heyas; um... no. :) why do you want all forty parts to be different materials, anyway? i'd go nuts setting them all up in poser. but anyway, the quickest way i know of is to open the sucker in uv mapper. hit ctrl-g (to select group), cursor/page down to the next group and hit enter, then hit alt-e, a, m (to assign a material), type a material, hit enter (twice to okay the creation of a new material), and do it again.
