Hi ryan constantine, you recently wrote in moray.win:

Ufff, I don't think I follow.

No. It really uses the parents system. You can only make it move all
the way up with the World space.

Yes, afraid so.

If the objects whose textures you want to change aren't too deep in
the hierarchy, you could copy them as references and build the
hierarchy above them by hand. Or copy the whole fighter, delete the
part that should be differently textured and attach a reference to
that part from the original in its place.
