Hi David As per Eric mail for really heavy duty Softimage the only real windows option is to bootcamp which then runs windows.
I have also had Linux runing on one of our older Mac Book Pros (no Mac OS X at all) which ran Softimage very well. Sadly a native mac version is unlikely which is a shame as I personally feel it would give Softimages sales a bit of a boost. ________________________________ From: David Rivera [activemotionpictu...@yahoo.com] Sent: 21 January 2014 08:40 PM To: softimage@listproc.autodesk.com Subject: Solutions for running softimage on a MAC Station? Hi list, I talked to an IT guy the other day. He says that the MAC/WIN problem with softimage could be solved by virtualizing the MAC so Softimage can run in it. So I suggested that virtualization probably won´t take full advantage of the graphics card (as it is only an emulator of a "safe" display for windows in any case). So we agreed on making heavy-test-renders to see that point happen. In any case, are there any other solutions to installing Softimage into Mac stations? I´ve been googling and found no good - liable results. If anyone on the list with experience on network rendering / installing shares his/her experience on a softimage environment on MAC, would be greatly appreaciated. Thanks. Cheers. David. <table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" style="width:100%;"> <tr> <td align="left" style="text-align:justify;"><font face="arial,sans-serif" size="1" color="#999999"><span style="font-size:11px;">This communication is intended for the addressee only.
