Excellent review and very helpful. Especially the 3-D part. I realize you aren’t a 3-D animator, but your information was still helpful.

Please provide specs of your Mac Studio? Also, is it small enough to fit in a backpack for mobility? Thanks!

Bought some M2 Max's with 92Gb of RAM a month ago and theyre great, but its still not enough for our After Effects/C4D workflow. Just ordered two more M2 Ultras instead with 128Gb. I'll have a go at the Blender render test and find out how well they pit against each other!

Any update on the difference? Is it worth spending 2x the money on it? Looking for a system that runs AE seamlessly

[@vandit6354]

@@karstenclaes9527 More than twice as fast at rendering the same Blender scene. For our GFX workflow at a busy VFX facility, yep it’s a no brainier.

“Staggering 192 Gb memory.” Maybe in the Apple RDF. That’s 1/8 the maximum memory of the 1.5 Tb, 4 year old, 2019 Mac Pro. Pitiful.

que tal como te fue con la actualización para AE. Vale la pena?

[@chidorirasenganz]

@@BubbaSatorithat’s much slower memory and isn’t vram

I have an M2 Ultra Mac Pro. Cuts through everything like butter. Animation and renders are quicker than anything I have used. Even more noticeable than when I used the original Mac Pro.

You should have built a PC for $2k. a 3080 would curb stomp the m2 ultra mac pro and it's $4,000 price tag.

I think that 35mm headphone socket is actually just a conventionally proportioned 3.5mm!

So I’m wondering I did rite I got a m2 pro Mac mini instead of a 2021 iMac because they said it’s better for me to produce music and make videos on KZbin is it ? & what else could I of got a studio m2 pro or ?
