Multiple texture maps

[MosaFacku]

select the faces you want to have for 1 texture, then drag the material from hypershade onto those faces with the middle mouse button. then select the other faces you want, and drag the other texture onto those faces. it sounds more difficult than it actually is. hope it helps.

You can also select the faces and right click the shaderball and do an assign from the menu (hypershade and multilister). Or you can select it from the Lightning/Shading menu via Assign Existing Material. Or middle mouse drag it from the hypergraph or outliner...etc.

In Maya there are several ways to skin a cat. Some hate it. I love it! :thumbsup:

Note that you can also drag and drop an image file from windows explorer into the multilister or hypershade and you wont have to browse for the file.

Hope I confused you now...:)

Nope, sorry. The way I ended up doing it was through the UV Linking in the relationship editors. It worked so I'm fine now. Thanks everyone.

So you actually wanted to use two different UV-sets?
Otherwise you wont have to use the UV-linking.

ummm... are you doing this for a game ? i ask because you posted in the game thread.

if it is for a game, may i ask - what game ?

the reason is that i have almost never heard of any games allowing multi-subs (or what ever you call it)

Im working on a game at the moment for the PS2 and Xbox that allows you to use Multi-Sub materials!

Multi-texturing isn't that rare, is it? It's an extra pass but it can save loads of textures if used right - especially for terrain and stuff...

Im using it for game scenes! it makes life allot easier. . .
