Textures disappearing when objects are merged

BlatterChip · 30th January 2009, 12:53 PM

Hello

I'm a complete noob to 3D modelling - I'm trying out the trial version of AC3D before purchasing. I have made a very simple collection of objects as a "trial" model (a space ship) and have applied a texture to each object. All is well up to this point - but when I merge the objects into one model all the textures disappear. If I try to apply the textures after merging the various objects that make up the model space ship, I cann't select individual objects any more (naturally) because they have been merged. I know I'm doing things wrong but I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong!

Any help and guidance will be graetly appreciated.
