Are 3-D graphics and 3-D applications (DirectX) supported by VMware?

Windows can emulate Direct3D support for a device that does not support hardware acceleration, (such as VMware’s virtual SVGA adapter), but most 3-D capable graphics applications will run very slowly, or not at all, in this condition. Thus, a virtual machine that tries to run a 3-D capable graphics application in software emulation mode will run very slowly, at best.
