I have a 3d scene drawn out in Opengl, the camera is allowed to pan around the scene. How do I go about adding 2d shapes to the window that will be unaffected by the camera moving?

Generally this is done by drawing in two steps. Assuming that you would like the 2D shapes to always be “on top” of scene like a GUI, I would render your 3D scene, then use glOrtho2D and draw your shapes. You’ll probably want to also disable depth testing. Be sure to set back up for your 3D each frame.
