1
00:00:02,080 --> 00:00:08,720
during the apple studio and m1 ultra unveiling back in march apple featured a

2
00:00:06,879 --> 00:00:12,639
selection of professional applications to demonstrate just how far the new soc

3
00:00:11,759 --> 00:00:18,880
is one app from the keynote that caught my eye was clo 3d

4
00:00:16,720 --> 00:00:22,720
it's a 3d clothing simulator that fashion designers can use to prototype

5
00:00:21,039 --> 00:00:26,880
their designs without ever cutting a piece of fabric it's the perfect app to

6
00:00:25,039 --> 00:00:31,760
try the fashion industry has always loved the mac and a 3d workflow like

7
00:00:29,119 --> 00:00:34,559
this will push all those 64 new GPU cores hard

8
00:00:33,120 --> 00:00:39,040
right well to find out i lent a mac studio to

9
00:00:37,120 --> 00:00:45,640
a fashion designer who if you can believe it switched to pc

10
00:00:41,520 --> 00:00:45,640
let's see if we can win him back

11
00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:52,160
this is matthew lu he's a fashion designer here at the creator warehouse

12
00:00:50,480 --> 00:00:56,000
actually designing many of the clothes and accessories found on lttstore.com

13
00:00:56,000 --> 00:01:01,520
right now though he's planning on submitting an entry to the 3d creative

14
00:00:59,600 --> 00:01:06,960
design competition which is being hosted by clo3d

15
00:01:03,359 --> 00:01:09,760
uh so every year uh cloth3d does this 3d

16
00:01:06,960 --> 00:01:13,520
design contest yeah i always wanted to sign up for this contest every year but

17
00:01:11,760 --> 00:01:18,000
i'm always forget about it and i missed the deadline but luckily this year i

18
00:01:15,600 --> 00:01:21,920
remember it and i was able to register for that

19
00:01:20,400 --> 00:01:25,520
though bilingual when it comes to computers he has switched to using his

20
00:01:23,680 --> 00:01:32,479
pc full time so you got a pretty powerful computer

21
00:01:28,799 --> 00:01:36,320
um what specs do you got so here i have

22
00:01:32,479 --> 00:01:38,880
the ryzen 9 3950x 16 core processor with

23
00:01:36,320 --> 00:01:45,119
a 16gb RAM and rtx 3060 ti i do love how you have

24
00:01:42,960 --> 00:01:48,960
an apple look yeah cause you know still apple by heart

25
00:01:47,280 --> 00:01:53,119
look what i have your computer might be small but this is

26
00:01:50,320 --> 00:01:58,240
even smaller price wise it costs about the same as a base m1 max max studio at

27
00:01:56,399 --> 00:02:03,759
around two thousand dollars but i switched to pc mostly because i

28
00:02:01,040 --> 00:02:09,200
wanted to use cloth 3d more but it runs very slow on macOS i've always had a

29
00:02:06,880 --> 00:02:12,879
gaming pc that i use for gaming but then i upgraded that just so i can use khloe

30
00:02:11,039 --> 00:02:16,319
when i was in school well we can't have that so what we're going to do is give

31
00:02:14,640 --> 00:02:21,040
him a mac studio with all the bells and whistles to see if it's good enough with

32
00:02:18,239 --> 00:02:23,680
chloe 3d to switch him back to mac this is the dream

33
00:02:22,480 --> 00:02:27,599
excited yeah i'm excited

34
00:02:25,599 --> 00:02:31,360
i'm really excited to see how this goes for you so i guess we'll report back in

35
00:02:29,440 --> 00:02:34,560
a little bit yes all right best of luck my friend

36
00:02:35,040 --> 00:02:41,040
i am curious how the mac studio is going to perform but while we wait for matthew

37
00:02:39,440 --> 00:02:46,319
to get his hands dirty let's hear from this video's sponsor eugreen this is

38
00:02:43,680 --> 00:02:51,200
their brand new nexode mini 45 watt charger which is perfect for macbook air

39
00:02:48,480 --> 00:02:56,160
users at only 2.62 cubic inches and rocking dual usb-c ports you can share

