Hi

I had back then a weird problems with AC3D and AH materials. They seem to some how corrupt sometimes.

Did you check the .ac file material assignments with text editor? There should be a 'mat ' with number per object face:

(snip)
numsurf 28
SURF 0x30
mat 19
refs 4
0 0.010041 -0.089157
1 1.384997 -0.091469
2 1.372921 0.266267
3 0.020636 -0.014646
SURF 0x30
mat 19
refs 3
4 -0.175042 -0.393024
5 0.000000 -0.000000
6 -0.438140 -0.000000
(snip)

Check out the AH material predefinition list (256 lines) is at the beginning of the .ac file, between the 'AC3Db' and 'OBJECT world' lines.

Also you could send a sample file to me. Check your PM.

Actually, that's how i add the materials to the objects.I replace all "mat x" (where x is a mat number) with "mat 0" using wordpad or notepad and just add the material as a second line in file.

I don't know, it seems totally random, as i did the same procedure over and over with every object.

ok

Then I can't help with problem

Instead of the Notepad or Wordpad, get the NotePad++. It is VERY POWERFUL freeware text editor, that I have been using a years as a default WinXP text editor.

I have my own .ac definition in NotePad++, which helps a lot .ac file checking/editing with folding options.
