Assign a tree material

Assign a tree material.

Do I have to assign materials from the Material Editor for every tree, or is it a easier way direct from Forest?
Maybe this is an stupid question?

Hi,

Yes, you must assign the material from the Material Editor, as any other geometric object.

In 3D Studio, a object must not assign itself the material, because it may be instanced: a same object cloned with different properties (modifiers, material and so).

But the material is applied to all trees of the Forest object. If you want to use different materials for every tree, you must use multi-materials and modify the material ID using the parameters of of the 'Material' rollout:
