Version 3: bug fix

◆ Fix: the skin could disappear
With this plugin on a Person, that Person's skin could vanish (only eyes, hair and clothing left) when the Person stood away from the center of the scene and the center was out of view. It happened even with XRAY off. I came across it myself while testing; the cause was in this plugin, and it is fixed. To everyone who downloaded version 1 or 2: sorry for the trouble, and thank you for using this plugin.
Nothing else changes, and scenes saved with version 2 look the same.
If it still happens right after updating, restart VaM once.

What's new in version 2

◆ XRAY: Scroll Projection Mode rebuilt
New ways to lay the scrolling glow texture on the XRAY overlay, without the stretching and folded bands of the old modes. The modes are now:

• Default - the skin's own texture layout (unchanged).
• Around (new) - wraps around each body part, like rings around the arms and legs, and moves with the skin.
• Slice - level stripes that follow the person as a whole but not the skin, so they slide over the body when it bends.
• Ripple - rings spreading out from a starting point. The new Ripple Center (Whole Person) setting picks that point: Chest (default) or any skin area, with left and right listed separately for hands, feet, ears and so on.

Around, Slice and Ripple keep the texture's proportions instead of stretching it.

◆ Scenes saved with version 1
Old mode names are converted when the scene loads:

• "Cylindrical" loads as Slice.
• "Radial" loads as Ripple. Ripple was rebuilt, so the pattern looks different from version 1.
• "Planar" loads as Default. Planar never did anything in version 1, so these scenes look the same.

◆ Other changes

• Scroll (clothing and XRAY): new Mirror V toggle. Repeat U / Repeat V now sit right next to their Mirror toggles.
• XRAY: fixed flickering around the genital area. The overlay was also drawing a hidden part of the skin that VaM itself does not draw.
• Help texts corrected: Disable Effects (clothing and CUAs only, not XRAY), Offset Color (every large glow needs a bloom post effect), Alpha Multiplier. The XRAY help now explains Scroll Projection Mode.
