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

You can assign a texture to a reference object. Since the reference
object points to a real object, it is not possible to change the
textures of subobjects in the "copy", since they are not copied.

Nope. Even if the object itself is frozen, you can still move the
texture.

 
> also, does a referrenced object have its own texture space?
Yes. The texture that you assign to a reference object will behave as
expected (i.e. just as with any other object). But changing the
texture space for the reference object does not change the way that
the subobjects of the object being referenced are rendered.

Think of the object being referenced as a black box, you can't change
anything inside it, you can only move it and give it another texture.

So, I'm not quite sure what difficulties you're having. If you could
put together a sample that demonstrates it, maybe I can help.
