Mmm... i am making crazy.

Just i have put an image with alpha channel in plane XY, and the same
image as a texture map of a polygon in another plane. TRhe result is the
image object is transparent but the polygon object (with image texture)
no!!! argg.

Do you know any example to make this ok? Am i makeing wrong anything?

Thanks anyway.
Antonio.
