Chief Issues with Mac and Parallel Rendering

[starbuck]

I think Chief demands too much from the hardware to run it through Parallels on a mac. Running it through Bootcamp works fine for me.

I'm not sure what types of issues you are having with rendering. I have been using parallels with chief for many years without any problems. Rendering works beautifully. It's a bit slower than bootcamp but I haven't noticed any technical glitches at all. I have used macbook airs (HD graphics), macbook pros (dedicated graphics), imacs and mac pros.

Check how much video ram, and the number of processors that you are dedicating to the virtual machine. If it's too low, this may be the problem.

Good luck.
