If what you want to do is draw this as an image like a GUI, I made a topic a while ago about making a GUI in a 3D sketch, which is like having a 2D canvas in front of the camera:

The solution I found is pretty simple, but it works really well: //IMPORTANT: make sure to use textMode(SHAPE) before using this!! Otherwise text will be drawn as black boxes. //GUI hint(DISABLE\_DEPTH\_TEST); //draws on top of whatever is drawn on screen camera(); //reset camera to default position, which conveniently lines up with the screen exactly ortho(); //orthographic projection r…

It’s relatively simple to implement, but I’m not sure how it plays with peasycam.

EDIT: A comment on the linked topic shows you how to draw a GUI using peasycam
