RE: Overide on material

apparently it's something they do because it's better than the thing that would happen if they didn't do it. So you can imagine how bad that thing would be.

But why does it do this? Is it a bug, feature, what?

Partitions. It'll still  lock the material while you're in that pass but at
least it'll work.

Partitions are sort of groups, so you could try groups, I guess. One for
each object then override on the group.

Subject: Overide on material

Hi All,
I have about 12 objects all with the same material on. Each 
one is going to have a different image textured on.
So what I want to do is have 1 material then add an overide 
to each object and specify the different images. But when I 
do this, XSI creates a new material by itself, which says 
<locked by overide> which doesn't reference back to the 
original base material. Huh?!

Is there a way of doing this?

Thanks

Chris
