How to create a screen with both P2D and P3D ?

Hi ! I am working on a hobby project where I need to load a 3D model to one half of the screen and the other half should have a picture on top with few buttons below. I like to know how to use P2D and P3D together ?

I don't think you can do that in the way you describe. But look up peasycam and it's HUD method for an example of this kind of thing.

yes library peasyCam with beginHUD ... picture with buttons ... endHUD

you'll see the model always a bit from the side though; maybe PGraphics would be a work around

@Rajashekhar_V_S:

Here are three methods to create a mixed 2D / 3D surface in Processing:

1. Create a P3D sketch and use peasyCam + beginHUD()
2. Create a P2D sketch and layer a P3D PGraphics on it
3. Create a P3D sketch and use hint(DISABLE_DEPTH_TEST)

You probably want approach 2 or 3.
