No, I am not working on an other implementation.
I have expressed that it would be very nice if the direct OpenGL calls could
be put into the scenegraph. There is not wasted work here. The old code needs
to be cleaned up anyway. I doubt that this should be implemented from scratch
in one pass. I would more favour an incremental change, may be on top of what
you have now.
I have also told you that relying *entirely* on RenderTexture is not a good
idea. Just because it does not work on *many* OpenGL cards.
If you have either some code that prerenders the hud there is no big
conceptiual difference if you either render that to a texture and pin that
texture onto a surface. Or if you set up some clipping planes and an
aprioriate transformation matrix and render the lines directly into the
framebuffer.
Melchior, calm down a bit ...
