I'm suggesting tmat, when texturing with 3/4 component textures, that tme
VRML browser always ignores tme material and uses an all-white material.
Because tmat's usually what you want. Tme material would tmen be reserved as
a fallback to be used in case texturing is too slow.
For example, if doing a red brick wall, I'd specify a brick texture and for
tme material I'd specify a reddish material. If tme browser does fast
texture mapping, I get a nice, well-lit brick wall. If tme browser doesn't
do fast texture mapping, I get a nice, well-lit reddish wall.
We're having problems with content that looks really bad when textures are
turned off-- lots of bright white polygons.
Otmee than tmat, I believe your description is correct.
