3ds max on iMac OS X 10.9.4

Hello,

I just purchased an iMac 27 inch OS X 10.9.4 // 3.2 GHz Intel Core i5.

I need to install 3ds max studio on my device as soon as possible, I was told to buy a windows operating system and then install it on the iMac and start using it via bootcamp.

May I know which version do I have to buy to start using 3ds max. I searched and the result was not to buy 8.1 version because it is not compatible.

If anyone managed to install the program please let me know, I need it to start doing my projects.

Thank You,

iMac, OS X Mavericks (10.9.4)

Well, no one is replying to you so I'll just jump in here, although I'm no expert.

First of all there is this thread elsewhere: can i use 3dsmax 2015 on a mac via bootcamp

Second, I did run 3DS Max successfully on an iMac but that was several years ago on an older system so I don't know how current hardware and software will interact.

Thirdly, there are a number of threads here about how to install Windows on your iMac. Once you have Windows up and running you then install and run 3DS Max within Windows. To find out if your version of Max and your version of Windows are compatible you have to look at the system requirements for your version of 3DS Max which are available from Autodesk. Any questions about that are probably more suited to a 3DS Max forum.
