Re: [Chimera-users] Apple M1 chip

Hi Elaine and Tom, I found that if I turn off the silhouettes effect, it is good to rotate the maps smoothly in UCSF Chimera using M1 Mac! ML

hi ML, You can certainly make animations in ChimeraX, including with 2D labels, morphing, rotations, zooming, moving from one position to another, etc. However, currently you would have to write a ChimeraX command script to do it instead of using a graphical interface. Of course, we understand it takes more time to learn the commands than to use a graphical interface! If you just want to make a simple spin movie (one rotation), however, ChimeraX has an icon to do that with a single click. Best, Elaine ----- Elaine C.

Hi Tom, Sorry for that, I mean it is slower, if use chimera in M1 Mac, to open like 3 maps and set step to 1, compared to use chimera in inter Mac. Still some wonderful tools need to use in chimera, like Animation to make movie, if ChimeraX will also have this function, that will be great! Thanks! ML

Hi ML,

We do not have a Chimera version compiled for an Apple M1 processor. Did you mean Chimera is slow on the M1? (you said "old version is quite on M1 Mac" seemed to leave out an important word!) Others have reported the speed of Chimera / ChimeraX on M1 is comparable to Intel processor Macs.

Chimera depends on 50 third party packages that would all need to be available for M1 to make a native Chimera version. We do not plan to attempt that. Our development work is all on our new program ChimeraX, only critical maintenance is done on Chimera. At some point in the future we will probably make a native M1 ChimeraX.

Hi There, Is there a version that is suitable for Apple M1 Mac? I found the old version is quite on M1 Mac. Thanks! ML
