Hi, I want to buy a new MacBook Air M3/24GB/10R GPU. Is Enscape going to work on it? I don’t understand why previous Macbooks Pro are on the minimum requirements list but the new Macbook Air M3 isn’t. Has anyone got any experience with that?
Only tested hardware is officially supported. M2 MacBook Air previously tested only meets minimum requirements.
IMO don’t buy minimum spec.
It should work, but non pro/max/ultra apple silicon should be considered as minimum spec. You should encounter some lags with macbook air m3.
I own a m2 pro mac mini (12 cpu / 19 gpu) with 32Go ram. With just a simple house modeling, I can consume more than 22go of ram, and memory presure at « amber ».
So I would recommenf at least m3 pro. Depending your needs, a m3 max with 64gb seems to be more comfortable if you plan to modelize complex or heavy 3d model with texturing and videos making.
If you plan to use enscape with sketchup 2024 : at this time you must know that you can’t use the « new gpu engine » in sketchup because it leads to a kernel panic as soon as you hise or close enscape window ![]()
The workaround is to use « legacy gou engine », but… this engine is waaaayyy far slower in sketchup.
