2 Material ID's in Marmoset

bassmatt00

Hello community!

I just downloaded the trial version of Marmoset and have been trying to find a way to import 2 materials into my scene but to no avail. My static mesh has 2 material ID's but only one shows up. Does anyone know if this is possible or am I not looking in the right place for it.

You need to export the object into separate chunks, with each chunk having a separate material.
In Max, I believe that you select all your objects and then> export selected> as .obj

Oh... I've been exporting as an .fbx not an .obj file. I'll try it out and see what's what. Thank you!

FBX works fine as well. Go into polygon selection mode and select by material channel. You need to make sure they're totally separate objects as opposed to separate elements of the same object. The object name will carry over to Marmoset so make sure to keep them as something you'll recognize (hair, gun, body, etc.) Select all then export selected and you should be fine.

so you're saying that I should export out 2 separate objects into one FBX making sure that the material ID's are different for each object?

I'll give that a shot. Thank you

Yes, it should work with two different material ID's set to one object too.
