SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS

The system requirements below are suggestions. 3D software is naturally graphics intensive, the better the hardware your budget allows, the better the program will run.

Fusion or Parallels minimum system requirements
Minimum requirements for the virtual machine (i.e. Windows) will be exactly the same as the Boot Camp Option requirements above.
Note: of the Virtual Machine options. Fusion is recommended by Cadsoft as it provides better rendering performance. However, both options will experience a performance decrease compared to Boot Camp.
