Hello,

I just try to figure out how to work with porxys and multiple materials in Maya.  
It is kind of painstaking to attach every material by hand for a huge object like a car.  
In the 3dMax Section I read about a Multi Mat workflow, but I dont see it in Maya.  
Perhaps someone has a good solution for me.  
Thnx in advance  
Martin

It would be also a great help to import the materials manualy and attach them automaticaly to the shader slots in the vray mesh material.
