 10:48:40 PM Hello and Welcome to the forum!
I picked up a program called "Crossover" and it runs many windows programs on my mac (but I have osx 10.5.2). It does run UltraFractal, and many other fractal generators - but not all. As for native mac programs, try Terry Gintz's site : http://www.mysticfractal.com/ Many options there. Also, my favorite mac only toy - Duncan C's Fractal Works available here: http://web.mac.com/dchampney/Site/FractalWorks.html More in the Mac section of our Fractal Software section - http://www.fractalforums.com/macintosh-fractal-software/ Hope that helps O0 Title: Re: New Kid Post by: cKleinhuis on August 25, 2010, 11:57:50 PM be sure to check out the quadrium software

I have a new MAC OS X version 10.6.4, 3.06 GHz Intel Core 13, 4GB 1333MHz DDR3 Greetings, and Welcome to this particular Forum !!! :) Sockratease has given you some very good resources to start you off. Terry Gintz's MAC programs (http://www.mysticfractal.com/) are quite popular and offer many opportunities for exploration. And Fractal Works (http://web.mac.com/dchampney/Site/FractalWorks.html) by Duncan Champney is another one that every MAC user should spend some time with. And many more may be found.... Also, there is a new application available called Fracton (http://www.fracton.org/) by Mike Frazier. The 1.0.4 version was just released yesterday, and includes many major features. |
