Planar mapping is definetely the easiest, I think. Morrowind can't handle Multi-Sub objects and probably Oblivion can't either. Multi-Sub objects is what Max calls several textures on the same mesh, and it makes it easy to make textures look good on all sides of an object, at least inside Max. If you've checked out Bethesda models I'm sure you've seen how they use planes all over the place to build many of their meshes.

multi-sub mapping works in morrowind it just doesn't like to call it that. You just have to have a certain element or faces selected when you apply the different textures. They have to just be normal textures and not multi sub. I've done it several times, I didn't think you could do it with the physiqued objects but adding NiTriShape to the user defined properties allows multiple textures on a physiqued object too.

The nice thing about statics is you can actually have entirely separate meshes and textures in the same scene and they will all be rendered in morrowind.
