Thanks for your response, but something is still missing. Let me give you an example: If I go to the Props in Poser and create a ball and a cylinder and combine them so that they are touching and then export them as a one wavefront object and then import them back into Poser, when I use the paint bucket, it changes the color of both objects. I want to be able to change each to a different color. I want to see material 1 and material 2 listed in the material dialouge box. Does this help?