40
00:02:54,000 --> 00:03:00,239
all this concentrated power between two of your dying devices before upgrading

41
00:02:58,159 --> 00:03:04,800
to apple's compact dual charger check out eugreen's nexode mini at the link in

42
00:03:02,400 --> 00:03:09,280
the description below so when they announced this year's theme

43
00:03:07,040 --> 00:03:13,360
a new definition of craftsmanship first i need to figure out what

44
00:03:11,280 --> 00:03:18,720
what that means so i end up going towards the idea of kind of um

45
00:03:16,159 --> 00:03:22,560
more abstract weave design to summarize it's very difficult

46
00:03:23,120 --> 00:03:29,360
i never expected to see fashion designers using 3d software to design

47
00:03:26,959 --> 00:03:35,599
their clothing it's pretty neat but how useful is it basically it's a fabric

48
00:03:32,239 --> 00:03:37,680
simulator you can quickly simulate your

49
00:03:35,599 --> 00:03:41,760
clothing on an avatar and then make changes based on that

50
00:03:39,360 --> 00:03:47,360
filling a project would usually take hours

51
00:03:43,040 --> 00:03:49,440
days being able to use the software to

52
00:03:47,360 --> 00:03:53,840
adjust your designs make sure it works we actually start producing the real one

53
00:03:52,080 --> 00:03:59,200
like it cuts out issues and troubles down line so that you can kind of build

54
00:03:56,400 --> 00:03:59,200
ideas quicker

55
00:03:59,519 --> 00:04:05,120
so my first day i set up the computer i installed all the software that i need i

56
00:04:03,920 --> 00:04:11,120
start with a kind of like a template of how i

57
00:04:08,080 --> 00:04:13,599
want the fit to kind of look like

58
00:04:11,120 --> 00:04:17,600
i do all that i simulate it looks good then that's when i start adding the

59
00:04:14,720 --> 00:04:21,840
actual like weaving detail um that's where it starts getting a

60
00:04:19,199 --> 00:04:26,960
little tricky on the mac studio because things start to slow down and it

61
00:04:24,080 --> 00:04:32,870
was very hard to kind of leave pieces together without

62
00:04:28,479 --> 00:04:34,560
the frame rates dropping too low

63
00:04:34,560 --> 00:04:41,759
so i tried it on my pc

64
00:04:38,479 --> 00:04:43,040
and then it ran like so much faster like

65
00:04:41,759 --> 00:04:48,320
the FPS um increased like dramatically

66
00:04:45,520 --> 00:04:53,680
so cloud has you can simulate with CPU or GPU yeah and on the pc being

67
00:04:51,600 --> 00:05:00,479
able to simulate with the GPU makes certain processes kind of like more

68
00:04:56,960 --> 00:05:00,479
efficient that i couldn't do on the mac

69
00:05:01,120 --> 00:05:07,840
so it turns out that despite natively supporting apple silicon clo 3d hasn't

70
00:05:05,600 --> 00:05:10,840
yet implemented GPU acceleration on the mac

71
00:05:11,360 --> 00:05:18,320
hey hello how's it going it's going

72
00:05:15,919 --> 00:05:23,600
what's that doing over there well i switched back to pc and oh man

73
00:05:22,160 --> 00:05:28,400
this is a surprise it's important for fashion

74
00:05:26,400 --> 00:05:33,280
designers like matthew because they need the software to be responsive while it

75
00:05:30,720 --> 00:05:37,759
renders their developing designs matthew tells me that GPU acceleration is less

76
00:05:35,440 --> 00:05:42,320
accurate at simulating collisions but that the speed it brings helps with

77
00:05:39,680 --> 00:05:45,039
quickly drafting up his complex ideas i zoom in a lot

78
00:05:47,039 --> 00:05:55,039
like i'm like i'm like scrolling here and it's like so this would be faster on

79
00:05:52,080 --> 00:05:59,840
a pc oh yeah for sure which is why he switched did you feel bad switching back

