Making my own unit model, I found out that the models need to be in the FBX format, which is no problem for me. I used Nexus to import it, and the model turns up pink (no texture). So I go into the Material Editor and press UnitShader then at Base TextureMap I select the DDS skin image (It's a DXT3 with alpha channel) and the material preview doesn't update or show the skin. I press Assign material to my unit, still nothing. Could someone help me here?

On top of this, I don't exactly know how to add animations to my unit if I'm suppose to do it with my modeler or with Nexus and I'm not sure if I would be able to use pre-existing animations either. If someone could just point me in the right direction or better yet make a tut on it, I would be very grateful.
 
how did you get Nexus to even work?

On initial startup, I just pointed it to the correct directories... I have Win7 OS and Steam is installed on the C: drive so... I wouldn't and shouldn't have problems to begin with.
