Maxon Computer has announced its support of the new Intel-based Apple Macintosh Generation.
Maxon cto Harald Schneider stated, "Apple's announcement is good news for a cross-platform developer like Maxon. Since our products' source code is over 95% platform-independent, it can be ported very quickly. In addition, Intel has always proven to be a very flexible and dedicated partner."
Maxon's development team has been making sure it is in a position to react to advances or changes in technology very quickly. Cinema 4D has been leading a "secret double life" as an Xcode version for a while. To that end, the first internal Universal Binaries for Intel- and PowerPC-based Apple machines are already compiled in our labs.
Applications such as Cinema 4D and BodyPaint 3D demand a processor's full range of performance. So Maxon's professional 3D applications will definitely benefit from the additional CPU power. The combination of Mac OS X's convenient and well thought-out operating system, Apple's reliable benchmark hardware and Intel's processor know-how is the perfect match to give 3D professionals unrivalled freedom of creativity.
Maxon has consistently demonstrated its lead when it comes to the implementation of state-of-the-art technologies such as multiprocessing, Hyper-Threading, Dual-Core technology and more. Most recently, Maxon was the first to release its professional 3D modeling, animation and painting solutions for Windows 64-Bit.
MAXON Computer (www.maxon.de) is the developer of professional 3D modeling, painting, animation and rendering solutions. Its award-winning products have been used extensively in the film, television, science, architecture, engineering and other industries.
