I just boot camped into windows, and I had to duplicate that model 6 times before it felt about the same as parallels. Moreover, I had fixed the texture links this time so the model in the view port is fully textured. About 650k poly total (versus ~100k poly in parallels.) Of course, since the...

I went ahead and bought an iMac anyway. Just in case anyone out there is thinking of doing the same thing, I'll post some info. Windows XP SP2 (100GB boot camp partition) running in parallels desktop 3 Default Parallels virtual machine configuration (512MB RAM, 16MB VRAM 3DS Max 9 software...

Wow, you're fast. I'm not going for the low end, but iMacs are still more expensive for me. I suspect it's because they use notebook parts, but have to compete with desktops. Anyway, if 3ds max ran on it, I'll buy one in an instant since the value of having mac os x is worth it to me. You may...

I know, but I'll end up spending most of my time in windows, which kind of defeats the point of buying an iMac in the first place? Especially since it's more expensive than a generic windows box and not easily upgradeable too. And if i dual boot too many times the licensing breaks... I mean, I...

Actually, I was referring to licensing for 3ds max. (Quite alot of forum posts on how boot camp seems to break 3ds max licenses.) Anyway, I guess that kind of killed my hopes for getting a mac instead of yet another windoze box, since I'll be using 3ds max quite a lot. Even though it'll mostly...

Thanks for the reply. I know boot camp is better, but I'm just wondering how much I can get away with in parallels/fusion. Besides, constant rebooting between os x and windows might cause the licensing to break... So, anyone tried before and can give me some rough guidelines as to what I can...

Hi, I'm thinking of buying a new iMac 24 inch. However, I'm wondering about how 3ds max will perform inside of parallels/fusion. Searches I made on the net tells me that I can only expect to be able to do "light modeling", but what I want to know is, how light is light? Anybody has any hard...
