MATBUG-353 Under Advanced Lighting, As transparency/alpha ramps towards 100%, it begins to brighten, then finally fade. This causes a "halo" effect and "self glow" on alpha objects below around 60% transparency, in addition to an alpha/nonalpha mismatch MATBUG-213 Alpha lighting difference back (once again!) in Project Materials 3.6.1 (277673) VWR-16972 In Viewer 2.0, with Deferred Pipeline/New Lighting enabled, alpha texture lighting does not match non-alpha lighting.
