The Metrowerks compilers, however, will work with the production release I believe. The native tool for MacOS X is Objective-C. I believe there is a C++ compiler on the developer tools distribution but I recall it's not that great....AND you don't program easily to the GUI using C++. With the addition of Maya you should have the industrial strength 3D you want.
