I pointed out way back when it was first announced that I was glad we'd be able to have the Windows users go figure things out for us. That's why it's called "the bleeding edge" Macs are more uniform in configuration so I'd expect the beta testing to be easier and more trustworthy. I still expect bugs but by the time our version comes out the "user error" bugs should have worked themselves out. The speed issues etc. will also be a completely different beast. If the Mac version is optimized for the Altivec engine in the G4s it may have far superior performance than on PCs. I think Don looks better than Dork. Judy looks like a person, not a Barbie doll. However, I'll still use Posettes' Barbie doll figure (she looks better with the subdivision thing) so she's not going to be thrown away anytime soon by me. My hope is that Don, Judy and the gang have better abilities to simulate real normal people. I haven't seen anyone render a 20 overweight Judy or Don yet. I haven't seen anyone render Don as a short, stocky beerdrinker or as an old man. The Firefly renderer may require finesse but the key to good renderings is in the lighting. I've seen the stuff at RDNA. I'm convinced it's capable. I'm convinced people will figure it out. I'm convinced I'll go through their tutorials. I don't mind not being the first. The world won't end. My wife and family won't leave me. And I can learn from the mistakes of others. On my beloved Mac!
Before they made me they broke the mold!
