Would a MacBook M5 Pro Max be able to run Copernicus? I’m reading conflicting feedback on the inter webs.

Thanks!

Since Houdini 21, yes.
Copernicus runs fine on Apple Silicon Macs.

Earlier builds had some macOS specific issues. Mainly preview material & refresh. But those are mostly resolved now.
There’s no general OptiX dependency in Copernicus.
The main exception is AI denoising with OptiX which is NVIDIA only. On a Mac we just use OIDN instead and it works just fine (I use it in Karma as well).
