As you know, TDW was not able to bypass the problem with assigning more than 3 maps to a mesh. It is moderately simple to make up to a medium level complexity GR2 from a very simple one (like a life boat, with very few meshes/bones).

most SHIII to SH5 ships use just one of each map (diffuse/specular, self-illumination and bump), and are split in several meshes so it is unlikely that each mesh will need for more than 3 texture maps and 1 material assigned. But talking about the same topic, have you seen
this post by me? Unless I am very much mistaken, it seems I have found the perfect exception to the "two materials" rule.
The worst problem I have met so far with TDW's editor is its tendecy to break chains, especially when bone/meshes are renamed or when unused materials are removed. This forces to frequent back-ups, in case something goes wrong. Moreover, I have encountered a weird problem that I have still to solve with distorted diffuse/AO mapping on the lighthouse model that I have been workin on lately.
