  • Hey all, just changed over the backend after 15 years I figured time to give it a bit of an update, its probably gonna be a bit weird for most of you and i am sure there is a few bugs to work out but it should kinda work the same as before... hopefully :)

No new Mac Pros on WWDC :(

They call it a new Mac pro, wtf, it's not new. what liars. The new macbok pro Rectum seems like a huge step though, two thunderbolts and two USB 3 ports + HDMI that is really awesome for a pro.
 
"switchng to PC" ???!

Yes...... and buy again all apps.... no, impossible !!
 
I think that once there's MacBook Pros with 8 and 12 cores, and plenty of thunderbolt accessories (graphics expansions, red-rockets, etc.), the Mac Pro won't be missed as much, since most of it's functionality will eventually be replaced by notebooks and imacs
 
iMac are great, but they can't handle 3 days of render without.......... :emote_head_explode:
 
Yes, the MacPro got a minor upgrade. Still a great system, but a 2 year old CPU architecture and no USB3/Thunderbolt and no new graphics card offerings. It will be interesting to see what happens with this line, but for now it's still a very workable system. And honestly, the price is quite reasonable on the 12-core model!

For those of you griping about no NVIDIA graphics and expensive RAM options... remember you can put those in yourself. RAM from http://www.macsales.com (OWC) is reasonably priced and obviously an easy install.
 
Well, not really reasonable for a model without USB3 and thunderbolt and this video card...
if the price was 4000$ for that, yes, I'll buy one just to stay on OSX,
but for the same price, you have a buggy hackintosh with 16 core, bluray and more fonctionnality....
so..... cruel dilemma !!

One word. Hakintosh.

I'm both excited and also bitterly disappointed in Apple today.

I LOVE the retina display MBP and agree it could be the best Mac ever designed. However, in terms of performance it cannot remotely compete with the likes of HP's latest Xeon offerings so for now I'm left in a quandary!

I need to replace two ageing Mac Pros now and I see no alternative than to switch back to PC. Apple could have had my money but instead it looks likely to go to HP instead!

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrr:banghead:

The feature I'm working on right now is using only 3 applications for post other than vfx, which are redcinex pro, avid, and resolve. The only one I'd have to pay for on pc is avid I think. And I'm about to get the Adobe suite, maybe its time to think about building a pc.

Paul.... you're a high end user, no ?
Dual boot.... you know it's not a solution....
and, it's mean use an hackintosh and risk of huge bugs.

There in lies my dilemma :O( Hell will freeze over before Autodesk sells a PC version of Smoke! The Linux version is a big chunk of change ;o)
