Mixing 2D and 3D
Dec 27th, 2008, 1:44am  
I am interested in displaying a flat, 2D interface on "top" of a 3D scene.

I am sure there is a ridiculously obvious way to do this.

Nonetheless I can't seem to figure it out.

Any ideas on this would be greatly appreciated!

Edit: I guess I should have clarified; How did you end up doing this?


There may be other ways to do this, but some methods I have made use of are
http://processing.org/reference/pushMatrix_.html

+
http://processing.org/reference/popMatrix_.html

to move things then start at the origin again.

with
http://processing.org/reference/textMode_.html

to draw text directly to screen coordinates.

and
http://processing.org/reference/hint_.html

to disable depth sorting because objects can be closer to the camera than the screen (z == 0)
