I'm continuing your discussion in this thread. Way off track over there.

Have you ever used the asset tracking in Max? I think you'll find that you have multiple files listed there for your .tga, even if it's the same file listed in multiple folders. You can right click on each line, and browse to the correct location.

Wes showed me how to do dat, but I don't remember. I don't get that eror mesage untill I start assigning mulitpal materials with the tga.

Multiple materials are allowed. But any materials that point to a .tga must point to the same .tga stored in the same folder. I think in Max9 the Asset tracker is listed in the first column. Shift+t may be a shortcut, but that's a guess. Try that and post a screenshot here.

I had the problem once and nothing worked until I named an image correctly and placed it in the same directory where max was expecting it. Then I was able to clear it from the material slot. Which made max forget about that particular .tga.
