Description
PlasmaMax is stuffing... something... into the alpha channel of the vertex data automatically on export. See plMeshConverter.cpp SetWaterColor(). Figure out what's going on here and see if we need to be doing that as well.

Research direction
Start by examining plMeshConverter.cpp and its SetWaterColor() function to understand how PlasmaMax handles the vertex alpha channel during export. Compare that behavior with Korman's export path and determine whether matching handling is required; done means documenting the finding and establishing whether a corresponding change is needed.
