Newbie Question on texturing (Sorry)

Hey guys, I’ve just recently downloaded blender and know the basics however i have one very stupid question which a lot of you will probably find annoyingly easy but anyways, i have bought a few .obj and .3ds models with textures and when i open the the files there’s just the model, I know it’s meant to do this but since the model is already uv mapped or whatever and has been pre-textured, how do I add the textures that come with it. Is there a quick way?

In the defualt viewport it is set to Solid draw in the icon next to the window mode - set it to Textured view and see if they are viewable already. You might have to set up materials and apply the textures set to the existing UV - do not unwrap your models, that will bork your texture placement.

thanks Craig will try it now
