Check out Daften's tutorial series. It covers Fmdl Studio v2, which is what you'll need. Note that a few things have changed in FMSv2 since the tutorials were created.

The complete set of files for the texture need to be in the same place in order to convert them. Meaning you need the .ftex, .1.ftexs, .2.ftexs and .3.ftexs in the same folder to convert the texture. You can't just convert the first set of mipmaps by itself. Once you've got the complete set of textures, you can use FtexTool to convert them. Then you just take the .ftex and .1.ftexs from your converted texture and place them in the pftxs.
