Hi all, This might really be a simple question, but I have no idea how to draw a HUD in my games. What do you use, how do you do it (using C++)? I thought about some ways to do it. First one is by using some GDI functions and drawing bitmaps above the DirectX layer. But then, my HUD wouldn't be dynamic, as it might need to be updated every frame or so. The second way is to draw a quad with DirectX and stick it in front of the camera. So, isn't this going to create trouble when I spin the camera? Again, how do I update it? Lol, too many questions here, can anyone help, please? =\ Thanks...

You should put your sprites in screen space. If you use ID3DXSprite, and I believe you do, it does that by default. So, all you have to do is load texture and call ID3DXSprite::Draw() with screen coordinates and texure you want to place on screen.

Hmm... I will try that, thanks a lot for both replies... :D
