A bake proxy (IMG_USE_BAKED_*) behaved differently in a face's PBR material than in its legacy texture: PBR faces turned white while you edited your appearance, didn't hide the system body, and Refresh Textures refreshed the proxy instead of the bake.

White in edit appearance mode (ca9043a, 5cc8430)

  • Cause. While you edit your appearance, LLVOAvatar::getBakedTexture returns the local composite, an LLViewerTexLayerSetBuffer, which is a dynamic texture. LLFetchedGLTFMaterial's slots hold only fetched textures, so updateTEMaterialTextures dropped it with a dynamic_cast, and both bind paths drew the empty slot with their stand-in: white base colour, flat normal, white ORM. Leaving the mode put the server bake back. The cast and the slot type came from LL (1a437cb, de4c018).
  • Change. The material keeps what each bake slot resolves to in mBakedTextures, of any texture type, and everything that draws reads through getRenderTexture: bind, pushGLTFBatchIndexed, the faces' texture channels and the selection outline. The fetched slots keep their type for the terrain, preview and upload code, which never see a bake.
  • refreshBakeTexture only looked at a face's legacy texture. It now also resolves a PBR face's bake slots again where one changed, through changeTEMaterialTextures, which LLVOVolume follows with the same rebuild changeTEImage asks for.
  • The spot shadow cache (Spot shadow maps capped at 2048 and drawn only when their light or casters change #544) digests an alpha-tested caster's base colour through getRenderTexture too, so a caster masked by its bake draws its shadow again when the bake changes, and every frame while it is the local composite.

System body not hidden (ce67354, 6b6f8cd, a1d931a, b71807b)

  • Cause. updateMeshVisibility hid a system body part only when an attachment face's legacy texture was its proxy, so a body that named BAKED_UPPER only in its PBR material drew over the system upper body. LL's develop does the same.
  • Change. ALBakeProxies::drawnBy counts a face's legacy texture, the same test as before, and its render material's base colour, the slot that stands for that texture. A bake in the normal, ORM or emissive slot shades the surface without hiding anything, as a legacy material's maps hide nothing. Of a HUD's face only the legacy texture counts, as in LL's viewer: a HUD resolves no bake, so its material draws none.
  • A new overload of updateAvatarMeshVisibility, called from initRenderMaterial and setRenderMaterialID, asks the avatar again when the bake a face's material draws changes. It compares those rather than asking whenever either names a bake, since every texture entry update rebuilds a PBR face's render material and an alpha HUD sends many at once. A material still downloading when a face takes it fills in its IDs in place, so its completion callback compares against nothing, and so does a face that takes an already loaded material at its first build.
  • Faces ask through LLVOAvatar::dirtyMeshVisibility, which the avatar's idle update serves once: a material a body's faces share completes for all of them at once, and each asking straight away walked every attachment face again. Attaching, detaching and appearance messages still update at once.

One avatar's bake on another's body (03d9e9b, 7aaeae9)

  • Cause. The bake a material names is resolved into what the face draws. A face that took a material still fetching drew the material every object using it shares, so each build resolved its own avatar's bake into it, and two avatars wearing one body's material could show each other's skin.
  • Change. The face gets its own copy when the material completes (onRenderMaterialFetched), and updateTEMaterialTextures gives any face still drawing a shared material that names a bake its copy before resolving anything into it, as one whose texture entry was copied, which keeps no render material.

Refresh Textures (8738946, 1e5a7d7)

  • Cause. For a PBR face it refreshed each slot's texture ID, which for a bake slot is the proxy's own UUID. The bake the face draws wasn't refreshed, and destroy_texture, which created a fetched texture for any ID to clear it, started a download of the proxy that nothing draws.
  • Change. Each slot's ID comes from getRenderTexture, as the legacy image's comes from getTEImage, and destroy_texture looks the texture up rather than creating one. The local composite, which both give in edit appearance mode, then has nothing to clear. A copy not yet built since it was made draws nothing yet, and its slots refresh their own IDs, which are what it will draw.

Tested. On Windows (RelWithDebInfo), in-world, PBR bake faces show the local composite in edit appearance mode (checked before the rebase onto develop). On develop, every file the PR changes compiles, and all 75 newview_tests pass, among them albakeproxies_test, which covers which slots and faces hide a body part and fails against the earlier rule. Hiding the system body and Refresh Textures haven't been checked in-world yet.

Not changed. In edit appearance mode, the texture picker's preview of a bake proxy and the PBR material preview still can't show the composite. The picker's code is shared with legacy texture controls.

📝 Summary

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Improved GLTF material rendering with more reliable use of resolved and baked avatar textures.
    • Fixed texture refresh and cleanup behavior so updated or removed textures appear correctly.
    • Improved fallback handling for missing or incomplete GLTF color, emissive, normal, and metallic-roughness textures.
    • Corrected avatar mesh visibility when baked textures are referenced through GLTF materials or object faces.
    • Material texture changes now trigger timely visual updates and face remapping.

