NOTE
  • (*) UE5-Lumen / Path-Tracing technology is currently available on Windows 10 or later and compatible with Nvidia RTX and AMD series 6000 graphics cards.

  • Minimum requirements for the recommended Path Tracing-capable graphics card:
    • At least 6 GB of VRAM
    • At least 10000 PassMark points

    • To fully leverage the benefits, it is advisable to have more than 8 GB of VRAM and a graphics card that supports the DXR feature, which also requires Windows DirectX 12 support. Cards such as Nvidia RTX, AMD RX, and Intel ARC support these features.
  • (**) AIrBIM is not compatible with Intel ARC graphics cards.

Mac Compatibility

ACCA software for Mac recommends the use of an Intel-based MAC equipped with OS X Leopard (10.5) or higher.

ACCA software products have been tested using VMWare, Parallels, Virtual Box and Boot Camp virtualizers running Microsoft Windows 7, Windows 8 and Windows 10.

The correct and efficient functioning of our software products also depend on the quality of the Windows virtualizer environment and the type of hardware in use.

 

WARNING

  • Edificius cannot be used with the Virtual BOX Windows virtualizer environment.
  • Real Time Rendering features do not function correctly when using Windows virtualized environments.
 

Keyboard and Mouse use

Some key combinations correspond to specific program features and are not directly available with the MAC’s keyboard layout and its mouse. The table below shows the key combinations that allow MAC users to take full advantage of these features. Windows Boot Camp, VMWare, Virtual Box and Parallels and been used in our compatibility tests. All of the following key combinations have been tested with our products using Apple’s Magic Mouse.
