Why are my renders white?

I downloaded a bunch of files from sketchfab and cgtrader, but all of the objects become white when I render. I added the appropriate surfaces and yet it comes out white. I compared this to the files that I downloaded from deviantart, which turned out fine. Attached is a picture of both for comparison. Please help!

Most likely the models are not UV mapped.
Is that the same thing as adding textures under "surfaces"? If so, I did
No, the UV mapping tells the system how to wrap the images around the model - Daz Studio doesn't do UV mapping, it has to be done before the model is imported.
I see. Thank you so much for answering!
