Beer glass scene creation

This course contains a little bit of everything with modeling, UVing, texturing and dynamics in Maya, as well as compositing multilayered EXR's in Photoshop.

Hi all

I think I may be in a minor emergency. I just ordered 8.5 so I can run it naitivly in OSX on my macbook pro and just stumbled across a review that said it's not qualified for intel based mac laptops?!?! What does this mean? Does this mean it won't run at all and i've just wasted my money?

Any advice would be fantastic

All the best

I wouldn't worry about it. "Not qualified" just means Autodesk hasn't tested it on that particular setup and won't offer tech support. Things usually work just fine.

Pheeeeeeew! Thank you that's put my mind at ease a bit. Guess it should run as well as it does under bootcamp using xp.

Cheers

Well Windows XP runs just as it would on a PC but the only really annoying problems are these:

Lack of print screen on a mac laptop (no F14)
No right click without a mouse
No insert key

Oh and it froze whilst using itunes and maya at the same time :-s

If anyone knows a way around this please let me know actually!
