Heads Up Display
Post: #1
This is my first "3d" game, so I apologize for all the questions in an absurdly quick succession.
Anyways, I have the 3d engine somewhat set up, but now I want to draw a bunch of stuff on top to indicate various player status information.
What I'm thinking is:
...
//draw the 3d environment
...
//draw on top of all that
glDisable(GL_DEPTH_TEST);
glOrtho2d(0,800,0,600);
..
then start drawing. The reason I'm asking is I'm going to implement it tomorrow and would rather avoid any unnecessary bugs. Does this seem like a good method? Do I need to "LoadIdentity" on the "Modelview" matrix before I call glOrtho2d?

Post: #2Code:
draw3DStuff();
glDisable(GL_DEPTH_TEST);
glMatrixMode(GL_PROJECTION);
glPushMatrix();
glLoadIdentity();
gluOrtho2D(0.0, 800.0, 0.0, 600.0);
glMatrixMode(GL_MODELVIEW);
glPushMatrix();
glLoadIdentity();
draw2DStuff();
glPopMatrix();
glMatrixMode(GL_PROJECTION);
glPopMatrix();
glMatrixMode(GL_MODELVIEW);
