Hi,

I'm considering buying a 2019 Mac Pro to run Houdini. Can anyone tell me what type of current monitor will connect with the Mac Pro? Also, what CPU model (I think the need to support an instruction set SSE 4.2) and graphics card will be compatible? Is 16 core CPU and 96GB RAM enough for simulations?

Thanks Thomas,

Does this look correct?:

It seems to render correctly but it does not show in the viewport - is this normal, or should it also show in the viewport? I have v18.5 on a Mac with an inadequate GPU.

I have a reason for using the AO map. It is often used in game engines. In Maya, for example, you can directly feed it in to the material.
