Cabraswel2 Posted July 11, 2017 Share Posted July 11, 2017 Hello, I have a question or two for anyone running H16 on the newer MacBooks. 1. Does OpenCL work with simulations properly. 2. What version OS and H16 are you using. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jkunz07 Posted July 11, 2017 Share Posted July 11, 2017 It works ok, there is only one MBP model that has dedicated GPU though. You would have to get the most expensive 15" I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cabraswel2 Posted July 12, 2017 Author Share Posted July 12, 2017 H14-15 have been a wonderful dream. H16 however, Disaster! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jkunz07 Posted July 12, 2017 Share Posted July 12, 2017 Yes, I tried the first production build of H16 but couldn't get OpenCL to work. I haven't tried newer builds of 16, but maybe it works better now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cabraswel2 Posted July 12, 2017 Author Share Posted July 12, 2017 Have you tried Bootcamp with this GPU? Is it OSX or Windows. I could deal with a Bootcamp version of Houdini, I just really hate laptops and the only one that I actually enjoy happens to be a Mac.

simonsimon Posted August 2, 2017 Share Posted August 2, 2017 I recently bought the latest MacBook Pro and I am had a ton of issues with H16 QT5. QT4 is better but I still have rendering problems. Mantra generates the scene for at least 22 seconds every time I render. Very annoying. So not a very pleasant experience with H16 and MBP 17. Would not recommend it at the moment.
