Hi All I have been working on a OBJ motorcycle in Vue with 137 items and have no problem in changing the mats for each item.

But in Poser the same motorcycle seems to have only 19 material groups even though

the group editor tool shows 137 items that it is made from.

When I import the Poser file into Vue I can only change the materials on 18 groups now  so the question is how do I bring the model V3 plus motorcycle which is fully posed but with a full range of items so I have the  options for changing the material on the bike

 

Regards

It sounds like some of the groups have the same materials assigned to them.  This is common in Poser.  The number of "material zones" does not necessary equal the number of groups.

Many Poser users use UV Mapper to change material zones.  You should be able to do it in your modeller, too.
