1) In modeler hit d then go to Backdrop Tab then Load Image and add a image into the backdrop you want. Use automatic size to size the image to a plane or box.

2) Hit ctrl-F4 or hit the Image Editor tab on the top left in modeler or layout and Load images here for use as textures. I dont know exactly what file formats LW accecpts for texture images I like to use tiff or Jpeg.

3) Try modeling with Sub-Patches. Tab button to Sub-Patch an object. Create a box and hit Tab, watch the Sub-Patch fun. Philips Mclaren Tutorial is great for learning Subpatches and Splines.
