So sad to see that nothing is still solved, seems like Corona does not care about Mac users at all. I really do not want to migrate to PC after 12 years... can anyone let us know, there is something being done about this issue? M chips are super fast for anything from 2d graphics to video editing, seems bit weird they would be THAT bad for rendering. Worse than 4+ years old Intels...
Look - I've worked professionally on macs for over 25 years - and it would be handy to do everything on one machine.
But you need to face the facts and use the right tool for the job - and for anyone who renders a lot with either GPU or CPU engines, that is a PC. And it has been for at least a decade.
Being disappointed with Corona will make zero difference to this.
