In the material editor I loaded a 1024 x 1024 map.  I cropped several areas in the Material Editor and used them for 6 sides of a cube using a multi-sub object material. The Material was using the same map for each side with an area in the map cropped for each side.  I exported the cube using Pandasoft’s directx exporter.  I imported the cube in the game engine and the cube has the Large map on all sides without any crop at all.  I’m thinking it’s the game engine.  It looks fine in Max. Anyone else have a similar problem and how did you solve it?

Game exporters typically do not support any Material Editor tweaks to the bitmap, including UV tweaks, filtering settings, etc. A programmer can add support for these, but they usually don’t. You’ll need to do this in the UV channel itself, using the UVWUnwrap modifier.
