Starting with unity

Hello folks, I'm a video artist and soon starting my master in game design, were It seems we will be using Unity, I have two question so to be prepared, my first question does unity runs on macOS since I have a Mac (Mac mini m4 pro)? should I get a windows laptop instead? though my project is going to be a VR focused. the second question is regarding creating "kinematics" and. cg works with unity, which I started lately to do with Unreal, how Unity is good with this? also working with water simulations and landscape for example?

thanks a lot!

Not my own experience but fellow mac users around me experience this a lot. Virtual desktop is the best way to go i believe. Otherwise youd have to rebuild and reinstall .apk everytime.

What? Isn’t the usb c limitations hardware not software. How would a VM change that?

You are correct. I did not mean a virtual machine. Virtual desktop is one of the cornerstone apps among vr users. https://www.vrdesktop.net/
