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 wink

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   afro

Other options for Windows software on a Mac are BootCamp and Parallels.

Greetings, and Welcome to this particular Forum !!!    smiley

Sockratease has given you some very good resources to start you off.  Terry Gintz's MAC programs are quite popular and offer many opportunities for exploration.  And Fractal Works 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 by Mike Frazier.  The 1.0.4 version was just released yesterday, and includes many major features.
