The release notes for version: 1.20(0) April 9th, 2008 say :
** Support for non-powers-of-two textures
I tried to upload a 600x800 photo, and it came out 512x512 like in every past version of the SL client. Does anyone have any clues about how this change works?

It's a tease, notice that the feature is indented under the user interface section.  |

Hope they never implement this. There are significant technical and performance issues associated with non power of 2 texture maps.

Well, it could be just for when you open the texture to view them. They could resize the texture on the fly so it display the original size, rather then power-of-two one that's for rendering.

After rereading, I think that applied to the new skinnable interface. Not to in world graphics.

From: Nargus Asturias Well, it could be just for when you open the texture to view them. They could resize the texture on the fly so it display the original size, rather then power-of-two one that's for rendering. You used to at least be able to resize the texture display floater to match the actual aspect ratio, but that got "fixed".  Sure would be nice for it to use the original aspect ratio by default, but let us resize/reshape it as we like. |
