How do you texture an object or surface?

N00B · 23rd September 2004, 11:41 PM

I've created some 3D text I would like to chrome. I am able to change the color by clicking on any of the colors shown at the bottom left of my screens but I can't figure out a couple things.

What textures are available?
or
How to apply those textures?

Can anyone point me in the right direction?

On a related note I would like to add a row of diamonds (like you find in diamond rings) to some of the surfaces. Is there an object called diamond somewhere or do I need to draw one myself? I really can't imagine figuring out how to do a multi-faceted object that elaborate.
