hey man I did it .
look the example particle
cor is the float that is variable of alpha to me , but can be r g or b
and using the code in the principal loop:
initial_color = osg::Vec4(R, G, B, cor);
final_color = osg::Vec4(fR, fG, fB, 0.0);
smokeParticle->setColorRange(osgParticle::rangev4(initial_color,final_color
) );
psa->setDefaultParticleTemplate(*smokeParticle);
