orienting hud
Author
I''m rendering a hud with a quad and was wondering if there was a simple way to orient it towards the camera and on a fixed part of the screen (without vector/matrix stuff). thx!
Just disable depth testing and reset the matrices to identity.
How appropriate. You fight like a cow.

you can always use the transformed vertex format.
struct TLVertex
{
FLOAT x, y, z, rhw;
D3DCOLOR specular, diffuse;
FLOAT tu, tv;
};
#define (D3DFVF_XYZRHW | D3DFVF_DIFFUSE | D3DFVF_SPECULAR | D3DFVF_TEX1)
Use this vertex format to render the quad in 2-d space

Take a look at the sprite class. I carve all of my hud components out of a single bitmap and make them sprites so you can use the screen coordinates to position them. You can modify the alpha channel of the bitmap to make them see-through.