GLTF materials now resolve baked textures by texture slot. Viewer objects refresh those resolutions and update avatar mesh visibility when material bake mappings change. Rendering and viewer texture tools use the resolved textures.

Changes: GLTF Bake Texture Resolution

Layer / File(s) Summary
Resolve baked texture slots
indra/newview/llfetchedgltfmaterial.*, indra/newview/llviewerobject.*, indra/newview/llvovolume.*
Fetched materials track resolved baked textures per slot. Viewer objects resolve bake proxies, refresh affected material textures, and notify volume objects to update face textures and mappings.
Update avatar mesh visibility
indra/newview/llvoavatar.*, indra/newview/llviewerobject.*
Avatar visibility checks include baked textures named by GLTF material slots. Material changes and material completion trigger visibility updates.
Use resolved textures in rendering and tools
indra/newview/lldrawpool.cpp, indra/newview/alselectionoutline.cpp, indra/newview/alviewermenu.cpp, indra/newview/llfetchedgltfmaterial.cpp, indra/newview/llvovolume.cpp
Material binding, volume rendering, selection outlines, and texture refresh use resolved textures. Texture destruction finds existing fetched textures without creating missing entries.

… completes

A new object's render material IDs are read before it has faces:
LLVOVolume::processUpdateMessage sets the volume, which makes them, after
the base class has unpacked the extra params, so setRenderMaterialIDs set
none. Each face takes its material at its first rebuild, in the fallback
in updateTEMaterialTextures, and where the material was still fetching
there its completion only marked the object for update. initRenderMaterial
saw the material's empty textures when the face took it and never ran
again, so a material naming a bake proxy kept no copy of its own unless
an override arrived. The face drew the material every object using it
shares, and each rebuild resolved its own avatar's bake into it: two
avatars wearing one body's material could show each other's skin. The
system body part stayed shown too, as the visibility check runs from
initRenderMaterial. The fallback came from LL in 2022.

onRenderMaterialFetched does what setRenderMaterialID's completion did for
a material that was fetching: initRenderMaterial, then the avatar's mesh
visibility from nothing. Both completions call it. CodeRabbit found this
on #533.

…material

A bake proxy (IMG_USE_BAKED_*) in any of a PBR material's four slots hid
the system body part it is baked for, so a layer using IMG_USE_BAKED_UPPER
as its emissive or ORM map hid the upper body. A legacy material's normal
and specular maps hide nothing; only a face's image does, and the base
colour is the slot that stands for it. updateMeshVisibility also counted
the materials on the HUD attachment points, where getBakedTextureForMagicId
resolves no bake, so a HUD naming one hid a body part it does not draw.

ALBakeProxies holds the bake sets, apart from LLVOAvatar so that the
viewer's tests reach them. drawnBy counts a face's image and its render
material's base colour, and of a HUD's face its image alone, as Linden's
viewer counts it. updateAvatarMeshVisibility asks nothing when a HUD's
material changes. Found reviewing #533.

A PBR material slot naming a bake proxy (IMG_USE_BAKED_*) drew white in
edit appearance mode, and normal, ORM and emissive slots fell to their
defaults the same way. LLVOAvatar::getBakedTexture returns the local
composite there, an LLViewerTexLayerSetBuffer, which is a dynamic
texture. LLFetchedGLTFMaterial's slots hold only fetched textures, so
updateTEMaterialTextures cast it away with a dynamic_cast to
LLViewerFetchedTexture, and both bind paths drew the empty slot with
their stand-in. Leaving the mode put the server bake, a fetched texture,
back. The cast came from LL in 1a437cb and the slot type in
de4c018.

LLFetchedGLTFMaterial::mBakedTextures now holds what each bake slot
resolved to, of any texture type, and updateTEMaterialTextures fetches
nothing for those slots. getRenderTexture gives a slot's bake, else its
fetched texture, and is what bind, pushGLTFBatchIndexed, the faces'
texture channels and the selection outline read. The fetched slots keep
their type for the terrain, preview and upload code, which never see a
bake.

refreshBakeTexture looked only at the face's own image, so a PBR face
whose image named no bake was refreshed only when something else rebuilt
it. It now resolves the bakes the face's render material names, and
where one resolves to another texture calls changeTEMaterialTextures,
which LLVOVolume follows with the rebuild changeTEImage asks for.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
An attachment face whose image is a bake proxy (IMG_USE_BAKED_*) hides
the system body part that bake is for. One that names the proxy only in
its PBR material did not: LLVOAvatar::updateMeshVisibility read each
face's image ID alone, and only a change to an image asked for it again
(LLViewerObject::updateAvatarMeshVisibility). A mesh body whose material
named BAKED_UPPER drew over the system upper body unless its image named
it too. LL's develop reads image IDs alone as well.

