"Blitz3d tranlates 'smoothing groups' to 'surfaces' - each surface can have a different texture. EntityTexture() does not take surfaces into account and will draw the texture over the whole mesh. You need to use PaintSurface() to texture individual surfaces."

I used countsurfaces, but there's only one surface (the whole character mesh, that includes groups)

ascii code reveals stuff like this (it seems there are 5 meshes... but I use .b3d export from Milkshape, so I presume those meshes are lost in the export?)
