| Software | Native on Mac? | Key Features | |----------|----------------|----------------| | | Yes | Photorealistic rendering, IES support, similar to AGi32 | | Dialux evo | Yes | Free, indoor/outdoor, street lighting, energy code compliance | | Relux | Yes | Free, BIM integration, daylight & artificial lighting | | LightStanza | Web-based | Cloud calculation engine, works in browser (Mac/PC/Linux) | ✅ Recommendation If you must use AGi32 (e.g., for firm compatibility, client deliverables, or legacy projects): Run it on a Mac using Parallels Desktop + Windows 11 ARM — it is the most stable and performant option for production work. If you are open to change: Try Dialux evo or Relux (both free and Mac-native). For high-end renderings, Visual is a solid paid alternative. Final Verdict AGi32 is not available for macOS natively, and no announcement suggests a future Mac version. Lighting Analysts remains Windows-focused. Mac users must virtualize or emulate Windows, or switch to Mac-native or web-based lighting software.
