Remake for Mac - offline ?

[bassula.maria]

Hello,

When is coming REmake for Mac offline edition ?

Thank you !

[brianmathews]

There are no plans to make an offline version of ReMake for the Macintosh.  The Mac version of ReMake is currently Beta and is not an officially supported product.  During the beta we have found issues with supporting the Mac as there are testing and development issues between OS releases, graphics card manufacturers, drivers and OS patches.  While the Mac is a great platform in general, it seems that our specialized use of GPU's is out of the normal use case that Apple develops and tests against.  It hasn't been a stable platform to build ReMake on since code that works one day is often broken the next day with each new OS or hardware change.   We are evaluating our Mac support options and will announce at a future date where we will go with the Beta.  As for local compute on the Mac: we don't recommend local compute on any device (mac or windows) except for experts and enterprises with deep pockets since it requires such a high end computer.  With local compute we've found customers often don't purchase a system with enough RAM and VRAM and their large projects don't solve, resulting in an expensive door stop.  For almost everyone the cloud is a much better option since you can use our big systems and let us take the risk if a job is too big to solve in the available RAM/VRAM.  Also, we are continually improving our algorithms and can deploy those improvements frequently to the cloud.

I unfortunately uninstalled ReMake from my Mac because I thought I could just download and reinstall it anytime in the future. Is there anywhere I could access the version that was previously available? I don't mind if it's not the most up to date, I just need to open some .rcm and export them to .obj files so I can use them in other applications.

Hello,

You may also use the following MAC installer which will work till end of March to convert any other files you might have. It is the same version you earlier had.

Hello,

could you help me out as well with a older mac version of ReMake ?

I have a student license, my computer is a Mac. I am working with remake since several month. But now the software doesn’t open any more.
When I try to open it, there is a window popping up which says « Download the newest version of Autodesk ReMake", when I chose yes I realize that there is only the Windows version, when I click on "no" the soft doesn't open at all.
Three month work that is now on the soft and I can not acceed to it. If Autodesk doesn't build any more Remake for mac ok, but I should at least be able to export my work.

I have the impression the soft has been blocked by autodesk ?

Many thanks for your help !

Brigitte,

Did you find a solution? I ran into the same issue and tried to install the Windows version using VirtualBox. I then made a photogrammetry model using ReCap360 but can't figure out how to edit or export it.

Benjamin,

I wrote to Autodesk, but no solution has been proposed for the use of the existing ReMake !
Hopefully I got some help from a PC owner to export all the files.
Unfortunatly Mac owner will have to quit Autodesk an find other software suppliers.

You can give trnio a try

it is iOS based - testing it right now to see how precise the meshes are

the process to make the mesh is pretty fast which makes me a little concerned but then again this is photo digitizing not laser digitizing.

Thank you, I will try !
