Hi PixelDust, you recently wrote in moray.win:

When you assign the material, make sure that UpperArm is the selected
object (i.e. the Name display on the Modify Tab reads 'UpperArm'. I
suspect that you are simply clicking on UpperArm in the list of
subobjects while ArmHolder is selected. This does not select UpperArm
and therefore if you then assign a texture, it is assigned to
ArmHolder. In this case when you select UpperArm, it will show
[ChromeLook]. Notice the square brackets around the texture name. This
means that the object is inheriting the texture.
