Sean, thanks for the reply! I need clarification, however:
1) Could you provide an example of this layering technique? As far as I know or have seen, layers are used to facilitate alpha manipulation and other effects applications... I'm unsure how to exploit it for multi-texture use. 2) I believe I saw that thread you are referring to. The free versions of ColladaMax only work up to Max 2009 (I tried using 3.05C, which broke my 2010), are there options for later versions of Max? Also, what are these control points you speak of? I tried searching on it but turned up nothing. It's been some time since I've used Max, so forgive a possibly ignorant question. thanks for any help!
