This week, Oz announced that their viewer-development-materials branch was nearing the end of its beta cycle, meaning that LL is considering that the materials viewer is almost ready for release... quite a bit too optimistic, in my opinion...
Anyway, it is time for people interested in having a viewer that renders things properly and allows to edit objects safely, to hurry up and test the materials viewers (the Cool VL Viewer, but also LL's !).
If you find bugs in
LL's materials viewer, please open a
JIRA issue under the
MATBUG category.
If you find bugs specific to the Cool VL Viewer, please post them in the
bug report forum (and be sure to read the
rules and to provide the required info).
I am especially interested in knowing if you encounter any issue when editing prims and objects, using materials (specular and/or normal maps) or not, since the code for the face panel of the build floater is different from LL's.
