@LPSlasher Try duplicating the brick material within the multi-sub object material by dragging it to a new slot and then apply to the problem face and then alter the tile option. This may be a quick fix. Otherwise, you may want to look into UVW mapping, and UVW Unwrap where there are options to modify the textures carefully.
@MarcusDesigns Yeah, you know I've just remember that I had to add a ProBoolean substraction to that side of the wall, that's probably what's messing it all up :S
I'ma try just copying the wall, placing it in the same place and delete the otherone :)
I think when I copy it, the copy won't have no modifiers..
Great tutorial but I'm having one problem ( I'm fairly new to 3dsmax btw). I want to make a cube with 3 different materials, one for the top, one for the sides, and one for the bottom. So I make one either 16x16x16 or 20x20x20, convert it into an editable poly and assign the top, sides and bottom to their unique ID's. But when I've made the multi-sub material and try to apply it, the box just turns grey and I see no texture at all. This might be a noob mistake but what do I do?
@gordonfreemannr2 Dunno what version of max you're using, but after you drag your texture on, try clicking the Show Standard Map in Viewport (or similar) toggle in the Material Editor; the icon is a blue and white checkered box. You can switch between grey and the applied material..hope that helps :>
@gordonfreemannr2 Actually i'm having the exact same issue. I set my IDs to unique pieces, etc, but after I add a texture to say.. ID 1, after that I can't see the rest of the textures I add, only gray. And it's driving me nuts lol. It's making things difficult because I can't tell if i've selected something by mistake until later. It won't even show the textures in render. D:
@CrimsonMoonshadow I think Max only allows for 1 texture map to be shown within a multi\sub-object material, so this is one of the downsides of using it. Not sure why it wouldn't appear in a viewport, and colours should show but not actual texture maps. Have you applied the colours first, and then texture mapped with bitmaps?
i owe u one dude... really... big thanks for u...

@MarcusDesigns Hey sup dude!
I've got a problem here that really ruined all expectations for a pretty house model...
I've got a L-Shaped wall and I applied a brick material to it... It worked in 3 faces, but the texture deforms and stretches along other 2 faces :S
I've tried rotating and offsetting, still I can't fix it, any ideas?

@gordonfreemannr2 Is the problem still there when you render? Usually the grey appearance means that you have applied a texture corrrectly.

@MarcusDesigns I appear to have fixed somehow for now but thanks anyway :)

@gordonfreemannr2 No probs. Does the texture mapping appear in the viewports?
