First i tryed fog. But even with it turned all the way up so that I could not see any thing, there was no effect on FPS.

Is there any code/script that keeps U3D from drawing any thing past a certain point? I will use fog to cover the effect so people cant tell.

It should make the FPS go WAY up.

Correct. Fog won't help you much, it's just a way to cover up the ugliness of what the camera renders at the horizon at the max_range distance.

There are a lot of topics about performance boosting, but just because I'm curious what is your trianglecount ingame?
p.s. Dont use primitives combined with gamemaker objects and sprites to rape make your game. Use a model/level editor of some sort.

and also cut the amount of meshes up. u3d's culling engine doesn't draw a mesh if it is not in view,

model = one big ass mesh = have to draw whole thing

model = heaps of smaller meshes = has the ability to draw smaller parts of the model

Also dont use too much textures, One big file is better with textures as a whole lot of small ones.

agreed because it only has to access that one texture instead of heaps of others, but it does strain a few types of cards, due to their limits on texture sizes.
