Thrupaint making materials for every face (noob)

Hello!

I’ve tried various different methods of texturing within thrupaint, re-sized the texture to a power of
two (512X1024), and exported exploded and as a group, still making a material for each
face. I made the cactus by simply using the follow me tool, push/pull, and scaling. I looked at a nice
cactus in the warehouse and did my best to emulate that.

Anyone have any luck? All I could do at this point is theorize as to a conflict between Thrupaint and
the export process. Thanks for any input!
