Steps To Reproduce

• The problem can be seen on any object using specular textures or a medium or high legacy shine.

• The strength of the effect depends on how much light there is in the scene.

• Steps below are a very simple repro that shows the effect easily.

• On an EEP viewer, set environment to midday.

• Rez a default cube and set it to have medium legacy shine.

• Rez another default cube & add the "blank" specular texture & leave glossiness & environment settings on default.

• Observe the top faces of the cubes where the sunlight hits.

• Compare behaviour on a legacy viewer.

  Observed Behaviour

• Since the latest EEP-RC update, all specular textures & objects with legacy shine set to medium or high are blown out to a bright white glow.

• Fig 1 attached shows a default cube with blank specular texture on the left & a default cube with legacy medium shine on the right.
  Sun is set to default midday.

• Fig 2 attached shows expected behaviour on default LL release 6.1.1.525446 (64bit)

• Fig3 attached shows a comparison of some plants made by Cubes Republic on the legacy viewer & EEP.
  The plants are supposed to have a very low specular effect as seen on the left but on the EEP viewer they appear with a plastic look & some plants look almost metalic.
  The plants are rezzed at this location for testing: http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/By%20Design1/73/103/22
  (Note to self: CR Cordyline Terminalis - Pink 1 in inventory)

• Also look at the plane rezzed at this location, which has blown out specularity on EEP as shown in Fig 4 attached,

  Expected Behaviour

  Legacy shine & specular shouldn't burn out your retinas on EPP viewers.
