Import help for AC3D newbie

Hi, as mentioned very new to AC3D, although I've worked with Lightwave on and off for years. To that end I'm having problems with a .lwo imported object. The object imports fine and in the iso views displays a texture (just a simple plain texture like a muddy red). I didn't attach or import a texture as well, so I'm guessing this is a AC3D default applied.

My problem is the camera view shows no texture at all! Therefore, when I save the object out as a sculpty (for use in SL), the resultant .tga image/object file is just black.

My question is, is there a way to apply a simple texture within AC3D to the imported object so that the export will work? Or do I need to download a renderer (in which case which one for OS X 10.4?) phew!

Thanks in advance for any help...I have looked and gone through the manual, but alas can't find the answer I'm seeking.
