Here's an image showing it: First I bring in the airplane from the object browser. Next is the shaders that come in with the plane (other than the starting generic "default" shader.) And then how the plane renders. Some parts that have the airplane_auv material applied don't automatically get the right shader. But then when dragging and dropping the shader onto them, it looks and then renders as intended...

Does Carrara get confused if things have more than one material to a single piece? (I don't know offhand of other apps with this problem.) I'm just confused, because to my way of thinking - if a model is set up a particular way and dragged to the object browser, it should open up that way. Also when saving models as part of a scene (not through the browser, but through save menu) I don't have this kind of problem.  :blink:
