Description

« Hide

Original summary: Alpha turns non-alpha at a distance and doesn't turn back gracefully until really close to item.

Cam far away from an item with alpha, it will not be alpha anymore, cam closely and slowly, it will turn back alpha but most often it waits until your cam is almost right up on the object. Image attached to better clarify.

[ Weird, Kesseret Steeplechase reported this but her name is invisible to me as Reporter here. Thanks for observing this...

This change was actually intentional ( http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/User:Torley_Linden/Project_updates#.5B2007-12-13.5D_.5BWINDLIGHT.5D_Alpha_textures_becoming_opaque_at_a_distance ) but I'll compile these issues and import for Team WindLight to check out! ]
