There are trade-offs that will be necessary for all users of DAZ products. The DAZ team has quite the undertaking on their hands to move DAZ Studio to their next generation development environment which will allow an Apple Silicon/Big Sur version. We'll see, as it's next on my list of things to do with the MacBook Air. Might need to look at an alternative that is compatible or try using the current version of Elements running under Rosetta 2. Still trying to decide about Photoshop Elements. I have updated some of my older graphics and video apps with Apple Silicon compatible versions and they work great on the M1 MacBook Air. I have also purchased an M1 MacBook Air and will be delighted to use the upcoming DAZ Studio version that will run on it later this year. An Nvidia GPU would be much, much faster than either of my Macs, but I'm still impressed by the big (for me) decrease in render times when using the MacBook Pro. That's the difference between an older 2-core i5 and a newer 8-core i9 processor. The MacBook Pro is about 7 to 10 times faster rendering Iray scenes than the Mac mini. I've been using Iray exclusively for almost a year on my 2015 Mac mini and now a 2020 MacBook Pro 16" that's running macOS Catalina. If you can delay your M1 Mac mini purchase by a few more months, then we should see a version of DAZ Studio that is compatible with Big Sur and the Apple Silicon Macs.Īs Richard mentioned, Iray rendering doesn't need an Nvidia GPU.
