WEBVTT

00:00:02.080 --> 00:00:08.720
during the apple studio and m1 ultra unveiling back in march apple featured a

00:00:06.879 --> 00:00:12.639
selection of professional applications to demonstrate just how far the new soc

00:00:11.759 --> 00:00:18.880
is one app from the keynote that caught my eye was clo 3d

00:00:16.720 --> 00:00:22.720
it's a 3d clothing simulator that fashion designers can use to prototype

00:00:21.039 --> 00:00:26.880
their designs without ever cutting a piece of fabric it's the perfect app to

00:00:25.039 --> 00:00:31.760
try the fashion industry has always loved the mac and a 3d workflow like

00:00:29.119 --> 00:00:34.559
this will push all those 64 new GPU cores hard

00:00:33.120 --> 00:00:39.040
right well to find out i lent a mac studio to

00:00:37.120 --> 00:00:45.640
a fashion designer who if you can believe it switched to pc

00:00:41.520 --> 00:00:45.640
let's see if we can win him back

00:00:46.000 --> 00:00:52.160
this is matthew lu he's a fashion designer here at the creator warehouse

00:00:50.480 --> 00:00:56.000
actually designing many of the clothes and accessories found on lttstore.com

00:00:56.000 --> 00:01:01.520
right now though he's planning on submitting an entry to the 3d creative

00:00:59.600 --> 00:01:06.960
design competition which is being hosted by clo3d

00:01:03.359 --> 00:01:09.760
uh so every year uh cloth3d does this 3d

00:01:06.960 --> 00:01:13.520
design contest yeah i always wanted to sign up for this contest every year but

00:01:11.760 --> 00:01:18.000
i'm always forget about it and i missed the deadline but luckily this year i

00:01:15.600 --> 00:01:21.920
remember it and i was able to register for that

00:01:20.400 --> 00:01:25.520
though bilingual when it comes to computers he has switched to using his

00:01:23.680 --> 00:01:32.479
pc full time so you got a pretty powerful computer

00:01:28.799 --> 00:01:36.320
um what specs do you got so here i have

00:01:32.479 --> 00:01:38.880
the ryzen 9 3950x 16 core processor with

00:01:36.320 --> 00:01:45.119
a 16gb RAM and rtx 3060 ti i do love how you have

00:01:42.960 --> 00:01:48.960
an apple look yeah cause you know still apple by heart

00:01:47.280 --> 00:01:53.119
look what i have your computer might be small but this is

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

00:01:56.399 --> 00:02:03.759
around two thousand dollars but i switched to pc mostly because i

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

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

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

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

00:02:18.239 --> 00:02:23.680
chloe 3d to switch him back to mac this is the dream

00:02:22.480 --> 00:02:27.599
excited yeah i'm excited

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

00:02:29.440 --> 00:02:34.560
a little bit yes all right best of luck my friend

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

00:02:39.440 --> 00:02:46.319
to get his hands dirty let's hear from this video's sponsor eugreen this is

00:02:43.680 --> 00:02:51.200
their brand new nexode mini 45 watt charger which is perfect for macbook air

00:02:48.480 --> 00:02:56.160
users at only 2.62 cubic inches and rocking dual usb-c ports you can share

00:02:54.000 --> 00:03:00.239
all this concentrated power between two of your dying devices before upgrading

00:02:58.159 --> 00:03:04.800
to apple's compact dual charger check out eugreen's nexode mini at the link in

00:03:02.400 --> 00:03:09.280
the description below so when they announced this year's theme

00:03:07.040 --> 00:03:13.360
a new definition of craftsmanship first i need to figure out what

00:03:11.280 --> 00:03:18.720
what that means so i end up going towards the idea of kind of um

00:03:16.159 --> 00:03:22.560
more abstract weave design to summarize it's very difficult

00:03:23.120 --> 00:03:29.360
i never expected to see fashion designers using 3d software to design

00:03:26.959 --> 00:03:35.599
their clothing it's pretty neat but how useful is it basically it's a fabric

00:03:32.239 --> 00:03:37.680
simulator you can quickly simulate your

00:03:35.599 --> 00:03:41.760
clothing on an avatar and then make changes based on that

00:03:39.360 --> 00:03:47.360
filling a project would usually take hours

00:03:43.040 --> 00:03:49.440
days being able to use the software to

00:03:47.360 --> 00:03:53.840
adjust your designs make sure it works we actually start producing the real one

