I have looked at some questions posted here on the matter and still cant work out why my 2d HUD appears but makes my 3d Rendered world disappear.
EDIT: It seems that the 2d scene is taking control of the entire screen so every now and then I can see the 3d scene glitching through the 2d scene. So even though I its only ment to be rendering a quad thats 10 x 10 pixels it renders this then blanks out the rest of the screen.
glMatrixMode(GL_PROJECTION);
glLoadIdentity();
gluPerspective(40.0,(GLdouble)x/(GLdouble)y,0.5,20.0);
glMatrixMode(GL_MODELVIEW);
glViewport(0,0,x,y);
glClear(GL_COLOR_BUFFER_BIT);
glLoadIdentity();
glTranslatef(0.0,-0.5,-6.0);
glPushMatrix();
..Draw some 3d stuff...
glPopMatrix();
// Start 2d
glMatrixMode(GL_PROJECTION);
glLoadIdentity();
glOrtho(0, SCREEN_WIDTH, SCREEN_HEIGHT, 0, -1, 1);
glMatrixMode(GL_MODELVIEW);
glLoadIdentity();
glColor3f(0.0f, 255.0f, 1.0f);
glBegin(GL_QUADS);
glVertex2f(0.0, 0.0);
glVertex2f(10.0, 0.0);
glVertex2f(10.0, 10.0);
glVertex2f(0.0, 10.0);
glEnd();
Then I swap buffers
Here is the order of my code. Its like it makes the 3d space then makes the 2d space which in turn cancels out the 3d space.
