Hi Jonas, I am curious as to whether the IPAS 4 toolkit provides me with a method by which I might assign materials to vertices, then have them interpolated across the respective faces( in a PXP). It is essential to our project that we be able to accomplish this. Will I need to create an SXP for this purpose? I had hoped to speak with you about this at SIGGRAPH, but as you well know, the Autodesk booth was a pretty hectic scene! 🙂 Thanks in advance for your reply, Jim Butler Limit Point Systems, Inc.

Hi Jim, << I am curious as to whether the IPAS 4 toolkit provides me with a method by which I might assign materials to vertices, then have them interpolated across the respective faces( in a PXP). >> Materials get assigned to faces but the textured vertices cary the UV coordinates. I'm not sure what your question is. :-(.. You can assign a material to a face in IPAS4 and you can modify the UV coordinates. You may wish to review..
