Hi,

What you mean of head up ?????????

[narayan0]

what i mean is how do you draw an object that moves as you move around the screen.
an example would be the speedometer on a car in a car racing game, or the health of a player.

Draw your normal 3d-scene first, then switch to Orthomode and draw your HUD as an overlay in this ortho-mode.
