using the scene from the collection zip verbatim, except for adding an

no difference in the 3.8 versions.  3.7.1-alpha.8656843 - v interesting.  using
the pigment as shown, I get the single decal but the other texture has turned
transparent and the droid looks like a weird mix of glass and (white) emissive
media.  :-)
