Re: Great news about Toxik

OK, a couple of things here. Firstly, John Mont misread the press release which says "bicubic warping", not extended bicubics, which means no sub-divided warping grid at this time.

As for a Mac version, you need to understand that Toxik is highly optimised for the hardware it runs on. Autodesk and nVidia have worked very closely to squeeze the best performance possible from the software and hardware so you need to ask yourself how likely it is that Apple, who write their own graphics drivers, would be willing to do the same thing to ensure that the Mac experience was as good as Windoze or Linux. Sounds most unlikely to me and you'd have to think Autodesk know how damaging it can be for a product's reputation if it doesn't offer consistent performance over all platforms, as many of us can attest to.

I have played around with Toxik on Windoze in a MacPro and most things worked pretty well, as long as I didn't want to use OpenGL for real-time interaction in the 3D environment. It was a GeForce MacPro so maybe it would have been better with a QuadroFX but somehow I doubt it. I also used it on some 8-core HP workstations at the same place [in Mumbai] and it fairly screams.
