Firstly, if this is in the wrong place, move it. Thanks.
Right, i got myself a MacBook Pro for my graphics course that i'm starting in September and i was wondering if i could get 3DS Max working on it.
I've tried Crossover Mac which is a wine type application and does support 3d applications, however the installer prematurely closes after installing dx9.0c (from the installer).
I haven't tried parallels desktop although even if it did install it wouldn't display any 3d images since it doesn't support 3d.
Does anyone here know of a way to get Max working on the unix kernel through a wine type application or emulator? I'd prefer it if Max 8+ worked and that i didn't have to reboot into windows through boot camp.

EEEK! A MAC *runs* Stay away! PC gamers ftw! ftw!!!
yes it can run, i'm not sure if theres a pluggin or what, but you can try parralels for mac's, you can install windows applications like games or windows only programs on a mac, even Direct x 9 and 10 work on it, I'd say it's stupid running windows on a mac cause then whats the point, but if you need to run it on a mac for a class, buy or try parralls (I cant spell) on your mac...you may need to install windows on it too, since parralells is basically a program where you install windows and can run windows after you boot up mac osx, or if you boot osx you can run windows files on your mac.....I think i died a little inside helping a mac user...i used to be a mac fan too...then PC games came out and never came out for macs so then i got a pc to play games...then noticed really everything thats on a mac, is on the PC too.....photoshop, firefox, media players...I just like windows for the quick and easy start button

Don't be afraid of the mac, i don't see what the big fuss is? I can play most of the games that i play (ren, apb, steam and source games) on the mac fine using Crossover.
As i said above Parallels Desktop for Mac doesn't support direct 3D nor any other type of 3D system.

I've had every one of those problems and ten times the number of different ones on this Windows based PC, so I remain unconvinced.
As a side note, the only reason that Macs can't run games is because Microsoft are too greedy and monopolistic.

uhhh no...its cuz the game developers know around 60millions something PC have windows...macs around 10mill...not sure

Tell me Mac haters, why do you dislike them so much? And don't say because you can't play games on them because they can, sometimes better than windows can.

This guy can probably explain it all very well.

That was funny. Also notice that you saw the old 500Mhz G4 tower and the 300Mhz iMac G3 bubble pieces of crap. That was a good 5-6 years ago and was most likely running OS 9.x. OS 10.x is alot more stable and uses its resources alot better too. I bet you can't say that about vista.
I got the mac just because it works, it just works. With windows, sure it's easier to upgrade but then you need to install drivers that are out of date and you get viruses on the minute and more problems of the like.
I've had this MacBook running non-stop for about a week now and from the first time when i started it up to today it's running as smoothly as a week ago. The only thing i dislike about the MacBook is physical stuff, like the hinge for the screen doesn't go as far back as you want it. It's made out of metal so when you put your hands on it it's hot to the touch. The trackpad is too big and the button sticks out too much. It's also too sensitive to "tap-clicking". Everything else i just love about it.
About 3-4 days ago i was having regrets about buying this but once you start using them they're just great.
PS. I don't like the smell of them when you open them. It leaves an after taste which isn't nice (i was physically ill after opening and setting up the schools G5 and two Apple Displays).
Anyway, back to the topic at hand.

You can set a setting somewhere to disable the track pad when a mouse is connected... if you don't like trackpads like me.
I'm the bawss.

"Ever notice how most Mac users are skinny? It's because of all the calories they burn because they can't shut the fuck up about how great their Macs are. What is it about Apple that makes its users unable to shut their mouths? Everywhere I go, there's another asshole with a Mac preaching about how much better Macs are than PCs. They regurgitate lines directly from Apple's marketing campaign, like "it just works.""

It doesn't "just work," the only reasons you don't get viruses is because the virus making geeks don't waste their time on it. They can reach a bigger chunk of the population with Windows alone. See? Not even the creators of viruses waste their time on Macs, haha.
Anyway, if you get viruses, stop watching porn and get a girl. I don't have ad-aware, I don't have an anti-virus program, I don't have a firewall and I've never had a virus. Only idiots get viruses (i.e. the people that switched from windows to mac because they got viruses).
If it was so great Windows wouldn't have raped Apple the way it did. It's all you lefty big corporation haters that ever say crap like that. Why hate on Bill Gates and Windows for being successful? They made the better product, deal with it. Use whatever you prefer but no need to hate on Microsoft because you're too stupid to get your computer to work after sitting on it every day for 3 years.

LOL!
I couldn't agree more with some of the things you said.
Mac's are for new people to computing, I don't mind the other guy on my msn list that has one, If they start bs'ing me about "It just works" I tell them to stfu because they couldn't use windows.
Once Mac has 40% of the computer stock market, Be sure you'll be seeing Norton for Mac. 
I too don't use a Anti-Virus and Firewall and haven't gotten infected, yet.
Presence is a curious thing, if you think you need to prove it... you probably never had it in the first place.
