Hey there! I have programmed an P3D Simulation and need to display some objects in the size I have initialized them so they appear to stay the same size even if I move my camera away from them. I think there is somewhere a hint() for that but I can not find it. It would be great if you could help me!

Sounds like you mean a orthogonal (orthographic) projection?  
[Ortho()](https://processing.org/reference/ortho_.html)

But that will affect how everything looks, not just some objects.

In Peasycam look at beginHUD()

Thank you raron and Chrisir for your reply!  
Sadly `ortho()` isn’t working in my sketch because every rotation of my camera gets ignored and a everything else is based on this rotation.  
And the `hint(DISABLE_DEPTH_TEST)` is the basis of my UI and does not work with the objects.

I’ve solved the problem by scaling the objects with `scale()` depending on the distance between camera and object. So this problem is solved. 😄
