Philippe,
Just used this last version of the plugin for the first time (and in Moray
RC2): One way or another, 'texture' and 'interior_texture' have been
switched, on the tool bar first of all, and then also when rendering (if you
follow what I mean...), the 'interior_texture' being displayed outside and
the 'texture' on the inside of the shell.
