Look Development: S106, Set 2

I have now added in the 3rd mesh of s106 and I'm using a separate set of particles to test out the look parameters I've developed.  I discounted the failed particles in culling these sets out (simply removed particles that were completely transparent).  I tested a single subset to see approximately how many particles I'm losing to this error.  I then extrapolated how those percentages would affect the overall set.

Subset test:

w/ fails removed
101900
w/o fails removed            #OK             #FAIL            %
103883                                 102233       1650              1.59%

Extrapolation for entire set :

w/ fails removed
1900063
w/o fails removed             #OK             #FAIL            %
1930274                                1900063     30211            1.59%

If you take into account that we're applying a PDF to our data set, some of these lost particles would be removed anyway.

Original Set: 1900063
PDF Set:         632123 (30% retention)

Viable Fails:  9063

Not sure how big an effect 9K extra particles would have on the appearance of the data set.  However, the ideal situation would be a solution to the texture-lookup fails.
