The company’s cloud application hosting system then enables CPU and GPU draw commands to be virtualised on a cloud server and rendered inside a standard HTML5 webpage using the ORBX.js library. Otoy’s HTML5 client is powered by ORBX, a new “high-performance media codec built from scratch to decode 1080p video entirely in JavaScript”. Performance is slightly, but noticeably better, in the streamed version, with viewport previews resolving faster.Īccording to the news release, Otoy has also demonstrated the system in use to stream Valve’s Steam client and Photoshop CS6, although we haven’t been able to locate a video of the latter. The demo above shows a test scene running locally in 3ds Max 2014 on a $5,000 Alienware portable and being streamed from Otoy’s cloud service to the browser of an (unspecified, but presumably cheaper) MacBook Pro. Watch 3ds Max running faster on a Mac than a PC – kinda The system works on all HTML5 browsers, including Firefox, Chrome, Opera, Safari and IE10, including those running on tablets – and yep, on Macs and Linux machines. This lets me know that I was effective in helping you, and thank you for doing so.Cloud services specialist Otoy has unveiled ORBX.js: a JavaScript library that enables tools like 3ds Max and Photoshop to be virtualised in the cloud and streamed to any HTML5-enabled browser*.

Please hit the 'Accept as Solution' button if my post fully solves your issue or answers your question. There are plenty of users that do use it on the Mac however, and it seems to get the job done for lots of them. That being said I'll help in any way I can but if you do run into issues I cannot guarantee a satisfactory solution in many cases. That doesn't mean it won't work, but that it's not supported in any official capacity. There is always the option of running 3ds Max in OpenGL or legacy D3D if the graphics card doesn't work well with Nitrous and DX, but I do want to note that no/little testing was ever done on the Mac machines as 3ds Max is a Windows only software.

With Boot Camp, it may be a different story.

This is apparently a known issue on the Parallel forums. There have been some users who have had issues with Parallels using 3ds Max lately, and that mainly has to do with mouse buttons not registering properly.
