Can someone please direct me to a tutorial or information that will show me how to properly create a texture within XSI Mod tool that can be seen in the game.  I have a new ship.  A Ambassador class from star trek, I built from scratch. I have successfully imported into the game.  It shows up correctly, only black.  I know about the "black ship syndrome"  I have seen that people have overcome it and they have describe 3 different .dds files that need to be included in the texture, but there is no information on how to create this texture within XSI mod tool. I have watched a few Neosis tutorials, but they are obivously not geared twords modding SOASE.  This is day 4 of my frustration in creating a texture that will work in game. I am pulling my hair out and feel very stupid that I cannot think my way through this.  Can anyone point me in the right direction.

thanks
Chris.
