Whoa ... this is good news indeed. I wonder if it will placate all the people who use the invisibility prim glitch, which doesn't work in the current preview anymore :)
Not me...

But it'll be real nice for architecture and natural builds. You can get some REALLY interesting effects from planar mapping on spheres and tori after you flatten X...

What that means is it's only any good for flat or nearly flat things (sides of cubes, ends of cylinders, cut face of a sphere, etc.). This is mostly because things that aren't flat change which plane they lie on from one point to the next, making a severe warping effect (apply planar generation to a sphere, and you'll see what I mean).
What are you talking about? Planar on a sphere rocks! :)

Would this be as in when a cube side is reduced it creates a diagonal seam that distorts an applied texture? And now it doesn't?

[EDIT: Just tested. The diagonal seam is gone. Outstanding.]

I'll have to play with it, but if this is so... yay!

Ok, cool to see people finally noticed it!


We probably would have seen it earlier if it was in the release notes.
