   * In all your Resolution and XXXX View LODs ensure the WHOLE vehicle is highlighted (ALT-A) in O2 and the whole vehicle is named "zbytek"\\

   * In every Resolution and XXXX View LOD ensure every texture you plan to make damaged has a MATERIAL definition\\
   * This also typically means each texture will also have a "_NOHQ.paa" and a "_SMDI.paa" version of the textures.

   * If the texture does not have this, you probably have no choice except to create a Material definition.
