Is UF 5 worth 129$ ???

To do REAL Art!

That could easily be done in UF by importing into UF rather than exporting from it - in fact in that particular case it would almost certainly have been easier anyway

No chance at all of it being easier.  That was done with a physics simulation.  Nigh completely automated.

UF is nice, but you are just so far off base claiming it can do everything Maya can do - it hurts the credibility of your other statements.

so, just to make it clear, other fractal programs copy functionality, i mean script and formula parsing, this just marks the special position this program has,
surely as dave pointed out it could handle any data format, but lets be cool, it is hard enough to just import an image as orbit trap shape , so, in my
eyes the anser to the question if uf is worth 120$ it is just easy as if i programmed such a tool, i would take an equal amount of money to reward
myself for producing such a great software, and so, the answer to the originating question is: YES!

OK - I'll rephrase - just add the word "potentially" and exclude exportation of non-image types - since if it can be programmed, then you can program it in UF, in a language that's no more difficult than BASIC and only requires UF and no external compilers etc.
With the Animation version of UF doing any form of physics simulation would not be a problem, frankly I'm surprised no-one's done it yet....

yes i would say so but only if you want to do serious art

[David Makin]

Yes - just compare it with the price of similar gfx software e.g. Photoshop...
