Question about using multiple StartDrawing()/Start3D()

If I use for example:
Code: Select all
Start3D()
DisplaySprite3D(#SPR_Background_Left3D,-110,0)
DisplaySprite3D(#SPR_Background_Right3D,402,0)
Stop3D()
StartDrawing(ScreenOutput())
DisplaySprite(#SPR_Orange_Circle,x,y)
StopDrawing()
Start3D()
DisplaySprite3D(#SPR_Foreground_Left3D,-110,0)
DisplaySprite3D(#SPR_Foreground_Right3D,402,0)
Stop3D()
inside of my main loop, will this hinder performance? If so, how can I use a 3D sprite functions with the standard sprite library?

DisplaySprite dont need StartDrawing!
Code: Select all
Start3D()
DisplaySprite3D(#SPR_Background_Left3D,-110,0)
DisplaySprite3D(#SPR_Background_Right3D,402,0)
Stop3D()
DisplaySprite(#SPR_Orange_Circle,x,y)
Start3D()
DisplaySprite3D(#SPR_Foreground_Left3D,-110,0)
DisplaySprite3D(#SPR_Foreground_Right3D,402,0)
Stop3D()
or better, you make a Sprite3D from #SPR_Orange_Circle
Code: Select all
Start3D()
DisplaySprite3D(#SPR_Background_Left3D,-110,0)
DisplaySprite3D(#SPR_Background_Right3D,402,0)
DisplaySprite3D(#SPR_Orange_Circle,x,y)
DisplaySprite3D(#SPR_Foreground_Left3D,-110,0)
DisplaySprite3D(#SPR_Foreground_Right3D,402,0)
Stop3D()

Doh! I am actually using functions like Box() and Circle() in place of DisplaySprite() but I can have my program turn them into a sprite. Thank you for the tip!
However, is it still bad to use multiple Start3D()/Stop3D() within my loop?

I wouldn't encourage it because it can usually be avoided. I think there's a performance hit when calling those functions multiple times in a loop.
