Ok guys
I have a fairlty complex model.
I am trying to apply a combustion material to some of the polygons.
I managed to do that in a simple box turned to poly and i cannot get to do it in my complex object. This is what ive done, what am i doing wrong?
1. I select the polygons in question
change their material ID to 3 ( it is my third material, id 2 is successfully in there)
2.I assign a UVW Mapping modifier, Map Channel 3
3. I create a material wiht a material effects channel 3 and assign the material to the model with the faces selectd. The material is accepted and renders ok so far.
4. I assign a combustion bump map, set on map channel 3
5. I paint either on the combustion workspace or the model in max, it works but when i go to render it nothing happens. When I did the same operation on my box (there was only one material assigned instead of my subobject materials) the combustion bumpmap happily translated to the rendering.
I suspect that some of my assignments are unnecessary but the main problem is one of omission perhps, what am i doing wrong!>??? thanx
