EIAS 9.1 and Catalina

[maher]

I'm looking to replace my old MacBook Pro (mid 2014) for a new laptop like the new 16 inch MacBook Pro.

I supposed it will come with Catalina and cannot be downgraded to an older MacOS so I need to know if EIAS 9.1 and all my plug-ins will run fine on that OS or if I have to wait to the new version of EIAS.

Thanks,

Maher

Same here, but I doubt that.

By the way anyone who got CUDA running on a MacBook Pro Mid 2010 with NVIDIA GT 330m under High Sierra?

Ola my friends!

EIAS 9.1 will not run on OS Catalina, since the new OS is full 64 bits :(
EIAS v10 is already running on the new OS :)

I did a test this week with v10, loading a 3.58GB .obj model! v10 loaded and I tried also Modo, crashed.

Thanks

Hmmm… if I buy this 64 GB Ram monster during the black week how long do I have to wait for EIAS 10 to load tons of GB files in? :)

Hey Frank!
We still don't have a date of release, we hope to enter in the bug fixing only as soon as possible :)
But memory is always good to have :)
Thanks

Hi Tomas,

 

Since I buy this machine very soon. Could EIAS run in Parallels under An older MacOS as guest system?

Ola Frank!

Never tested, but I guess Yes, why not?

Thanks

Hi Tomas,

probably the dongle causes problems, but I will try.

Ola Frank!

OS Catalina for example need a new dongle driver (64 bits version).

Thanks

Ola Tomas,

Can we use a Catalina Mac as a rendering slave node with Renderama, Camera 9.1 and plug-ins already 64 bits and spool jobs done in EIAS 9.1 from an older Mac?

Ola Maher!
Nope, because the "main" EIAS 9.1 Camera still 32 bits and have a external 64 bits module.

EIAS v10 its only one app now, full 64.

Thanks
Tom
