Hi, I do sometimes buy some objects at Turbosquid that I download as .obj files. They are represented as a single mesh object in Maya, however when I look the material of this mesh, I see different tabs representing the different sections of the mesh with the different materials (e.g. a duck would be seen as 1 mesh, but 1 material for the body, 1 for the left eye and 1 for the right eye). How to split up this mesh in different meshes by material ? Thanks.
In the hypershade, you can right-click and hold to get a marking menu over each material. One of the options is to "select objects from material" (or something like that). That should create a selection of faces representing those faces that are assigned to that material. With this selection still active, you can choose Mesh>Extract to extract those faces to a separate mesh.
