Same object, different textures?

Im using maya and im trying to figure out a way for one object to have different sections of mesh in which different texture/shader is applied? Since maya seems to have the best overall import into unity I would expect that if you can do it in maya, unity would value it. Although it doesnt seem like this would be possible due to the fact that unity has one shader per object and one texture for that shader. Having to break my object into a bunch of separate objects seems silly when I want it all to act like one object with multiple textures. It doesnt look like I can do this but I thought I might ask any way.

Thanks a lot, Bill

 

Unity does support multiple materials per object. This should import from Maya just fine.

 

This works just great in Unity... Sometimes you have to relink textures to materials, change some settings around, etc. If Unity only allowed one material per an object that would be extremely limiting :wink:

 

Glad I asked, how do you assign a material to the selected faces in maya? Im still learning all mayas wonders.

Select the faces you want, go to the HyperShade, right click on a Material, and choose "assign material to selection".

 

Perfect thanks, going to try it now.
