Got some 3d shapes but now i need a 2d hud to go with them seems no matter what i try the hud doesnt display ever could some one have a quick look through the code and tell me whats up plz, I searched around the forums tried nearly everything but nothin works for me Just wanted a draw3d function and a draw2d function as simple as possible so i can understand it. thx for any help(how do i post in pritty white boxes :D) void Render_2D() { glDisable(GL_DEPTH_TEST); glClear(GL_DEPTH_BUFFER_BIT) ; glDisable(GL_LIGHTING); glDisable(GL_LIGHT0); glDisable(GL_DEPTH_TEST); glDepthMask(GL_FALSE); glViewport(0,0,wind_Width,wind_Height); glMatrixMode(GL_PROJECTION); glPushMatrix(); //save old projection matrix glLoadIdentity(); glOrtho(0, wind_Width, 0, wind_Height, 1, -1); glMatrixMode(GL_MODELVIEW); glLoadIdentity(); //draw ne thing 2d here glBegin(GL_QUADS); glColor3f(0,0,1); glVertex3f(-200.0f,-200.0f, -0.5); glVertex3f(-200.0f,-100.0f, -0.5); glVertex3f(200.0f,-100.0f, -0.5); glVertex3f(200.0f,-200.0f, -0.5); glEnd(); glMatrixMode(GL_PROJECTION); glPopMatrix(); glMatrixMode(GL_MODELVIEW); glDepthMask(GL_TRUE); glEnable(GL_DEPTH_TEST); } void Render_3D() { int i = 0; glPushMatrix(); glMatrixMode (GL_PROJECTION); glLoadIdentity (); gluPerspective(madcam.fov,wind_Width/wind_Height,madcam.planes[0],madcam.planes[1]); glMatrixMode(GL_MODELVIEW); glLoadIdentity(); //view transform glRotatef(-madcam.inc, 1, 0, 0); glRotatef(madcam.head, 0, 1, 0); glTranslatef(-madcam.interest[0],-madcam.interest[1],-madcam.interest[2]); glPushMatrix(); //Draw 3d stuff glPopMatrix(); glPopMatrix(); } void DisplayCallback(void) { glEnable(GL_DEPTH_TEST); glClear(GL_COLOR_BUFFER_BIT | GL_DEPTH_BUFFER_BIT); glEnable(GL_COLOR_MATERIAL); glMatrixMode(GL_MODELVIEW); glLoadIdentity(); draw3d(); draw2d(); } Thx for any help sorry for giant post, }

sorry im not to sure what you mean the window is 400 by 400 so i thought that would be ok
glVertex3f(-200.0f,-200.0f, -0.5);
glVertex3f(-200.0f,-100.0f, -0.5);
glVertex3f(200.0f,-100.0f, -0.5);
glVertex3f(200.0f,-200.0f, -0.5);

plz explain.

i get my 3d stuff but anything 2d never appears

try using:

glMatrixMode(GL_PROJECTION);
glPushMatrix();
glLoadIdentity();
glOrtho(0,640,0,480,-1,1);
glMatrixMode(GL_MODELVIEW);
glPushMatrix();
glLoadIdentity();

glDisable(GL_BLEND);
...

glBegin( GL_QUADS );

glColor3f( 1.0f, 1.0f, 1.0f );
glVertex3f( 0.0f, 235.0f, -0.5f );
glVertex3f( 640.0f, 235.0f, -0.5f );
...

glMatrixMode(GL_PROJECTION);
glPopMatrix();
glMatrixMode(GL_MODELVIEW);
glPopMatrix();


glViewport is going to be setup only once (or on window resizes)
