For those who aren't aware of it yet, we can now make shiny transparent glass. This can be achieved using the ol' invisiprim texture but set to shiny.
For those who don't have the script to invoke the invisiprim texture, just create a script with this in it:
default
{
state_entry()
{
llSetPrimitiveParams( [ PRIM_TEXTURE, ALL_SIDES, "e97cf410-8e61-7005-ec06-629eba4cd1fb", ZERO_VECTOR, < 0.4, 0.4, 0 >, 0.0 ] ) ;
}
}
Remove the script from the prim once the texture is loaded.
Have fun.

Er, what do you mean by "now"? It has been possible to do this trick for a long time, a year at least. What got sadly axed from the 1.10 update was the possibility to set any alpha surface to shiny (with shaders activated).

Only problem with this glass is, you do get shiny, you do get transparent, but any bit of avatar mesh viewed through it vanishes.
I'll stick to no-shiny glass for now.

Oh yeah, I've noticed that yesterday around some avatars using invisiprims, the objects behind them flickered quite a bit as I moved my camera around.

Shiny transparency wasn't working for me previously.
Anyway, I've been experimenting with smaller glassy items like wristwatches and gems stuck on jewelry, which benefits from it.
And yes, the culling works because its considered a non-transparent surface.
