Might need to delete history from the extract command.

If you're using the 3D Paint tool, make sure you apply a seperate material to each piece that you want to have a seperate texture on.

Also, polygonal meshes need to be UV mapped. I don't know if the downloaded female model has UVs or not, but if not, you'll need to do so.
