Myth unit model tips

[William Wallet]

I know I promised I'd stop posting here once someone gave me what I wanted, but I'm asking anyway - has anyone got tips on how to get something intelligible from the Bungie unit 3d models? (Maybe I'm not even meant to have them, who knows).
I'm opening them in Alias Automotive 2012 and frankly can't make head nor tail of this lousy interface. (Or maybe it's an industry leader in 3D software - I honestly couldn't tell you, it looks like a hot mess to me).
I can't figure out how to get it to load textures or materials, so everything looks like The Riddler with these big QUESTION MARKS drawn all over the place.

I dunno, there must be one or two people lurking in the community who know something. Could someone shoot the shit with me (preferably not on Hotline, maybe Skype or something) vis-a-vis using the models? Would I be well advised to try and open them/export them to a different program altogether?
