    What am I doing wrong?
    I’m building a bunch of little shacks on a hillside in AE Using AE7.
    They don’t require a lot of detail.
    I’m creating a little house-shaped ai
    I’m creating a little roof-shaped ai
    I put ’em both together as zax solids, and they look fine.
    I apply a texture to the roof. Fine.
    I apply a layer map to the front of the “house.” Fine
    I attempt to apply another layer map to the side of the house.
    Whoooops. Old layer map on FRONT is replaced by the new layer map (#2).
    Even tho I click the right little boxes and so on. I think.
    BUT if I just apply a *color* to the side, there’s no problem. Front keeps layer map. Side turns correct color.
    Also, btw, ae keeps crashing when invoking zaxwerx. So I try to keep each zaxwerx model in it’s own project and do all the rendering and make a .mov or a still before importing it into the comp I want to use it in. A pain.

    I’ve uploaded a sample comp. Here’s the little project. It crashed a couple times, too.
    Please help. This layer map thing is an ongoing problem.
    Go to *******@**********fe.info@straightlife.info." target="_blank">*******@**********fe.info@straightlife.info">ftp://an*******@**********fe.info@straightlife.info. When prompted for password just hit okay. download the houseproject zip. THANKS, THANKS. L.
