3ds Max is probably the best 3D modeling software for Windows computers, however it is unfortunately not supported on macOS. If you decide to switch from a Windows PC to a Macbook, you will need to either select a 3ds Max alternative that is available to Mac users and learn to use it, or install Windows OS on your Macbook.
If that is a Windows app with no OS X equivalent, then you need to run Windows.

- In this video i'm going to show you how to install 3ds Max on Mac OS with Parallels Desktop 15. First I'm going to download and install 3ds Max 2020 on macOS.
- I want to have 3DS Max on my Mac, because my Adobe Master Collections contract is licensed under apple products. There are Universities facing the same issues. It's difficult to move over to 3DS Max Windows because the cost transfer under adobe bulk contracts would be three times the cost. There's a conference call recently setup with Autodesk.
There are presently several alternatives for running Windows on Intel Macs. Here is a list of the primary options in the market place.
- Apple Boot Camp software. Boot Camp enables you to boot the computer into OS X or Windows. (Free because it comes with OS X. You must own a legitimate Windows Full Retail Installer.)
- Parallels Desktop for Mac. Parallels is a software virtualization that enables running Windows concurrently with OS X.
- VM Fusion.VM Fusion is software virtualization that enables running Windows concurrently with OS X.
- CrossOver. Enables running many Windows applications without having to install Windows. The Windows applications can run concurrently with OS X.
- VirtualBox. Open Source freeware virtual machine such as VM Fusion and Parallels that was developed by Solaris. (Free because it comes with OS X. You must own a legitimate Windows Full Retail Installer.)
- Veertu. A new entry from Open Source utilizing native virtualization. It's a fast and secure way to run VMs on the Mac.
- Veertu Desktop is supported on Mac models of early/mid-2011 or later running Yosemite 10.10 or later.
Parallels, VM Fusion, VirtualBox, and Veertu can also run other operating systems such as Linux, Unix, OS/2, Solaris, etc. There are performance differences between dual-boot systems and virtualization. The latter tend to be a little slower (not much) and do not provide the video performance of the dual-boot system. A 2015 comparison of Parallels, VM Fusion, and Virtual Box is found at 2015 VM Benchmarks: Parallels 11 vs. Fusion 8 vs. VirtualBox 5. A review of these and other competitors is found in PCMag: The Best Virtualization Software of 2017. Boot Camp is available with Lion and later.

You must also have an internal optical drive for installing Windows. Windows cannot be installed from an external optical drive. Windows must be installed on an internal drive if you use Boot Camp. A license must be purchased for all commercial software and operating system products. Open Source software is free.
