shaders on different faces

[thirteen]

is there a way to use different shaders on different faces on the same object? i know it can be done very easily in Max, just select the faces and apply the material. I can't seem to figure it out in Maya.

It's the same: you select the faces you want, then apply the material exactly the same as you would on an object(either through right clicking, either through the hypershade). Hope this helps.

hmm, i don't know what i was doing wrong. when i tried to apply it, the faces would get deselected. i'll have to try it again next time i open Maya, thanks.

Probably you normal clicked instead of releasing the right click (marking menu) or middle mouse button clicking (hypershade). Glad I could be of assistance.
