New Linden viewer(6.6.7.576223) not render materials without diffuse texture

[Hitomi Magne]

I bought "THIS IS WRONG Soaked Shine 3D - Legacy/Omega TINTABLE(ADD)" that is apply water material to mesh body. It is nice to take photo at beaches.

But LL viewer 6.6.7.576223 not render it at all.

I think new LL viewer not render normal and specular material if diffuse texture is blank or 100% transparent.

Is this a bug or specification?

In your picture the diffuse isn't blank. Diffuse also can't be blank, its the main texture after all, it is always at least just white.

I suppose that this body got several (onion) mesh layers, one used for the ”diffuse”, and another for the ”material” (which itself would have a diffuse texture, of course).

This would be an alpha-sorting issue with rigged meshes and I'd rather suspect an issue (bug) with a reverted commit LL pushed last week. The (now reverted) commit was supposed to fix alpha-sorting in the performance viewer to restore the ”legacy” alpha sorting, but it caused other issues due to a bug in its implementation (seen with some mesh heads). I fixed that latter bug, and proposed that fix to LL, but it was not yet picked up, so far...

The Cool VL Viewer should render your body just fine (like Firestorm which did not yet pick up the revert from LL, but without the bug that likely impacts the latter with the said mesh heads).

LL reverted some changes they did in the performance viewer, but they did not pick up my (working) fix...

You could create a JIRA issue, giving reproduction steps (affected items, graphics settings, viewer version), and screen shots comparing what you get and what you should be seeing (use an older SL viewer or the Cool VL Viewer for the latter).
