Mac OSX Port? Nov. 21, 2003, 2:15 p.m.

I think it's the same story as most other 3D apps…if enough people ask for it SESI will most likely do it….
however…I think it would take a very great many people asking for it - the port wouldn't be simple and mac still has crappy OGL - which is super important for running Houdini …
personally I wouldn't want the developers at SESI spending any time on it - which would take time away from the currently supported platforms - but that's just me…

Maya is available on OS X, and renderman is on the way. Houdini seems like a natural progression. I know it ultimately comes down to a business decision, but I have a hard time believing that there is a bigger market for Solaris then there would be for OS X. I use houdini on linux at work, and would love to be able to play around with apprentice edition on my mac at home.
