3D model sites offer most of their models in the OBJ format. That's great because BluffTitler also supports this format!
But the OBJ format has one major annoyance: the material info is stored in a separate MTL file, which is often forgotten by the uploader.
This tutorial explains how to fix this.
When you open the OBJ in BluffTitler, by choosing LAYER > ADD LAYER > ADD MODEL LAYER..., the model is fully white because there is no corresponding MTL file.

Luckily the texture is included, so we can fix this!
Choose MEDIA > CHANGE TEXTURE... and select the mandrill_albedo_8K.tif file.

Now do something creative with the model with all the effects BluffTitler has to offer!

Thnx Michiel...but what if there is no texture.....can we create our own texture??

Filip, that's a lot more difficult.
The System\UVMap effect can help to extract a texture from a model. The installer comes with a demo:
Model\UVMap.bt

The BFX file does exactly the same as the CFX file. It's the uncompiled version:
