Hi Vic, thanks for your interest in Lumion.
1) Lumion will run significantly faster if you install Windows on your Mac via Bootcamp as VM is known to cause artifacts when rendering videos and still images. That being said, most Macs unfortunately haven't got fast graphics cards, so you may be forced to buy a PC after all (see the minimum system requirements
here). Which Mac have you got (product name and manufacturing year)?
2) We offer two educational versions that correspond to the commercial versions of
Lumion and
Lumion Pro. There's more information on
this page.
Lumion Educational Pro renders a small line of text in the top left corner in videos and on still images to make people aware of the fact that this version may not be used for commercial purposes.
Lumion Educational Free has a similar watermark but also includes the Lumion logo in the top left corner. None of the watermarks are particularly intrusive though.
Let us know if you've got any other questions.
