## What it is
DXMT is a Metal-based translation layer implementing Direct3D 10 and 11 APIs on macOS, designed to work with Wine (and CrossOver). It lets Windows 3D applications and games run on macOS by translating D3D calls to Apple's Metal API.

## Use cases
- run direct3d 11 games on macos
- play windows games on mac using wine
- translate d3d11 to metal
- use d3d10 apps in crossover on mac
- gaming compatibility layer for macOS

## When to choose
- you want to run D3D10/D3D11 Windows games on Apple Silicon or Intel Macs via Wine/CrossOver
- you need a Metal-backed alternative to DXVK on macOS

## When to avoid
- you need D3D12 or Vulkan support
- you are targeting Linux or Windows natively
- your app relies on D3D9 or older APIs

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: active
- function: graphics, game-engine
- domain: gaming-tools, graphics
- platform: cross-platform
- tags: d3d11, d3d10, metal, wine, translation-layer, gaming, crossover, macos-translation, macos
