Render model in non perspective mode
Author
this might be simple but how do i setup a non perspective viewing
where i can draw a 3d model but without the perspective
like in blender where you choose Orthographic
i tried to draw the x,y (z = depth) coordinates of my model in 2d view but didnt succeed
is this the correct way or am i wrong?
thanks

glOrtho(left,right,top,bottom,znear,zfar)
gluOrtho2D(left,right,top,bottom)
but is that enough
shall i use
glVertex2d to diaply my 3d model?
will lightning work?

Notice please that projection is a mapping from a 3 dimensional space to a 2 dimensional space (in the case of 3D gfx; mathematically it is a general mapping from a space to a space of less dimensions). So in both cases you use glVertex3/glNormal3 routines to supply the 3D geometric scene data to GL as usual. (glVertex2 routines are more common for UI elements and such, since it implies a depth of 0.)
Notice furthur that gluOrtho2D may be not exactly what you are looking for since it restricts the depth range in a fixed way. Stay with glOrtho in general.
