hello everyone !
Is it possible to create a login form with the 3d engine without using CEgui?

I would like to create my own interface for my game, without using CEGui.

Hello, i think you can create it with sprite, using like a canvas.

It's possible, but I'm short on time at the moment, so not going to provide an example right now. (maybe later) There was some foreshadowing, that something is in the kitchen though. Just wait a little longer until it is cooked properly

look forward to the next version of PB
It should bring a new sprite-based UI (so 3D compatible)

If you want to make your own UI library (WARNING!!! this is extremely addictive) I would suggest looking over the IMGUI source code to get a feel of how event handling would work.
Generally you would want to render your windows/ui components into a single sprite (similar to batching) and only recreate the sprite when a change has occurred(such as a blinking cursor, or the user has hovered over a button) to minimize the amount of draw calls from the cpu to the gpu.

Good luck if you do this, it's extremely fun and you probably won't get much work done for a while.
