The texture should be a .dds and then added to the model inside your modeling program, then you should export the model as a .dae and if it supposed to be a entity and not a static object then you need to open it in the model editor and you need to make a .mat file with the material editor Smile

You make your own texture with either Gimp or photoshop

ah okey, so I guess I have to know the exact size on the model then?

Nope, models use UV textures which is a good but somewhat confusing way of adding textures. Uv's unwrap a model into 2d and from there you make your texture according to the 2d picture Smile

Continuing further

Go check a tutorial for UV Wrapping to learn how to texture the textures.

well actually I have created the shower and textures now, should I put the textures in to "materialEditor" to get spec files and so on? Smile
