Importing picture as texture/model

[Gamer4Life]

I'm relatively new to blender but trying to self teach myself blender and leadwerks at same time and it can be frustrating. I am trying to import a picture/.jpg into blender then transfer it as a texture or model into Leadwerks. I have the picture in blender on a plane and have it in the UV/editor, with face textures applied and the scene camera can pick up the image, however when I go to export it only lets me export it as a model and when it does it exports the blank plane and blank grid mat. Not sure what i'm doing wrong. Any recommendation what i might be doing wrong?

You're on the right track. If you have the Leadwerks editor open you can drag a JPEG into any project folder and it will convert it to a texture (and a material, I think). I've had the best results if I put the model and its textures in the same folder (and it should automatically texture the converted model for you).

Awesome. I honestly didn't think it would be that simple. I didn't realize it would automatically convert the file once i put it in the folder. Then just right clicked to generate mat and boom. Awesome thanks.
