Indeed!  :-)

Well, let's say the model is an LCD TV.  And let's say I am *required*
to make it all one mesh, but on the TV screen alone I want to put an
interactive MovieMaterial while having a regular BitmapMaterial on the
rest of the mesh.   I am assuming from your last response that in this
case, since it must be a single mesh with multiple materials,  I will
need to use Collada.  Correct?
