Re: Does Poser's Registration Key Work For Mac AND PC?
-----------------------------------
Well, here is an interesting update... It seems as if the Poser Pro series WILL let you use a single key for either Mac or PC versions.

I've just installed Pro 2010 onto both of my Macs and onto my CGI tower to compare rendering speeds...

This image...

Renders as follows:

MacBook Pro 2.26 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo / 2 Gb 1067 Mhz DDR3 - 51 seconds

24" iMac 8 2.8 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo / 4 Gb 800 Mhz DDR2 - 30 seconds

"Willow" PC 2.66 CHz Intel Core 2 Quad / 4 Gb 800 Mhz DDR2 - 19.8 seconds

Each speed measurement was done after preloading all textures, with Firefly render settiings at maximum and with "re-use shadow maps" on, measured after 4 renders back to back on each machine.  To be absolutely certain each image was identical I ran them through Adobe Photoshop's difference filter afterwards, and they are identical.

I'll also install Pro 2010 onto my i7 gaming beast later on today just to see if that is any faster...

It is interesting to note that although both my Macs are 64-bit, and running Snow Leopard, Pro 2010 seems to be running 32-bit only on my Macs.  "Willow" is running Pro 2010 at 64-bit, which may go some way to explaining why it is so fast.

Oh, the Creech character comes with Pro 2010... nice looking fella, ain't he?
