Switching to macOS for 3D: what if the real luxury is just a computer that stays out of your way?
Every day, I feel a little more tempted to leave Windows for macOS, even though I’m a 3D artist.
For the past 3 years, I’ve been using all three OS daily: Mac for office work, Linux at the studio, and Windows for heavier 3D tasks and gaming.
But the more time passes, the more Windows feels like a machine I have to maintain instead of a tool that lets me create: drivers to manage, random bugs, file formats that aren’t handled natively, extra tools to install for basic things, unstable Bluetooth, audio settings to redo…
None of this is impossible to deal with when you’re a technical person, but over time it just becomes exhausting.
At this point, I just want to turn on my computer and work, or play, without spending 30 minutes fixing something first.
Am I just getting lazy, or are there other 3D artists here thinking the same thing?
Has anyone here actually moved from Windows to Mac as a 3D artist? How has it been for you? 👀
