The models that come with Truespace are saved in .Cob format which is Truespace's native tongue.
If the package you are trying to import the models into can handle .Cob format then the procedural textures and animation should still be there.
But... If you are exporting the models as another format then what is retained is dependant on THAT format.
Example .DXF saves no textures or animation information.
I do not know your level of knowledge in 3D modeling and I am no expert myself, so please do not be offended if I am repeating what you already know. 8)
When I create a model and export it I also export any texture maps into the same folder as the model, so that I can reload them into other apps.
The idea behind Truespace and most other 3D apps is to create pseudo 3D content, animate if nesessary and render it out as either a 2D still for a background or as an Animation for compositing into video or game anims as effects.
What app are you trying to get your models into?
