-find your file and import it
-allow to fully load
-youll notice loads of spheres down the side of the screen in familiar textures (if you cant see them click the box that looks like 4 circles)
-double click each sphere (opens a small window) and click the " = " (equals) to the left of 'cancel' this should make the top two coloured boxes the same colour. This sets the shadow colour.
-Repeat this for each sphere, each sphere represents each texture your object has, if you have so much spheres that you cant see them all just click and drag the visible spheres up to reveal the lower ones.
-When you're done click 'object' then 'export' and save the file to your NoLimits objects folder and make sure all of the texture image files are there too.'
sounds familiar, almost like i wrote that on another thread.
