It's an interesting effect but not as good as having the correct texture displayed rapidly.

The texture that shows while the real texture is waiting to appear, what used to be the gray rectangle with a white outline, has now been replace with a screenshot of the sl client window, at some recent time prior to approaching the object displaying the unloaded texture.

My earlier post described static images.
Now I have a live action, recursive, mirror in mirror, tv camera pointed at a tv camera effect. It has the pane within the pane effect, and tilts around as you pivot the viewpoint, just like a video camera pointed at a tv would. _____________________

That's what I describe (and other people confirm and can reliably duplicate) in that thread and which has already been bug-reported...

Here's a video of the live client window as a loading texture effect.
Click here to watch TV_camera_pointed_at_screen_effect SL movie makers might want to see if they can make use of the effect while it lasts. _____________________

This is fun
 Thanks for posting the video, Sue. Now I wonder if one day we'll be able to get a "special" texture that can be used for making mirrors  _____________________
