Thanks to everyone that has replied and tried to help, I really appreciate your help and comments. I will try answers everyone's questions in here but if I forget you out it's not that I haven't read your comments or anything.

Grayhem I tried using the materials in Vue but it didn't work out to well for me, I don't know how to add a texture to one particular part of the sketch, when I do it it changes the whole lot and just doesn't look that god or professional. One thing I have learnt is if you import in using xxx.obj then you can select individual components. One problem I am having when I do that is I can not get close enough to the object to see what I am doing, not like in Sketchup where you can zoom in and out easily. I will keep trying and hopefully it will come clear.

LordWexford thanks for the link, I will check it out once I have finished replying to all :-)

Djeser thanks also for all those links, I will go through them after replying and hopefully find I can get one set closer.

chippwalters thanks for the advice, I did notice mine looked so much darker compared to yours (the table that is! ;-) ), I tried moving the sun (I think) but can never get it in the right place. With the texture on your table did you use the ones that come with Vue or the program you designed it in?

Thanks all for your help, I am off to check out those links and try moving the sun around to see better results. If I get better results I will post it again.

Cheers