00:03:52.080 --> 00:03:59.200
like it cuts out issues and troubles down line so that you can kind of build

00:03:56.400 --> 00:03:59.200
ideas quicker

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

00:04:03.920 --> 00:04:11.120
start with a kind of like a template of how i

00:04:08.080 --> 00:04:13.599
want the fit to kind of look like

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

00:04:14.720 --> 00:04:21.840
actual like weaving detail um that's where it starts getting a

00:04:19.199 --> 00:04:26.960
little tricky on the mac studio because things start to slow down and it

00:04:24.080 --> 00:04:32.870
was very hard to kind of leave pieces together without

00:04:28.479 --> 00:04:34.560
the frame rates dropping too low

00:04:34.560 --> 00:04:41.759
so i tried it on my pc

00:04:38.479 --> 00:04:43.040
and then it ran like so much faster like

00:04:41.759 --> 00:04:48.320
the FPS um increased like dramatically

00:04:45.520 --> 00:04:53.680
so cloud has you can simulate with CPU or GPU yeah and on the pc being

00:04:51.600 --> 00:05:00.479
able to simulate with the GPU makes certain processes kind of like more

00:04:56.960 --> 00:05:00.479
efficient that i couldn't do on the mac

00:05:01.120 --> 00:05:07.840
so it turns out that despite natively supporting apple silicon clo 3d hasn't

00:05:05.600 --> 00:05:10.840
yet implemented GPU acceleration on the mac

00:05:11.360 --> 00:05:18.320
hey hello how's it going it's going

00:05:15.919 --> 00:05:23.600
what's that doing over there well i switched back to pc and oh man

00:05:22.160 --> 00:05:28.400
this is a surprise it's important for fashion

00:05:26.400 --> 00:05:33.280
designers like matthew because they need the software to be responsive while it

00:05:30.720 --> 00:05:37.759
renders their developing designs matthew tells me that GPU acceleration is less

00:05:35.440 --> 00:05:42.320
accurate at simulating collisions but that the speed it brings helps with

00:05:39.680 --> 00:05:45.039
quickly drafting up his complex ideas i zoom in a lot

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

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

00:05:57.280 --> 00:05:59.840
to pc

00:06:02.639 --> 00:06:10.000
not really what definitely was very

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

00:06:11.840 --> 00:06:18.160
probably would have needed like probably another week or two to

00:06:15.440 --> 00:06:22.560
to work on this project i assume that when apple was promoting this program in

00:06:20.240 --> 00:06:28.479
their presentation it was already ready to go and running smoothly on apple

00:06:24.880 --> 00:06:32.000
silicon fabric simulation is faster now

00:06:28.479 --> 00:06:32.000
oh yeah that i was like no way

00:06:32.240 --> 00:06:38.960
but it turns out that at the time of the announcement cloth3d was still running

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

00:06:41.680 --> 00:06:47.919
advantage of the whole chip so then what about the other apps

00:06:45.840 --> 00:06:52.880
during that short clip apple also featured ableton live adobe after

00:06:50.319 --> 00:06:57.840
effects vectorworks cinema 4d in redshift and boris fx sapphire it

00:06:56.000 --> 00:07:02.080
appears that adobe after effects was the only other app that wasn't running

00:06:59.599 --> 00:07:06.800
natively yet with ableton just squeaking their 11.1 release out a month before

00:07:05.039 --> 00:07:11.280
and like khloe you can't expect everything to work there are numerous

00:07:08.720 --> 00:07:14.479
plugins in ableton that still run on rosetta

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

00:07:16.560 --> 00:07:22.800
of these plug-in developers actually are meaning much of the performance the m1

00:07:20.240 --> 00:07:28.240
ultra offers might still be left on the table something that Anthony discovered

00:07:25.120 --> 00:07:30.479
in his tests of the computer on LTT

00:07:28.240 --> 00:07:34.479
so the the final kind of moments of getting the design done what was that

00:07:32.000 --> 00:07:38.400
like uh very stressful because i changed my ideas a few times again i end up

00:07:36.240 --> 00:07:42.319
staying until staying up until like 4am to like

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

00:07:44.240 --> 00:07:47.360
there was any problems

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

00:07:51.120 --> 00:07:57.039
the pc right interactive render so like live render

00:07:55.280 --> 00:08:02.000
did perform better on the macOS so that's way faster yeah

