Vertex Formats and Vertex Buffers - 3D Games in GameMaker

Once you’ve got your basic 3D camera projections set up, it’s time to start rendering your own stuff to the screen. Here’s how to get started with vertex buffers! I forgot to mention this in the video itself, but vertex buffers are analogous to the old D3D models in old versions of Game Maker: you can use them in mostly the same way, but like with a number of other things, you need to do a bit of setup before you can use them.