80
00:05:57,280 --> 00:05:59,840
to pc

81
00:06:02,639 --> 00:06:10,000
not really what definitely was very

82
00:06:07,199 --> 00:06:13,120
not just not the same as using on the pc so it definitely would slow me down i

83
00:06:11,840 --> 00:06:18,160
probably would have needed like probably another week or two to

84
00:06:15,440 --> 00:06:22,560
to work on this project i assume that when apple was promoting this program in

85
00:06:20,240 --> 00:06:28,479
their presentation it was already ready to go and running smoothly on apple

86
00:06:24,880 --> 00:06:32,000
silicon fabric simulation is faster now

87
00:06:28,479 --> 00:06:32,000
oh yeah that i was like no way

88
00:06:32,240 --> 00:06:38,960
but it turns out that at the time of the announcement cloth3d was still running

89
00:06:36,160 --> 00:06:44,160
on rosetta and it wasn't updated until may and as we've seen still isn't taking

90
00:06:41,680 --> 00:06:47,919
advantage of the whole chip so then what about the other apps

91
00:06:45,840 --> 00:06:52,880
during that short clip apple also featured ableton live adobe after

92
00:06:50,319 --> 00:06:57,840
effects vectorworks cinema 4d in redshift and boris fx sapphire it

93
00:06:56,000 --> 00:07:02,080
appears that adobe after effects was the only other app that wasn't running

94
00:06:59,599 --> 00:07:06,800
natively yet with ableton just squeaking their 11.1 release out a month before

95
00:07:05,039 --> 00:07:11,280
and like khloe you can't expect everything to work there are numerous

96
00:07:08,720 --> 00:07:14,479
plugins in ableton that still run on rosetta

97
00:07:12,560 --> 00:07:18,560
it's crazy how long this silicon tech has been out and yet how far behind some

98
00:07:16,560 --> 00:07:22,800
of these plug-in developers actually are meaning much of the performance the m1

99
00:07:20,240 --> 00:07:28,240
ultra offers might still be left on the table something that Anthony discovered

100
00:07:25,120 --> 00:07:30,479
in his tests of the computer on LTT

101
00:07:28,240 --> 00:07:34,479
so the the final kind of moments of getting the design done what was that

102
00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:38,400
like uh very stressful because i changed my ideas a few times again i end up

103
00:07:36,240 --> 00:07:42,319
staying until staying up until like 4am to like

104
00:07:39,919 --> 00:07:47,360
finish it and submit it early so there's not any problems the next day in case

105
00:07:44,240 --> 00:07:47,360
there was any problems

106
00:07:47,440 --> 00:07:52,720
after all this time i mean there's got to be something the mac does better than

107
00:07:51,120 --> 00:07:57,039
the pc right interactive render so like live render

108
00:07:55,280 --> 00:08:02,000
did perform better on the macOS so that's way faster yeah

109
00:08:00,400 --> 00:08:04,879
so when you were when it was two in the morning yeah

110
00:08:03,440 --> 00:08:09,280
and you had finished on that computer you actually came to this computer to oh

111
00:08:06,560 --> 00:08:12,720
no i still wasn't that one i was on time crunch so i didn't want to

112
00:08:10,720 --> 00:08:15,840
but this would have helped you know i didn't know that before i don't i

113
00:08:14,720 --> 00:08:19,919
didn't want to risk it because you know from my experience using the simulation

114
00:08:17,759 --> 00:08:24,720
before so here's why it's submitted so this would be like your the concept

115
00:08:22,160 --> 00:08:28,960
image so this is my concept how do you feel about the final design

116
00:08:26,319 --> 00:08:32,000
it was like i'm happy with it like i don't think i would have submitted if i

117
00:08:30,720 --> 00:08:37,440
was unhappy with it i don't think i would have submitted it here's the top

118
00:08:35,360 --> 00:08:42,560
and then the back no no i just noticed this

119
00:08:40,399 --> 00:08:46,240
oh no i shouldn't have stayed up till 4am or i should submit the next day so

120
00:08:44,800 --> 00:08:50,480
that way i'm not like like this morning

121
00:08:48,080 --> 00:08:55,360
yeah so what what what's happened there i think i just didn't simulate that part

