Autodesk Flame Systems

Autodesk Flame is a powerful visual effects and finishing software. It's natively supported on both macOS (with Apple silicon processors) and Linux (Rocky Linux 9.3). While both platforms offer similar functionality, there are some differences in performance, hardware requirements, and ease of administration

Flame-on-Mac is easier and more streamlined to use for the average user. It offers features like 3D compositing, machine learning image segmentation, timeline editing, camera tracking, color correction, and integrated finishing tools.

Flame on Linux is the 'heavy' User option. It allows additional features like accelerated and automated background rendering. It allows artists to keep projects moving using GPU and system resources to their fullest.

Both systems greatly benefit from additional RAM, with the Linux version scaling well above 128GB of memory with 256GB being the new recommended amount. The Mac doesn't see any exponential gains past 64GB.
