Running C4d 10 for windows on a mac, using Parallels? Will this work?
Would I be able to run Cinema 4d 10 (windows version) on a mac, If I use Parallels? I know boot camp will work right, but thats not out yet? But Parallels is pretty cheap, so I might use this, does anyone know if Cinema 4d Software is compatable, or the workflow on Parallels? Would I be able to import the finished products back to my mac to use?

Boot Camp is out (been out for a long time – free download) it will be included with Leopard when it’s out. Don’t know about Parallels haven’t used it yet but it sounds like C4D would run but not do well in display (no Apple native drivers like Boot Camp) unless you let Parallels use your Boot Camp install then it does get the drivers from Boot Camp (if I understand the stuff I’ve read correctly).

Parallels nor any VM offers Video Hardware Acceleration. Thus, performance would be horrible. Stick with Boot Camp. Parallels is good for Office Productivity apps.

Does bootcamp offer hardware acceleration? Parallels does not is that correct? Only bootcamp offers this?

Boot Camp does have hardware accelleration since it’s Apple’s they provide drivers for the hardware. You have to make a driver CD (there’s a tool provided for that) which you install during the initial Windows install.
