Hi Thomas,

Don't worry about any delay, I saw you are working on Gancaloon ;-))

About the material, the answer is : they must be defined in an INC file.

I thought of some sort of a texture list file, but I'm not sure it would be 
really useful. If you have any new feature request on this topic or any 
other one : just tell.

Best regards

Philippe
