Are there any plans bring support for Apple Silicon to Maxwell render?

Yes, it would be good to know the plans for Apple Silicon. Hope this is in the future.

Bought the top model yesterday. Hope to be able to use Maxwell Render on it natively asap!!! Cheers

Anyone knows if it runs reliable on Apple Silicon through Rosetta 2 translation?

It does run very well. Can’t see any particular showstopper type problems. There was one button in Maxwell preferences (not Studio but Maxwell Render app) which makes it crash (can’t remember at this moment which one) but other than that all good.

But it’s time to have a native version. Blender is here, Cinema 4D is native, Houdini for M1 works great too. Corona renderer, Redshift… All of them are Apple Silicon native now.

Ok good news that it runs, perhaps I need an upgrade to M1 Max or Ultra, Rhino feels a bit sluggish on macOS vs Windows, just over running on two OS's. We can only hope for a native version, but as Maxwell never supported the AMD GPU's, it perhaps not very likely it's coming anytime soon.
