Problem with joining meshes

Support Basics & Interface
1

Hello. I haven’t blended in quite a long while, so there’s a lot of little details I can’t remember.

My problem is, I have a figure whom I’ve separated into a bunch of meshes. I’ve given each mesh a color material and textured the parts of my figure. Now I wan’t to join the meshes into a single mesh, but when I do so the material colors join as well. If one part of my figure is white and another part is blue, they both either change to white or blue.

Now, I’ve come across this problem before and I solved it, but that was a long time ago and I can’t remember how I did it. Any help please? Thankyou.

You need to assign each material to a group of vertices. The Materials will still be in the MA: Datablock menu, you just need to assign them and make each a single user:
