MAC OS version ?

Big wish :slight_smile: a MAC OS compatible version for SU 6..

Re: MAC OS version ?

Yep - this is a big wish from many Sketchup users. There is now a build of the V-Ray SDK that will work on OSX (Intel-based Macs only I believe). So it is primarily just a matter of us porting our UI over. I think our next major release will probably support Mac OSX as well. I’m not sure about Motorola machines though.

Re: MAC OS version ?

very interested too !

Re: MAC OS version ?

Oh Oh !
good news.. I hope you’ll propose a cross update for the license PC → MAC :slight_smile:

do you have any idea when this could be? ???

Re: MAC OS version ?

i am planning to buy a macbook pro with a vrtual pc. will vray work for su6?

Re: MAC OS version ?

Well if you’re going through boot camp, then it should work fine. I’m not sure how well V-Ray works within emulators (like virtual PC and Parallels). Joe’s got a mac, so maybe he can say if he’s tried it or not.

Re: MAC OS version ?

I’ve got MAcpro and Macbook pro, with bootcamp SU6 and V ray it is just fine !
I’ve tried with Parallels, but it is not workable as SU can’t find a suitable graphic card drivers..

So I suggest to stick to Bootcamp…

Cheers

Re: MAC OS version ?

what i hate abot boot camp is that you have to reboot each time to get back to mac. i hear that their is another program way better than parallel is VMware Fusion.

Re: MAC OS version ?

very interested too !

Re: MAC OS version ?

me 2, feels like we’re waiting for ages for this… :-\

Re: MAC OS version ?

The RC that is currently available is a Service Release…our next major release is down the road quite a ways…(ie this will take a little time)

Re: MAC OS version ?

I’m not the biggest fan of the workflow Vray comes with, but if there where a Mac version, well … I’d might very well get me a license. 8)

Re: MAC OS version ?

Our workflow (which I agree is in need of work) probably wouldn’t change on a mac version…just because its on a mac doesn’t mean that its all of the sudden going to be better. BTW, the upcoming service release will significantly change material workflow which is a major part of things. So I’d give that one a whurl before you wait for the mac version

Re: MAC OS version ?

Well … I just got it anyway. And I must say, I’m seriously enjoying Vray. Running it under BootCamp, and everything goes real smoothly.

The workflow has indeed improved a little. All in all: fine product.

Re: MAC OS version ?

Same here. It runs smoothly in bootcamp (Vista 64bit) on the Macpro.
Actually, I never boot my Mac in Macos.

I wonder , would my Leopard die from starvation eventually? It has never been fed… :slight_smile:

Re: MAC OS version ?

Neither has mine, since I installed Ultimate 64. Shame, 'cause it’s a good OS. Better than Vista, in my opinion. Not that I don’t like Vista - I’m not one of them sectarian Mac lovers. Leopard (or Tiger, or …) just doesn’t have Windows’s, err, ā€œtrademark annoyancesā€. :wink:

I never liked the Mac version of SU, though. ā€˜Feels’ wrong.

Totally OT: you ever tried Silo?

Re: MAC OS version ?

[OT Back at ya]: yes I did. Looked as a real fine app, but as with all new things slightly more complex than sketchup I soon gave up :slight_smile:

By the way, the only software I would boot Leopard for, would be Final Cut Pro, as the Adobe video editing software (premiere and after effects) are monstruous and kind of counter intuitive.

Re: MAC OS version ?

yeah please a mac os version of vray for sketchup please ;D

Re: MAC OS version ?

Public betas are not too far away
