First of all, you might need to save the .blend file somewhere before exporting, as I can't export to .dae without first doing that. Then I export my mesh as a .dae to ~game/art/shapes/trees (or rocks or dolphin infiltrators) along with the textures I'm using.

It might be best practice to create a new material within Torque's Materials Editor to act as your object's material. Then, when you open it in the Object Editor you have a material to grab. Nicer than doing it after imo. Hope that helps. I'm not up to snuff with this aspect of Torque though.... In fact I wing it most of the time. :)