LLVOAvatar::getBakesDrawnBy gives the bakes a face draws, from its image
and every slot of its render material, and updateMeshVisibility gathers
them in place of its two copies of eleven compares. The image's part is
the same test, through assetIdToBakedTextureIndex.

An overload of updateAvatarMeshVisibility takes a face and the render
material it had before, and asks the avatar again where the bakes the
two name differ: initRenderMaterial calls it, for a material that
completes, an override or a face added, and so does setRenderMaterialID.
It compares the bakes rather than asking whenever either names one, as
the image overload does, because every texture entry update rebuilds a
PBR face's render material, and an alpha HUD sends many at once. A
material still fetching when a face took it named nothing then and fills
in its textures in place, so setRenderMaterialID's completion callback
asks again from nothing rather than from the material.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
object_texture_refresh took a PBR face's textures from its render
material's texture IDs, while it takes the image from getTEImage, the
texture drawn. For a slot naming a bake proxy (IMG_USE_BAKED_*) the ID is
the proxy's own, so the bake the face draws was never refreshed, and
destroy_texture, which made a fetched texture of any ID to clear it,
started a download of the proxy that nothing draws. Each slot's ID now
comes from LLFetchedGLTFMaterial::getRenderTexture, as the image's does
from getTEImage.

destroy_texture finds the texture in gTextureList rather than making one.
An ID no fetched texture has, as the local composite's while the avatar
edits its appearance, which getTEImage and getRenderTexture both give,
has nothing to clear.

…material

A bake proxy (IMG_USE_BAKED_*) in any of a PBR material's four slots hid
the system body part it is baked for, so a layer using IMG_USE_BAKED_UPPER
as its emissive or ORM map hid the upper body. A legacy material's normal
and specular maps hide nothing; only a face's image does, and the base
colour is the slot that stands for it. updateMeshVisibility also counted
the materials on the HUD attachment points, where getBakedTextureForMagicId
resolves no bake, so a HUD naming one hid a body part it does not draw.

ALBakeProxies holds the bake sets, apart from LLVOAvatar so that the

material changes. Found reviewing #533.

…em body

A new attachment's faces take their material in updateTEMaterialTextures'
fallback, at their first build, after attachObject has asked for the
body's visibility. Where the material was already loaded, as when a body
is worn again within half a minute or another avatar nearby wears the
same one, initRenderMaterial compared the face's copy with the material
set on the face a line before, which names the same bakes, and asked
nothing: the system body drew through a body whose PBR material named its
bake until the next appearance message. The fallback now asks from
nothing, as onRenderMaterialFetched does for a material still fetching.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Each face that asked for updateMeshVisibility had it run there and then,
and it walks every face of every attachment. When a material a body's
faces share completes, each face's onRenderMaterialFetched asked in turn:
a few hundred walks of a few thousand faces in one callback. A body's
images do the same as its texture entries arrive. The faces now mark the
avatar (dirtyMeshVisibility), and its idle update runs it once. The
callers that attach, detach or change the avatar's appearance still run it
straight away, which clears the mark.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
…r it took it

updateTEMaterialTextures resolves a material's bake proxies for the
object's avatar into whatever the face draws, which is the material
gGLTFMaterialList shares when the face has no copy of its own. The face
that took a material still fetching now gets its copy when it completes,
but a face can still reach a build drawing the shared material: a copied
LLTextureEntry keeps no render material, and LLVOVolume::setNumTEs copies
the last face into the new ones when it plays media. The bakes of the
avatar built last were then drawn on every face drawing the material.

A face drawing a material that names a bake now takes its copy there,
before anything is resolved into it. ALBakeProxies::anyNamedBy is the
test, which initRenderMaterial makes too.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
object_texture_refresh refreshed a PBR slot only where getRenderTexture
gave a texture. A copy initRenderMaterial makes holds none until the
face's next build, as when an override arrives during one, and Refresh
Textures then skipped every slot of the face. Such a slot refreshes its
own ID, which is what the face will draw. For a bake proxy that clears
only a fetched texture of the proxy, which a HUD or an animated object
draws.

The spot shadow cache (#544) digests an alpha-tested GLTF caster's base
colour from mBaseColorTexture, which holds nothing for a slot naming a
bake proxy now that the bake is LLFetchedGLTFMaterial::mBakedTextures'.
A caster masked by its bake kept its cached shadow when the bake changed,
and while the avatar edits its appearance the local composite, a dynamic
texture that marks the casters changing, went unseen. The digest reads
getRenderTexture, the texture the shadow pass binds.
