I'm sure Apple can likewise convince millions of customers to settle for Apple GPUs for certain models of Macs.As we all know, Houdini is a 3D software application developed by SideFX. Intel managed to persuade millions of customers to settle for built-in Intel Iris graphics. You bought Apple's monitor, so you accept Apple's video technology with it. The iMac is unlikely to support external GPUs, because of its built-in monitor.A single 5K monitor would use 60% of Thunderbolt 3 bandwidth and a 6K monitor (or dual 4K monitors) would use 75% of the bandwidth. The Mac Mini (future versions) might support external GPUs, but I wouldn't count on it. The Mac Mini (and iMac) would burn most of its Thunderbolt 3 bandwidth (at least for one of its two busses) on video traffic if it allowed people to obtain external GPUs for 6K monitors.Apple will not add an extra layer of API translation which nVidia expects to be built into macOS. I don't think nVidia is willing to support the Metal 2 API in their video cards' firmware.

The future Mac Pro is likely to support "decent GPUs." Although I'm not sure how you define the word "decent." If your definition includes nVidia GPUs, then no.

When you say "on the mac," do you mean (a) the Mac Pro or (b) the Mac Mini or (c) the iMac? Depending on what you meant, I have different opinions: Really hoping we're finally getting decent GPU's on the mac.

Redshift costs $500 per node-locked license, $600 for a "floating" license, or as part of a subscription license with Cinema 4D for $983.88 per year.

Redshift requires macOS Big Sur 11.0 or later on Apple Silicon Macs, and 11.3 for Intel-based Macs.Īside from the M1's graphics, the software can support GPUs included in many Mac devices, as well as external eGPUs on Intel Macs, specifically "Navi" or "Vega" GPUs or later with 8GB of VRAM or more. "We're thrilled that creatives working in macOS environments can now take advantage of this powerful and flexible GPU-accelerated renderer built to meet the specific demands of contemporary high-end production."Īs a GPU-biased renderer, the tool is used to render files created in many different applications, including Autodesk's Maya and 3dsMax, SideFX's Houdini, The Foundry Katana, Blender, and Maxon's own Cinema 4D.

"When Redshift joined the Maxon family in 2019, extending support to our user community on the Mac platform was a top priority," said Maxon CEO David McGavran. It is intended as a universal app, with support for Intel-based Macs arriving soon with the release of macOS Big Sur 11.3.Īs well as benefiting Mac-based artists who do not need to switch to a different platform to use the renderer, the native support for M1's integrated graphics is said to provide substantial efficiency improvements for workflows. The initial release includes native support for Apple's M1, as well as the Metal graphics API. While the tool has been available on Windows and Linux for quite some time, Maxon announced it had brought the software to macOS on Tuesday. Redshift is a biased 3D rendering tool used by digital artists and animators to create 3D scenes, images, and animations.
