The Mac installer version works perfectly fine on Apple Silicon through Rosetta 2 (I’m running on an M1 myself, and I highly recommend one of these machines, in general).Same question for a new Mac using an M1 or M2 ("Apple silicon") processor. I don't have one of these, but after seeing how screamingly fast my wife's new M2 MacBook Air is, I may move replacing this 15 inch MacBook Pro up a bit in priority....
I will admit, however, that I haven't even started playing with OR 22.02 at all yet, so this question certainly doesn't need an answer in the near term. However, I did just download the Mac .dmg file for beta 5 and will play with it some in the next couple of days.
Thanks to all for huge amounts of work on this!!!
Once we replace the existing 3D library with something newer, we’ll b able to distribute an ARM native version that will be much snappier. But that won’t be for this release.
