# visualEffect3D(_:)

Applies effects to this view, while providing access to layout information through a 3D geometry proxy.

## Declaration

```swift
nonisolated func visualEffect3D(_ effect: @escaping @Sendable (EmptyVisualEffect, GeometryProxy3D) -> some VisualEffect) -> some View

```

## Parameters

- `effect`: A closure that returns the effect to be applied. The first argument provided to the closure is a placeholder representing this view. The second argument is a GeometryProxy3D.

## Return Value

Return Value A view with the effect applied.

## Discussion

Discussion You return new effects by calling functions on the first argument provided to the effect closure. In this example, ContentView is offset in Z by its own depth, causing its back face to appear where the front face of the view was originally located: ContentView()     .visualEffect3D { content, geometryProxy in         content.offset(z: geometryProxy.size.depth)     }
