Any chance of a Mac version?

Can the Hash crew help out?

This plug-in seems to be pretty great. I would totally buy a licence.

A:M Paint isn't made by Hash, so they can only help out with advice.

From what I've heard, a Mac port would be a lot of work because the open-source libraries used to build the application are not cross-platform.

Not relevant....see below

Hi,




The (open source) library used to build the user interface is cross-platform (Windows, Linux, Unix...), but until recently it did not yet work on the latest incarnation of Macintosh. This appears to be taken care of now and others have already used it successfully on OS X in combination with OpenGL. As this was the main hurdle in making a Mac port, I've ordered an iMac last week so I can start working on the Mac version in a few days.

Best regards,
Filip

Great googley moogley!

That's great news, Filip!

Thanks,
Jim

Yea!



Can't wait!

Woo-hoo!

Woo! 3D Painter for Mac is coming! Spread the news!

As good news as that may seem (and it is), it just means we'll never have the chance at beating Jim in the image contests!

Fantastic! Can't wait to get my hands on this program. Been watching the windows folks with envy as they show what they can do with it. Thanks Filip!

Hmmm. just wondering..
I already have 3DPainter for my PC Laptop.
Will I have to re-purchase another version for my Mac too?

Hi Gerald,

You won't have to re-purchase 3DPainter but I will have to create a new (free) license key for you.

Best regards,
Filip

Fantastic! - thanks

Hot damn. HOT DAMN!

Yeah! That's pretty cool Filip

This is AWESOME NEWS!!!! I use PC mostly but I love working on my mac more so. I was waiting for this news Filip. THANKS!

Hi Filip

Any News on the mac front?

Thanks

Hi Dennis,

No news yet, but I'm working on the Mac version right now. I hope to have an alpha version in a number of weeks.

Best regards,
Filip

Don't forget to check all of Apple's warnings about byte order for the two platforms. I felt lucky that my one big Mac app worked as a Universal without any changes when I built for Intel.

I haven't yet tried compiling it in Universal mode, but I will look out for these things. There are a few places in the application where byte order will matter.

Anyway, here's a first screenshot of the Mac version. There's still a lot of work to be done, but it starts taking shape...

That looks great Filip.
I'm really looking forward to this.

I Agree, Looking good there.
Waiting patiently here.

Any news/updates on the mac version?

The Mac version is still progressing well. The last few weeks I've been preparing a new Windows update for 3DPainter (mainly for Vista compatibility), but all these efforts will equally benefit the Mac version. The application itself already runs on Mac, but I still have to port the .hxt plug-in that links A:M to 3DPainter.

Filip

Glad to hear this is in development. It's something I'm definitely looking forward to!

Any kind of non-binding ballpark guess on when?

Difficult to say. It progresses well, but you never know what roadblocks you might hit. Anyway... it's top priority now!

Filip

Thanks for the updates and for all your hard work in getting a Mac OS X version out! Appreciate it greatly!

Any word on the Mac version yet?

**bump**

How's the Mac version coming along?
