Performance and Rendering Issues on Mac: Seeking Advice for Hardware Configuration
Recently, I wanted to render a montage of 5 football jerseys. The render wasn't good—grainy. I had to segment the renders and then assemble the images in Photoshop.
I'll have many similar montages to create, and I often experience slowness in Clo3D.
I'm using a Mac Mini M2 Pro, 16GB RAM, and an Apple Display 5k.
I just read that the 5k screen could slow down the software. I'll consider lowering the screen resolution for the next use.
This experience leads me to these questions:
- Would a computer configured for 3D provide much better results?
- Is the PC environment better suited for Clo3D?
Ideally, I'd prefer to stay in an Apple environment with a Mac Studio, but I wouldn't hesitate to switch to a PC if it improves performance and render time.
In the 3D world, apart from Clo (which I really like!), I'm now learning the Adobe Substance 3D suite.
Thank you for shedding light on this matter.

Hi subrenaud
For all the CLO3D Recommended Specs you can always look to this page HERE which is regularly updated with new information. Your RAM mentioned above is above the minimum, but below our recommended level. You also have not mentioned which OS you are currently using, but we always recommend updating to the latest.
A computer that is configured and designed for 3D will usually perform the best. Many CLO users purchase high end gaming PCs with plenty of RAM and the newest graphics cards. But also when it comes to PC over MAC it is users preference. If you feel most comfortable in one that is always ok, but I can say that if you look more and more into 3D a PC does tend to be more commonly seen than a Mac

Thank you! Your guidance is helpful. I think I will make the switch to a PC...
Best regards,
