Namely, a prim using one of these textures is capable of rendering whatever avatar textures and textures containing alpha channels are inside or behind it completely invisible. Normal textures that do not contain alpha channels will remain untouched." ------------------------------------------------------------------------ the overheard dialog: [09:34 PM] FalIen Fallen has entered chat range (2.8m) [09:34 PM] Bryce Markova has entered chat range (3.9m) [09:34 PM] Bryce Markova: AAAAAAAH [09:35 PM] FalIen Fallen: kanichiwa [09:35 PM] Bryce Markova: HE IS A DONUT [09:35 PM] FalIen Fallen: HAHAHAHA [09:35 PM] FalIen Fallen: A DONUT [09:35 PM] Bryce Markova: hes afk ------------------------------------------------------------------------
