    How do I get Blender to run on my Mac? I have downloaded the Mac version but when I click on the icon it bounces once and then nothing....


    Thanks :)

    Is it an X11 app? If so, have you installed the X11 server from the Tiger DVD?

    Nope - Blender is not a X11 app - it runs natively. There are, however, separate PPC and Intel versions, so it is worth checking that you've downloaded the correct version.

    Yeah, Inkscape is X11, which suggests you've got that set up correctly. What model Mac are you trying to run Blender on? Does it have a nVidia 6800 graphics card, which according to the Blender website has issues?

    Has anyone got Blender running a new Mac Pro yet? I have been trying but no luck. Is there something better out there that will work in the same price range, I mean free.
