i'm new to xsi, and i'm not sure if this is anywhere else, but i've used about 3 tutorials on how to texture my objects in XSI and so far i haven't had much luck. i've tried going to material-phong-image-new from file and getting my texture, with the setting to a unique UV, but nothing happened. i also tried highlighting my model with ctrl a and texturing it using Lord Bandu's tutorial, but that didn't work either. I'm using the free version of Autodesk Modtool 7.5. help or tips would be appreciated.
my second problem is, i can't export through crosswalk. whenever i click crosswalk-export-XSI5.0 it just gives me an 'unspecified error'.
i also have one last question which is, all my objects are extremely hard edged. how do you make the edges more rounded?
sorry if these were stupid questions, but i have been through quite a few tutorials and i thought it was time to ask.

you must click (in the part that I draw on the image) and change to TEXTURE DECAL, so you can see the texture on your model.

i can't find that button where you said it was. it might be because thats the 6.0 version but i'm not sure. where is it on the 7.5?

7.5 is relatively the same, at least in this prob.

U see that screenie there, and that green circle around the drop down menu, that drop down menu, with small amount of searching, will eventually show texture decal, iz easy.

If ur texture still doesnt show up, try consulting the tuts one more time, by the book.
