Some1 knows, how to get the multimaterial in renx after import from w3d? E.g. for this model (nod-crane)?

after import it's visually applied, but not set in the material editor. So, after export, the model is black.

Simply re-apply the texture works only for the crane-base (simple material), not for the part above (multi-material)?

You have to manually redo the material settings, the RenX importer is not able to reconstruct those for you.

this means, re-texture (UVW) the complete thing?

I dont understand this, because:

- the texture is applied correctly, u can see in renx.
- RenX should be able to transfer the data data it knows into the material database?

You will have to create a new material with all the texture settings and just apply it to the correct meshes the uvw coordinates should still be there.

if the materials are in the folder same as the w3d, then you can see the model skinned, but there are no materials so u have to redo them
