How to do 3D view plus 2D user interface? Any tutorials?

[Barts_706]

I know, this is extremely newbie, but read on...


I need to make a 3d visualisation and already have a draft working under Irrlicht. But I need to add menus and user interface and I do not now how to combine it (for example how to switch between using mouse for navigation in 3d space and navigating the manus?).

So to cut it short, do you know any tutorials or sample programs that cover this problem?

The main Irrlicht tutorials do not cover this combination, but maybe you know others or have done this before and could share some advice?

Thanks in advance.

Take a look at MESHVIEWER sample.

Check the API, there are several IirrGUI classes.

Change the camera mode by pressing a button,from FPS to Maya!
Then you can work on your user interface!

You're right, I feel so lame...

But still, I have gone through tutorials (in a sense of looking what's inside and running them) before posting, so it just goes to show that I am retarded.

Thanks for the answers.
