Wouldn't including a default transparent texture with the game download minimize the lag caused by downloading it each time you encounter an unrezzed item???

I think it's ugly (the new texture - not the shoes, although they do look well painful!). The old one made everything look like it was condensing out of mist - I liked that.

well, it may take some time to get used to. What really roasts my polygons is the fact that alpha textures now go completely opage when you hit ctrl alt t.
I just feel like the old cloudy texture was more subtle and less jarring. Though it'll be nice not to bang into walls when the wont load. And now a lovely picture of the sky and my store. _____________________

It has a bit of a Star Trek Holodeck look to it. If it helps to keep folks from running into unrezzed walls, I'm all for it.

I feel the same as Salazar... or even the movie TRON, from which the term "rez" is derived.

Hmm, I haven't seen it inworld but from the pics it looks like we took an aesthetic hit for a usability gain.

I dunno, personally I like that you can now see the geometry of a build before its textures load. Much, much easier to get through otherwise-cloudy, lagged builds. |

One thing this may prevent is being able to see inside buildings and such? That way people are forced to see the outside first... which is how it should be.
Just a thought... |

Hahaha... I may just call ya Bond "Tron" Harrington! Yeah, I noticed I wasn't the only one who thought Tron. I've got a little Tron on the brain since seeing the character designs for the new Kingdom Hearts game, which includes Tron and Sark, as well as Tron-styled Goofy and Donald. |
