Might be a bit tricky - it's from a commercial client
Hi,
thanks
Basically it's a 3D card model, which really just has 3 distinct materials - front, back and side.
However, whatever they export it from creates a new material for each material ID, so one piece would have 3 materials
It then does the same for each piece of the model, so a 500 piece puzzle ends up with 3 materials x 500 - 1500 materials but it's really only 3?
I might be able to send it over, but I'd need to clear it with the client, and they're gearing up for an expo at the moment.
Not sure if I could recreate a dummy example in Max since Max won't allow you to create duplicate materials with the same name, but will let you import them!
I was sent a script by a friend that they wrote internally which does it quicker, but it still takes a while...
