3D Graphics Acceleration?

[bfranco991]

Forgive me for being naive (or dense or any other adjective) but are there plans for including 3D graphics acceleration in the next fusion iteration for Apple Silicon? My use case is in 3D CAD programs (mostly SolidWorks) and though it's bearable to run on my M1 Max MacBook, I would absolutely love to take advantage of the 32 core GPU for 3D Modeling.

You're not being dense, since 3D graphics acceleration is the most important feature all of us are anxiously awaiting.  Rumor has it that a production release of VMware Fusion 13 for macOS is imminent, and I've been checking this forum daily hoping that magic moment has finally arrived.  Without Boot Camp support and CrossOver performing miserably all we have besides UTM, which is also limited to 2D graphics, is Parallels Desktop, and I for one would love to move away from that option and switch to Fusion as soon as possible!

I've just downloaded and installed the release version of VMware Fusion 13.0 Pro but don't seem to have any 3D acceleration in my Windows 11 x64 ARM virtual machines with macOS 13 Ventura as the host (MacBook Pro M1 Max).

I tried updating VMware Tools but the installer noted that no update was needed.  Many items in the hardware device list are still missing, however, and any games I try to load crash instantly.  

Can anyone please advise on how to enable 3D graphics acceleration in the final release version of VMware Fusion 13 in Windows x64 11 ARM guest machines?

Thanks for your help

You can't. They didn't include 3D support for Windows 11 ARM. 2D only.

A major disappointment.
