is it possible to split the screen up into like 3 2d portions and one 3d portion? like for a model viewer with buttons that let you select which model is in the 3d view.

Yes, I do it my the game I'm writing. In the Codebase I've got a set of functions for spliting the screen into 1-4 sections.

If only one of your screens will be 3D then you don't have to use multiple cameras. Just use the SET CAMERA VIEW to position the 3D camera window wherever you need it. 2D operations can still be drawn to the rest of the screen as normal.

Yes, cant see the image...

As mentioned, my routine is only of use if you want multiple cameras at the same time (its designed to allow up to 4 players to play at once on the same computer) - if not, just use the SET CAMERA VIEW
