I May Have Terribly Misunderstood Something...

Could be the way your materials are setup. I can't remember what the AC3D exporter does by default, but you'll want to create a "layered material" in POV in order to show both the texture and the material. You'll also need to specify either filter or transmit, otherwise the color will be solid and whatever is on the bottom won't show through.

i.e.

Code:

material {

   // texture layer
    texture { 
        pigment {
            image_map { tga "texture.tga" interpolate 2 }            
        }         
    }     

    // yellow color with 70% transmit
    texture {
        pigment {
            rgbt < 1.0, 1.0, 0.0, .7 >
        }
    }
}
