i'm using a 3DS combat boot that can have 3 different colers applied to it;boot,laces,and eyelets can be 3 seperate colors if wanted.if i parent this to a figure and save as a pz3,when i open the pz3 the boots are wierd neon colorsand if i recolor them i can only get one color for all 3 parts of the boot.does anyone have a solution forthis? see attachments

boot befor save as pz3

When you first import the 3ds, can you see the different groups in the Render materials dialogue? Have you tried using .obj format instead of 3ds?
