Hey, I was wondering if someone can direct me to some opengl tutorials on how to draw 2D text on top of a 3D fps background and how to load 3D objects into a 3D fps background. Kind Regards, Victor

Take a look at http://nehe.gamedev.net/, there is nice tutorials about loading and render fonts, and simple models loading.

Thanks for the reply. I was wondering in particular how do i blend 2D text into a fps background? the font tutorials just display it behind a blank background.

after you draw all the stuff in your application, do like this

glEnable2D();SomeFunctionToDrawTheText();glDisable2D();
