At what point are you talking about in the process of adding a texture to your model?

 

Do you have the model created?

Do you have a UV map created for the model?

Do you have an image based on that UV Map...such as a .psd source image?

Do you have that source image converted to a DDS file?

 

Let me know the answers to these questions and I'll see about stepping you through the process of attaching the images to your model.

EDIT: Here are the steps I use to attach a PSD image (when I export, the type is automatically changed to a .DDS extension so if I have both in the directory, I'm all set)

 

NOTE: Using Blender 2.45

 

1. Press F5 for the Shading panel.

2. Add a new material and click the "TexFace" toggle on the Material tab.

3. On the Map Input tab, change the selection from Orco to UV.

4. Press F6 for the Texture Buttons panel

5. Change the Texture Type from None to Image

6. On the Image tab, click the Load button and select your PSD source image

7. Split your 3D window and set the 2nd window to "UV/Image Editor"

8. In your 3D window, change your mode from Object Mode to UV Face Select

9. Make sure all faces are selected in the 3D window which shows your UV Map in the other window.

10. Click the menu button in the UV/Image Editor that is just to the right of "UVs" which will display the image list...select the image you just loaded and it should then show up on your 3D model.

11. When you export to NIF, be sure to force the DDS extension to help speed things along and you will now have a texture property in your NIF file and can change the texture path as necessary.

 

Hopefully, I didn't leave out any crucial steps. ;)

It's fairly hard to tell what's going on with that picture but you might have normals facing the wrong way.

 

To make it easier to see if your normals are facing the correct way, do the following:

  1. Press F9 for Editing mode
  2. Press CTRL + TAB + 3 for face select mode
  3. On the "Mesh Tools 1" panel, depress the toggle button down for "Draw Normals" and increase the value of NSize so that you can easily see the little blue line that comes out of each face.
  4. Look for faces where the blue line does not show (because it is pointing the wrong way), then select that face and press W + 0 to flip the normal. This will ensure the texture is displayed on the correct side.

This also assumes that you already used the CTRL + N to recalculate all normals outside but some faces tend to be troublesome and require manual flipping.

 

The other potential problem is your UV Map and how well it was created.
