the main idea is to allow one to draw additional information after the
scene is fully done. We do not have a foreground that does something
along the lines you describe above.
Since you want your hud objects to be 3d themselves it may be simpler to
just use a second viewport of the same size (with a passive or depth
clear background) but different scene as has been suggested in the other
recent thread on fore/backgrounds.
Cheers,
Carsten
