Hi,
Is it possible to use multimaterials in one object in Indigo (like in Blender Internal by choosing different faces)?

yopa !

I haven't tried but I don't see how it wouldn't be possible. So long as all the materials are defined in the Blendigo panel you should be good. Why dont you give it a try on a simple cube?

I would but I'm about to go to bed, I have school tomorrow.

It's do-able using vertex groups. You can also have multi-uv sets too.

Are we are talking abaut blending materials here.
Chouse BLENDED = 2 materials in material type box.

No not blended, just using vertex groups to separate materials on different parts of the mesh.

Like so

Even not about makeing Groups of Vertex, coz to assign different material to different Object's faces you dont need to make new Group...
..just select Face and Assign(Material) to Face

I checked it - Indigo support this king of using multi-materials in one Object.

peace!

Yes, you need a blend map for it, a PNG or something (grayscale).
The other two materials have to be prezent in the scene.
This way you can blend many of the materials.

Peace.

@aleksandera
He is talking about multi-material and not blend material

Multi-material = different faces have different mat.

Yes, Indigo supports it, but I don't know about the Blender exporter.

Yes - Blendigo support it too
Thx for help.
