Hi Gary,I was also surprised that they changed the user interface of the Material Editor, I hope they did that to add more options otherwise I was very used to the old one :) Now I will need to read more tutorials to learn things from scratch :)CheersMichel

I always prefered the GMAX material editor over 3DMAX, so I was concerned to see GMAX going the 3DMAX way. I've had a wee play though and it seems to be an improvement -- pointing to pick up textures for example.By the way, you normally wouldn't 'apply' night textures in GMAX -- you just need to switch on night textures in the exporter. Of course you need matched and aligned night texture bitmaps with the _lm extension.

Actually, have just been playing around with the new MatEdit and it is pretty good. I did not remember it from the previous but the drag & drop functionality is fantastic!Shez
