The bitmaps in InitGLImage are special 16bit bitmaps and can be only filled with SetPixel/GetPixel and some other few functions. Here a working example that fills the alpha channel of the bitmap. You have to make sure that it exists, otherwise you have to create one of your own.

Hello Matthias,
thanks for this but is exactly what i done the first time..
but what i need is to Call:RenderDocument before fill this 16bit bitmap.
so inside the InitGLImage i need to call renderdocument.. and get back the ALPHA.
thanks for now

Please remember to set the PLUGINFLAG_MATERIAL_GLIMAGE flag in the RegisterMaterialPlugin() function.

Here is working good.. except that alpha is stored in a Unknown place.

Hello Matthias,
i mean that i can't get the alpha channel from the bitmap passed in the renderdocumennt.
The RGB is correct and transferred to the 16bit image with setpixel, like you wrote... but nothing about alpha.
cheers

Hello Matthias,
No, i can't get the Alpha.. If i provide a BMP + Alpha to renderdocument.. the alpha is always empty.. this is my problem.
thanks

What does the document you send to RenderDocument()look like, just a plane with texture? Maybe you can provide a scene.

Youhave to use a MultipassBitmap to access the Alpha of RenderDocument().
Here a working InitGLImage() function:
