Does anyone have experience doing TD with vmware fusion? A search brings me here to find info about using touch designer through vmware fusion on mac os x, but I see nothing here on this topic.

Don't even bother. It's a no-go. TouchDesigner needs actual Nvidia drivers and the full 512MB of the video card. It couldn't even draw the application's UI correctly. Blah. Don’t even bother.

TouchDesigner will only run on this configuration or better:

  • Windows XP SP2 or Windows Vista SP1. Vista caveats include no horizontal span. On Mac hardware Bootcamp only (no emulators).
  • NVIDIA Geforce 7800. ATI cards may function. Other cards or integrated graphics chips will likely not function. TouchDesigner uses advanced features of OpenGL to maximize performance.
  • most recent graphics driver
  • 512 MB GRAM minimum on the graphics card

I'm going to try creating a new Windows 7 virtual machine first, then Windows XP if that flakes. I'll let you know what the performance is like.

Think it would run ok in, VMWare? Looks like a fun app! Think it would run ok in, VMWare?
