Mix 2D and 3D


Mix 2D and 3D

Postby oliverh » Mar 6, 2010 @ 1:45pm

Hi Edgelib team!

I am new to Edgelib and can't find a solution for the following problem. I am trying to mix 2D graphics for menus and 3D graphics for the game. Pretty much like mixing the blastar and turtle example. I tried to first draw menu items (text, etc) to a background image, then upload the texture and display it using display->Perspective2D and display->BltFast which worked out but is very slow, so effects like flashing text (blastar) don't make sense. As an alternative to 2D menu text handling I tried to use the display->DrawFont in 3D but in contrast to 2D there doesn't seem to be a possibility to change text properties like color.

Thanks in advance for any advice!

Hi Edge,

thanks for your answer. Text colors now work perfectly. One more question about setting the display orientation. config->orientation = DOR_LANDSCAPE works using the edgelib renderer. Using OpenGL orientation is always PORTRAIT on the device. How can I switch in OpenGL?

Thanks,
Olli
