Hi all, I have some questions about PVRGeoPOD plugin and scene & object format:

&nbsp;
  

1. Is there any way to export a single mesh that have multiple materials/textures assigned (multi/sub in 3ds Max) or only one material/texture per mesh is allowed?
  

&nbsp;
  

2. Struct SPODMaterial have only nIdxTexDiffuse (index for diffuse texture), but SPODMesh allows to use multiple nNumUVW (UVs sets). So, if theres a way to export UVs for second texture channel (for example to use lightmaps), why there is no index in SPODMaterial for second (and more) textures?
  

&nbsp;
  

3. PVRGeoPOD plugin GUI - how exactly each 'Triangle sorting method' works?
  

a) PVRTGeometrySort?
  

b) D3DX?
  

c) PVRTTriStrip?
  

&nbsp;
  

4. How to use pszEffectFile and pszEffectName&nbsp;in SPODMaterial? This is only useful for D3D (by using D3DXEffects interfaces)?
  

&nbsp;
  

Big thanks for any answers!
