Materials IDS from 3dsmax to not transfer

[MaTtY631990]

I have a problem with a model I have created. I have made a Uav Hawk model In 3dsmax and set up a multi sub object material. Five materials in total, one for each wing, one for the fuselage and two smaller isolated areas. Problem is when I export the model to octane only one material is connected to the mesh node.

any help would be appreciated. thanks

Hi
I think the others should be there too, never had this problem, but as a quick solution deatach each matid to a new mesh and group them if you want to animete it.
Cheers

I had a similar problem. I found out that because I copied the materials and then changed them afterwards they would be different in Max, but in Octane they were the same.

I solved it by deleting the copied materials and then setting them all up individually.

are you using any other renderer materials? for example vray or mental ray? it only happened to me when i acidentally used a multi/sub-object material of vray materials and exported it to obj, my whole object had the same material, which sounds absolutely natural to me.
i always use a material converting script (http://www.scriptspot.com/3ds-max/scrip ... ter-v0-98b) to make sure everything's a standard material before exporting.
