System Requirements
Minimum Hardware
Intel i7-8700K or AMD Ryzen 7 2700X processor, 16GB RAM, NVIDIA GTX 1070 or AMD RX 580 graphics card with 8GB VRAM. These specs ensure smooth viewport navigation and real-time rendering during development sessions.
Recommended Setup
Intel i9-12900K or AMD Ryzen 9 5900X, 32GB DDR4, RTX 3080 or better with 12GB+ VRAM. High-end configurations enable complex scene rendering and multiple viewport workflows without performance bottlenecks.
Storage & Network
1TB NVMe SSD for project files and asset libraries. Gigabit internet connection recommended for cloud rendering and collaborative features. Fast storage dramatically improves asset loading and project compilation times.
Display Configuration
Dual monitor setup with 2560x1440 or higher resolution. Color-accurate displays supporting sRGB color space for precise material and lighting work. Multiple screens enhance productivity by separating viewport, timeline, and property panels.
Software & Tools
Operating System
Windows 11 Pro (64-bit) or macOS Monterey 12.3+. Linux Ubuntu 22.04 LTS supported for advanced users. Updated graphics drivers essential for optimal GPU acceleration and stability.
Runtime Dependencies
DirectX 12 or OpenGL 4.6, Visual C++ 2022 Redistributable, .NET 6.0 Runtime. These frameworks handle low-level graphics operations and ensure compatibility across different hardware configurations.
Development Environment
Modern web browser with WebGL 2.0 support for cloud-based tools. Node.js 18.x for build processes and asset pipeline automation. Git integration for version control and collaborative development workflows.
Professional Add-ons
Optional: Maya 2025, Blender 4.0+, or 3ds Max 2025 for advanced modeling workflows. Substance Designer integration available for procedural texture creation and material authoring pipelines.
Platform Compatibility
Our development environment works seamlessly across major platforms and integrates with industry-standard tools.
Windows Platform
Full feature support on Windows 10/11 with DirectX 12 acceleration. Native integration with Visual Studio and Windows SDK for advanced development workflows.
macOS Support
Metal API acceleration on Apple Silicon and Intel Macs. Optimized for Retina displays and macOS-specific development environments like Xcode integration.
Linux Compatibility
Ubuntu, CentOS, and Arch Linux distributions supported. Vulkan API integration for high-performance rendering on open-source graphics drivers.
