Proper XSI Mod Tool Texture setup for ships

Can someone please direct me to a tutorial or information that will show me how to properly create a texture within XSI Mod tool that can be seen in the game.  I have a new ship.  A Ambassador class from star trek, I built from scratch. I have successfully imported into the game.  It shows up correctly, only black.  I know about the "black ship syndrome"  I have seen that people have overcome it and they have describe 3 different .dds files that need to be included in the texture, but there is no information on how to create this texture within XSI mod tool. I have watched a few Neosis tutorials, but they are obivously not geared twords modding SOASE.  This is day 4 of my frustration in creating a texture that will work in game. I am pulling my hair out and feel very stupid that I cannot think my way through this.  Can anyone point me in the right direction.

thanks
Chris.

It's all written in the documentation. You have even screenshots there! Documentation is attached to Forge Tools.
