In this video i'm going to show you how to install 3ds Max on Mac OS with Parallels Desktop 15. First I'm going to download and install 3ds Max 2020 on macOS Catalina, after that i'm going to use it with primitives and I'll check a render.

can we reach the max performance of mac while using 3dsmax? Because ı have both windows pc and m2 MacBook but my windows pc cannot run my files.. btw thank you for clear explaining

[@yaasararu]

Hai it is possible to install 3d max on mac m2 pro? 2023

[@zainabhassan1210]

I have the same question

[@hamzapattambi7048]

1- if we install windows on mac, we will get any issue for our mac os..?? 2- if we install windows, we can possible to use all the windows software here.?

[@ArhiTeachCGSchool]

1. No issues ofc. It's just a software 2. Yes, that's why we use this method

[@jashanjotsidhu]

Wow. Thanks a lot. It is amazing.. I m sure gonna try it. :)

Most welcome 😊

im getting an error sayin "the product download consists of multiple files. At least one file is missingor has not been downloaded yet" when i click on the autdesk download manager in parallels

Try to download it outside Parallels

[@SaraH-cp8qd]

this is very useful thank you .. what about more complicated or bigger projects ? :'( I had to change my mac pro to msi in order to use 3ds max and revit ! and now I saw this tutorial D':

Hi, I have a MacBook Pro 16 "M1 Max (10 CPU cores) / 32GB / 1TB SSD / GPU M1 Max, I wonder if 3ds max will work?

[@ArhiTeachCGSchool]

Hello. Try to use virtualization

[@user-rq1sp7gr9f]

Hello, I have 2019 macbook pro 16’, Is there any bad affects or harm to my macbook if i download windows just so to run 3dmax and vray? Also, is it usable enough to get good renders? I would appreciate it a lot if you can answer soon. Thanks 😊

[@ArhiTeachCGSchool]

Hello. There isn't "bad affects", it's just software )

[@georgekamal4180]

does it work good with you?

Can u say ,do MacBooks runs revit softly after a bootcamp

[@dominicwyatt1022]

Does this also work with other render engines such as Vray Next ..... I study 3D design and I want to buy a MacBook but most our Programms only run on windows 😅🤷🏻‍♂️

[@ArhiTeachCGSchool]

Every Window's app runs in VM, but much slower than natively in Windows, especially those "heavy" ones as 3D editors...

[@dominicwyatt1022]

Okay, thank you so much 🙏🏻 this was very helpful 🙂

[@sharifali1129]

Im considering to use 3dsmax on my imac quite lazy to switch to my windows laptop. Just how was is the performance? Is it bugggy or is it full performance just like we use it on windows? Is it possible to use vray as renderer?

[@ArhiTeachCGSchool]

For something simple it is ok, don't think it's good idea to use it on a dayily basis (

[@zainabhassan1210]

Buying a MacBook is good for 3d modelling ?

[@ArhiTeachCGSchool]

No

[@lulwah8391]

Will it work if the parallel program and windows 10 is stored in external hard drive?

[@ArhiTeachCGSchool]

It depends on external drive, the best choice - to use SSD with at leash USB 3.0 interface (imho)

[@24hrsSimRace]

To install window in mac, may I know I need to install both bootcap and parralles? Do you have the tutorial for install windows on mac as well?

[@ArhiTeachCGSchool]

Yes, you can install it both, but parallels less efficient than bootcamp

[@michelefanelli6802]

Hi! can it be good to have bootcamp partition? Or with Parallels not needed?

Bootcamp is better for performance, Parallels is easier to install

[@penseekhalid5835]

I wanted to use windows to run 3ds max on it .. so I will not be able to use after the trial period ? should I use bootcamp instead????

[@ArhiTeachCGSchool]

Trial period doesn't depend on applications

I am following the steps to download it .. I wanted to ask is it a trial! I mean after a couple of weeks for example I will not be able to us the windows version via parallel ??
