Best way to overlay large 2D on 3D

Blitz3D Forums/Blitz3D Programming/Best way to overlay large 2D on 3D

Hello,

I wonder if anyones has got any suggestions on how to best overlay graphics (in this case a title logo) that is larger than 256 pixels wide transparent over 3D in a way that allows older 3D cards only supporting 256 pixel width textures.

I am already using FONText for overlaying fonts which look great, but FONText doesn't appear to support Alpha transparency for the bitmap image overlays, and I need a compatible way to do this for an image say 500-600 pixels wide. Do I split it up to two textures and try to align it?

Curious to find out how others have solved this issue, preferably looking good in a range of resolutions =)
