Where's the Mac love?
Granted, it sucks that they didn't make it for every platform, but don't lose hope. You could always try Boot Camp or Parallels to get Windows running on your system.
I use a Mac as well, but even if I had a Windows box, I'd still be sculpting mine out of clay.
There is a thread on here which has (just) the helm, but that doesn't solve the rest of the armor.
(Hoping this doesn't turn into a PC/Mac thread...)

I LOVE my iBook but it died not to long ago. I still need to replace it but I'm fine with my powerbook for now. I use Apples because I'm a designer and nothing compares to designing on a Mac. I have a PC for when I program because PCs are WAY better for that, oh, and for gaming.
If you want armor, use windows, I'm tired of exporting pep files to .bmp files for mac users to print.Grunts Deserve Shields Too said:
Sorry to hear your using a mac, and mac doesnt work with pepakura, but there is no other program that works.

It's actually getting a lot better now. Mac gaming is on the rise again. I personally think Blizzard is showing everyone how it's done by releasing both platforms of their games on one disc.AoBfrost said:
Especially with CIDER, Parallels, Boot Camp, and the new Intel architecture, porting (and simultaneous releases) are becoming SOP.

You know computer programming like Java and Visual Basic.

I think that hit the nail on the head - I grew up with my dad's old Mac, and I'm still using my old eMac. My mum's got her work computer, which I've pilfered for Pep and a few games, but I'm still a diehard Mac junkie. My eMac still beats the PC for video and music editing, (in my opinion) which is my main concern.
It all comes down to preference.

It all depends on what language your programming in. For example Visual Basic is Microsoft's so unless you have boot camp on your mac or Virtual PC or anything related you'd have a hard time using Visual Studio .Net. I suppose you could use Xcode now but I like Visual Studio.
drgon47 said:Evil Femle, what type of powerbook are you running ? I have a PowerBook G4 1.3 12" I love it. Sucks at gaming and whatnot, but I bought this cause it was compact, light, and travels easy. I have a redneck rig for gaming
I have the same Powerbook. The super drive is broke though so that sucks. The iBook was my baby. I had all my design work, photography, web work, illustrations, videos, and more on the HD and now it wont turn on. I need to salvage all my hard work off the hard drive now.

You could always use RealBasic.
And yeah, I used to work at MacEdge, and anytime someone came in with a broken lappy that they needed the HD from, we cracked* open their case, and hooked up the HD to an external casing. It's still your old files, just...in a swanky external housing.
*Okay, cracked is a harsh word, but you get what I mean.
