What are the plans for UF and the Mac? I realize that Apple does not support Vulkan so it does seem iffy.

Hi Rachel! smile:)

Version 1 certainly won't have Mac support, because of the missing Vulkan support and the amout of work on the GUI in general.

In the future releases, however, things may get interesting. I don't expect Apple adding Vulkan support, but we could take a different route -- we could allow all nodes except the Vulkan-based ones. For example, we could allow all CPU nodes (strings, booleans, bitmaps), and perhaps even Stable Diffusion nodes. Though we haven't yet performed any experiments on that, so take my reply with a grain of salt.

So there will not be for start a final version released for mac at first, BUT I think that it may be possible to use something like the Parallels software to emulate and use Windows 11 inside the Mac so it could run and use Ultraforge with Mac.

I suppose it should be compatible because I think that Vulkan is inside the OS and graphics drivers and these will be used in the Parallels software

Another thing is that the new M1 and M2 apple computer with exclusive integrated graphics cards may be compatible or not

I agree that I do not think that will never allow a native and direct support for Vulkan it works Vulkan only through the available Lunar software plugin workaround
