Richard, I think I will download & install ML on one of my older computers and will definitely test Carrara on it. Hopefully this happens over the weekend. I will let you know. Is anyone faster ?

Thanks pal! But arent you worried about not being able to DOWNGRADE this machine you are talking about

8.5.0.149 runs on 10.8 Mountain Lion.
Yep just installed Mountain Lion and fired Carrara with baited breath.
IT WOKS OK.

YOu might want to take the long scenic route/drive before with Carrara you say it runs on 10.8!  PLEASE do some work with it then tell us what happens!

After reading the info for Mountain Lion, it looks like Apple is dropping support for 32bit processes in this round.

The things I would test would be the 32bit version of Carrara, and also rendering to a Quicktime which opens a 32bit quicktime-thing (I think this still happens?) or any other 32bit processes you can think of…

I just did that. I am on Mountain Lion right now, and everything I tried with Carrara worked just fine. App starts, file open, rendering works, no problems whatsoever. Need to try some of my high poly files to see if the problems with saving and overall stability persists, but I am afraid this has nothing to do with underlying OS but we need to keep our fingers crossed that DAZ will eventually squash some long persistent bugs.

I would like to know if you get an ERROR and crash if you click in the timeline! That may take a few minutes but IF I open C8 in power MAC 10.5.8 and have to click, s;elect , move things around in the timeline within a few minutes I will get and error/crash! Which means if I dont want to loose any of my work I have to save every few moves and that means a multi-minute save

I am currently running it in Mountain Lion

I’ve been using the new beta (172) in both Lion and Mountain Lion. Performance seems to be the same in both operating systems. I’ve opened, rendered and saved a large file with two M4 characters and a lot of buildings. Everything was good. Adding poses works well. I tried some simple bullet physics and they work too. I haven’t tried animating or changing shaders yet. I only had one crash so far. (That’s much better than the previous build.) When I added a pose to Genesis in Mountain Lion. I tried it again and it crashed again. After rebooting I was able to get it to work. It didn’t crash in Lion.

I did notice one strange behavior with the new beta. The spot render doesn’t work anymore. It just gives me a white square. I got the same behavior on both operating systems on two different computers (27” iMac and a 13” MacBook Pro). Has anyone else seen this? It works the same whether OpenGL rendering is active or software rendering. Should I report this in the Bug Report.

Confirmed. I have a totally white spot render.

DO NOT DOWNLOAD BETA 172

Random crashing and frequently in mtn lion save often!  No white square test render working in Mtn Lion and build 172 64 bit i5.
