Hi all,

is there a general procedure for converting V3.1 textures with filter
and transmit to V3.5 textures? For example, swopping the two
components? And is this relevant for non-layered textures, too? 

The reason I ask is so that I may offer to make this conversion
automatically when Moray V3.5 reads in an older scene....

Thanks for any help you can provide...

As I recall, in earlier versions, filtering textures simply behaved as
transmitting textures when used in layers. If filter was used, just
change it to transmit.
For non-layered textures, I don't think there have been any big
changes...maybe a couple bug fixes.
