I have looked into models for radient, but i dont really understand. I mean, if you import an md3 into radiant, it has no textures on it, and there are no other formats that it allows you to import?

If there are no textures on the model, its a problem from the model, not from the radiant.
You can import with radiant those files:
-.md3
-.ase
-.lwo
-.obj
-.3ds
-.pictoterrain

you can choose between them when you click on the .md3 over the "cancel" and "open" button

A lot of models go in the mapobjects subfolder, you should check the "readme" file, so:-

baseq3/models/mapobjects/YOURMODELSFOLDER/yourmodel.md3

Those aren't models, you can delete them.
You need to write shaders for the model materials first.

<material name>
{
qer_editorimage <texture file>
{
map <texture file>
}
// whatever you still need
}

Banksy, none of us did when we started mapping, there's a lot you need to know and understand before you can go much further.

When I started mapping a lot of people helped me, my advice is to choose a friendly mapper and let them guide you a step at a time through all the little bits you'll need to know.

It's probably best if you fire up radiant and come on the irc channel where a lot of us hang out and ask your questions in real-time a step at a time.
