Maybe I shold put this in Blitz3D. I need some help drawing flat/pixel in 3d mode... no 3d objects if not necessary .. i'm doing 3d just for the hardware alpha, and am going to make a pixelized GUI...

balpoint will be back btter and stronger because of this terible host. I will be glad to get rid of them. www.iamyourhost.com is where balpoint will end up soon...

well,darklordz, it's way more than I need to see a finished GUI. I just need to know how to do 2D drawing ops in 3D mode...

Your main loop should look something like this:

repeat

   ;do 3d stuff

   updateworld
   renderworld

   ;draw 2d stuff

   flip

until keyhit(1)


Its easy.

thax, that's important stuff I learned there, but the 2d stuff section cannot include alpha-channel images? That must be sprites or planes or something?
