I tried downloading the trial version of I Clone on my Apple Silicon M4 Mac mini, but I only got an .exe file, not a Mac .dmg file. Why doesn’t the I Clone software have MacOS Apple Silicon support?
Hi…
iClone and Character Creator are for Windows only. There is no native support for Macs. iClone also doesn’t support virtual machine software like Parallels.
Realistically if you want to run iClone you will need a Windows system with a dedicated graphics card from Nvidia or AMD.
Sorry I can’t bring you better news.
i beg you in the name of GOD why don’t y’all give us soft cloth physics for NVidia omniverse u leave us stranded after promoting the software we don’t get full functionality y’all even created new plugins for other new software and abandoned omniverse? please try and give your users equal satisfaction
Omniverse hasn’t been abandoned and in fact new updates to the Omniverse Pipeline were unveiled in December 2024 and you now have an Omniverse Live Link available like the one available for Unreal.
Of course there is always more to be done so make sure you put all your requested features in the Feedback Tracker so they can be considered for future updates. Thanks.
Yes, indeed. I have recently reinstated my access to Omniverse after latest update and the fact that I have more VRAM to handle it at the acceptable level (there is a lot to learn though).
There is already an FT ticket for that, but in my understanding not much RL can do at this point as Omniverse does not directly support Soft Cloth Physics.
You may however import Alembic files into Omniverse for soft interactions (there is a little hassle with materials for objects created with alembic import, but all doable).
hello people have requested that for a long-time multiple tickets y’all have soft cloth for other newer pipelines except omniverse that’s weird
Any near future plans to offer apple silicone version. Buying a new machine and would like to go with apple silicone if there is any hope of M series compatibility in the next year. Apple M4 on my ipad is rocking it with Zbrush for ipad by the way! Love the M series efficiency running Zbrush!!!
Unfortunately there are no plans for a native Mac version of iClone or Character Creator. If you wish to run iClone8 or CC4, then you will need a Windows PC with a dedicated graphic card from Nvidia or AMD.
Ok, good to know. One AMD thread ripper it is…
Mac user running CTA 5.3 on an old intel 27" iMac with Boot Camp. Unfortunately only Windows 10 is supported. Video editing is done on a Mac mini 2 Pro. Want to step up to iClone etc. Which pre-build mini PC is capable of running all Reallusion software?
Hi Kotik
To be clear there is no official support for use with Macs, but as you have found older Intel based Macs can be used with Bootcamp to run Reallusion software (to some degree at least).
To run iClone would require a Mac with a dedicated graphics card from Nvidia or AMD. Something like an Nvidia GTX 1070 or 1080 or the later RTX models may work fine. Of course there are no guarantees how well iClone will perform, so it may be wise to consider a Windows PC for the long term.
