Re: Texturing
Since you don't give us a single hint about what are your models (screenshots would help), and what kind of texturing result you do expect, I assume you're waiting for a general texturing lesson.And I think the manual covers that very well.

Re: Texturing
Ha that's better
For the first sword I suppose you want a metallic look for the blade, maybe a wood or a kind of textile look for the handle, and another kind of metal for the yellow part ? Do you have a good paint program like paint shop pro, the Gimp, ... ? First you have to find textures or make them yourself (ie. generate them or extract them from a picture ...). (except if you only want to make a render, then Povray (for example) has some good premaid materials) Then you will have to unwrap your model in the TCE, by selecting surfaces. After that you will have to save these unwraped surfaces as a picture (or in the clipboard), then open it in your paint program, and paint on it with your textures ...

Re: Texturing
The TCE does NOT unwrap models, first off. It merely projects the model onto a texture from a given angle.
Second, clear instructions for using the TCE and texturing are in the manual, which is easily available as a .pdf from the Downloads section of ac3d.org. Third, by way of clarification, the TCE does not create textures, this is what you need Photoshop, PaintShopPro, Gimp, or any of several art programs to create. Materials are a different matter, but materials are not a substitute for textures in most cases.
