This will render the Appearance menu and shape modding useless - how about adding a new base mesh option for our avatars?<br /> # In deferred rendering, 8-bit alpha textures are omitted from shading and don't match up to alpha-less textures. Are their plans to eventually fix this? Alot of content depends on varied partial transparency. (VWR-16972) - [[User:Adeon Writer]]<br /> # Sigh ... Mac build?<br /> # FYI. One TPV team says they have the fix for current Mac/sculpt upload issues in the post kdu world. The fix won't be available to users right away, but it does sound promising.</div>
