I'll get an Apple Silicon powered desktop Mac later when DAZ is running on Big Sur. Which is why I chose the MacBook Pro for right now. For those who are buying a new Apple Silicon Mac, then that's a tough call. If it's only a few months, I can wait and upgrade to Big Sur next year when DAZ is ready for it. Wanted to make sure I had Catalina instead of Big Sur. I picked up a new MacBook Pro (the 16" i9 one, instead of the 13" M1). SadRobot, I believe DAZ will get the issue with Big Sur sorted out in a few months. My iMac is a 2011 model with a 256MB Nvidia card, but is sitting unused since it's having issues now. Haven't done that since my Amiga/NewTek/Lightwave days in the late 1980s. I'd like to get back into animation (at a basic level). Some users are attempting to load a system library into Big Sur (it was replaced by a newer version which seems to cause DAZ Studio to become inoperable.) We'll see how that progresses. There are some official forum threads here that have more in-depth discussions of Big Sur and DAZ Studio. Getting a new MacBook Pro with an 8-core i9 made a huge difference in rendering speed, though certainly not as speedy as being able to use an Nvidia GPU. That's what I've been doing for the bulk of this year. Not ideal, but if your current iMac can render quick enough using Iray and the CPU, then I'd say go for it. When DAZ updates Studio for the Mac, I'm pretty sure they'll include Filament and compatibility with Big Sur.
