[GPlates-discuss] GPlates 3D volume issue on macOS Mojave

[John Cannon]

Hi all,

If you use 3D volumes (3D scalar fields) in GPlates on macOS and have not yet upgraded to Mojave (10.14.3) you may want to reconsider for now.

Currently 3D volumes render incorrectly and then crash in the graphics driver on some Macs. We are currently looking into it.

So far it has happened on Macs with AMD graphics, specifically AMD Radeon Pro 460. Whereas my Mac, with Intel Iris Plus 640, works fine.

Note that disabling automatic GPU switching doesn't help since this always uses the discrete graphics (eg, AMD) and not the integrated graphics (eg, Intel HD).

Regards,
John
