Hi Guys, how to set a level of transparency gradually ?

Assuming you're using a shader and have parameters set as below, decrease the vertex color alpha over time.
AlphaBlendEnable = true;// alpha blendingSrcBlend = SrcAlpha;DestBlend = InvSrcAlpha; ZWriteEnable = false;

but how decrease the color of the vertex ?
For instance linear (pseuso code):
color.a = color.a * max(0, (1 - time / duration));

For instance linear (pseuso code):Where time is the particle's current lifetime (a variable) and duration is the time needed to fully fade out the particle (a constant).color.a = color.a * max(0, (1 - time / duration));
but how i access the color of the vertex ?
(pseuso code):
ID3DXMesh* mesh; loadXFile(&mesh, "xFile.x"); ........ //configure alpha ........ g_pDevice->setTexture(0, text); // how mesh->getColor ?? mesh->DrawSubset(0);or
struct VERTEX{ enum { FVF = D3DFVF_XYZ | D3DFVF_TEX1 }; //D3DFVF_DIFFUSE float px, py, pz; float tu, tv;};//create the vertexVERTEX vtxBillBoard[4] = { { -1, 0, 0, 0, 1 }, { -1, 4, 0, 0, 0 }, { 1, 0, 0, 1, 1 }, { 1, 4, 0, 1, 0 }};g_pd3dDevice->DrawPrimitiveUP( D3DPT_TRIANGLESTRIP, 2, vtxBillBoard, sizeof(VERTEX) );
Try something like this:

hi, thank, worked, but only changing the color and not the alpha:
for(int i=0; i < 4 ; i++)
{
vtxBillBoard.colour = D3DCOLOR_ARGB(100, rand()%256, rand()%256, rand()%256);
}
why ?

Look at your code: You're using ARGB and setting .a (alpha) parameter to 100. This means that alpha value will be constant.
Every frame, try changing .a parameter. Like one guy suggested:
for(int i=0; i < 4 ; i++){DWORD a = 255 * max (0, time / duration);vtxBillBoard.colour = D3DCOLOR_ARGB(a, rand()%256, rand()%256, rand()%256);}

sure, I understood, is working perfectly,
but if I change just the alpha does not work, I have to change the color too, regardless if I change the alpha value.
but how I do it in a mesh? (.x File)
Quote:is working perfectly, but if I change just the alpha does not work..
Then it's not doing what you asked about in your original post. The effects you posted pictures for are done by changing the alpha.
Are you trying to get an object that you are drawing to fade into the background?
Do you have alpha blending enabled? Do you have the source and destination blend factors set as mentioned above?
You should post your code for rendering the object.
