On the article you published at 12 Nov 2021, you said that "We expect to officially support M1-based computers in early 2022."

Today, we nearly are at the end of early 2022...

Where's your statement ?

Hello ,

Thank you for posting in the community your question and we are actively working on supporting M1 computers and should be coming this year. I will look at updating the article accordingly as this date may have been adjusted. Thank you for your understanding.

Kind regards,

Hello I have a Apple M1 Ultra Studio Mac and would like to able to use the Path Tracer function. There has been a lot of requests for this to happen but is there still an issue with the compatibility of Apple and Twinmotion. I have many uses for the Path Tracer to enable elevation, sections and floor plans rather than the very basic view Mac users are presented with. I timescale to the resolution would be really helpful or it seems we have to shell out for another computer, which is not great when everything I run is on Mac.

Regards

Hello ,

Thank you for the follow-up message and I was only speaking of M1, at this time those computers seems to be running Twinmotion pretty well on those configurations but are not fully supported at this time.

However the Path Tracer for Mac is a different topic and you can take a look at the requirements information that mentions this topic: https://twinmotionhelp.epicgames.com/s/article/Path-Tracer-Requirements

If you want to take advantage of the Path Tracer getting a PC is the only potential solution at this time. There are many advantages to having a PC as a dedicated graphics station since Twinmotion uses a lot of hardware resources when rendering with Path Tracer making the machine not usable during that process.

Kind regards,

hello. I can't find specifications for Twinmotion 2023 and M1 Macs.

Any change Path tracer will be working for Mac users too?

HI Steven! I share your frustrations! The annoying thing is that they do not give any forecast or information about this! I'll never work on a PC, cause trust the thought gives me the itch, but I'll probably abandon twin motion for UnrealEngine for good.

Kind regards,

Marco
