Looks like Cinema4D wasn't utilizing the .mtl file when importing. I imported it using the Riptide plug-in and it did utilize the .mtl file. Now materials and selection tags in C4D are both named the same as the original style in Moi. Perfect!

Thanks for your help, Michael!

Randy,

there is also a python script for importing .mtl files in case you don't want to use riptide.

you can find it here http://c4d-jack.de/site/en/downloads/cat_view/82-python-skripte.html
