hi everyone, i'm kinda new with sub-D modeling and i was wondering if there is a way to just select certain faces and add a different shader or texture to it like with polys? I've tried but couldn't get it to work, but i figured i would ask cause maybe there is a way... if it matters i'm working with maya 4.5... thanks!

yeah you select a face in proxy mode and apply the shader to that face.

im using 4.5 and i tried in on a couple models and it works.....it might have something to do with your history but it worked in 4.0 before also.
