50% of the time I try to do a UVW map in Gmax, I select the polys, I change the material ID to 2, and UVW map it. The texture doesn't show up.

Okay, whoops I must have forgotten to apply the material then. Select polys, apply materials-WTF!! Material ID changes to 1 when I apply the materials to the polys!?!

-_-

This happens all the time. It is SO frustrating.

Ooh. Good idea. But it doesn't work. For some reason, it doesn't like anything other than the 1st material. I tried UVW mapping it first, converting it to an editable mesh and changing the material ID. When I changed it to 2, the space I UVW mapped turns dark grey. When I change it to 3, it looks like it has material #1 on it! WTF! Even numbers are dark grey, and odds are material #1.

It only happens sometimes. But it doesn't cease to annoy the crap outta me when it does.
