Relates

This issue Relates to:

~~VWR-3197~~ 32 bit textures arent anti aliased until zoomed in

~~VWR-3191~~ Atmospheric shaders messing up on ATI Radeon Xpress 1100

This issue is related to by:

~~VWR-3101~~ Alpha textures are opaque at a distance and the transition is ugly and unreliable

Description

« Hide

I am encountering an issue with a alpha'd TGA file (prim does not have transparency applied to it) were only portions of the texture is rendering. Distance is not a factor, it appears that WindLight is not rezzing this correctly.

This issue is also appearing on the Linux client.

Sounds like this might be related to the issue Im having too at https://jira.secondlife.com/browse/VWR-3197

Am curious, Xaria... Are you using the Atmospheric Shaders under the graphics setting tab? If you are, try turning them off and see what shows up... Objects that have a shine applied to them, regardless of texture in my client look rather unique, and I have seen a similar effect happen in the windows of my shop in Scott... Turning off the atmospheric shaders fixes it, though you loose a fair amount of the nice details that makes WindLight so attractive to see...

This issue was resolved as "Needs More Info" during our batch cleanup because it was set as affecting First Look: WindLight. On the Issue Tracker, we've noticed many duplicate issues and issues that lacked actionable info or were already fixed.

WindLight recently "graduated" from a "First Look" technology preview to Release Candidate status – nearing inclusion in the main viewer with your help! So, "First Look: WindLight" does not exist anymore.

More info and how to download the RC viewer: http://blog.secondlife.com/2008/03/06/new-release-candidate-viewer-1191-rc0-available/

If you've verified that this issue is still a problem in the newest Release Candidate, here's what to do next:

(1) Search the Issue Tracker to make sure it isn't a duplicate of an existing issue we know about. If it is, link it as a duplicate using the "Link this issue..." link on the left. You can learn more about searching by watching this video tutorial: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SAlXK5hSVMc

(2) Reopen the issue and BE SURE to update the "Affects Version/s" to the correct one, most likely ONLY "1.19.1 Release Candidate". However, if this bug affects the main viewer (1.19.0 as of this writing), then DO NOT set it to an RC version. Only set it to 1.19.0 instead. Be as specific with versions as possible – there's generally no need to set multiple versions, as it tends to dilute and confuse where a bug originated.

(3) Add any other relevant details that would help us fix it. We can't stress the importance of a "solid repro" enough – a reliable series of steps to make a bug happen reliably.

(4) Come and attend our inworld bug triages, where you can meet with Linden Lab employees to look at, verify, and expedite bugs for fixing. More info @ http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Bug_triage

Thank-you for helping us improve Second Life!
