3DS and multiple UV unwraps...

[Dr.J]

i wanna try to texture an object with the UVW unwrap option in 3ds max and im just wondering... how do i use different UV unwrapping methods on different parts of the same mesh (ie if i want to use cylinder mapping for one materialID and box for another..)?? ive yet to use stuff like chilliskinner because ive yet to understand how to use it properly.... any help would be great thanks

i usually break my model in several parts, apply the mapping (not "unwrap"), and attach them when i'm done

you can assign different ids to groups of polygons. then you can use UVW mapping for exactly the assigned group ids.
i think max contains some good tutorials about this.
