Hello, I would like to do the best mac pro configuration to work on 3D with Blender, Zbrush, then octane render and Photoshop and some other digital painting softwares.
I want to connect the mac pro to a cintiq pro 24 (with Thunderbolt, in 4K).
And I also want to be able to use some 3D applications which are only on Windows with parallel desktop like world machine and some VR softwares.
Some files will then be processed on Photoshop in very large format (for posters, so several gigabytes and many layers) or after effects, and final cut pro in 4K.
I would like the opinion of professional users about the amount of ram needed, the minimum graphics card, and processor best suited to this kind of work.
(Minimum budget, I will not take the ram from Apple obviously)
thank you for your answers.
 
Hi,
There's a Mac Pro specific Forum and I think you'll get more in-depth info/recommendations there.
I'd also mention which Mac Pro you're referring to e.g. MP 5,1 MP6,1 or MP7,1.
