Try typing in the texture. Open up the .material file with Notepad and this is what you see....
material zebraMat
{
receive_shadows on
technique
{
pass
{
ambient 1.000000 1.000000 1.000000 1.000000
diffuse 1.000000 1.000000 1.000000 1.000000
specular 0.010000 0.010000 0.010000 1.000000
emissive 0.000000 0.000000 0.000000 1.000000
texture_unit
{
texture zebraTex.jpg
tex_address_mode wrap

}
}
}
}
Type that into the Material box in Object Maker.
All codes will look quite similar to this one, the red text is what needs to be typed into that box. Its the same with every other .material file.
Try doing that.
