    Hey,

    I am animating in 3ds max and want to have my textures swapped for making my character blink,

    The way i went about it is i used a multisubobject with 2 materials one for eyes open the other for closed.

    in order to swap i used a material modifier and set that up with a dummy controller. In 3ds max it works perfectly fine, but i have yet to find a solution to export it.

    Any alternate ideas to get this working would be amazing!!!

    Unity doesn't support multi-subobject materials afaik.

    You already have the UV's situated in Max so best to find the solution for Unity. There are a couple ways to do this though. I'm apologize for being short on specifics because I haven't attempted this technique.
    Any reason you didn't attempt a simple 3D morph like this super basic example?

    Pretty awesome example of 3D with swapping 2D textures in Unity.
