meet us here

although , i must mention that Vmware is not on the same level as Parallels when it comes to 3d and graphics ... older versions of open GL and and other technical shortcomings that i am not expert enough to explain other than that out of the 2 apps ... Parallels is much better suited for this type of use than VMware Fusion...
at least that has been my personal experience .... (ymmv)

cheers

i so agree i have tried vmware and i could not run it,i even went as far to buy a pc and run the demo and omg i just hate windows i brought the pc back so i hope the way you said to bootcamp it first then vmware will work

hi MecdotNet,

i would also love to have a native mac version....
but in the meantime ..... you can run iClone in Parallels or VMware Fusion.....
but you must install it in BootCamp first.....

you only get that message if you try to install it in a VM ... you can't do that ..
but you can run it in a VM , if you just install it direcctly into BootCamp / Windows first.

i only have 16g ram.... and i allow 8g for Parallels and it does just fine...
i haven't done much yet .... but just throwing a few minutes of lipsinc and some imotions at
that 4 piece virtual iClone band.... it did fine .
that's 2 guitarist avatars and a drummer playing instruments and i one vocalist avatar lipsincing one of my songs..... and it didn't choke or hesitate.

i stopped playing with it because i just can't stand to be in the Windows environment...
i am really hoping for a native mac iClone6
but you can use it in a VM if you want too... just install it in BC/Windows first...
then reboot into OS X.
by the way ... it's just the Program itself that won't install into a VM .... all the packs and templates and add-ons etc, can all install right in the VM.

hope this helps ...
cheers.

+1 for native Mac support

That would be great
RL: if you need Mac testers, let me know

EDIT: I thought I remembered Peter (RL) mentioning a native Mac iClone version being planned, but it seems I'm mistaken. Maybe iClone 6 as it uses a common platform for the GUI.

Running applications in a VM (virtual machine) environment can be tricky, especially if you need direct access to hardware such as full graphics card capabilities, sound cards, or add-on PCI cards.

It's one thing to run Windows, another to fully leverage your system.  Suppose you had two or three VMs running at the same time.  How much of your graphics RAM should each application (and OS) get?

It opens up a whole new world of complexity that would be a nightmare to support.

Now, if they wanted to make a "native Mac" version, that'd be another story, and I guess it comes down to being a business decision.  Never hurts to ask, though.

iClone 7... Character Creator... Substance Designer/Painter... Blender... Audacity...
Desktop (homebuilt) - Windows 10, Ryzen 9 3900x CPU, GTX 1080 GPU (8GB), 32GB RAM, Asus X570 Pro motherboard, 2TB SSD, terabytes of disk space, dual  monitors.
Laptop - Windows 10, MSI GS63VR STEALTH-252, 16GB RAM, GTX 1060 (6GB), 256GB SSD and 1TB HDD

Well, Apple doesn't allow me to run Mac software on my PC, so what is exactly your complaint? The required specifications for running iClone are clear enough.

Well, I'm running iClone happily on my mac pro under bootcamp with 32Gb RAM and a Radeon HD2600 XT graphics card and it performs just fine.

I'm not using any super funky lighting effects and nor am I aiming for any kind of photorealism.
Have got quite a few avatars in certain scenes too and all seems well.

Also run blender, sketchup, photoshop at the same time so no real issues here.

Would ultimately love to run Clone native obviously, but hey, if you're trying to tell a story, just be creative and the world will be yours. Or something.

It seems Reallusion does not care about Apple users since they just ignore us even if we try to install our iClones in Windows running in Mac. I am running i7 with 32GRam on Mac with windows 7 ultimate but all iClone5.4 as well as iClone5.5 and 3dXchange 5.5 shows a message "Reallusion program does not support virtual machine installation" . This is totally wrong for Reallusion to even block us from running our iClones in our MACs. I am totally not happy about Reallusion as their applications are good and powerful. Now I am forced to return back to my PC in order to use iClone and 3dXchange.
