As a matter of fact we're all using Macs; some of us just don't know :-)
When the only tool you use is a hammer, every problem begins to look like a nail.

Forum_snowboarder33: windows '98 is hated by most windows fans aswell, but things have moved on. Windows XP is incredibly solid, fast and cheap. nothing like '98.

How much different do you guys think working in Maya on the Mac or PC is? I'm willing to bet, barring Unlimited of course, that there really isn't much of a difference at all. Click a button here, and click a button there, it's all the same.
Just my general insight into all this speed boosts and what not. Most of it talks about rendering, and I just thought about how much time I do spend rendering.

Personally, my PC's rock over our brand new mac towers when it comes to litterally everything.
Rendering, calculation, viewport speed, filters at VERY high resolutions etc... (hehe.. WAY more than just blending in my case)
HOWEVER, I just BET if I were to take my BEST PC OR MAC to ILM, or any big pro house, THIER pc's/macs would STILL probably SMOKE mine
I think it's the techs that make the world go round these 3d days

I tried to take my wife into our local Mac store in town to show her why I love the Macs so much and she more or less just thumbed her nose up at everything. LOL! Just as Mr. WChamlet said, there isn't much difference except rendering speeds and I mean, who sits there and watches their work render?
That's a job for overnight and for sleeping while it's going on. I recently started working on my first movie again, which I've been working on in Maya on the PC since last September - the movie itself, from the original story idea to sketches to storyboards was started way back in September of 2000. This has been one of the hardest things I've ever done. It's fun and challenging but boy it's mind numbing. I chose to set my movie in a scene I'm working on based on the room in a book called The Maya 4.5 Handbook. I'm altering it a bit to meet the requirements of my story. It's looking good but I have a long way to go. Whether I finish it on a Mac or PC, I just want to finish it. I have no clue how to animate, I spent forever working on lighting my last attempt at building a room and I never could get it to look right (I used GI Joe and RealFakeGI and it came awfully close).I recently found out that there are places here in Sioux Falls that buy baseball cards but although my cards date back to the early 1970s, I doubt they're worth enough to get either a Mac or a PC. The day I figure this all out, I'll let you all know. Until then... thanks for your time and help!

I moved up here from Marietta, GA two years ago and still haven't adjusted to the "change" yet but I'm learning. We'll have to hook up sometime, Rage, and talk "Maya Shop". Maybe you can give me a few pointers as well. LOL!BTW, back to the topic, semi off topic... I'm still working on my movie and I'm starting to texture my scene and as soon as I get to the point of rendering out a few shots, I'll post them for all of the world (especially you great guys!) to see. I'll keep you posted!

But my point is how about trying to move a smothed model around to check your work. Not so fun at 8 frams a sec. Or how many seconds for some of the comands you need to do just to do normal modeling tasks. They don't sound like a lot but if you have to use them more than 3 or 4 times. Well thoughs seconds tern in to minutes FAST.
I model in low unsmothed polys just for the speed resons. But I have to use imajination to predict the results, and I'm still wrong part of the time.
So if I got the speed and power to work with a proxy or CPS smothed model while I tweek AND not have to hold my next thought of what to do while waiting that cuple of seconds just to translate one vertix. Thin that would be better and more enjoyable and productive modeling.
Just my 2 cents, Its more than render times.
BTW you want to be interactive with your dynamic's ,, good luck after 10 or 20 objects are in that mode.
