Hi Portrait, I´d like to ask you a question, see if you can help me. I´ve imported a chief model into 3ds Max following the steps you posted in a thread and it works well separating the materials. For me at the moment it´s easier to do the model in chief and work on the materials for the final render in 3d Max. Is it possible to apply materials in 3D Max per items? At the moment if I change one object´s material (ex. door frame) it changes all the other objects in the design that use that material. Could i just bring the model from chief, make everything white and start applying materials item per item? Many thanks for your help.
