I'm exporting a basic cube model test from 3DSMax.&nbsp; I'm going max =\> collada =\> PVR converter =\> pod.
&nbsp;

I have 6 sides each with a seperate texture.&nbsp; However, instead of splitting geometry into 6 meshes, each with a texture /material combo, I'm getting 6 copies of the cube.

&nbsp;

What is the fix?

Thanks,

Martin

I'm using Max 2012, hence the collada intermediate step

Ok it looks like the error is in the MAX =\> Dae&nbsp;, the colloda exporter.&nbsp;

Hi,

&nbsp;

Our last release of PVRGeoPOD had support for Max 2012 so your intermediate step isn't needed.
