Look in the Code Archives/3D - Graphics for Pixies by skidracer. This is a good start for using sprites for 2D overlays. This specific example replaces the mouse cursor with an image. In my experience, using sprites and parenting them to the camera (to simulate a 2D HUD, for example) is much faster than using the 2D commands over the 3D world.
