TGEA (and Torque 3D) Mac Requirements

by Rassling Cats Software · in General Discussion · 03/25/2009 (5:40 am) · 2 replies

I have one of the unibody Macbooks. I see that the requirements for TGEA are 256 MB of video memory on an ATI or NVidia card. I'm looking to develop iPhone games to publish using iTGE. If my computer doesn't meet the video RAM requirement, will I be able to launch TGEA and use a reduced graphics feature set, or will it not start at all?

If it won't run, I'll probably look to upgrade, so are the requirements for Torque 3D on Mac OS similar to TGEA? If I get a MacBook Pro with 256MB video memory, will I be safe for the future or kicking myself for not upgrading further?

I think a new MBP should be fine for everything, but my unibody Macbook with its 9400M is surprisingly good still. The Forge demo seems OK with it, too. I don't think you will need to upgrade, and ANY Mac will do for iPhone development. TGE even runs on the previous series of Mac mini.

After reading your reply, I did some more digging and realized I was looking at the wrong software. For iPhone development, I should just worry about TGE for now, not TGEA or Torque 3D, and TGE will definitely run on my Macbook. That made the decision a lot easier. :)

Thanks!
