When you start working in 3D, Processing commands such as text( ) draw to a plane floating in space, rather than onto your screen. By calling camera.begin2D(), commands are drawn directly to your screen, rather than floating in space.

Example:   birds

Example Code

    
import kaleidoscope.*;
import toxi.geom.*;

Camera cam;
PFont font;

void setup(){
    size(400, 400, P3D);

    cam = new AppCamera( this );

    font = loadFont( "OratorStd-24.vlw" );
    textFont( font );
}

void draw(){
    background(140, 150, 255);
    lights();
              
    stroke(255); //Draw the origin
    line( 10000, 0, 0, -10000, 0, 0);
    line( 0, 10000, 0, 0, -10000, 0);
    line( 0, 0, 10000, 0, 0, -10000);

    cam.begin2D();
    fill( 0 );
    text("Frame Rate: " + frameRate ,  30, 30);
}