122
00:08:52,560 --> 00:09:00,000
to go over the under layer it's okay what's done is done

123
00:08:57,760 --> 00:09:04,480
i can't go back and change it so this is where the simulation kind of

124
00:09:02,240 --> 00:09:08,720
make or break your well because this is done with GPU simulation well sometimes

125
00:09:06,880 --> 00:09:12,640
on GPU simulation the fabric goes through

126
00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:16,240
itself versus CPU simulation where it kind of can like it knows when there's a

127
00:09:14,640 --> 00:09:21,040
fabric on top so that means the mac would have helped

128
00:09:17,920 --> 00:09:23,360
here now to be fair to clo they have

129
00:09:21,040 --> 00:09:29,519
never supported GPU acceleration on macOS because they use NVIDIA's cuda API so

130
00:09:27,120 --> 00:09:33,760
if in a future release they do bring metal GPU acceleration to the mac that

131
00:09:31,760 --> 00:09:39,279
would be a big boon for mac loving fashion designers who use the platform

132
00:09:36,240 --> 00:09:41,839
bringing it to feature parody

133
00:09:39,279 --> 00:09:45,519
thanks for doing the test for us yeah thanks for

134
00:09:43,680 --> 00:09:50,640
giving me this opportunity sounds like a job it sounds like a job interview

135
00:09:50,640 --> 00:09:56,800
well yeah yeah the opportunity to learn that it was worse yeah yeah you saved me

136
00:09:55,279 --> 00:10:00,800
the trouble from buying one trying it myself were you wanting to do that no

137
00:09:59,440 --> 00:10:05,839
okay well now i know i for sure won't

138
00:10:03,360 --> 00:10:10,399
so like would you get an m1 max max studio if cloud3d had GPU acceleration

139
00:10:09,360 --> 00:10:16,000
i would would rather have

140
00:10:13,440 --> 00:10:19,839
this in a laptop form like i wouldn't buy a desktop mac

141
00:10:24,320 --> 00:10:30,000
i hear the results are in yes

142
00:10:27,600 --> 00:10:33,600
how do you i don't know i don't know what to expect

143
00:10:32,240 --> 00:10:38,320
really because i haven't seen all the people's work so i'm not too sure what

144
00:10:35,440 --> 00:10:42,640
to expect i'm nervous for you oh yeah same here

145
00:10:40,399 --> 00:10:48,160
no you don't have to whisper it

146
00:10:46,079 --> 00:10:52,880
also how do you feel about the contest like knowing the results i don't think

147
00:10:50,320 --> 00:10:56,320
i would have changed anything like and what i submitted i was happy with

148
00:10:57,760 --> 00:11:03,600
so it turns out we both lose it's been over two years since apple announced

149
00:11:01,760 --> 00:11:06,720
their transition to ARM and in that time we've got very compelling and efficient

150
00:11:05,120 --> 00:11:11,360
computers that are fantastic for day-to-day use but things haven't been

151
00:11:08,480 --> 00:11:15,120
going quickly i mean microsoft only just announced their apple silicon native

152
00:11:13,200 --> 00:11:18,880
version of the teams app which they're still going to be rolling out slowly

153
00:11:16,480 --> 00:11:22,399
somehow if you're a professional that doesn't

154
00:11:20,800 --> 00:11:26,399
edit a video and you're thinking about upgrading to an apple silicon mac check

155
00:11:24,720 --> 00:11:30,240
the system requirements of your app of choice to see if it's ready because

156
00:11:28,160 --> 00:11:34,800
otherwise you might still want to wait thanks for disappointing this mac

157
00:11:32,480 --> 00:11:38,320
address if you are not a professional and still interested in apple silicon

158
00:11:36,480 --> 00:11:40,800
mac give this video a like and if you are professional

159
00:11:39,760 --> 00:11:45,680
you might as well subscribe because we'll find out when it's ready now in the comments i'm curious

160
00:11:44,480 --> 00:11:48,959
have you found a piece of software that's still

161
00:11:47,680 --> 00:11:52,880
been giving you trouble in this transition and what is it
