Can you please give us an update if Path Tracing for macs is being worked on? What is preventing this from happening? Is it a driver issue? Mac Hardware and PC Hardware are not that different? What's the hold up?

Hi ,

There are current technical limitations preventing Path Tracer from being included on Mac. Software is one such limitation, as Unreal Engine's Path Tracer, which is what Twinmotion utilizes, relies on DirectX Raytracing (DXR) in order for Path Tracer to function, and this is something not available on MacOS, as Mac uses the Metal API, which functions differently and doesn't offer a similar hardware accelerated raytracing solution.

Best,

Raghib
