New to Vue, succumbed after seeing all types of incredible sci-fi stuff. I've got a ton of models done in OBJ that I texture in different programs different ways. I create an empty UV map using UV mapper, and divide the object into material groups.

(I eventually plan on learning how to paint UV maps...but so far my efforts have been less than stellar)

But when I import my obj files into Vue it doesn't seem to recognize the material groups, so it wants to apply one material to the entire object.
When I use carrara and Daz, my objs import with a material group for the different parts, so if it's a spaceship I can apply one material to the guns, another to the bridge, another to the windows, etc. But I can't really make use of Vue until I can figure out how to split an object into different material zones.
Can anybody help me with that?

Thanks.
