I've been researching this for hours and nothing I try works. The image
used for the texture has an alpha channel, but it is displayed as black
instead of transparent. I'm starting to think that the line:

Gl.TexImage2D(t1)

isn't passing the presence of an alpha channel to OpenGL, but that's
just a guess. Normally you specify the image format there, but those
parameters aren't supported yet in the gb3 implementation.

The project is attached. You can move the little wizard around with the
ASDW keys and rotate with the QE keys. Any help appreciated...I'm going
crazy and am calling it quits for the night
This is what i do in the sdl component to get alpha blending:

glEnable(GL_BLEND);
glBlendFunc(GL_SRC_ALPHA, GL_ONE_MINUS_SRC_ALPHA);

So it should be in gambas3 code:

Gl.Enable(Gl.GL_BLEND)
Gl.BlendFunc(Gl.GL_SRC_ALPHA, Gl.GL_ONE_MINUS_SRC_ALPHA)

Hi Laurent. That's the same conclusion I came to from my research, however it doesn't make any difference. I can set the alpha level of the entire texture, but the texture won't use the alpha channel of the original image. The attached project shows clearly what is happening. The light-blue background should show around the wizard, not a black square. Could it have something to do with the texture being rendered at a z depth or 0? Maybe it needs another texture behind it and not just a colored background. I'm using an orthogonal projection matrix if that makes a difference, and depth is disabled.
