Hi,

I have Virtual Box version 4.2.6 r82870. I created an Win7-64bit vm image and running on my win7-64bit host. I've also enabled the Guest Addition and 3D acceleration options along with required memory and display parameters (ran dxdiag). The application I am trying to run is Altium Designer and it appears to be working/running except when I go into ED mode.

The graphics of the 3D view of the items are all in Black and missing details (figure: Board_3D_View.png). Altium software requires that host graphics card must support DirectX 9.0c and Shader model 3. My host platform has NVIDIA Quadro 5010M (Figure: GC_on_host.png) which supports the required spec. When I run the DirectX test in Altium Designer on the VM, It reports no compatibility issue (Figure: DirectX_Test.png).

I am wondering if anyone could assist on this and help finding the root cause or how to resolve the symptom.


Thanks.

Why on earth did you post this in "Third Party Applications"? Moving to "Windows Guests".

Is there any progress on Shader Model 3 support? We're interested in running an EPIC UNREAL based training simulation on VirtualBox, but SM3 is a requirement. In tests last year, it wasn't working...looks like it's still not working?

What happened to all of the Wine3D integration effort? I thought that was going to provide DirectX3D with SM3 support 4 years ago.

Thanks
