Multi/Sub-Object Materials

It’s must work without any problems. Have you tried?

Oh, now I unerstand. Sorry, but there’s no multy/sub-object material for puzzles now, the only way is to divedive youur mesh into sub-objects and place the materials on htem separately.

Hi,

I know this post is old, but I could REALLY use Multi-Sub Object in Puzzles.

To break up a scene into multiple meshes in order to assign a material isn’t going to work for me because I have hundreds of meshes and just 3 materials in a single Multi/sub-object.

Please can you guys look at this because Multi-sub object is used very much in 3DS Max.

Thank you :)

Hello,
i did face the same issue today on the watch hands of my latest model.
They are animated (thanks again to @kdv who helped me get it working) and minute and hour hands include 2 materials
To get this fixed, I did detach the parts using MatID2 and then i created a dummy for each hand, linking the 2 parts of the minute, and the 2 parts of the hour hands
Using a dummy will help you to get the materials assigned as required
Obviously, this isn’t the perfect solution, especially if you have hundreds of meshes, but it is at least a more or less good workaround
A little helper, for large scenes, is this 3ds script
Detach by ID
Using it quite often to split meshes into more manageable parts

Hope this helps
