> Actually, renaming the MATs is the best way to go (only way really). After you rename the MATs, just make the same changes in the 3do. At the beginning of the 3do file is a materials list which (obviously) lists all the MATs used in the model. You only have to change the names at the top because the meshes only require the material number.
