problems with weightmaps

hi,
i just have a problem with weightmaps, they seems to work different as in 1.0.
"unweightmapped" parts are just BLACK
i tried the new polygonselection feature as workaround but it seems to be impossible, to add 2 mxm tags to the same object.
(works with mxm AND plastic e.g. but I just need 2 mxm)

here is an example:

V1.0

V 1.1

any idea how to finish that one with 1_1?

thanks and all the best,
andre

no weigthmap, 1 layer bsdf mat + roughness map for text ;)

thank you
but I want to test other setups with metall for lettering e.g....
weigthmaps are really important for me, just have no idea how to use them in 1_1..

just a though, did you remopen you mxm in 1.1 mat editor, then remake a preview, re-save, re-test ? maybe it would avoid your problem ;)

did you render it with -HD? cause if yes, you shouldn't, it will render much faster ;)

thank you thxraph for your support, It really seems to be an issue / bug....

no weightmaps anymore, no useful polygonselection (just a single mxm), I realy have to go back to 1.0 :cry:
