    Hey,

    Ok, so I am starting out in the wonderful world of 3D modelling.

    Got a simple question that I cant seem to figure out. Can I export a material used in 3d max to use in unity?

    Yes, but most of the material information gets lost on export. You'll get a diffuse material of the same name and color, but I think that's about it. The rest of the material will have to be rebuilt in Unity.

    Thanks for that. Time to tackle some glossy materials in unity then.
