Best views for a Mac?

[Ricky40]

So then what would be the best viewer best suited for Mac? I am looking at getting a new Mac, any advice?

For the time being, Exodus would be pretty high on the list. It has migrated from Carbon over to Cocoa, and it has some tweaks for the Retina displays and full screen on newer OS X releases. Other viewers should eventually get these patches too.

Thanks got the tip.

Does Firestorm not use Cocoa yet?  Firestorm seems to work pretty well for me on my Hackintosh, though I know if I was running it on a Windows partition, everything would be so much better if I was using Nvidia drivers and the new software for it, instead of the usual kexts on the Hackintosh.  Was thinking about getting Exodus again, actually.

Nope, no Cocoa in Firestorm yet. It should offer a nice performance boost when viewers adopt it, though.

The Cocoa patches have been coming in by way of Exodus, that's why they got them integrated first. They were also involved with materials, and different changes can only move through the LL integration machine so fast.

My macs are getting a bit old and have used firestorm mostly. had lots of problems crashing in busy sims. switched to singularity and am very impressed, now I'm not crashing, settings on high and wish I'd discovered singularity sooner.
