texture won't apply properly to object

I downloaded the linked file from sharecg http://www.sharecg.com/v/84475/browse/5/3D-Model/Abbaye
Image.
I can open the object (model) file in DAZ 4.7, but I can't get the included (or any other) texture to apply properly.
They show up as a solid color. :??:
I hope someone here can help me. The creator of the file has not been very helpful.

Yeah, going to be problems! The Materials folder had 4 material files in but the model has only one material zone, plus the .mtl file has no material file references. The .3ds also loads the same fashion in Bryce.

Can anything be done with it, or am I out of luck?

I am by no means an expert on that sort of thing, but I strongly suspect you'd need to UV map it, to get individual texture/material zones

Thanks for the information. As I have no idea how to do that, I'll see if I can figure out how to do it.

EDIT: Okay, I am clearly in over my head with this. [img]images/icones/icon11.gif[/img]

Can someone help me?

I'm not a modeller or anything, so be forewarned. I spent a few minutes on it. I imagine there are some mistakes in some zones and likely other problems (like names being generic auto-generated ones). It was just kind of thrown together to hopefully give you something to work with if you don't get better help.

I don't believe I can add an attachment to this post, so you'll need to give me an email or something where I can sent a file if you want it.