00:08:00.400 --> 00:08:04.879
so when you were when it was two in the morning yeah

00:08:03.440 --> 00:08:09.280
and you had finished on that computer you actually came to this computer to oh

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

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

00:08:14.720 --> 00:08:19.919
didn't want to risk it because you know from my experience using the simulation

00:08:17.759 --> 00:08:24.720
before so here's why it's submitted so this would be like your the concept

00:08:22.160 --> 00:08:28.960
image so this is my concept how do you feel about the final design

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

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

00:08:35.360 --> 00:08:42.560
and then the back no no i just noticed this

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

00:08:44.800 --> 00:08:50.480
that way i'm not like like this morning

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

00:08:52.560 --> 00:09:00.000
to go over the under layer it's okay what's done is done

00:08:57.760 --> 00:09:04.480
i can't go back and change it so this is where the simulation kind of

00:09:02.240 --> 00:09:08.720
make or break your well because this is done with GPU simulation well sometimes

00:09:06.880 --> 00:09:12.640
on GPU simulation the fabric goes through

00:09:10.000 --> 00:09:16.240
itself versus CPU simulation where it kind of can like it knows when there's a

00:09:14.640 --> 00:09:21.040
fabric on top so that means the mac would have helped

00:09:17.920 --> 00:09:23.360
here now to be fair to clo they have

00:09:21.040 --> 00:09:29.519
never supported GPU acceleration on macOS because they use NVIDIA's cuda API so

00:09:27.120 --> 00:09:33.760
if in a future release they do bring metal GPU acceleration to the mac that

00:09:31.760 --> 00:09:39.279
would be a big boon for mac loving fashion designers who use the platform

00:09:36.240 --> 00:09:41.839
bringing it to feature parody

00:09:39.279 --> 00:09:45.519
thanks for doing the test for us yeah thanks for

00:09:43.680 --> 00:09:50.640
giving me this opportunity sounds like a job it sounds like a job interview

00:09:50.640 --> 00:09:56.800
well yeah yeah the opportunity to learn that it was worse yeah yeah you saved me

00:09:55.279 --> 00:10:00.800
the trouble from buying one trying it myself were you wanting to do that no

00:09:59.440 --> 00:10:05.839
okay well now i know i for sure won't

00:10:03.360 --> 00:10:10.399
so like would you get an m1 max max studio if cloud3d had GPU acceleration

00:10:09.360 --> 00:10:16.000
i would would rather have

00:10:13.440 --> 00:10:19.839
this in a laptop form like i wouldn't buy a desktop mac

00:10:24.320 --> 00:10:30.000
i hear the results are in yes

00:10:27.600 --> 00:10:33.600
how do you i don't know i don't know what to expect

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

00:10:35.440 --> 00:10:42.640
to expect i'm nervous for you oh yeah same here

00:10:40.399 --> 00:10:48.160
no you don't have to whisper it

00:10:46.079 --> 00:10:52.880
also how do you feel about the contest like knowing the results i don't think

00:10:50.320 --> 00:10:56.320
i would have changed anything like and what i submitted i was happy with

00:10:57.760 --> 00:11:03.600
so it turns out we both lose it's been over two years since apple announced

00:11:01.760 --> 00:11:06.720
their transition to ARM and in that time we've got very compelling and efficient

00:11:05.120 --> 00:11:11.360
computers that are fantastic for day-to-day use but things haven't been

00:11:08.480 --> 00:11:15.120
going quickly i mean microsoft only just announced their apple silicon native

00:11:13.200 --> 00:11:18.880
version of the teams app which they're still going to be rolling out slowly

00:11:16.480 --> 00:11:22.399
somehow if you're a professional that doesn't

00:11:20.800 --> 00:11:26.399
edit a video and you're thinking about upgrading to an apple silicon mac check

00:11:24.720 --> 00:11:30.240
the system requirements of your app of choice to see if it's ready because

00:11:28.160 --> 00:11:34.800
otherwise you might still want to wait thanks for disappointing this mac

00:11:32.480 --> 00:11:38.320
address if you are not a professional and still interested in apple silicon

00:11:36.480 --> 00:11:40.800
mac give this video a like and if you are professional

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

00:11:44.480 --> 00:11:48.959
have you found a piece of software that's still

00:11:47.680 --> 00:11:52.880
been giving you trouble in this transition and what is it
