I'm wondering which file type is it best to save a model in for importing into BLENDER to convert into .x .

Also, if you will, point me to an excellent place to learn what I will need to know about texturing\ UV Mapping. I have PHOTOSHOP 7 and , of course, PAINT, and don't want to lay out more cash at this time as I am switching jobs and moving.

Thanks for your help, in advance!

Cheers!

I do, export as .obj and import into Blender - I find .obj keeps texture (in a .mtl file which blender should load, if not, it takes no more than 2 minutes to reapply textures in Blender), UVMap, an geometry data (I mean it doesn't convert quads into tris like .3ds and .x do)

.obj it is.
Don't know why I didn't go to their forum for that in the first place...[kicks self].

I found this tut there- very clear and to the point

for everyone interested in UV mapping. Bringing the brushes and textures from Photoshop to apply in Hex is a brilliant idea!

A beer to you both! Cheers!

You're welcome. That was my very first tutorial in Hex, I have a second one that is a little more in depth using my toon T-rex. Never got around to getting the textures painted though.
