Truespace in bootcamp question? // Archive: Tech Forum 1  |   Order by default Post by mykyl1966 // Jan 4, 2008, 2:29am mykyl1966 Total Posts: 221 Hi folks, I am about to buy a second mac and retire my pc's to the store room and want to continue to use my Truespace 7.5 (7.6 when its out). (Is there network rendering in Truespace?) Are there any issues folks have found with Truespace in bootcamp on an iMac? Pity its not opengl and mac compatable out of the box. ;) A future hope perhaps... :D The second machine will be an iMac 2.8 extreme version. Cheers Mike R Post by Ambrose // Jan 4, 2008, 3:18am Ambrose Total Posts: 261 Hi There Think you need to run in some compability mode or windows version within Mac. Here's the last network renderer: http://www.caligari.com/Products/trueSpace/ts5/plugins/caligari/tSNet/default.asp?Cate=Caligari I think I've seen discussions and that it were updated? for 7. Might also be scriptable...!? SeYa/Ambrose... Post by mykyl1966 // Jan 18, 2008, 11:01am mykyl1966 Total Posts: 221 For those like me who have switched over to the Mac. Truespace runs perfectly on my iMac in bootcamp. No real reason why it wouldnt but I thought I would confirm it. Hopefully VMware will sort out the directx side of things and then I will be able to run TS without having to reboot.

VMWare and directx? I think you may be waiting quite some time before those two go hand in hand. ;) Post by mykyl1966 // Jan 18, 2008, 12:51pm mykyl1966 Total Posts: 221 They already have it partly working. Its not fast and its not great but its a promising start. VMware Fusion offers experimental support for hardware-accelerated 3D graphics in Windows XP virtual machines, making it possible to run DirectX 9.0 applications and play select 3D games on your Mac. At least it didn't shaft my bootcamp partition... Unlike parallels. grrrr. lol. Cheers Mike R Post by hemulin // Jan 18, 2008, 1:14pm hemulin Total Posts: 1058 They already have it partly working.

I never knew that, however it is VMWare Fusion which you have to pay for. I tend to stick with the free versions, though I don't know if there are any free version for macs. If this version of vmware does end up supporting dx9 and therefore runs trueSpace properly I would be very interested.

I have a few applications I still want to continue to use. Cheers Mike R
