Multiple Textures, one object.

Here's the deal.I have one object, but if I UV map it some parts don't have enough room for detail. So I was thinking, if I used many texture on one object, I'd have enough detail in those areas. Now the question is, how to apply many texture to one single object. I know about 'Disconnect Components', but I don't really like that method, so if anyone else can tell me another way, please tell me. Thanks,
Jabba

And what if we wanted to know as well?
I assumed that it was impossible in Battlefront II, but then isn't there that extra detail on the capital ships?

Asajj, Durge, Qui-Gon and others all have multiple textures.

Ok Rekubot, what you do is create clusters.
First you give the model a projection. Then create clusters (select the polys you want textured and pree Ctrl + L) When all your clusters are done you select them thru the explorer and assign a texture to each one.

Ohhh. Sorry, I was thinking about a completely different thing. I was thinking about how an object has a low resolution texture when you're far away, but as you get closer and closer to the object the texture becomes a much higher resolution. Silly me. Thanks anyway though.

Rekubot, that capability was supported even in SWBF 1 (This is liwis btw). I'm not sure, but I think that the munge does it automatically, otherwise you set it up manually along with your lowrez meshes.

Rekubot, you're thinking of a Detailmap?

Hehe, yes I expect so. I'm guessing it's as simple as using the Edit Flags option, selecting detail map and choosing the texture?

Detail Mapped
Render Type: Render Detail
Data 0: detail tiling in the U direction
Data 1: detail tiling in the V direction
Texture 0: diffuse texture
Texture 1: detail map texture
Description:
Detail mapping an object will give the object the appearance of more texture resolution when close to the camera. It is useful for simulating finely, rough surface such as cement or rocks.
Comments:
The detail map should have an average intensity of about 0.5, which insures that the overall brightness of the object will not be affected.
