  • can you make any material into glass? say i was building a car, could i use this tut to incorporate the glass for the wind shield? or do i have to make a new object and link it to the base mesh?

  • @pukaprat - you could use either method, it is a matter of preference.

  • Yo there nice totu, anyways i am trying to make a bowl with colours, White (map channel1 ) on the inside and black(map channel2 ) on the outside. i have applyed the 2 map channels, but my uvw maps only register the black one, even though i have set the white to map channel 1. hope i have explained my problem thoughly.

  • @vrigash - have you tried it the way I did it in the tutorial here? Not sure I can be much more help on this, pretty busy this month. Anyone else have a suggestion?

  • I'm not sure why he detached the polys in the first example. I usually just drag the material onto the selected polys and they get applied only to whats selected.

  • @Lord0lives - It's just another way to do it.- your method can be problematic if you don't have right selection set, materials can change on you, when you detach you can be more certain there will be no confusion.

  • Wow I just found this after a few weeks of making mine haha XD, but I go about doing it for gaming purposes in UDK.

  • thank you i was trying to figure out how to add more then one texture to one object

  • Thank you so much sir. I have been trying to do this for the longest while. Nice explanation , really helpful.

  • Surely there's an easier way to do this now within max 2012? The 2nd method seemed pretty long-winded.

  • muy bueno gracias...!, ya no me acordaba como hacer estas cosas.

  • Got exactly what I needed in 1 minute 40 seconds. Excellent tutorial, thanks!

  • Thank you very much, this is so helpful!

  • Nice tutorial!! I have one question though....is it possible to tile the two materials seperately?
