Character Creation screens

#1

I want to put together a character creation screen, similar to WoW or others. Most screens have a box (transparent usually) with buttons to change race/facial aspects/ect…Does anyone know what these boxes are called? They seem like an overlay of somekind.

thanks

Well, unless i misunderstood you (i reckon you are refering to those menus, where you can see your character drawn in 3d and configure his appearance using some sliders or buttons), then the overlays are just 2d surfaces drawn over 3d drawn enviroment (or above 2d surface), its something that is bundled in one package as of the release of DirectX 8.0

So in short, you were right, those “boxes” are called overlays (or layers)

i hope this helps, if not, blame that monkey next to me :wink:

have fun
