As you've gathered, our application doesn't work with Macs (unfortunately) due to the fact that it's built on the Unreal3 engine - which itself is not Mac compatible. We've received a lot of queries about Mac compatibility, however until Unreal3 can offer a Mac friendly version I'm afraid we're stuck in PC land.

However, any Mac with Intel processors allows you to use Mac's Boot Camp to set up a PC partition on your machine allowing you to run Muvizu 3D - it works very well actually. You could also try a virtualised PC environment using software such as VMwareFusion or Parallels however, performance could suffer - particularly, running the app could be slower especially if you create complicated sets with manycharacters in a scene.

Hope this information helps.

Unfortunately most games developers ignore Mac because of their relatively low market share and high development cost - including Epic (the company that makes the Unreal 3 Engine that Muvizu is based upon). The only company that has really been pushing Mac development is Valve - who recently released their Steam application and most of their back catalogue for Macs, but even at that Steam has over 1,000 games available and only 60 or so can be used on a Mac.

Epic announced that Unreal 3 would be released for Mac and Linux in 2008 - but that has obviously been delayed.

I agree it would be great if we could release Muvizu for all platforms but until the Unreal 3 engine can be used on all platforms we are stuck on PC.

Take care,
-Jim.
