Opengl: 2d HUD over 3D

by

Took a little while to figure it out, so just in case others have the same issues:

    ...After Drawing 3d Stuff...

glMatrixMode(GL_PROJECTION);
glPushMatrix();
glLoadIdentity();
glOrtho(0.0, SCREEN_WIDTH, SCREEN_HEIGHT, 0.0, -1.0, 10.0);
glMatrixMode(GL_MODELVIEW);
//glPushMatrix();        ----Not sure if I need this
glLoadIdentity();
glDisable(GL_CULL_FACE);

glClear(GL_DEPTH_BUFFER_BIT);

glBegin(GL_QUADS);
    glColor3f(1.0f, 0.0f, 0.0);
    glVertex2f(0.0, 0.0);
    glVertex2f(10.0, 0.0);
    glVertex2f(10.0, 10.0);
    glVertex2f(0.0, 10.0);
glEnd();

// Making sure we can render 3d again
glMatrixMode(GL_PROJECTION);
glPopMatrix();
glMatrixMode(GL_MODELVIEW);
//glPopMatrix();        ----and this?

...Then swap buffers...
