Known Issues

• In order to use a gMotorMaterial you must be using the scanline renderer.
• You can only setup the first 8 sampler slots for a Material in the max plugins. Any further slots need to be setup in the Material Editor. It is not anticipated that this will be fixed.
• At export time, you will be told about issues with your mesh, however you will not be given an exact vert or face id to track down the issues.
• Exporting to FBX with gMotor Materials crashes max. Convert materials to standard first.  Under investigation.
• Plugins do not support the Slate Material Editor. Use the simple material editor. Under investigation.
• Some meshes seem to export with out giving a complete message for some reason.  Under investigation.
