Hi you for your detailed response, and I'm sorry if my reply seemed discouraging. The issues and also realise you need different packages to achieve theĪny help you can give to recommend the right pc I would need would be Version of autoCAD and it wasn’t until I went to render I began to find out I brought the newest MacBook Pro in order to future proof myself, but Iįeel I’ve just wasted £2500 on something that can’t do what I want it to doįrustrating I didn’t find this out earlier. I chose the Mac as I could get the i9 processor, where as most pc laptop Graphics cards, processors etc shall I look for? If I were to be able to return it, what pc laptop would you recommend? What Laptop so have been using it and have owned it for just under a month, soĭon’t think returning it is an option now having used it. I’m a bit stuck as I’ve been running the free version of autoCAD on the new I’ve done a lot of photography and used adobe in the past so am used to This is really devastating to find out having spent a fortune on the new Being new to CAD I wasn’t awareĪlmost all of them concentrate on pc versions making it virtually Into what was needed to run cad programs but I was concentrating on how I am in the unfortunate situation that I have only just purchased a new MacĪs I have been using Mac for years now and like how they operate. I don't mean to completely discourage you completely from trying this, but just wanted to note that you may have to jump through some hoops to get it to work successfully. However, if you download and install the latest GPU drivers (for Windows) under Bootcamp, then Apple no longer certifies this setup if you need help. The Apple-approved Bootcamp configuration for running Windows 10 installs older drivers, which may not be best for 3ds Max. (That is, you may be able to get it to work successfully, but if you have issues with this we can't easily offer technical support for this configuration.)Ī big issue when running 3ds Max under Bootcamp is to make sure sure you've downloaded and installed the latest Windows 10 drivers (manually) for the video card running on the Mac. Hat tip to MAX Underground for spotting this.Thank you for your question! Although it's possible to run 3ds Max (and other Autodesk software) under Windows 10 in Bootcamp on a Macintosh, Autodesk does not consider this as a supported workflow. *Actually, the announcement was made last week. Read the thread about the news on Otoy’s forum (Not much more information) Read Otoy’s press release on ORBX and ORBX.js However, as the controversy over Adobe’s decision to move to a cloud-only licensing model for its own creative tools indicates, that would be a move best handled with care. If Autodesk were to make its DCC software available as a cloud service – as it has begun to do with its engineering tools – it would resolve the longstanding user plea for Mac and Linux editions of tools like 3ds Max. The original announcement focused on cloud rendering, but noted that the partnership “will enable continuous integration of Otoy’s technology across Autodesk’s portfolio of software and services”. ![]() However, Otoy entered a development partnership with Autodesk in 2011. So far, there’s no indication of when the new streaming system will be made available in a commercial service. How long will it be before you can try this? The company’s cloud application hosting system then enables CPU and GPU draw commands to be virtualised on a cloud server and rendered inside a standard HTML5 webpage using the ORBX.js library. Otoy’s HTML5 client is powered by ORBX, a new “high-performance media codec built from scratch to decode 1080p video entirely in JavaScript”. Performance is slightly, but noticeably better, in the streamed version, with viewport previews resolving faster.Īccording to the news release, Otoy has also demonstrated the system in use to stream Valve’s Steam client and Photoshop CS6, although we haven’t been able to locate a video of the latter. The demo above shows a test scene running locally in 3ds Max 2014 on a $5,000 Alienware portable and being streamed from Otoy’s cloud service to the browser of an (unspecified, but presumably cheaper) MacBook Pro. Watch 3ds Max running faster on a Mac than a PC – kinda The system works on all HTML5 browsers, including Firefox, Chrome, Opera, Safari and IE10, including those running on tablets – and yep, on Macs and Linux machines. Cloud services specialist Otoy has unveiled ORBX.js: a JavaScript library that enables tools like 3ds Max and Photoshop to be virtualised in the cloud and streamed to any HTML5-enabled browser*.
