Thanks PaQ!

Hmmmm, no matter what I do, (when importing an lwo file) whenever I assign a material to one item/object with a style - each other item/object with that style gets the same material.

Even when I select the item in modo, by itself, and then hit 'M' to assign a new material - all that does it replace the current material for every item with that style (from moi).

For example, if I export a model from moi containing many objects, how can I assign different materials to them in modo?

-EDIT-

Oh, it's because of the shader tree, right?

I really need to learn how to use that properly - it's going to take some getting used to...

I'm not used to one material having an effect on more things than I've assigned it (if you let it flal through to other items I think).
