    I renders fine on my 2015 Macbook Pro.

    I know performance is terrible (I haven't tried really hard to improve it yet). I'm just looking for a hint on what could be causes the specific glitches I'm seeing.

    Try switching Unity to Edit/Projects Settings/Player/Graphics API for Mac/Metal.

    Hit or Miss?:confused:

    The checkbox for "Auto Graphics API for Mac" was checked. When I unchecked it, it shows me, in order:
    - Metal
    - OpenGLCore
    Since Metal only appeared in 2014, are you saying support might be wonky on this 2011 Macbook Air? It is running High Sierra.

    Perhaps if I rearrange the order of these things, it will fix it. I'll give that a shot
