I am not much of a Mac user (I won't get into that) but can't you use something like Bootcamp to run the windows software on your mac hardware?

Doesn't sound like it...
What about a Virtual Machine on you Mac that would run Windows. I'm guessing your mac specs would need to be impressive to run the VM at a decent speed but it might be a solution if you are really desperate to run it from one machine.

you couldn't install iClone 5 directly into a Parallels or VMware virtual machine. however you could install it directly into BootCamp .. and then go back to Mac and you would be able to run it in your virtual machine . and even though the program itself wouldn't install directly into a virtual machine .. everything else like imotions and character packs and whatever add-ons and packages that are available would install directly into the VM
I just now downloaded the trial version of iClone 6 and installed into Boot Camp then I booted back into Yosemite and fired up Windows 8.1 in my Parallels virtual machine . iClone 6 starts right up and it doesn't seem to have any issues running in the Parallels 10 virtual machine .
just be sure to install directly into Boot Camp first ... after that everything can be done in the virtual machine. ..
The only drawback to using a virtual machine is you have to use the DirectX 9 option .. because neither Parallels nor VMware Fusion have implemented DirectX 11 yet .. but if and when you actually need DirectX 11 you can always just open it up in Boot Camp

hi can you'll tell me the specs of your mac so your saying install iclone thru bootcamp first then you can boot up the mac normal and then run it thru a virtual machine because my mac mini is a late 2012 16gig of ram 2.6 i7 hd4000 graphics, because i tried it thru a 30day of parallel said my specs could not run it,also thank you for the response

I realize that it will be a major engineering effort to support Macs, but I think Reallusion is missing out on a market of disatisfied mac Poser users by not coming put with an OSX version of iClone. Running it on Bootcamp is highly inconvenient in terms of workflow since I can't simultaneously switch back and forth from my Mac graphics and 3D apps to it.

iClone is written to take advantage of DirectX 9 or version 11. There is not way to get that to run on a Mac without an emulator (ie Wine) (DX 9) or Virtual Machine (DX 9), or Bootcamp (DX 11 if your hardware supports it). There just is no other way.
For Reallusion to make a true Mac version they would have to port the game engine to OpenGL. And there is the problem. iClone was just updated to DX11. How committed is Reallusion to the DirectX future? DX 12 will be out later this year. How hard will it be to update to DX 12 and be able to have that feature in iClone 7? I don't know but would it be harder to redo iClone for OpenGL? OpenGL NG (Next Gen) is the next version and comparable to DX 12 but it will not be out until next year sometime. I would not expect to see a OpenGL version of iClone until OpenGL NG is ready. But I have been wrong many times and all this is just speculation.
