Material Editor

imported the wood texture into the material editor, then applyed it to a box

this can also beed done to apply multiple texttures to different sections of the same object
clicking on the get material tool, then Multi/Sub-Object

then adding the wood texture, and a general colour to the same material window, inorder to give an object multiple textures

first i applyed the material window to the default teap pot shape, them selected the top element and changed the material ID to 2 so that the colour changed to the secondard colour from the material window
i am not sure why the teapot appears to be 3 colours, with a light and dark wood, even thout it is the same texture

the texture can also be rotated on a surface, incase it was facing the wrong way
