SOLVED: Best solution for macs?

IgnitionChemistry

Hi all, I recently bought a macbook and I like the ability of carrying it around the train and work while I wait to arrive at college, I can't do that with my giant HP laptop which is also a battery draining junkie.

I know a mac version of Quixel is in the works but I'd still like to know if any of you has found a work around to get Quixel on mac, I'd really like to be able to texture while I'm on my train travels and get productive while I wait. I'm still new to the mac universe and not sure what's the best way to go with this.
Some help would be appreciated.

If I were you I would either dual-boot Windows with Bootcamp, or get Allegorithmic's suite... Wine is a crapshoot and your tablet probably wouldn't work right, and any virtualization solution like Parallels is probably going to make you run out of RAM.

Is it possible to run it on a pen drive?

Probably not.

Hi!

The mac-version is in the works as you all know, sorry I can´t give any specific answer to when it will be released as we dont know ourselves yet

I would say a dual boot is the way to go, I´ve personally tried some virtual desktops but since the hardware is simulated 3do doesnt work. Maybe some of you have found a solution to this?

But for most stable performance i would say dual boot!

THe main problem is that my mac only has 250GB of space, how much space would you recommend for a win7 partition? Thanks in advance again

Just want to add, I got virtualization and it's working well. The mac is new so probably that's why there's no noticeable drops on RAM

Virtulaziation works with the Quixel suite as well?

I was able to get it working well with parallels
