Apple MacBook Air M1: KSViewer – 0.76, Camera FPS – ~80.3

Primarily use Keyshot with Onshape, ran the benchmark on a new MBA with M1 processor.

I understand it's running through an emulation layer, using it for initial project setup/composition before I kick it over to a PC to run through the render queue.

MBA is fanless, ran the camera benchmark for a few minutes before recording the fps. Not super scientific but some might find it an interesting data point.

Interesting...

Can you comment on how functional Keyshot 10 is currently on the M1 hardware? I've heard that the denoiser doesn't work along with some other toolbar features, but have been unable to confirm exactly what's broken, if Luxion has acknowledged them, and what the timeline for a fix is. I did reach out to Luxion to get confirmation on if they plan to port a native version of KS to the Apple silicon machines. They said they plan to support Apple's new hardware, but couldn't tell me when to expect native support....I'm hoping it's this year.
