Member erb Posted May 19, 2020 Member Report Share Posted May 19, 2020 Warm greetings everyone,I hope this discussion is light, informative, professional and friendly. Thank you very much and I appreciate your time here. • Here's the short of it; I'm buying a new Macbook pro this spring. I don't want to regret spending too much or too little. (I primarily use Windows machines with RTX GPUS.) 'And since I can't trial 3DCoat on a new macbook until I have bought the macbook ..well.. you understand; I am seeking information. // I have 15 years experience working with 3D for various industries..so feel free to "get technical" with replies. ;)..and yes; I am gathering information about all primary tools as so I can make the best decision possible. -> (I prefer not to spend $4k+ on MacBook Pro if I can avoid it..especially because my ROG laptop from 2015 gets better GPU performance than the their AMD5500). I need a newer Mac for certain work so I am trying to find the best middle ground. Thank you for putting up with my bad explanation. ;) // General info/questions; • General performance insight.. say 10-20 million polys ? 50mil ? 100 mil ? • Unwrapping performance • polygonal modelling performance • Sculpting performance • Does 3DCoat for Mac run in a software rendering more ? .. or metal(?!) ? ..etc.. (if this info isn't ideally placed in forum, would you send it to me in email or private message ? thank you. ) I know this is an odd post. I'm an odd techhead kind of guy.

Member erb Posted May 19, 2020 Author Member Report Share Posted May 19, 2020 I tried to edit my post but it is awaiting moderation. I just want to add that I'll be purchasing a license of 3DCoat this spring/summer. I am thinking in regards of the floating license type. - I have been a lurking admirer for some years now. My life has relaxed enough where I have time to learn new tools/languages. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advanced Member sprayer Posted May 19, 2020 Advanced Member Report Share Posted May 19, 2020 (edited) Then buy Windows PC it has more performance for Mac price and more option to replace parts later. Intel GPU was never good for artist and 3d software Edited May 19, 2020 by sprayer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member erb Posted May 20, 2020 Author Member Report Share Posted May 20, 2020 UPDATE ..I am happy to archive this info for others; Story; - I forgot that I had a MacAir 2010 in storage.. I know, it's crazy but I felt I had little choice since the readily avail info about this topic is scarce and I was being impatient. ::wink:: /// Info: MacAir 2010 ; Sierra, 2.13Ghz Core2Duo 4GB Ram, GPU: 320m.• 10 year old mac Air vs. 3DCoat-> Winner: Everyone with a Mac that isn't ancient! (My MacAir is ancient but still capable of many tasks in 3DC.)I will make a few videos of 3DCoat running on my new Mac later this year. @3DCoat Devs -> BRILLIANT STUFF.THANK YOU. Signed, A guy with 17+ years experience in various 3D work and tool development. ..who is not easily impressed. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
