Textures or Materials?

You should use both. Materials define the gloss, alpha blending, brightness, etc., wheras textures are the paintings on the object, what the surface actually looks like.

Cool. I will. Thanks!
Make sure to do the lighting tutorials with the materials. If you don''t have lighting on, the material doesn''t get used. I think that''s true anyway...man too much work, my head hurts, time to go home!
Good luck Andy!

That''s true. Really what the material does is define how the surface interacts with light. So if there is no light, it has no effect.
