Also, I knew that they would replace mine if I got a faulty one and reported it immediately. I’m still researching the topic.Īs for the display, I knew that Apple had just supposedly resolved the majority of those issues at the time I purchased it. I suspect that there is still room for improvement regarding how Blender is written to handle multi-core. I could be wrong though about the interface… still trying to figure that one out. Here’s where it gets tricky: When it comes to multi-core processors, the performance also depends on whether the application you’re using is written to utilize multiple cores, AND whether the particular task the app is executing uses multiple cores.įrom what I can tell, Blender has multi-core support for rendering, but not for the 3D interface. If I was going to drop the dough I wanted the best. The cost/processing power ratio is wasn’t much concerned about the difference between the i5 and i7.

The Mac Pro might be an appropriate solution for businesses on a larger budget, but for individuals I recommend the i7 iMac.

Although there are rumors of an update coming soon to the Mac Pro, it’s still not going to be a very cost effective solution. The only other option you might consider is the Mac Pro tower with a separate display, but at that point you’re looking at spending at least $2,500 on just the computer and if you get Apple’s 24-inch external display you’re looking at another $900. If you need a really good computer for Blender work (or any 3D work) the Quad-Core i7 iMac will give you the most bang for your buck. Larger is generally better for productivity anyway. But I will adapt - I used to use a 30-inch Cinema Display at work and I adapted. Had there been an option to get an i7 with a 21.5' I probably would have chosen that. Sometimes I feel like I’m lost in the screen.

Blender was crashing left and right and it was a major setback (I almost stopped using Blender entirely for two years!) I’ll probably still use the MacBook for making music, but I’m happy to be free of it for 3D work.Ĭoming from a 13-inch, the massive 27-inch display is going to take some getting used to. I am upgrading from a 13' Black MacBook which is a good machine except the Intel GMA X3100 is a terrible graphics chipset for Open GL (or any 3D-related processing). I haven’t had a chance to test it on games yet, but I will be installing Doom 3 soon. The i7 iMac’s ATI Radeon HD 4850 graphics card handles 3D really well. Tracking Speed adds the ability to increase the maximum mouse speed by an extra 200%.Īlso featured is a real-time display of the fingers touching the surface of the mouse that you can enable to test and monitor the way the mouse sees your input.Are you happy with the rest of the iMac’s am happy with all of the iMac’s performance! It makes a night and day difference to have a fast machine when doing 3D work. Touch Sensitivity implements a single point control for a number of factors impacting the algorithms of the taps, swipes, pinch and other gestures. It features the ability to bind a variable number of finger clicks, taps, swipes, pinch and other gestures to functions like Middle Click, Hold Down Both Mouse Buttons, Spaces, Expose, Dashboard, Recent Applications, Tweet, Read Tweets, Google Reader etc. MagicPrefs is a free application for OS X which aims to improve the functionality and configuration options of the Apple Magic Mouse, Magic Trackpad and the MacBook glass trackpad. TLDR if it doesn't work anymore thats it, if it still works then its just a matter of time until it won't. Apple is not likely to replace the deprecated Api's nor provide access to the underlying multitouch technology so that's the end of the line for MagicPrefs and similar software. MagicPrefs is more than 5 years old now and is no longer mantained, the functionality it provided was made possible by Api's that are now deprecated and reverse engineered private Apple frameworks.
