Start3D()

Syntax

Result = Start3D()

Start the 3D engine and setup it to display the 3D Sprites. This function must be called before using DisplaySprite3D() and Stop3D() must be called when all the rendering are done. If the 'Result' is 0, the initialize has failed and 3D sprites functions can't be used.

Note: Inside a Start3D() : Stop3D() block there should be no functions of the standard Sprite library (e.g. like DisplaySprite()), only functions of the Sprite3D library. The code inside the block should also be finished with a FlipBuffers().

Example:

  For a = 0 To 255 
    DisplaySprite(10, 0, 0)       ; display background image
    Start3D() 
      DisplaySprite3D(0, 0, 0, a) 
    Stop3D() 
    FlipBuffers() 
  Next
