Autodesk 3Ds Max

[iTitos]

Hello whats up ?!

I'm making 3D animation and recently i bought my Macbook pro
and i wonder if i can use 3Ds max on macintosh but without boot cam
or parallel desktops !!

any suggestions ?!

Maybe through Wineskin or Crossover, but it is better to run 3ds Max via Windows through Boot Camp, though I could use a 6 million poly object in 3ds Max installed via Parallels.

If you have an SSD, you will have very fast boot times.

Okay, that is all you got from that post?.

Then you either have longer boot times or try to run it via Parallels Desktop or VMWare Fusion. You need to run Windows in some way to work in 3D Studio Max, or since Autodesk owns it, 3ds max.

Run it natively in windows - it will work best there.

I used to use this program a lot years ago, but I always used it with PCs I built myself. They were nearly always massively powerful machines.

You won't be running it in Mac OS on its own however, they don't do a mac version.

As other have stated, no Mac version.

If you wanted to use something native to Mac Maya, Cinema 4D, Blender, Modo, and pretty much all others are available for Mac OS.
