Mixing 3D and 2D in one scene? So let's say I have a 3D scene going in GX; so far so good. Now, I want to draw 2D graphics on the screen on top of this. Say a HUD of some sort, a Lives Left indicator, doesn't matter what. So what's the best way (or any way, for that matter) to do this? The only solution that comes to mind for me is allocating an extra framebuffer for GX, then using that as a texture in the ortho view. Or switching to ortho view halfway through drawing (is this possible?). Anyway, I'd just like to know how this should be done. Also, if mixing it with libwiisprite is possible that would be nice too.http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?11,1255,1255#msg-1255Thu, 23 Apr 2026 04:22:06 +0200 Phorum 5.2.23 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?11,1255,4350#msg-4350 Re: Mixing 3D and 2D in one scene?http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?11,1255,4350#msg-4350
In my library:
/**
* Set the 2D projection here and draw the 2d objects on it
*/
rs->setDepthTest(false);

rs->setMatrixMode(MATRIXMODE_PROJECTION);
rs->pushMatrix();
rs->identityMatrix();
rs->setOrthographic(0, rs->getScreenWidth(), 0, rs->getScreenHeight(), -1, 1);

rs->setMatrixMode(MATRIXMODE_MODELVIEW);
rs->pushMatrix();
rs->identityMatrix();

for (std::list::const_iterator dit = m2DObjects.begin(); dit != m2DObjects.end(); ++dit)
{
drawable2D* obj = (*dit);
assert(obj != NULL);

obj->draw();
}

anyone kind enough to point me to the right way?]]> gcbzzzz CodingSat, 29 Nov 2008 21:06:43 +0100 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?11,1255,1551#msg-1551 Re: Mixing 3D and 2D in one scene?http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?11,1255,1551#msg-1551 AerialX CodingWed, 03 Sep 2008 02:58:26 +0200 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?11,1255,1518#msg-1518 Re: Mixing 3D and 2D in one scene?http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?11,1255,1518#msg-1518 Eluan CodingTue, 02 Sep 2008 12:39:39 +0200 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?11,1255,1255#msg-1255 Mixing 3D and 2D in one scene?http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?11,1255,1255#msg-1255
