Hope that gets you in the right direction.

PS. a lot of ppl still use Blender 2.5 cause you can add the script file to it for exporting to Torque directly, but finding the script file.....

Ummm, I ran into that and a few others have too. You have to map the textures onto the parts you want and then save it out or it may not associate them with the mesh. there are Free videos on Blenders site that shows how t map textures to a mesh/ object, I remember them saying something about un-wrapping the model so you can map the texture to it.That's about all I remember right now!
Hope that gets you in the right direction.
