Setting up multi-material object in Max,
-
Jonathan 480 posts30 Jan 2008I'm having some issues setting up mult-material objects in Max. I checked the User Reference manual, but apparently I'm doing something wrong.
I have a large building that needs to have two different materials applied to it.
Max starts with channel 1, and most newer game engines start with 0, but that will be no problem, as I think 1 will be moved to 0 and 2 will be moved to 1.
Anyway, how do you do this in Max, do you apply two UVunwraps, or just selelect the faces, and select a channel? When I have done this, my UVs reset.
I'm a little tired, so I'm a little rusty.

You can unwrap the model however you want (one big unwrap, or multiple projections for localized areas etc)
To setup different map channels for geometry, apply an edit_poly or edit_mesh modifier to your object, select the faces you want to change the mapping channel for, and then scroll down in the modifier properties and set the channel number...once you then apply your multi-subobject material, everything will fall into place. -

Thanks Tyson, that was quite easy, and I was making it difficult, as usual.
