d3d_start()
From YoYoGames Wiki
The d3d_start() function initializes the 3D engine. In GM version 7.0, this function returns true when succesful.
When making games in 3D, some things are different. Normally, the room is viewed from a top view. In 3D mode, the room is viewed from the left side. You can also change the projection with d3d_set_projection.
Some of GM's features that work in 2D don't work in 3D mode:
- Particles
- Surfaces
Note that d3d_set_hidden and d3d_set_perspective are enabled by default.
Remarks
Requires a registered version of Game Maker.
