      • Verify that a subset of the texture appears on the surface
    • Change the Horizontal and Vertical Offset
      • Verify that the texture is offset on each face
    • Enable Horizontal and Vertical Flip
      • Verify that the texture flips on each surface
    • Change the Rotation value
      • Verify that the texture rotates correctly on each surface
    • Change the Repeats Per Meter and click on Apply
      • Verify that the Repeats per Face values change accordingly
      • Change the Repeats per Face back to 1.0 and verify that the Repeats Per Meter value chaages
  • b. Face Texture Test

    • Drag test_256_256_alpha on to one of the faces on the box
      • Verify that the texture appears correctly and that you can see through it
    • Drag test_256_512 on to a different face and verify that it appears correctly
    • Drag test_512_16 on to the same face and verify that it appears correctly
      • The image should appear blurry since it is being stretched across the surface
    • Take the box created for the next test

  • b. Modifying Another Avatar Textures Test
    • Watch while another avatar repeats the above test
      • Verify that you can see changes while the other avatar is changing their appearance (There may be some delay)
      • Verify that after the other avatar finishes making changes, the baked texture appears correctly

6. Texture Priority

  • Locate an object in the distance with an unloaded or blurry texture.
    • You may need to fly to a new area or log out / log in.
