I know it's been talked about before, but I'd like to see some native Mac support now more then ever.
Especially with these new eight core Mac Pro workstations. Imagine the render time on one of those! A clean looking outdoor scene in two hours?

Ono get cygwin and make indigo with it on a windows machine. Then when you get that to build just get an old cheap mac to make releases.

Ah yes of course
Got confused with another emulator. There is one though that does support MacOS but I just don't remember where its at.... but not VMWare, it's another emulator... If I remember or find it I'll post it somewhere

Psst
With the same exact hardware:
In order of best performance for rendering:
1)Linux
2)Windows
3)OSX
If you want octo-core loving, you don't have to pay the extra to buy a mac version - it's the same thing.

Interesting (though the top placed is predictable). Which renderer?

I haven't checked OSX *personally* with indigo but indigo is faster in linux (yes, even with WINE in there) than windows.
Blender is noted to follow the same results - it's slowest on OSX out of the three. (Going by user reports, usually they're comparing optimized builds)
Eventually i'll pick up a mac mini (see, the ONLY mac that's worth it - you can't get the same thing on the pc side) and i'll test it out myself

southboy what does that have to do with anything? Thats a pretty subjective matter and has nothing to do with the topic
