[osg-users] Drawing a partially transparent image in a quad

[L. Voerman]

Hi  José,
Please keep in mind that you did not provide any info at all what your
program is , (or OS os graphics hardware), nor what you are trying to do.
osg also has a few examples, some of those actually do render transparent
textures.
Another blind guess:
could you have a shader active (shaderGen?).
Laurens.
