Getting Started with 3D in GameMaker

***Everything in this video works exactly the same in 2.3.*** Here’s how to set up a basic 3D camera projection in Game Maker Studio 2! The main thing to take away from this is how to use a view and projection matrix. It’s actually not that different from 3D in older versions of Game Maker, but it cuts out a lot of the super high-level abstraction. This means in some ways it’s easier to use, and in some ways it’s harder to use. Hopefully people like this one better than the old one I did years ago. I’m (finally) going to do more with this in the coming weeks. Transformation matrices are going to be more useful in the future, but if you want to know about them: Here’s the code (it’s only four lines long): 0:00 Introduction 0:38 Warnings, rules, and regulations 2:00 Project setup 3:17 Creating the camera object 3:57 Camera Draw event 5:20 View matrix explanation 8:46 Projection matrix explanation 11:42 Notes about matrix transformations 12:06 Applying 3D camera settings 12:28 Running the game 14:49 Future video subjects Thumbnail icon: 3D by Adrien Coquet from the Noun Project #GameMaker3D #GameMaker3DTutorial #GameMaker3DCameras - - - - - I’ve now made that Patreon: That promised social media link spam.
