Hi all! I am in need of advice. I have been rendering on SketchUp for years using Windows, but recently thought about switching to a Mac. Does anyone have some input on this? I am rendering interior and exterior spaces for interior design purposes and have a Pro license. I am wanting to upgrade and start using V Ray. Which would be better for my needs?

So, steering back tward topic. Does anyone know of a formal or informal list of the differences in the UI between the two operating systems. It would be useful to know when deciding about switching, and useful for me when answering questions across platforms on the forum.

of course, but we did not live in a perfect world and posting this in every thread with OTs would create additional noise on top of the OT itself… as you can see above.

Towards, but not on topic. Topic is, which OS works best with V Ray? If you use V Ray and can give a review on how V Ray works on both systems then you are on topic.

Trying to steer back on course… Long time Mac user here , but if your plans are to use Vray stick with a Windows machine. You will be able to make use of the gpu rendering ability of Vray. Suggest spending some time on Vray forums to see what would be the best setup for a new machine.

[image] Sketchup plus Vray Pro I know @eric-s has a setup with a Mac Pro system, you would wish to get a percentage of the quality he is getting. The thing is, if you are used to that OS for so long, you’ll better think twice for switching. I always say that you could learn to love Apple, but learn to hate Windoze… That said, with upcoming cloud-based solutions for rendering, I would take the ‘lesser’ capability regarding the CUDA’s and profit from the use of use of the OS. V-Ray User Interface will work for all the OS’s … https://forums.sketchup.com/search?context=topic&context_id=87705&q=Vray%20Mac%20Cuda&skip_context=true

SHORT don’t go to Mac. Apple advised me to get a PC to render. Couldn’t give me the assurance a new Mac would do the job to render in Enscape3D. Speaking of rendering. Have a look at Enscape3D. You can achieve amazing result in a fraction of YOUR time; w 1920 pixels, 4 seconds :wink:

I can Advice ENSCAPE. I am working with this for 2 years and it is so good.

[image] Box: I can’t understand what you could possibly mean by this, that’s pretty simple, permanently claiming that something is OT is often more annoying than the OT itself. Besides of this, there is a OT flag available under every post (“…”).

mac! don’t think twice ! ollie
