no.
in fact many primitives, some extrudes are supporting multiple
textures on one mesh.
you can set a material per face if you want to.

I just got off the phone with a buddy who is familiar with modeling.
He said I had two options: unwrap UVW or multi subobject maps. He
told me multi subobject maps break apart a model, leaving nothing
intersecting. Do I still have to worry about the performance hit even
if the meshes do not intersect?

Hey Rob,
Is it possible to apply multiple materials to a single mesh? If so,
is there a performance hit for doing so?

Hey Jacob
generally it is not the best approach purposely importing
intersecting
meshes into the away3d engine, as this will require the
intersecting objects
renderer to be drawn, which takes a lot more processing overhead
than the
basic renderer. As for your other two questions, i'm unfamiliar
with using
blender (in fact I have limited knowledge of any 3d package) so
would ask
whether someone else on the list can help out here?
cheers

In the initial post about the new addition of the AS3Exporter,
Fabrice
mentioned a good use case would be a scene with "a human model,
with t-
shirt, hair, shoes etc". I am building an application with a
similar
use case that requires me to separate components (body and
sleeves) of
a model (tshirt) into unique meshes which will later reference
dynamic
materials designed by users. Instead of giving the user a blank
rectangle to design on, I would rather provide users with an
outline
of the surface area for each mesh.
Since I am new to both 3d modeling and the away3d engine, I could
use
your help to find resources on:
1) separating components (sleeves and body) of a single model
(tshirt)
in blender
2) generating separate materials for each component that will
later be
used as surface area outlines
3) importing intersecting meshes into away3d
