I’m wondering if the orthographic camera is broken.  
I used the settings found here:

I just don’t see anything appearing. Could someone confirm?

interesting. indeed the example doesn’t work for me until I changed the code like (I added movement too)

```javascript
function setup(){
  createCanvas(500,500,WEBGL);
  ortho(-width, width, height, -height/2, 0.01, 1000);
}
function draw(){
  box(30);
  translate(100,100,-100);
  rotate(millis()*0.01, [1,1,0]);
  box(30);
}

```

so something is wrong with the clipping planes it seems. could you open an issue on [github](https://github.com/processing/p5.js/issues) and link to this thread so other contributors can take a look? thanks!
