MacCAD & 3D Carbon Applications News

Architosh will be working on a list of Carbonized (that means ready for OS X) applications in the coming weeks, as time draws near the expected public beta of Mac OS X. According to Steve Jobs' Macworld Expo Keynote, OS X Public Beta will be released in September. There are two events planned in September where this can happen: Apple Expo, the main European Mac event; and Seybold Conference and Expo in San Francisco.

As you probably know from our main page, VectorWorks for OS X is expected near the introduction for OS X. But that's hardly the only CAD/3D application ready for prime time with OS X.

Here's a small list of Carbon apps (partly compiled from Xappeal.org).

• VectorWorks
• RenderWorks
• LightWave 6
• Maya for OS X
• FormZ
• BOA

Others that should be joining the list very shortly (but need to be verified) are:

• Cinema4D
• Electric Image
• ArchiCAD
• PowerCADD2000
• others...

If you know of an application not listed here or you are developing one, please send us a note. Thanks.
