Also, get credited for your workĪnything others need to know, e.g. This will make it easier to figure out who to ask if other people have questions about setup. As of Fusion 2.0, much of our internal testing is with the nVidia 8800 GT and ATI HD 2600, as we've found those have the best (i.e. mini, MacBook) don't completely support OpenGL 1.4, which is necessary for proper guest 3D acceleration. Readers should keep in mind that Macs with integrated graphics (i.e. nVidia GeForce 7300 GT, ATI Radeon X1900 XT, etc.).
Mac Pro, iMac, etc.) and graphics card (e.g. Try to keep the list sorted by this value, newest version at the top. Unless you say otherwise in the notes, it is assumed the installed version of VMware Tools matches the build number. This information can be found under VMware Fusion > About VMware Fusion. Which version of Fusion you tried this with for example, 215242 for 3.0.1. What Guest OS you are using, and what version of the OS. Which application you tested, and what version of the application.
If you previously used Fusion 1.x, remember to upgrade the virtual hardware if you haven't done so.Īs of version 3.0, VMware Fusion offers experimental support for DirectX 9.0c with Shader Model 3 and OpenGL (2.1 when using the XPDM driver, 1.4 when using the WDDM driver). Check the "Accelerate 3D graphics" option. To enable 3D acceleration, shut down (suspend doesn't count) the virtual machine and go to Virtual Machine > Settings > System Hardware > Display. This list does not guarantee that a particular application will work for you, and does not imply support from VMware. Please try to keep your results up to date with the most recent build you probably want to remove your own outdated entries to keep this document reasonably short. You can edit the document by selecting "Edit document" under Actions in the left sidebar.
Feel free to add your findings to the document, but keep questions in the comments. If you need to get ahold of a rotating text quickly, this might be the solution.This is a list of 3D applications (probably mostly games) that people have found to work with Fusion. It's fairly easy to use and it is a pity so little customization options are available. In conclusionĪll in all, Insofta 3D Text commander wants to achieve greatness with only a little effort. Aside from rotation, which can be clockwise or counterclockwise, only size and number of frames per second can be specified, leaving you with shallow animation customization options. Only after hitting that button will a small window giving you the possibility to modify only a few aspects.Īnimation type only means rotation and can either be applied to the text itself, or the camera, with barely any noticeable difference. Navigating through the file menu leaves you wondering where animation options are, because sooner or later you come across the “Save Animation” option. You have to be creative from the start, as the application has no default presets from which you can choose. However, there is no possibility to set an image, which is a shame considering the possibility exists for editing text.įurther navigating through the editing tools lets you set the camera position, lights and shadows, with the possibility to save configurations as presets you can use on other projects. Firstly, text specific customization options are available, and you are able to change font and color, or use a picture from your computer as texture.Ī few background options are found here, in the sense that a color can be attributed or made transparent. The main window of the application represents your workspace, and all necessary tools to work with are found in different tabs. This is where Insofta 3D Text Commander comes to offer aid in creating 3D animated text which you can use to enhance presentations or various web projects.
