MacMini M4
Hello all.

I've been running SH3D on my M1 MacBookPro for the last three years and am now considering an M4 MacMini basic (10 core/16GB). Is anyone using this configuration and if so how are you finding the render times? (I bring in multiples of my own .obj so the models get quite busy out of necessity)

Many thanks for any input

Re: MacMini M4
Rendering in Sweet Home 3D is done with either Sunflow or Yafaray. Both use the CPU for rendering, not the GPU. What determines the speed is the number of cores and the clock speed of the processor. More cores: faster rendering; higher CPU speed: faster rendering. Compare your two systems and the numbers should tell you which one is faster.

Re: MacMini M4
Hi. Thank you for your reply and I do appreciate the rendering method. I was just looking for any 'boots on the ground' experience with that particular model.
