Anyway, we support everything that maxwell have just the same for windows, mac and linux.
I think that's not the point. It's not about not wanting to develop for mac. As i've said the technology on Apple OS is so antique that it's impossible (please understand impossible as we cannot do it with our team size) do a GPU engine working on mac default cards that goes faster than cpu (and if it goes slower we don't want it, right?). And we know that Mac was (and i remark the past form) the OS for designers, artist and so on. But I think (and this is a personal thought, don't take it as NL politic) they are being forced to leave Mac and the market is smaller day by day. Some products are no longer supporting mac, and many other have less (or worst) features on Mac. And that's because Apple has stuck on time, and is really late right now.Nasok wrote:Sounds like you guys are giving up Mac .. sad to hear .. well .. we all know what happens to a software that goes only with one (the easiest and the buggiest) operating system.
Thinking about what is easy to do, and what is necessary is probably two different things. And regarding mac Gpu renders .. well .. then let's not mention radeon ProRender .. GPU for macs .. 'cause that would be impossible .. right
In fact I was not complaining ... but you guys probably need to go out to the industry and see what operating system dominates .. And I can assure you design, media, production and advertising studios they all mostly on macs .. and you guys want to give it all up because you're just pissed at apple giving up nvidia ? ... well .. that is also a strategy .. just don't say it is impossible ... people say it is impossible to render on maxwell because the waiting time is too long .. but once you figure out main principles - you're good to go.
